    Without a doubt our favorite restaurant on the North Side. Sure wish they were on the south side of Indy. The best Patty Melt in the State.

    We went there for the first time before a performance at Clowes Memorial Hall and it was excellent! Food, service and price were admirable.

    It was busy and our server had a large amount of tables, therefore, service was not great. Normally, service is great and food is great. Neither was up to the norm. I still highly recommend this restaurant. Chalk it up to not a great night. Definitely going back!

    First time customers and I was looking for something different from what we typically find at Keystone Crossing. Wonderful “local” restaurant. Joey was our waitress and she was fantastic. She was attentive without being too much. Our meals came out perfectly. We all had steaks. I had my steak “whiskey style” and it was incredible. Several people around us ordered sushi - the sushi rolls looked very appetizing.

    We used to frequent Kona Jacks often until a few years ago. Tonight was our first time trying Daddy Jack's and we were totally impressed. We enjoyed excellent shrimp cocktail. A very tasty sushi roll and filet steak. That was one of the best we've had and especially good for the price. Do yourself a favor and check out Daddy Jack's for a nice dinner with family and friends. Must mention, also, our server was phenomenal. We didn't want for anything. She was very attentive, friendly and efficient. 5 starts.

    The walleye is outstanding. And the alcoholic drinks are filled to the top of the tumbler.
