Wife and I did an early Friday night dinner date here as I had purchased a Fox59 Be Our Guest certificate to use. They have their own small parking lot, which is a major convenience in the Broad Ripple area. They have a decent bit of outdoor patio dining, but it was mid-90s on this day so we chose a table inside.
Normally from what I understand, the servers take drink orders at the tables and customers place their orders online via the QR code to then pick up at a window. However due to our certificate, our server took both our drink and food orders. Wife wanted a draft cider, but they didn't have any so she did a can of Ash & Elm. I chose a Champagne Velvet something that I think was a pilsner from their draft options, which isn't my preferred beer type but I did very much enjoy it.
For food, we ordered the crab dip, fried veggies (which turned out to just be fried mushrooms), a cajun catfish po boy, and a breaded mushroom po boy. The crab dip tasted OK, but it was provided in a small condiment plastic container along with peppers, cucumbers, and saltines. Wouldn't order it again as the actual dip was pretty small and it wasn't a great value. The breaded mushrooms were pretty good and we would consider them again, although it would have been nice to have some other veggies in the mix as well.
Each of the po boys were served over a bed of season crinkle fries. Had we eaten the sandwiches and fries all at the restaurant, they might have been sub-par as the fries seemed soggy and undercooked and I had read in reviews that the bread for the sandwich was essentially served as is and was simply a lot of bread to the ratio of ingredients. However, we both took our sandwiches and most of the fries home for a next day air-fryer re-heat. The fries were fantastic on the reheat and the bread was excellent with a bit of crunchy heat around the catfish and mushrooms.
Because Broad Ripple isn't necessarily that close to where we live, I'm not sure if we would make a special trip to eat here. But if we lived in the area, it would probably be a fun place to get drinks and maybe take some sandwiches and fries home to air-fry later.
