Iron Skillet Restaurant in Indianapolis

Nice birthday surprise, can't wait to visit again.

I came here with my buddy, who’s a BIG “Little House on the Prairie” fan, so the aura of this restaurant was perfect for him. Going inside of the place felt like a step in time, imagining what a lovely dinner in the 1800’s would be like. Or close. Inside of this old, fancy former farm house was one of the best meals my buddy and I have had. Very charming on the inside. EXCELLENT food. Great waiter. Dinner was an experience. We ate like Kings of the Prairie. Highly recommended.

Our family's experience here was less than stellar. The fried chicken was dry, breaded too thick with bland breading. The mashed potatoes were left on plates as the gravy was a fishy cement. Three of five steaks were under done and one of five was over done... We kept waiting for chef Ramsey to pull off a mask and undergo a renovation! The high point was one of our male servers being exceptional and polite. Some of our servers would walk right past us as we asked for biscuits, refills, etc. Granted we had a group of people, but with family style dining we expected some haste in the prep of our food. We waited a good hour and a half for our entrees... With warm cottage cheese and no biscuits. The restrooms were coated in dust and a lingering smell. There is even a christmas decoration still in their fake potted plant in the restroom... a clear indication of the care and cleanliness. Overall I would not recommend especially at its price point.
