Bert & Den's Grille — Restaurant in Indianapolis

This is where you go for made from scratch bar food. You got to get the burger for dinner. It's thick, it's not frozen, and it's not smashed on the grill. If you know, you know. My boy on the grill in the evening knows how to cook a burger with the right blend of meat and the right time in the heat. It's scary, simple yet perfect.

I have been there for lunch, and it unfortunately didn't live up to the same standards as the evening time burgers, so I had to deduct a star for consistency. That being said, this is my go-to place for affordable made from scratch (for the most part) bar food. I have not tried their breakfast yet, but It looks good from what I have seen.

For the size of the bar, they honestly have a decent selection of beer.

My service has always been pretty quick. The atmosphere for sure seems like it's for the regulars, but the wait staff has been welcoming each time. If I could get them to keep some bottled waters on hand, i would be back a lot more frequently. I know they don't have a lot of space to work with but they don't go bad and the markup on water is better then anything else they sell so I think it would be a good business decision but what do I know. ;)

Look at that burger --

P.s. don't sleep on the chips either. They were great. I still can't figure out...

Just got shouted out of the establishment because the waitress was demanding to "see my ID" even though all I was ordering was a hamburger and soda.

The way she handled the situtation was incredibly unprofessional and irritated me quite a bit.

She went on some sob story about how she was fined for serving someone under 21 alcohol and that it was law she check my ID despite me not ordering anything remotely alocoholic.

All the info I could find upon writing this review suggests she has no idea how to do her job. The Indiana State Excise Police page on IN.gov indicates, and I quote, "Indiana law requires permittees and their employees to check identification of any person under the age of 40 when conducting carryout sales. While there is no similar ID requirement law for on-premise consumption, the Excise Police encourage requiring identification from anyone appearing under 26 years of age when making sales for on-premise consumption."

It seems there isn't a mandatory requirement to card at all. So why card someone who isn't even ordering alcohol? This place "grilles" you...

Came in for a date night with the boyfriend both of us asked for strong drinks it’s been a stressful week.. my boyfriend orders crown apple on the rocks... both of our drink were basically water. After finishing our drinks and waiting for the server to return to take our order we decided with there only being one other table just to leave due to poor service. At cash out she asked for my order and I simply said thet frankly we were both unhappy with our drink and decided just to leave. Well another server though she should run her mouth... very messed up place to go. I wouldn’t recommend them to someone I wanted to get food poisoning . None the less a normal hard...
