moe & johnny's

poor service. good breakfast, extremely poor service. ended up getting buffet, as it took 15 minutes to be recognized by an employee. we were passed by four different waitresses and even when waving, we were greet with a "what?". my boyfriend would have had atleast three plates of food from the buffet if i had waited on a menu and food service. very poor, no wonder folks are eating brunch on sundays at surrounding establishments.

had the asian shrimp wraps here for lunch. pretty tasty.

had a good lunch.. veggie burger was tasty. cant wait to check this place out for dinner.

ate here for lunch today. it was our first visit. the hubs had mean mac & cheese. it was spicy and flavorful, but a little dry; not creamy enough.
i had the house salad and a bowl of lemon chicken artichoke soup. the homemade ranch dressing was great and it came with a delicious hunk of homemade bread. a good portion of the lettuce was rusty and the huge cucumber slice had obviously ben sitt no out for a good while. the soup had good flavor but the "chicken" that was in it was deplorable. it was really more like shreds of chicken jerky. i guess it was a good thing there wasn't much chicken in it. my friend had a bowl and thought the same thing. he also had the chicken tenders and fries. the fries were okay but the chicken was very over cooked, even burnt in some places.
his spouse had the sweet and sour chicken (name of that ???) and her chicken was also over done. she took most of hers home.
to top of bad to mediocre food, the service was terrible! they were not overly busy, either. a group of 9 came in after us, was seated and served and getting up to leave about the same moment that was got our check. (after having our table cleared, we waited about 20 minutes before finally asking for the check.)
we won't go back. too many other options without the problems.

another broadripple staple! this place is great for food, drinks, sports and fun. never had a bad meal or service there. patio is covered and dog friendly!! chicken tenders and fries entrée was enough for three people in my opinion. we liked everything on the app sampler and excited to try their house smoked wings on the next visit. plenty of tvs for sports, pool tables and two video games.

had lunch here for the first time today and was very pleased. i had the breaded tenderloin with fries and ranch. my friend had the same with onion rings. my other friend had the buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. we each enjoyed our meals. the tenderloin is one of the best in the state. the fries and onion rings were good. my friend really enjoyed the buffalo chicken sandwich. to top it off, the service was great. i look forward to trying other things on the menu in the future.

i came here with friends on a saturday for brunch and loved it. lots of good food for a cheap price. however, i came here on a friday and was very disappointed. slow service to the point that we ordered two beers every time we finally got ahold of our waitress. it seemed like they should hire a couple more waitstaff. also, we were told the beers were $3 but when we got our check we were charged $4 a beer. when we asked, the waitress was rude and defensive. i was fairly annoyed when i left.

coffee. good

food decent, enjoyed the history. we ate here saturday in the afternoon and the service was pretty slow, and they were not all that busy. i ordered the veggie wrap and to me it needed more seasonings. i really did enjoy the roasted red potatoes and my friend enjoyed his meal. we both are not from indianapolis, so we did enjoy looking at the interesting photos, etc. on the wall and the various rooms. i will say that the bathroom was bad - really bad. i understand this is also a bar, but i pretty much had to "clean" to even wash my hands...

not the forest salad of my youth. information from the waitress that the avocadoes came precut in bags should have warned me. the lettuce in the salad was okay, but clearly something from a bag, with those sort of watery but dry carrot bits and a slightly off flavor. the mushrooms, however, were almost compost: black and slimy and clearly many days old. the forest salad of my youth, when cornerstone started as a restaurant, was something pleasant. this was actually worse than mcdonalds, by virtue of the old mushrooms. m&j isn't the only restaurant resorting to pre-prepared vegetables, but it was a disappointment. won't go back except for the beer.

this is a different sort of review. i went here with my eldest son, for lunch. i am never sure why i don’t write about some joints that i go to. this is a perfectly fine place. clean and respectable; with good food. i know i have eaten here a few times; pre- blog days. and pat and i have been there a couple of times for beers. so today i write. adam ( my first-born ) likes to eat and cook he just isn’t crazy about it. so our conversation covered my grand daughters and his work. he has a real job. he has nothing to do with food and beverage. he ordered a pulled pork sandwich with bbq sauce . all he volunteered was that he liked it. he added the lettuce and tomato but removed the onion and pickle. so the pork sandwich has my kid’s approval.  i ordered an all american cheese burger. but first i determined it was indeed charbroiled and i could  get it mid-rare. i added cheddar and got the whole garden. usually i enjoy my burgers the same way i enjoy my irish whisky; neat. this was a fine a

worst bar i've been to in a decade. slow service and this place is freezing cold, i may as well be watching games from the parking lot.

i have eaten here many times, and can't remember ever having a bad meal, even on their all-you-can eat buffet lines. it is actually 3 different places all connected. the sports bar with mega tv's, video games, etc; the quieter restaurant; and cornerstone coffee house, which will serve you anything on the menu. "just a great place", is what all the newbies i take there say.

this is one of the places that makes the neighborhood what it is - cozy. the food is good, not great. the prices are reasonable. $2.50 pints on thursdays, the best coffee bean in indy - black thunder - and a friendly, stable staff. it's everything it should be.

chance worth taking. when in town for the weekend we wanted to go to yat's but after arriving we found it crowded and not good for our kids. so we took a chance and walked across the street to moe & johnny's...and it was a chance worth taking! our waitress was wonderful and the menu was great. we got the gorgonzola pasta, a 10 inch pizza and the sampler platter and all shared. the food was awesome and was enjoyed but all even our 4 & 6 year old had no complaints and loved all the food. we would definitly go back to this place when in indy.

not a good experience. all around bad experience. as soon as we were seated, we were asked for our drink orders. however, no one had brought us a menu that showed any drinks, just a little 3 x 7 card with some sandwich choices on it. after stalling with an order for water, i looked up the full menu on my iphone. when the waitress came back, she asked for our order. my wife ordered the veggie burger, and my sons had the chicken fingers. i accidentally said "chicken" sandwich, but caught myself and said "i mean fish." the waitress acknowledged that i changed my order to fish, but wasn't writing anything down. i knew that was a bad sign. my wife and i also ordered drinks using the menu on my iphone.

her beer arrived several minutes before mine. i assumed that was because her's was a wheat bear and mine was a guinness and they were doing a proper long pour. but when my guinness arrived several minutes later, it had a thin head and was still cascading. long wait for a badly poured guinness.

while waiting for the food, i stepped away from the table to use the restroom. it was a disgrace. someone had missed the toilet with a very messy bowel movement. and that had long since dried, meaning no one had bothered cleaning the mess for hours. that was a horror show.

i got back to the table and while telling my wife to beware the restroom (there was only the one unisex restroom that i could find) our food arrived. obviously i wound up with a chicken sandwich. when the woman who brought the food asked who had the grilled chicken, i explained that i had ordered the fish. her response was "we don't grill fish." since i never said anything about "grilled" i felt that was out of line. but whatever. i explained that i preferred it not be grilled, and i had definitely ordered fish.

my wife and sons started working on their food, but in reaching for the ketchup for my boys, my wife accidentally spilled my still nearly full guinness, which drained everywhere. a passing busser offered us a towel, but that was the extent of the waitstaff's response to that.

when our waitress finally got back to us, she asked how everything was. i told her i'd gotten the wrong thing but apparently my correct order was coming out. she saw my empty glass and asked if i wanted to order another beer. right next to my empty glass was still a beer soaked towel and the remnants of a puddle on the concrete (we were outside). i said "not one i have to pay for." and she just gave me a weird look. it's not a requirement, but most places i've been, full spilled drinks are replaced with complimentary ones.

when my fish sandwich arrived after all that, it was a disappointment--a small cod fillet not much bigger than a fish finger on a full-size hamburger bun. there was so much more bun than fish, it was comical.

we ate and paid in a hurry after that and got out of there. it's not a place we plan to ever go back to.
