Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails

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. ***

My husband and I both had the tenderloin. We both had some gristle in our sandwich. The fries were good! That was our first visit, and we drove from an hour away just to eat there. I would go back if I was in the area, but I probably won't make a special trip.

Food, drinks and service were excellent. I said 4 stars for value because it was pricey to add steak to my salad and I just got 2 little bits of steak. I thought for the price, it should have been more. A large cut, properly cooked and sliced and placed on the salad would have been a better value and experience to eat. Everything else was good!
