Review Aj's Bar & Grill - Indianapolis

This was our first time dining here. My father in-law and I ordered the fish and chips, my hubby had tenders w/ fries and my mother-in-law had the tuna melt which had a bit too much mayo. Overall the food was really good, the portion sizes are more than enough. Good service.

Okay so now I'm kicking myself for never coming here before now. It's definitely not just a bar but after the food I've had today I have to call it a restaurant. My experience here was so good that I can't ever call this bar food. I came for brunch on Saturday and had the eggs benedict and it was exceptional! Of course I had to stay and have some drinks and as I got closer to dinner time I decided to try the Philly cheesesteak sliders with fries. The sliders were really good but I have to admit the french fries were some of the best I have ever put in my dirty mouth. Wonderful atmosphere and the staff is second turn on definitely stop in and give this a shot. There's a meatloaf sandwich on the menu that's on my hit list next.

My wife and I enjoy eating here. Great service, the staff is awesome (Trina, Keith and Danielle)! We love the fried mushrooms, onion rings, the Italian sandwich and the Reuben. We haven't been through the entire menu yet, but we look forward to trying everything.

After having been to AJs multiple times now, I wanted to update my review! Good spot! Their serving size is just perfect. The Cuban sliders and mustard is really good! They also have some great weekly specials. I had the kohlrabi bulgogi bowl (pictured) this past week. Husband likes this pizza! Staff is always attentive and friendly even on Thursdays which is trivia night.

Update: It's Friday night and we are here for the fish!! Our waitress Trina is awesome and she treats us like royalty! The food never disappoints and with people like Trina on the staff it just makes this our go to spot!! Thanks again Kevin and your staff here at AJs. UPDATE!!- FALL CREEK RD IS NOW OPEN FROM SHADELAND TO 79TH STREET. SEE YA AT AJs!!We were driving up Fall Creek road and found this jem. We were looking for good fish and chips and found it right here. From the perfect head of foam on the Guiness to the great service it was a very nice dining experience. The fish was just right and the fries are great too. Try the fried green beans! You'll be glad you did. ( update: Back again on friday night for the fish and chips. They are so good that I can't wait to try other items on the menu. ) Update!! Once again AJs doesn't disappoint. The food was excellent and the service (OMG) was impecable!! Our server (Louie) was on top of his game!! Cudos to AJs and all the staff!!! Once again AJs has proven to be the place to go!! We decided to go on a Thursday night because of plans on Friday and not only was the food excellant and the service just supreme but look who was in the crowd!! If it wasn't Brian Wilkes from fox 59 at a watch party for the basketball games! Thanks again AJs for the time of our night! ! Update : We took out of town guests here because we love the place so much and once again the food was superb HOWEVER this time the service was less than we have become accustomed to! Our waitress( I won't mention names) was less than attentive. It was 20 minutes between the app arriving and ordering food and instead of getting salads before our dinner it all came at once making for not a lot of room on a small table with 4 people. Maybe Amore' would have been a better choice!! Update: Back at AJs for another fish and chicken dinner. Everthing was perfect from the service ( our waitress Elsie was so great and proud of her new red hairdo too!) Even the owner ( KEVIN ) Came over to see if everything was ok and of course it was a perfect dining experience once again!! Thanks AJs for making our day here at geist!! Update: Another great Friday night at AJs! As always the food was great and the service was great. CUDOS to all at AJs!!

Had a lunch and the food was fantastic. We didn’t have to wait long and the service was outstanding. There was such a good variety on the menu that I had a hard time deciding what to order. Will definitely be back to try the other options.

We've been here several times and the food is always good. Got a large thin pizza this time. Generous with the toppings. It did have too much cheese on it; more than the last time we were there. That made the crust dense and somewhat wet since the moisturecouldnt cook off. Not the cracker crust you'd expect. Still a good pizza though.

Everytime we go to indianapolis this is a must have. The food is always amazing and we always get great service. Everyone is always so nice. You must try the pizza is amazing it is honestly the best pizza I’ve had my kids love it and we always look forward to it. This is definitely a place you must try you will not be disappointed. This place is 100% recommended

I hosted a surprise 80th birthday party for a member of my church choir. AJ’s was amazing and server Tina couldn’t have been sweeter, especially during a busy Sunday afternoon. Food and service was great and they even decorated for us. Outstanding!

Food was really great so was the service and atmosphere. This was our first time going there and we will be going back

Chino and his kitchen staff have helped me with the very best service and catering preparation. I tell everyone about the terrific chef at AJs!

Incredible food, legendary drinks and really cool wait staff. 5 stars!

We recently had dinner at AJ'S. We started off our dinner with the Grilled Cheeses Wedges. The Grilled Cheeses Wedges were good but could use a bit more cheese for it to have that true grilled cheese taste. The tomato bisque dipping sauce had an interestingly warm mouth feel to it. The Chef Paul Prudhomme's Cajun Meatloaf was the perfect comfort meal. The meatloaf had a good spicy flavor that was a great flavor balance for the meal. Meaty, comforting and very warm from the spices. The Fried Green Beans were extremely addictive. Perfectly cooked and crunchy, and tasted even better when dipped in the homemade ranch sauce. The mashed potatoes were creamy and a bit chunky, and tasted very good with the gravy. My son loved his Chicken & Cheese Tacos. Before we knew it he had finished all three. My wife liked the Pittsburgh Style Ribeye Steak, but found it to have far too much fat. A bit surprised that for the price that the additional fat on the outside of the steak wasn't trimmed enough prior to cooking it. My wife loved the flavors from the herbs and brown butter sauce. The Grilled Asparagus was surprisingly tender for the size, and had a good amount of spices and flavor. Also, the Garlic Mashed Potatoes were delicious. For dessert I enjoyed the warm, spiced flavorful Apple Crisp that was chock full of apples. I liked that it was more apples than the granola, and because of that a great balance between the two. The ice cream was a great way to cool off the hot apple crisp and add a level of creaminess to the dessert. My son and wife enjoyed Cheesecake for dessert. My wife enjoyed the Raspberry Cheesecake while my son enjoyed the Turtle Cheesecake. They loved the creamy and richness of the Cheesecake. We have ordered takeout, and eaten in the restaurant. Either way the food is delicious, and served by a very friendly staff. As much as we enjoy the lunch and dinner options from time to time we enjoy brunch here too. Worth the visit if you are in the area (or not).

The food is always great and often enough to share or take home leftovers. My husband and I have enjoyed many different meals at AJ's, but we often order the Indy Loin, Fish-n-Chips, Frickles, and especially the Fried Mushrooms (w/ horseradish dip - yum!). This restaurant is close to home, so we have taken many house guests there as well. Good stuff!

I'm not one to go and post reviews but we went here to watch a game and for my daughters birthday 100% by far some of the best service I've had in a while and real welcoming the food was awsome and the service was better.

The tuna ahi bowl was amazing. Fresh and full of flavor. I haven't had a bad dish yet.

Outstanding. The new atmosphere, menu and service is 10 steps above what previously was The Grill. A great place to meet up with friends and hang out while enjoying great food, reasonably price drinks and live entertainment. If you haven't been I highly recommend this place. It will be your new favorite neighborhood bar and grill.

Teresa and I tried items from the new menu today and loved everything we had. This was way over Do! I had the tator tots and the new hotdog which I would highly recommend! It was filling! Teresa had the grilled cheese and tomato basil soup that she also loved. We got to meet one of the new chefs and he was explaining some of the new and exciting things on this menu...like the meatloaf. He was kind enough to bring us out a small sample and it was fantastic! Meatloaf with a little spice. Oh, and the service was fantastic as always on Sundays. Rick

Always a great time and the food is easily the best in the area! I would recommend trying something new everytime!

I personally think the place is awesome with great food and I'm not just biased... we have an awesome staff who cares. I should know as eat there everyday.

The best place to be,the new menu is awsome our cajun meat loaf is the best!!!!

Kevin and I have been friends for years. His culinary ideas and food is some of the best I’ve had. We have been to Ajs a few times and it was awesome. Everything we had. Great place, check it out!!

Great food a reasonable price! Kevin did a great job on the menu and continuously adds new things that are great!

Love the new decor, friendly staff and menu! Can't wait to try out their new drink menu!

Had a great lunch Today! Yes, I’m a friend, but this is my first time since new ownership. Really surprised how different it is and the family feel from the staff and the other customers. Great neighborhood restaurant/bar. Food is excellent and so is the service! Take the time to give it a shot... glad we did!

The food is out of this world. The atmosphere is fun and lots of tv’s playing different channels. Definitely a fun place to watch a game. We can’t wait to go back and we plan to try new items/entrees every visit. Can’t imagine a bad choice. Definitely check this place out. Won’t be disappointed.

My favorite place to hang out! The service is great, prices are reasonable, and the food is outstanding.

The food is comparable in taste and quality to more pricey restaurants. They have fun events and bands. Some nights half price appetizers, other nights, great drink specials.

Excellent food and service! Cannot wait to go back. Love that it's so close to our house!
