The Good Spot

We had a fun evening and good food at the Good Spot. Loved we could sit outside with our dog on this Friday night. The steak tips came out perfectly as sometimes they can be hit or miss but these were tasteful and tender. We also went with a couple of Coney dogs and the catfish. All made for a nice meal. Our server was also wonderful as she had a pretty busy house inside but stayed on us throughout the night. Can’t count how many times I have drove past this place as so close to home but we both are glad we stopped in finally. The reviews before us helped with that.

Awesome find! The food was fabulous! I only gave the service a 4 because there was only one server working and it was busy. Poor thing was swamped but she was super kind. Just took a while to get service and refills. Atmosphere needed some help. Kinda plain inside and could use some decor and definitely needs AC. Boy was it toasty in there. Will definitely return for that burger though.

My partner and I visited this location on a Wednesday afternoon one hour before the Pacers playoff game. We were greeted immediately and told to sit wherever we like. They offer a full bar, with TV’s on each wall, and music. We ordered 2 drinks from the bar, loaded chili cheese tots as an appetizer, cheese burger with bacon, sweet potato waffle fries, fried catfish, Mac and cheese, and seasoned fries. The food was amazing. The catfish was my favorite because it didn’t have that dirty taste that a lot of catfish has. This place nailed it. Customer service was great. The waitress (I believe she is the owner wife I didn’t catch her name) was busy but she handle it like a boss! Wait times for food was pretty fast. I can’t wait to go back and try the wings. We spent a total of $65 minus the tip.

Don’t let the outside of the building make you nervous. We apparently beat the lunch crowd and had the whole parking lot to ourselves, plenty of parking is available. My daughter and I visited this restaurant and started with a sample of super crispy - well battered - onion rings with a sauce that had us coming back to it repeatedly. I had a bbq burger and my daughter the Hoosier Daddy burger. The burgers were cooked to perfection and juicy and the toppings were crispy and fresh. We also enjoyed some of the crispiest fried wings we have ever had with a mix of what seemed to be garlic parm sauce and some Asian sweet and tangy sauce. Whatever it was is DEFINITELY worth giving it a try. The portions were great and the prices are a steal. We will definitely be returning. Great customer service and experience all around.

First off, the service is great. Very friendly and down to earth people. Portions are generous and prices are super reasonable. The chili dogs and fries are really tasty. I was not impressed with the catfish Po Boy. I couldn’t taste the fish because it was drenched in sauce that I would expect to be on wings. I’ll be back for the hospitality and to try the catfish dinner.

I ordered a 6 piece traditional spicy honey garlic wing and a side of mac. Everything with a 3$ tip was 19$…. FIRE!!! I forgot to take a picture before I ate because it was really fresh

I love this place. They're open later than others, so I can always count on them for a great meal when I'm getting off work late. They also have a bunch of great games available to play while you wait, and I love that they have 106.7 setting the vibes. The chairs are also really sturdy and comfortable! My favorite restaurant on the east side.

First time at this restaurant. I've driven past it several times on the way downtown but never had the opportunity to stop in until now. I'm glad that I did. The food was really good and has a nice selection of food options to choose from. After we were finished eating, the manager or owner came around to each table and had a conversation with each customer. I thought it was really nice. Will visit here again.

We were looking for a new place to eat and stumbled across this amazing spot. I was a little skeptical at first but once we opened the door all of that went away. The restaurant is so clean and bright on the inside. The people that work there were helpful and friendly. The food was freshly made and came out piping hot. We will definitely be back. They have so much more on the menu I need to try

Found this place on Yelp so gave it a try. It is a NO CASH establishment. We ordered the fried pickles and we each got a Philly cheesesteak. The pickles were light and refreshing. The cheesesteak had good flavor and the bun was good. Just wish there was a tad more meat on it. The bartender/server was really friendly. The place had a few people flowing in and out. Good feel.

I'm conflicted with this review. Did a to-go order. I came for the Parmesan Garlic wings, but was given the wrong order so I have to review what I got. The wings are HUGE and very crispy. Top notch frying technique. It took 40 minutes to get my food, as they had a mix up in the kitchen, but the bartender was nice about it. The wings are very good, but I couldn't help but he disappointed that I had to wait so long and got the wrong food.

We finally tried the Good Spot!! We have always rode past it but never landed on eating dinner there. We stay super close to there and heard great things from one of our friends. We tried the wings (they were a little bigger than I liked) and the buffalo salad. The salad was decent! The sauces on the wings were really good. We love that the hours are open late! Def helpful and we had good service that night. I thought it was super cute that they had board games and stuff in there. I'd say the music can turn up louder to make it more chill :)

Back again and I swear it's so good and it does hit the spot! I had my ole faithful the Manhattan and it never disappoints I tried something different with it the Cole slaw.. let me tell you it was so juicy and flavorful the hubby had the BLT and I knew it was good because he didn't speak the entire time we were eating.. the service is always good and as far as the atmosphere you know it's good when you walk in and they're playin Mary J and Prince it's something about good food and good music it just makes the food digest so well!

This is a great place for all. You can take the kids, coworkers, have an after work drink. The ambience is a vibe, the have games, great music, and great service. Our food was amazing and at affordable price. I will definitely go again. But dont take my word for it go check them out.

The fact that I haven't written a review before now, is shame on me! And if I have-it's ok because I love this place and I could write about it all day. One of Indy's hidden gems, the Good Spot is theee SPOT! A small place with a lot to offer, you won't be disappointed when you pull up a seat. This has become kinda our weekly spot for wings and things. Consistently delivering some of the best wings I've had in Indy. But don't stop there, try their burgers, their fried pickles, their tots, the pizza, their chocolate cake-anything on their menu is going to be delicious! I've had a variety of items and although we usually get wings, I haven't not loved everything I've tried. The owners know what they're doing here! The kitchen staff holds it down! Sarah our favorite server, knows our regulars! She knows what we're going to order before we get settled in our seats. The team makes us feel welcome every time we come in. I love the atmosphere here. You can grab a board game or a deck of cards to play while you're waiting for your food. Or pull up to the bar and watch one of three screens for games and chill. If you haven't been to The Good Spot, this is your time to go. Check it out and let me know what you think! A card only establishment, leave the cash at home.

Service and food were phenomenal! We arrived with a group of 15 and the bartender let us know it was only her and it may take a while. She was unbelievable! So attentive, great recommendations, quick to refill drinks, absolutely amazing service. Food was top notch! Philly was on special and 7 of us had it, awesome sandwich. Wings, onion rings, burgers, and kids pizza were all great as well. So fortunate to have stumbled upon this awesome spot!

We accidentally stumbled on The Good Spot after a show at the Hi-Fi Annex and let me tell you, this is indeed a good spot! Our server was nice and since it was our first time visiting, advised us of their specials - we went with chili cheese fries and they were perfect! I would love to come back, they have board games to play and a full bar, very welcoming atmosphere and decent prices!

Food is consistently great. Only place I've gone in Indy several times and always finish my plate. Great service and cheap beer too! This place is a gem.

Let me precede this by saying that I love a restaurant that gives you a warm feel. Like Cheers " where everybody knows your name" and this place gives me all the feels. When you pull up you could miss it if you're not looking up. It's very quaint, but the inside is super light with a full bar and chill ambiance. I also love a place that gives pub vibes but I can bring my kids. The food category is comfort because the menu is reasonably priced with lots of food. Great service and I've heard they had karaoke on Wednesdays. The bar is fully stocked and there are games to keep the kids occupied, like board games!!!!! I have visited twice and each time I have been so surprised by how great the food is, and it is Black owned and we love a minority owned business.

Fantastic! The sauce & slaw used on the po boy made the difference. I hate Cole slaw but you can't have this sandwich without it. The flavor was unreal. Even the onion rings were flavorful and seasoned well. The fried pickles with the G sauce was phenomenal. I come to Indy once a year and this will be my go to spot every year moving forward.

This guy lace may be off the beaten path, but don't let that fool you. It was my first visit. I had heard about the Good Spot's tenderloins. They were pretty tasty! Their cole slaw and hush puppies were also good. The service was great and the inside looked fairly new. It was clean and well kept. They also had outside seating. However, since it was 100+ heat index, we ate in the A/C.

I absolutely love this neighborhood restaurant! The food is great (homemade), prices are exceptional, and the service is unbeatable. Highly recommend!

From the outside I wasn't sure if it was open but once inside...what a great place! Clean and well lit. My server, Rayann, was so sweet, knowledgeable and recommended several different options. I had that catfish po' boy which had coleslaw, dill pickle relish, diced tomatoes and a drizzle of Creole sauce that surprisingly wasn't spicy. I choose their fries to go with it and they were perfectly crispy and not over salty at all. Overall I highly recommend checking it out!!!!

I was excited to dine with Sigi's Matter of Taste Group. I enjoy meeting new people and her group changes every week meeting at different restaurants that are locally owned plus we had a great time. The Good Spot has only been open for three weeks and they handled our large group with expertise. The server and bartender were terrific with great personalities. Plates were removed quickly, drinks stayed full and the food and individual checks arrived timely. Omar Hasan, the owner, even came out after dinner to check on us and ask for suggestions from the group. The menu offers a large variety from breakfast to dinners all served from open to close. The Cocktail menu has fun names, and a wide variety plus draft beers are available. You'll find Loaded Tots, Smothered Nachos with Chili, Chicken Wings to delicious Hummus for a few of the Appetizers. Salads, excellent All-beef Chili Dogs, Chicago Dog, Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches, Flat Bread Pizzas, several types of Burgers, Catfish, Beef Tips, Tenderloin sandwiches to Beef Manhattans are just a few of the entree options. The Fries are wonderful but a larger portion would be appreciated. Also, 2 Catfish filets would be nice for the price of the dinner. Those are the only two suggestions we have after our first experience. The interior is immaculate with 4-top tables and a nice bar area. It has a 50's/contemporary style interior without all the old memorabilia. The exterior has been painted a nice charcoal gray and the entrance is on the side. The parking lot is a little rough and additional exterior lighting would be greatly appreciated but as I said, they've only been open for 3 weeks. We'll be back to check out other menu options. By the way, Omar, who served in the U.S. Navy, offers a 10% discount to the Military, EMS, and Police. Nice!

Do not sleep on this spot! Roast Beef Manhattan served with garlic toast! The way it should always be, really. This is my second time in. Love it! Will be back for certain. Service is friendly and on time.. Lovely neighborhood place.

We stumbled upon this place and this is the best hidden gem I have even found. Run don't walk to try this amazing local place out. Don't let the area discourage you. Its just mins from downtown. The inside is extremely clean and the chairs are comfy. It's quiet and not like your typical bar. The drinks are amazing. Gina makes the smoothest mixed drinks. You won't know your drinking alcohol but you will feel it. I got the guarantee and it taste like cherry sprite. Hubby got 2 beers one on tap and one in can and both were great. We wanted to try a little bit of everything Fried pickles aren't hand breaded but they are the closest thing to hand breaded you'll get. Try the G sauce it's spicy but so flavorful Chicken wings are the best I've ever had. They are crunchy yet saucy. They do not skimp on the sauce at all. We got flamin honey garlic and it was spicy but so good and flavorful. These wings had tons of meat on them Breaded tenderloin sandwich was delicious it was breaded just right and was huge. Came with lettuce tomato pickle and mayo. Would definitely get this again. Sweet potato waffle fries was my side and they are dusted with powdered sugar and they are like a dessert but so good. Smoked rib dinner 5 rib bones which were nothing but falling off the bone meat. They had a great smoke flavor and so tender. No bbq sauce is needed. Side were Mac and cheese and it was like your homemade Mac and cheese and the baked beans were the best beans I've ever had at a restaurant. Dessert we got choc raspberry cheesecake and salted caramel crunch cake. Both were really good. The Carmel cake was the best. It has a toffee like take to it. Everyone here is so friendly and carry on a conversation with you. It's like your eating at a family members house. It can't say enough good things about this place. We had plenty of leftovers as well.

Ok, best chicken wings in Indy, hands down. You get tender, juicy, crispy big wings, perfectly seasoned with experience and love. You gotta try the Sweetest Taboo flavor, it's a whole delicious experience. In my few visits I've had the opportunity to also try their flatbread veggie pizza, cheeseburger with all the fixings, fries, and fried pickles. That said, all this stuff checks out as scrumptious good quality food made with love and attention to detail, so you can't go wrong with anything you order here. One day I'll get around to trying the biscuits and gravy and fried fish (amongst other comfort foods on the menu). I already know I'm going to be a regular here! I haven't even touched on their cocktail menu yet! All of the offerings are especially tempting, and the cocktail names are witty and cheeky. There's also a full bar, bottled beverages, and a few good beers on tap. The staff is on another level; you will feel welcome and amongst friends in this (good) spot ;) This is a place you can duck in alone for a beer and a cheeseburger and good conversation, or hang out with a group of folks. The vibe in this place is special and unique; the owners have really captured magic here. I almost don't want to post this review because I want to keep this place one of Indy's best secret spots- lol.

Was visiting the Indy area and decided to try a tenderloin sandwich. This place was well reviewed and close to my location. Nice little place with good parking. Service was excellent. Vindaloo wings were outstanding. Perfectly cooked and the sauce was so good. Best pork tenderloin sandwich I have had. Will return next time I'm in town.

Service was absolutely fantastic. The entire staff was so willing to help. Made me feel at home. The inside was absolutely gorgeous and clean. I mentioned something to the server and the customer to my right stated he is a regular and this place is consistently cleaned. The food is a great product for the value. Prices were so low for how good the food was. Definitely will return and recommend.

Found this gem after golfing at Sarah Shank. Great food and friendly staff. We had the shrimp po boy and the tenderloin. Both excellent. The slaw on the po boy was killer. Hush puppies were very flavorful. And they're only 12 minutes from work, so I'll be back for lunch soon.

On Saturday my friend and I wanted to find a bar that was playing the WNBA game and we were happy to find out, they were playing it! It was quiet when we came in so our server was quick. She explained the menu as well as told us about the different activities the restaurant host. She talked me into getting the rib tips and I was not disappointed. The food was good! My only wish is that the portions for the sides were a little bigger. The wings were good - they're are actually fried then tossed in sauce. I wish my wings were a little wetter but not a big deal. The vibe was pretty chill and a decent sized spot. The drinks were good too - even if they are on the more expensive side. I'm happy to have found another Black owned spot and I can't wait to come back!

Easy to find, Delicious and clean food, waitress very friendly, definitely will come back.

Sherman said the food here was really good; for real. So I wanted to see for myself. If I had to say one thing about this spot, my word would be wings!! I ordered the 18 count, choosing three sauces; garlic Parmesan, sweet chili & vandaloo. The garlic Parmesan was the best I've ever tasted!! It was the perfect combo of all ingredients. Superb!!! The Sweet Chili was serving. And the Vandaloo, which I named The Good Spot house sauce, was so yummy!!!! It gave me sweet and a little heat, but with an edge. And the wings are far from little in size. Six wings can easily fill you up. The loaded tater tots were good. My only suggestion would be that the jalapeños be diced up to cover all the tots along with the chili, cheese and bacon. I found myself taking some tots in other areas to get the toppings. I opted to switch it up with the Po'boy and do salmon instead of catfish or shrimp. I think I prefer my salmon paired other ways than with a Po'boy. I did however enjoy how all the sauces tasted together. Too much bread for me so I ended up eating the heart of the sandwich. The sandwich came with coleslaw on one side and a dill relish on the other. Then they added a yum yum sauce and another special sauce. Everything was prepared fresh. Sat at the bar. The whole establishment was clean. The lady who took my order was constantly cleaning and taking the proper precautions. She was able to answer my questions and keep me up to date with my food order.

We're new to the area and when we asked our maintenance guy about places to eat, he said this place had the best tenderloin he's ever had. I had the catfish dinner which was great, and got a side cole slaw and crispy fries. My partner had the tenderloin sandwich and agreed that it was pretty good. He also tried the PB&J cocktail which came in a small glass that seemed more like a shot. It was weird but good and definitely tasted like a PB&J. We thought the tables were kind of odd - maybe they were repurposed from an office or something - but they fit the character of an independent locally-owned place.

The food here is good. They have $1 wings on Tuesdays, but only comes in 6, 12, 18. Today I added on the vindaloo sauce along with my regular teriyaki and parmesan garlic. They also have different nights of entertainment.

absolutely horrible food and service. idk how this place is still open. tenderloin was cold and rock hard, burger tasted like pure seasoning salt. fries tasted like "great value" brand frozen fries. Horrible.

Great food and good service! I went with a group on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't packed. I think this is a hidden gem in Indy!

I had a staycation recently. And by the time I got hungry it was so late I was sure everything was closed. However the good spot was open and had one of my favorites. Po'boys. It was really good. Shrimp was perfectly fried. And there wasn't an excess of mayo I ordered over the phone and was able to come right in and out to get my food. It was still warm when I got it. I Am keeping this place in my back pocket for late night food spots.

My coworker and I stopped by here for lunch today. The parking lot and building are a bit on the smaller side. My coworker has been here before and ordered the Manhattan. I ordered the Good Spot Burger. The food didn't take too long which was good as we only have an hour break. The food tasted very good! The check did take a while but it seemed like there was only one or two servers. Overall I would either order ahead in the future or ask for check when we get food to make sure we get back on time!

We haven't had power for about 20 hours so we kind of had to go out to eat. To Yelp I went to find a new place to try. I found this place and there isn't anything bad about it. As soon as we walked in, Gina greeted us. It appears they went through a remodel. It looks very new inside. The chairs are comfortable lol. Gina was outstanding. She was so friendly. She makes a great Moscow mule. The food was so good. We got wings, sweet potato fries, tenderloin, Mac n cheese. The wings are so meaty. The sweet potato fries are so good with that powdered sugar on them. The tenderloin was the right size to meat and breading. The Mac n cheese was outstanding and the kind you find at a BBQ place. I will for sure go back. Gina said they do trivia on Tuesdays. I had a couple of Moscow mules. Gina said don't be mad cause their mule mugs haven't arrived yet. I wasn't mad.

I have been here quite a few times to pickup orders for Uber eats or DoorDash. Each time the customer service has been wonderful, the people there not only know how to make you feel welcome. On top of that the restaurant is always clean. Trying the Good Spot has been on my list of places I'd like to try for a while. I finally got the chance to do so about two ago with my family. We had fried pickles, onion rings and chili cheese tater tots as our appetizers that we shared amongst our group of 12. Everything was good, but next time I would like more chili and queso on the tater tots. When it comes to my burger; it was juicy, seasoned well, and even the bacon was crispy. Even my toddler was trying to get it, as I went to take a picture. As you can see above. Next time I visit the good spot I will opt for the onion rings instead the macaroni. Outside of that I do recommend anyone who's looking to support small local businesses to check The Good Spot out.

My dad came across The good spot looking for a 1/2 way point to meet (I live in OH). My youngest has recently started eating tenderloins and this is what popped up. 3 out of the 5 got the tenderloin and my Very picky 6 yo said it was the best tenderloin EVER! My dad got the beef tips and I got the shrimp po' boy. Definitely high quality food at an excellent price point. Very clean and a great family atmosphere. If we were closer this would be a weekly spot

This place is great! The food is good and the prices are right. The staff and owners are so friendly and the environment has always been super chill. Burgers are great!

Food was ok. Atmosphere was ok. It could be a good spot but they need to up their game. Bartender was great!

Really good, but to give 5 stars they would need a little decoration, may be some curtain, and make sure the noisy ice machine shuts up. I would come back nevertheless, and recommend it.

Fun new "Good Spot" on the near East side. I went with a group the other night and it has a nice casual vibe. They do breakfast thru dinner with a nice variety of options. Everything from wings, burgers, tenderloins , flatbreads and salads. I tried the hummus appetizer which was tasty as well as the veggie flatbread. I enjoyed the flatbread but I thought the crust was a bit thick. Of course the person next to me had the same and preferred the thicker crust so there you go, just personal preference. I asked for a beer recommendation and tried the 3 Floyd's Zombie. Worth it because of the name but really enjoyed it. Everyone enjoyed their choices and the raspberry cheesecake and Carmel cake really seemed to be winners. Staff was very welcoming and took great care of us. There are also lots of tv's so come watch your favorite event. This is a nice addition to the neighborhood so come support it.

Shrimp Po Boy was out of the park good! My sis had the tenderloin and said it was the best she's ever had. Light breading and cool taste the meat. Service great and engaged. Will definitely stop in again.

Great food, service, very clean. My first time trying, it was delicious. My husband and I will definitely be back. The bar tender was very nice. Thank u! Betty& Ed

A new place to check out! The food and decor are awesome! Really nice finishes! Our server was sweet and the food was fast and delish tenderloin was on special, and it was fresh and good! They have a trivia night and a full bar! Give them a try! I aii look says say local is best!

WARNING! This place is amazing ! We placed our food for pick up. The service was great especially over the phone. When I arrived at the location it was a great atmosphere looking forward to dining in next time. The food tasted really good and fresh which was a plus for me. I definitely recommend this place especially if you live close by you have to go.

This is such a hidden gem! RaeAnn was an awesome server, knowledgeable and had some great recommendations. The Manhattan was terrific, the toasted bread took it up a level. The fries and tenderloin were amazing as well. Will definitely be back!

The BooBesties FunDay Tuesday Date Day had us enjoying dinner at The Good Spot!!! My Boneless Chicken Dinner with the Habanero Mango and Garlic Parmesan Dip was YummyLicious!!! The Beautiful BooBestie's Fish and Chips with HushPuppies was just as YummyLicious!!! We will be back again!!!

Such a beautiful little place with super friendly owners! Only open for a little over 2 months and they are incredible with service, atmosphere, and food!! The sirloin tips were some of the juiciest pieces of steak I have ever had and the flavor was incredible! Please support this small owned business and let this place thrive!!! Highly recommend!!!

Very friendly staff! A really nice place to hang out, watch television, play board games and enjoy good company! The catfish was cooked to perfection!

The service and food were amazing. Please don't let the exterior scare you away. Once inside, the ambience is awesome. We took a chance and we will definitely be back.

This was my first time visiting this spot and I must say... the food was excellent. The catfish was seasoned nicely and the salmon melt sandwich melted in my mouth. Delicious! Shout out to owner Omar for catering to us and working the grill like a pro. I would also like to thank Rhonda for her excellent customer service and that tasty strong green drink (I forgot the name of it) and the Virgin Pina Colada! I will definitely visit again! :)

The food was great, the drinks were reasonably priced, on the weekends there is a smoker menu. Don't let the outside fool you, go in.
