Generally I would expect good restaurants in a city the size of Indianapolis. It's the little cities, smaller than, say, Eureka, CA (circa where I get hinky about the food and want to eat at a chains (I still haven't eaten at the Samoa Cookhouse, for example.Windy Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01951254236693386401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-39010447667168642352012-07-02T08:59:32.391-04:002012-07-02T08:59:32.391-04:00Wait, free Glocks?

As in, "You CAN get a good meal there; they have an Applebee's.</b><br /><br />I'm sure there are those who would say the same of San Antonio, and they're just as wrong. I would not be surprised if our fair city's culinary scene has the same problem Indy does, as described by Shootin' Buddy. But either way, there <i>are</i> great places to eat here beyond Applebee's...and Whataburger and Taco Cabana, too, as much as we love the last two. You just have to look for them. I'm sure it's the same in any other large American city.southtexaspistolerohttp://thesouthtexaspistolero.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-79490786621991682292012-07-01T19:35:03.138-04:002012-07-01T19:35:03.138-04:00Critter,

I can't remember the name, but a classy sort of place in a big name hotel.<br /><br /> I eat regularly all up and down the Connecticut and Rhode Island coast, and I haven't had fresher or better prepared fish in Point Judith, Rhode Island, right down on the commercial docks at The Wheelhouse, Champlin's, or Georges.<br /><br /> And I've sat on the upper rear deck at The Wheelhouse and watched the cook go out on the dock and haggle with the fishermen as they tie up.<br /><br /> I was floored, and sent my thanks and appreciation to the Chef, who is probably one of Indianapolis's underappreciated wonders.Ed Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09676740819579030462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-14796656919692408002012-07-01T15:53:11.011-04:002012-07-01T15:53:11.011-04:00We tried Biscuits Mexican American diner yesterday...We tried Biscuits Mexican American diner yesterday. I knew the food wouldn't be bad when I walked in and the place was completely packed. It's nothing fancy, but you won't leave hungry. I had lunch, but the breakfasts looked really good and are served all day. It's behind 3 Wisemen. You might try it sometime.<br /><br />KerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-47743751708923542032012-07-01T15:24:29.789-04:002012-07-01T15:24:29.789-04:00A city the size of Indy, I'd think you would h...A city the size of Indy, I'd think you would have to work at finding just questionable chain restaurant food.
