The Good Spot

The building sits on the corner. They have a parking lot but I parked on the street. I was greeted when I walked in. The waitress was very polite. I placed a to go order. I was excited that they offered vegetarian options. I ordered the vegan Philly cheese steak and chili cheese fries with vegan chili. I was hesitant to eat it because it smelled like real meat but I was assured that it was the vegetarian option. Being that I haven't eaten meat in over 10 years, you could see why I was a little nervous eating this. The fries didn't look like regular chili cheese fries. It was meat and no chili. The food was made to order so it was hot and fresh. It was definitely flavorful. I'd definitely go back to support this business but will opt for something else.

It was my family’s first time eating here and boy have we been missing out! Roast beef manhattan was spectacular, my husband loved his tenderloin, and even my picky 8 yr old loved his pizza and fries! Jessica was the sweetest and best server ever. She was busy but was attentive and as sweet as can be to everyone! Definitely a spot we will beat frequently!

Catfish was delicious and the hush puppies were some of the best I've ever had. The ham and cheese was as too be expected but could have used some more ham and maybe a pickle spear? Great hole in the wall 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.

I had the double bacon cheese burger, bunless, with coleslaw. This was an amazing large thick burger. My husband had the BBQ burger with fries. It was also amazing. We loved that they had games to play, Uno, cards board games. Connect 4 and Scrabble on the wall. So much fun.

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.

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.

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.

VERY surprised. Service was fast, food was excellent. Love that we found something different. Will definitely be back!!

My friends and I stopped in here for lunch the other day and had fun together, but it was mixed reviews about our visit. We arrived shortly after they opened and only one other table was seated (two women who parked and walked in right before us). The bar tender/server told us to sit wherever we liked. We sat and looked over the QR code menu for some time before she came over and brought us real menus and asked what we wanted to drink. I asked if they had any Prosecco and she said no and didn't elaborate on anything similar they may have, so I asked what they did have and she went and got us a drink menu. They have a cocktail called The Aya that has brut champagne in it, so I was a little confused why that wasn't offered as an alternative to no Prosecco. One friend and I each ordered that since we love French 75s and that seemed to be the Good Spot's take on it. The drink was quite good, also strong, but came out in a rocks glass with a bunch of ice which was super weird. For food, I ordered a double cheeseburger with sweet potato fries, one friend ordered a double cheeseburger and seasonal veggies, and my other friend ordered a flatbread. The flatbread came out 10+ minutes before the cheeseburgers, so she awkwardly waited until our food came out before eating because she didn't want to be rude. It took an hour for the food to come out in general, which again was strange because we were the second table seated and more people started coming in later on, well after our food order was put in. When it came time to pay I saw that our cocktail we ordered was $19! Absolutely insane for a dive bar. The food was good, the cocktail was good, but the price point on the cocktail was way too high and the wait time was too long. I think they are probably better to stop in for dinner and beers, so I would come back again to see if that's a better experience.

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

Surprisingly quaint- the might look a little rough from the outside but the inside was clean, bright and cheerful. The menu was larger than traditional bar food and included all day breakfast. Service was attentive and both meals were even better than expected. The catfish Poboy was huge! The breakfast sandwich was unique and tasty with the addition of strawberry jalapenos jelly. Most definitely will return.

I had read someone's thoughts on how good this restaurant was, and on my continuing journey of exploring Indy, decided to go here for dinner. The building is on the corner in a mostly residential area. I get some anxiety walking into new places, and was a little anxious by the inability to see in the restaurant before entering. Once inside, I was impressed with how clean it was and the newer furnishings. I'd consider it a newer diner-type atmosphere. It wasn't busy and we were greeted immediately and told to choose any seat we'd like. We tried fried pickles I was impressed with their crispiness without being greasy. I tried the shrimp po'boy, which I've never had before. It had great flavor, the shrimp was cooked perfectly, and the portion was more than enough. It was dark when we left and I felt the parking lot could've been a little brighter for safety reasons (but note I'm a first time in my life urban dweller, so you may disagree with that assessment.)

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Let's just say this, The Good Spot is my jam!!! I work on this side of town. I go there for a quick lunch.... Let me tell you, the beef Manhattan is deluxe!!! The burger is mouthwatering. I have never had a bad meal. Super nice people!!!

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!

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

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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

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!!!

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.

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

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.
