Northside Social

If you havent made your way over to the Northside yet, I'd highly reccomend it, the Northside Social in particular has delicious food with a touch of southern charm! The service is excellent and the atmosphere is dark and cozy. Their cuisine is a twist on a some classic southern dishes. We stated with some a fresh summer salad. Roasted juicy baby beets, sweet strawberries, tangy balsamic, candied pecans, creamy whipped goat cheese, and fresh frisee come together to create a fresh delicious summer salad. As well as their buffalo cauliflower wings. You don't have to be a vegetarian to fall head over heels for this spicy, crispy, tender, creamy concoction! And my personal favorite was the Mousse Trio. Think the creamiest most delicious tea sammies you've ever had. Smoke salmon, deviled egg, and pimento cheese served up with warm toasted bread and tangy picked veg! TWAIN TIP: Get extra bread! They also had what seemed like a decadent sinful breakfast in one small bite! A fluffy hoecake topped with seared slab bacon, savory bacon jam, tangy pickled green tomatoes, and a sweet honey glaze. Don't forget to get a delicious cocktail or two to go with your startersd! Like a crisp fresh mule. Beware though their drinks are strong and tasty, quite a dangerous combination! Their sides are a indulgent series straight out of grandmas cookbook! All the cheese please! Northside Social is definately added to my top 5 mac places in Indy! They have a few choices. The crispy pork mac n' cheese and the veggie friendly pimento mac n' cheese. Cheese on cheese on cheese! Their bacon braised greens were also quite delicious! Because balance. But also these greens were delicious, talk about a taste of the south! They also have some crisp tender asparagus drizzled with a silky, creamy ramp bearnaise. Now for the main event! The entrees at Northside Social are pretty amazing. Scrumptious, beautiful, and expertly prepared. P.S. my fellow foodies are pretty amazing too! Check out Circle City Supper Club for more foodie coverage! They have a variety of seafood, chicken, pork, and beef options, as well as a variety of fresh made pastas and veggie eats! We started with the plump smokey shrimp, creamy grits, scrumptious salty greens, and a sprinkle of nuts. Talk about southern charm! Next was Pan-Seared Scallops green garlic risotto, glazed carrots, english, snap, snow pea salad, and carrot purée. This might just be the most gorgeous place you've ever seen? If Andy Warhol was in the kitchen I'm sure this would be the product! They also have something similar to a piaya. Don't let the name fool you, the lowcountry boil is nothing but a high quality dish full of flavor. One of my personal favorites was a sinfully delicious fried chicken paired with a creamy hardy pimento mac & cheese could cause a southern affair! If you'd prefer your chicken in cream sauce I'd recommend the Parmesan & Herb Crusted Chicken. This dish feels like home. Creamy pasta and chicken were a staple growing up for my home, but Northside Social's green chili cream and lemon butter broth takes this to a whole new level! Jerk Braised Lamb. Please don't pass this one by! A tender juicy lamb shank, hardy baked beans, and a fresh summer slaw. This was by far my favorite dish, and I can't wait to go back! This is southern so we can't forget the ribs! These smokey sweet peach butter ribs with homemade potato salad will have you salivating for more! And the summer specials are just as charming ! For something on the sweeter side they have a great in house made dessert menu, with a real deal pastry chef! And the creme de la creme! Chocolate cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream served up in the sweetest little mason jar. My favorite was a scrumptious moist peach upside down cake with crunchy sweet candied pecans and bourbon caramel sauce was the perfect end to a perfect meal. twainindy

In 2013 I did a review and only gave them 2 stars...must have been a bad evening...now I revise my review. I cannot get enough of their delicious food! Hands down, no question...this is the best place in Broad Ripple to eat. It's not frozen Pub food...it's the real deal. Go and enjoy! My personal favorite meal...a side of gourmet mac 'n cheese and roasted asparagus with a glass of red. Can't wait to try the Roasted Veggie Wellington this weekend.

Amazing overall experience. Our waiter was fantastic and did a great job explaining how everything here is from scratch, with an ever changing seasonal menu. We cannot wait to come back and try more offerings from here. My pork chop was superb, the cocktails were so delicious (cannot recommend the Kentucky cobbler enough - so smooth and great flavors), and the carrot cake was a terrific ending to the meal. We did the mussels and frites. A pro tip our waiter had us try was to have the frites separate from the mussels. The dish is amazing but separating them allows you to control how saucy or soggy your fries get especially if you’re slow mussel eater like myself.

Our dining experience last evening was a most pleasant one, after not visiting this establishment for a number of years. Everything was wonderful. Our server, Jodi, was fabulous! Extremely attentive & wanting us to enjoy the evening under her care. We had a tiny blip - when served our drinks, however, the bartender dropped by to clear up any misunderstanding of what we ordered. Jodi returned with exactly what we requested. The food was delicious!!!! We were delighted Nicole (she & husband are owners) stopped by our table to say hello & chat with one of our friends, who has known them for a number of years. All in all, a fantastic experience - food wise & socially. We will definitely be back. Thanks to Nicole, Jodi & wonderful chefs.

My first visit to The Northside Social was an "Eggscellent" breakfast after a wonderful sunrise worship service with family! I had the "Kitcher Omelette" with a side of bacon. While the house potatoes, and toast with jam were the perfect accompaniments to the meal, I must say the horseradish inside the omelette was unexpected and just the right flavor to make my taste buds sing! My sister had the "Brioche French Toast" and gave it rave reviews! I will definitely go back on my next visit to Indy!!

Loved everything about my dining experience at Northside Social. Lovely, friendly staff. Amazing cocktails. DELICIOUS, refined entrees and appetizers. Visiting from the Windy City, this restaurant could contend with any of the establishments in our downtown region. I will have dreams about the Parmesan Chicken dish and that cornbread. I also loved the french rosé martini.

Everything tasted wonderful. Be sure to get reservations. Staff was friendly and made great recommendations. The only downside was lighting in the bar area which made it hard to read the menu...that, and trying to figure out what to order because it all sounded amazing!
