About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for creative cocktails
Good for special occasions

After years of working Downtown Indianapolis, Executive Chef/Owner Jake Burgess decided to come home and open an establishment that delivered the style of service and quality of food he had become accustomed to. FoxGardin is tucked away on quaint Main Street in Fortville.

Minutes to Geist, Fishers, Klipsch Music Center, and I-69, and only 25-30 from downtown Indy, FoxGardin Kitchen & Ale is a perfect spot to sneak away, while still being close to everything!

***FoxGardin Kitchen & Ale is a 21+ establishment. ***

Ask not to sit upstairs. The bartenders and wait staff spent most of their time taking care of regulars. Upstairs was only half full so they weren’t overly busy. I ask for a wine list, then had to go to bar 10-15 minutes later to have our waiter order the wine because they forgot which happened 4 times throughout the night. The wine came after our food was delivered and the waiter had no clue. The noise seemed to come from mostly regulars and staff being extremely loud so we had to yell at our 4 top to hear each other. Again, the upstairs was only half full and we’re all in our 40’s trying to have a fun night. We are not quite people. I won’t be going back here again.

Bone Marrow Fries is a must get and has to be finished before you leave. Even if the entries need to be boxed up for home......
