This spring, the beloved spot will transition into Arlene’s, a meat-and-three restaurant named for chef Jonathan Brooks’ mother.

A big name in seafood is coming to the Meridian-Kessler neighborhood. Slapfish, the California-based seafood chain whose operations are now almost entirely located in the Hoosier State, plans to open its fifth Indiana location this fall at 115 E. 49th St. Franchisees Mark and Lauren Weghorst earlier this month signed a lease for the 2,000 square-foot venue that housed Café Patachou sister restaurant Apocalypse Burger from 2020-2024, according to a news release. The restaurant space features 60 indoor seats and another 40 on its patio during warmer months and sits across the street from locations of Sullivan Hardware and Garden and Café Patachou . The Weghorsts plan to open the new Slapfish in the fall following renovations this spring. The Meridian-Kessler outpost will be the Weghorsts' fifth Slapfish location. The first franchise opened in Noblesville in 2019. A year later the Mass Ave Slapfish followed, then one in Fishers in 2023 and another in Carmel's Market District in December. The casual eatery specializes in lobster rolls, fish tacos and various offerings in the ever in-demand "bowl" category popular during work lunches. In the news release, Mark Weghorst expressed his excitement at opening his first Indiana Slapfish close to a residential

This Indiana “Mom-and-Pop” Joint Is Hiding Some Of The State’s Best Carolina-Style BBQ

I was not expecting much when I first heard about a BBQ spot in McCordsville, Indiana. A small town, a depot street address, and a name I had never come across before did not exactly scream “destination meal.” But the moment the smell of slow-smoked meat hit me in the parking lot, I knew something special was happening inside.

Clayton’s Country Bar Comes To Downtown Indy

A MASSIVE BLACK cowboy hat trimmed in glowing bulbs lights up the corner of downtown’s Maryland and South Meridian streets, signaling that Indianapolis has a new spot to pull up a chair and grab a PBR tallboy. Clayton’s Country Bar—set inside the historic Morrison Opera House building that housed Hard Rock Cafe from 1999 to 2019—looks and feels like a slice of Nashville’s glittering Broadway Street (aka the Honky Tonk Highway). Created by Bedford, Indiana-born country singer Clayton Anderson, the bar opened in September, leaning hard into its raw and rootsy charm. License plates line the walls, live music fills the room most nights, and the vibe is unapologetically twangy.
