Top Review: “This is the cutest place for brunch! The inside is cozy and casual, and the food is delicious and unique. The staff is so friendly and warm as well. The only problem is you will probably have to wait a while to get in. The food here is always amazing! This time we ordered both the savory and the sweet Dutch baby, as well as the grilled cheese – which is to die for! To drink we got the brown butter latte and the happy place latte. The brown butter latte is a must try! While the vibe here is very casual, don’t expect to just plop down and have ordinary brunch. Coming here feels special, especially since it’s so hard to get in!”Bailey V.

Top Review: “Visited Easy Rider Diner and it’s a Fountain Square must! It’s all your old school diner feels with all the modern day breakfast wants. The food is awesome and there’s such a wide array of options. There’s options for vegetarians, chick and waffle lovers, and the traditional bacon and eggs. They have an awesome drink selection both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. I love that it provides both options depending on what you are looking for. We enjoyed our brunch so much as well as the service”Morgan S.

Top Review: “This place has been on my list for a while so I decided to stop by after running some morning errands. It wasn’t that busy so I was seated right away. The decor is very nice and warm with pops of color. There were lots plants around which I liked. I got the Nashville sandwich and I can’t wait to get it again it. The chicken was cooked to perfection goddess dressing was a nice touch. I also got a mimosa (they have bottomless on Fridays). I can’t wait to go back to try some of their seasonal items.”Jaeana D.

Top Review: “The Oakmont was everything I wanted it to be and more. The atmosphere was something you’d expect to see in LA rather than Indy. With walls covered in unique paintings and light up signs, it’s the perfect place to post on IG. My only gripe was that the music was a little bit loud but it certainly wasn’t a huge impact on my experience. I got the classic avocado toast and mixed drink. Speaking of drinks, the cocktail menu is incredible! Service was fast, food was good. I’ll definitely be back.”Shelby S.

I always order my potatoes well done with a side of ranch. Honey for my biscuit. We went on Sunday. It was busy as expected. Friendly staff even with a crowd. My food was piping hot.
