Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Broad Ripple / Meridian - Kessler

Gather 22 is exactly what Indy’s dining scene needed! We stopped in for lunch while picking up friends from out of town, and it instantly became a highlight of our day. From the moment we walked in, the space felt warm, welcoming, and full of energy. The attention to detail—from the thoughtful decor to the friendly, attentive service—was incredible. The Byrne’s grilled pizza was hands-down the best we’ve had—perfectly crispy, loaded with flavor, and absolutely unforgettable. If you’re visiting during the Yuletide Tiki Tavern, don’t miss the Hoosier Vice. It’s a fun, festive twist on the classic Miami Vice and completely hits the mark. We will be back many, MANY times.

Food was very flavorful. We had the pretzel bites, which are more like pretzel rolls. They are always delicious. Also, the grilled salmon and the pork tenderloin. Both excellent. Only area for improvement would be to cut back on the garlic in the spinach. It was overwhelming. Waitress was friendly and efficient. Matt the Miller is one of our go-to places when we are in that area.

Whenever I come home from Florida, I try to include Petite Chou in my visits. It is my favorite restaurant in Indy. Antionette was an outstanding server tonight and I shall ask for her in the future. She was attentive, cheerful and efficient. The food was superb as always.

The food ended up surpassing our expectations…2 of us had Creamy Chicken Pasta & 2 of us had Boneless Wings and both were really good! The service was exceptional also!

We always come back again and again, because we could always find something for everyone. Our age group is from age 2 to 74. I love that the back room is so kid friendly. The food is fresh and tasty and the service is always wonderful.
