DeanInChicago Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 My Top Five El Cheapo recommendations for Circle City Food .... 1. The candy store on Monument Cirle. Rocket Fizz. Located south of Starbucks and Potbellys, and north of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. Open daily. Fridays and Saturdays 10AM - 11PM. 2. Weber Grill. 10 N Illinois St. Near DCI headquarters. If you haven't had your annual corn-on-the-cob fix, this is your place. Lunch and dinner. Closes at 10PM Mondays-Thursday, 11PM Fridays and Saturdays, 9PM Sundays. 3. Urban Market. 111 Monument Circle in Chase Tower. Open Mondays-Fridays 7AM - 2PM. Outstanding soups! Closed weekends. 4. Indiana State Fair food vendors. Grab the #39 Indygo, and head northeast to the fairgrounds. Bus Day Pass $4.00. Individual ride $1.75. The #39 bus runs frequently. 5. Square Donuts. 1 N Pennsylvania. Mondays-Fridays 6:30AM - 2PM. Saturdays 7AM - noon. Closed Sundays. Yummy donuts, but without the round taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxingfred Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) I've been to every DCI in Indy a few BOA's and a couple of NCAA events. The best dining experiences I have had: Fogo de Chao 317-638-4000, 117 East Washington Street- Brazilian BBQ, The side orders and cheeses in the buffet are incredible. The red meat eaters in our group said the meats are Awesome! Tavern on South 317-602-3115, 423 West South Street- I've eaten here about 10 times. Salmon, Chilean sea bass, filet mignon, etc... All Excellent! Fresh in house made deserts! ( I just ate there again tonight!) St Elmo's Steak House, Weber Grill, Ruth Chris Steak House, Morton's Steak House- I've Been to all four more than twice. You probably can't go wrong here. Palomino 317-974-0400, 49 West Maryland Street and Mo's A Place for Steaks 317-624-0720, 47 South Pennsylvania Street - Just as good as the above but, Better side dishes in my opinion. Oceanaire Seafood Room, 317-955-2277, 39 South Meridian Street- I've never had a bad or average meal here! I travel with some hard core Foodies. All we do is talk drum corps and food. Everybody has their own favorites though. I will be trying some of the suggestions on this thread!

oldbandguy Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 For those of you, like me, that are fans of the Food Network's "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives"...Guy has taped several shows from Indianapolis. You can check them out here: http://www.tvfoodmaps.com/s4/Diners-Drive-Ins-Dives/IN/Indianapolis We've also enjoyed some excellent meals at a restaurant called The Library 2610 S Lynhurst Dr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Thunder Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Ellen, Tony, Deborah, Andrea, Scott, Ann: We are meeting at the Slippery Noodle at 4 PM Saturday. Teresa will be wearing her adorable Cavalier earrings. This sounds like some sort of clandestine meeting.
