It's my favorite time of the b**r year...Oktoberfest! And while I know nothing says Oktoberfest like heat indexes approaching 100, it still tastes great and we've got them! Revolution, Upland, Guggman Haus, Taxman, Sierra Nevada and Athletic - they're all here for you! Prost! 🍺

Thirteen years ago this morning, I walked into this restaurant as the proprietor for the very first time. My kids were one and three years old on that day. Now they're 14 and the other just turned 16 today. And now they BOTH work here. Talk about life coming full-circle...🥰

Thank you to all of the Broad Ripple residents, business owners and "local legends" (you know who you are) who immediately adopted us as one of their own all those years ago and gave us instant and undeserved credibility from Day One. Thirteen years later, we still can’t thank you enough for your support - then and now.

Thank you to our awesome clientele, without a doubt the greatest customer base I've ever had the pleasure to serve. You don't know this, but when I run help-wanted ads they say this: "If you ever wanted to work in a restaurant where you could hand-pick only the very best of customers, this is the place and these are the guests you'd choose..."

Thank you to our amazing staff, my "Fire Family" as I call them, the ones who truly make it happen day in and day out and who run this place as if their own names were on the front door. Three of them have been here with me since the very beginning and many others have been here for ten years or more.

And thank you most of all to my wife and partner Patricia, the unseen and unsung hero of this restaurant.

Thank you, one and all for the last thirteen years. We're still more appreciative than you'll ever know.

Woof! It’s National Dog Day! And if you didn’t know, their second-favorite thing to do besides this is going to a restaurant with patios! And you DO know which restaurant is their #1 choice, yes?

As is our tradition, we will be CLOSING PROMPTLY at 2:00 today (8/18) following lunch service so that our kitchen crew gets to enjoy the final $2 Tuesday on this beautiful afternoon and evening at The State Fair.

If dining out is on your agenda for later this afternoon and this evening, please DO visit one of the many wonderful locally-owned and operated restaurants in Our Village! See you at The Fair!

Not to be a wet noodle 😉 but Broad Ripple is a mess. Cornell is close to being impassable and parts of it are already blocked off.

We’ve been lucky so far, have no flood water near us and are accessible. Many have not been nearly as lucky and if we can help in any way, please reach out. You’ve all got my cell and if you don’t, DM me.

We will be open today for as long as it makes sense and is safe.

PLEASE be careful out there.

I’m not sure if it justifies my most recent bills but AES just got the power restored. Kudos to that crew!We will reopen...

I’m not sure if it justifies my most recent bills but AES just got the power restored. Kudos to that crew!

We will reopen for business by 4:00. Need to make sure everything is working correctly. And also because I sent everyone from the day shift home 🤣

See you soon!

Update: We’re powerless until AES swaps out this transformer. Thanks for being here too, IFD.

Please call before heading this way. If there’s no answer, that means we still have no power.
