Josh BakerFebruary 21, 2016Anything on the menu is great. Love the bread I always get the red beans and rice but the girlfriend is always getting something different. She is yet to complain about anything she orders.
Lauren TFebruary 16, 2014Definitely one of THE BEST RESTAURANTS IN INDY! I get white chicken chili usually, but the drunk chicken is AMAZING. Great people and great food, very cozy small business feel.- John SchlagenhaufSeptember 7, 2011Chili cheese etoufee and the white chicken chili always delish. Don't forget mo bread! Also say hi to Joe Vuscovich the owner of all the Yats he's almost always at the north college location!
- Sarah McCarthyFebruary 4, 2017Drunken Chicken and Jambalaya were awesome! The food got to our table before we did. 11/10 will need a to go box.
- Jason RitchieDecember 2, 2016The chili cheese etoufee and cookies are the best! B&B is a close second
Jayne WilliamsAugust 7, 2014Chili cheese étouffée is out of this world.. But everything here is good. Also, this is easily the best of all Yats locations.
Sasha GMarch 30, 2014Chili Cheese Étouffée was amazing. They'll let you try samples for free. Always get MORE BREAD. definitely worth it.
Justin ThorpDecember 6, 2014Great great creole food. Just ask the guy at the counter what he'd recommend and you can't go wrong.
Mecca JensenJanuary 17, 2015This location has such great style, fabulous food, fun environment! Order extra bread, it's so worth it.
Thomas BeckmanMarch 7, 2020Drunken chicken is great... ask for double bread. Love this place - it’s my go-to place for lunch/dinner.
There is no better place in town for great food. Newbies - try the RedBeans-n-smoked sausage. $4 for a half-order (PLENTY of food) and you're good to go!- Everything at Yats! is great. You really can't go wrong, unless you're a vegan/vegetarian and order meat.
DustinMay 10, 2014Just randomly stopped in here. The Chili Cheese is fantastic. The people are even better. I'll be back for sure!- Matt KubalFebruary 20, 2014I always order a half with extra bread. Check out the bottles of sauces on the counter next to the register. Cash only.
The chili cheese etouffee is always delicious. Large portions and inexpensive!! Cash only, though!
Versha SharmaAugust 7, 2012I'm from Louisiana and I'm surprised by how good this is!! Definitely get the chili cheese crawfish étouffée.
Joseph ChristensenSeptember 19, 2014Everything is amazing. Just order whatever. You will love it all.
Everything. Everything is good here. Their garlic bread is phenomenal.- First-timers and kids: red beans-n-rice is always a HUGE hit! Everything here is good, some of it is GREAT!
- Etoufee chili cheese with crawfish and the veggie B&B are my go-to's
Best value in town. Try the chili cheese etoufee with crawfish.
Unheeded ProphetessApril 12, 2010Check the menus online to see which Yats has your favorite dish. I recommed the macque choux, pazole stew, and you never go wrong with chili cheese etoufee. Read more- I could eat the spinach and mushroom etouffee for every meal for the rest of my life.
The half-n-half maximizes your experience, since portions are generous.
Gregory GoodinApril 6, 2011Simple the best place and value for lunch in Indy. The people that work there are amazing and treat you like a king.
Nick ReithSeptember 18, 2011This place is the bomb. Super good food at the best price in town. Bring cash!
MujtabaSeptember 3, 2011Chili Cheese is always an excellent choice. Don't forget to try the deserts :)
Rob JenkinsMarch 16, 2012This place is amazing. You should definitely try the chili cheese eetouffe with crawfish
- There really isn't a bad item on the menu! Peanut butter pie is the bomb!!!!
Gotta get Chili Cheese Étouffée and Chipotle Alexio with extra bread... Can't beat it
Chili Cheese Etouffee and that delicious bread is a must!!! So basically what everyone else said down there...
RandyAugust 8, 2010Can't go wrong with Jambalaya or the Maque Choux. Next on my 'to try' list is the Gumbo...lol
Order the 1/2 & 1/2 of Chili Cheese Etouffee & Maque Choux w/ Chicken. THEN, see if you can stop from coming back weekly. Read more
Best service, food, price and music of any restaurant in Indy. New Orleans is jealous.
Vergie TylerFebruary 23, 2013Cash only!! Be prepared (even though they are nice enough to give I.O.U's).
