I've been patronizing this place for years. Good food and usually good service. Had a terrible experience with the server Diana who became very rude and confrontational because we accidentally bumped into each other. To the point where another staff had to come remove her from my space. I'm very disappointed. I wont be returning. More

Waitress was very rude and hardly spoke two words to us. Never asked us how our food was and we were very polite and would say thank you when she dropped off food and drinks. She wouldn’t say anything back and would just walk away. She would keep walking by but would never stop unless we waved her down. Will not be coming back. More

The people are friendly, the environment is inviting, the ambiance is interesting, and don't get me started on the food. The was food was phenomenal, probably the best blackened salmon I've ever had. If you're looking for a low key spot with amazing food and an interesting vibe, this is the place!

I had the fish submarine for lunch. It is large. It is dressed with lettuce, tomatoes and onion. My fish was over fried but still good. I got the kettle chips as a side. I must have got the "bottom of the barrel" because I just received a bunch of broken pieces. Bartender was very attentive. More

Love the atmosphere. Don't let the outside fool you, the interior is pretty neat. Nice welcoming and chill environment to meet with good friends. Music is nostalgic. Food is good and traditional and fits the theme. The clam chowder is very tasty. The portion size was pretty good as well. More

  • Megan Siegler

Service was AWFUL!!!!!!! We only got one round of drinks...tried to order a second waited over 30 minutes to not get them and ask for our check which also took 30 minutes to get. The food came to the table cold, nachos soggy. Expensive place to go if everything is slow and nasty. More

  • Dennis Lindley

My home away from home. I dine here multiple times a week. The food is excellent, and reasonably priced for the quality. It can get a little short on seating if there is a local team with a televised game. FYI, it is 18 and older for service which is why I enjoy dining there. More

  • Thom Heeter

It's easy to become a regular at the Boathouse. The owner and all the staff are super people who take time to welcome and chat a little with you even when things are busy. Have liked everything I've ordered there with the Italian beef sandwich as my favorite More

  • Sarah Rossier

Best cocktails and pub grub on the west side! Great meeting point for Marion County and Hendricks County dwellers right in the heart of Eagle Creek neighborhood. It is a 21+ establishment. Enjoy great conversation, Colts & Pacer games, and

  • Chance Broomfield

I’ve been to this place for years and it was good at first until the bold guy came from around the bar and got in my face yelling at me and saying the manager was not there but then I see Dianna there and he chases me to her. Dianna had to

  • Miriam Hernandez

It’s a good place if you’re looking for something casual . The food is good and they serve it hot with cold beers !after a long day today me and my fiancé came here for drinks . The food was good and the server was pleasant and attentive .

  • Bradley Rodell

The server just stopped checking on us. Seemed like she was ready for us to go so she could get new customers. We werent even done. This has happened 3 to 4 other times with the same server. Love.this spot but she is bad for business. More

  • Isaac Jameson

Had a great lunch experience here. Server was nice, everything came out extremely fast. Potato boats (skins) were very good, the lettuce was a nice touch. Had the gyro sandwich and the standard kettle chips side. Being one of my favorite

  • Renee Goetting

Food looked delicious but can't say because we had our 18 month old with us. We got there at 5:30 pm on a Saturday and we're told we couldn't eat there because it was 18 and older. Nowhere on the website did it say it was an 18 and older

  • Jessica Ziller

We are on our way down from the suburbs of Chicago, IL to Nashville, TN. My husband and I always like to find non-chain restaurants along the way to stop for food. We look at reviews before we plan our stop and this restaurant received

  • Charles Snyder

Sorry but this place was not to my expectations. Should have read more and looked at the pictures. Passing through Indy did a quick search for restaurants in NW corner of Indy. Saw Boathouse Grill great a good seafood restaurant. Nope.

  • Patrick Bradford

I used to love ordering some Boathouse food and talking to the staff when picking up. But since the staff has decided not to answer the phone anymore, I no longer eat there. It's foolish that I have to call 4 times before someone will

  • GS S

Was not what we expected when we found this place in a strip mall setting. The inside is full of items that make it a really unique pub. Our server who was the bartender was awesome. The chili is 5 star chili, some of the best I have

  • Mark GARZA

So they have some very good food here. I love there bacon wrapped filet, and the italian beef. The gyro shown here was just ok. Also, quality craft beers on tap along with liquor specials make this the place to go in the neighborhood.

  • Skye Gale Fisher

I noticed this a lot here in Indianapolis.... Why when you look at the restaurants menus online the prices are cheaper vs when you go to the restaurant the prices are more expensive? Is it called Bait and Switch? Is that Legal?

  • Jeremy Arant

Great place! It's definitely an overlooked gem! The fish and chips were awesome, and the Bait Strips (clams) were great! Friendly staff and warm atmosphere. It's a great place to come grab a drink and watch the game! More

  • Del Ellis (Brotha Ashykneez)

First time here! Was down at @tressmehbb17 Tress Me Hair salon needed a bite. Got chicken fingers. Juicy chicken hot fries. Good food! One of the patrons bought me a bowl of Reuben Soup. #gratitude #hospitality #onelove

  • Laura Lechner

Doesn't look fancy, but that's ok. At least there was lots of parking! Cindy was a great server, very knowledgeable and efficient. She gave good recommendations, too! The Bloody Mary was very good, thanks for that!

  • Diane Ellis

We enjoyed the clam chowder. Thick and creamy with plenty of clams. Fish and Chips were lightly battered and cooked just right. The Gyro had good thinly sliced meat and plenty of lettuce and tomato.

  • William Reaves

The food was good the hostess / waitress did make great recommendations the people were friendly. The music was a tad bit too loud but once you got your food you forgot all about the music. More

  • Media Manley

The daytime bartenders are great! When our men's club shows up they are very accommodating. It's always fun. It's better than the other place. How about doing something for St. Patrick's week?
