PATIO IS FOR WALK IN ONLY. RESERVATIONS ARE FOR INSIDE DINING.

Fried Chicken: all natural, secret brine and breading, and spicy honey. We start with cage free, free roaming, all natural chicken. It’s brined, dredged, then dropped into custom-built fryers. Its got a little kick and is served with our house made hot honey. Our sides are modern takes on down-home favorites. Made in house every day.The lively atmosphere is relaxed and upbeat — driven by a blues heavy soundtrack.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Eagle in Indianapolis is renowned for its "delicious" fried chicken and "amazing" shrimp & grits. Guests appreciate the vibrant atmosphere and "excellent service," though some mention it can get loud or dark. Outdoor seating on Mass Ave is a highlight. Despite occasional service delays, it's a consistent crowd-pleaser.

    Difficult parking but that's to be expected on Mass Ave. I could barely get inside the door because of all the delivery drivers blocking the entrance waiting for their orders. They were holding the door open which made it very cold inside the restaurant. It is December afterall. So I was chilly during my entire meal. The place has very little charm and no ambiance. The succotash was excellent. It would have been better if it had been hot. The greens were pretty good, although collards are just not my favorite. These were seasoned well. I was disappointed in the chicken. After all these years of hearing how great the chicken at the Eagle is..it's really nothing special. I ordered the five legs. They were served lukewarm and not crispy. Texture was ok. They weren't dry so cooked well but they tasted a little gamey actually. They were not very well seasoned. Sides to go are smaller than portions received at u dine in. We dined in and ordered a carryout. Large portions of greens and succotash. I would give this place another try but wouldn't make a special trip. Service was on point and friendly. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it ....meh.

    Great birthday at The Eagle. Must be a new chef as they have backed off of everything being so spicy and hot. Food tasted great today!

    We had a reservation and the host told us, “there were a lot reservations,” we got stuck by the front door and it was freezing where we sat. However, the server did a great job and the food was delicious as usual! It was my parents first time there and they loved it!
