1. The Garden Table

Mass Ave and Broad Ripple locations

“I went with the Nance the Ham Lady. The pepper jelly makes this sandwich. Messy? Yes. Delicious? Most definitely. The sunny side egg makes it messy but please don't eat it open face. You want all of the flavors to meld.” -Yelper Lesley W

2. Milktooth

Fletcher Place

“The food was wonderful--we ordered the fruity dutch baby of the moment, grits, and sorghum glazed BACON--but sitting at the bar really elevated the experience. I wouldn't have it any other way.” -Yelper Cecelia N

3. Cafe Patachou

(Multiple locations)

“Raves: cinnamon toast is a must-try-before-you-die, vegan omelette (even if you aren't vegan), french hot chocolate, 21+ check out their cocktails: it's not brunch without em'.” -Yelper Kate O.

4. Erika’s Place

Westfield

“5 star breakfast. They offer a basic breakfast but they do it right and for that, it's 5 stars. Plus, I love that it's local. I ordered the meat and cheese omelet (sausage and feta - my favorite combination!). It comes with hash browns on the side and I ordered mine well done.” -Yelper Danny M

5. Open Society

Meridian Kessler

“This five is so well deserved, because the brunch I had here was one of the best brunches I have ever had. We ordered the Bisteca (basically a benedict with a filet) and then Huevos Y Frijoles (rice and beans with poached egg and hash). The steak was like butter, and it was topped with a luscious and perfectly poached egg.” -Yelper Samantha A

6. Delicia

SoBro​

“Lots of options for brunch along with a full bar. I ordered the cornmeal thyme biscuits served with a side of potatoes, there is a lot of kick in the gravy and it's very filling.” -Yelper Jon C

7. Lincoln Square Pancake House

(Multiple locations)

“My favorite pancake spot in Indy! They're sweet, fluffy, and barely need any syrup. Also very noteworthy: perfectly cooked bacon (not too chewy, not too crunchy) and surprisingly good sweet tea.” -Yelper Amara R

8. Northside Kitchenette

Broad Ripple

“The service was excellent, the waitress was super observant, noticed as soon as we were finished and brought us our check. I had the Morning Kicker omelette, the horseradish sour cream was excellent! The omelettes are GIANT, like two people can share one.” -Yelper Kelsi M
