Fire by the Monon★

The “fire” refers to a smoker that prepares this eatery’s broad meat-centric menu, but it could just as easily describe its reputation as a prime hangout just off Broad Ripple’s beaten path. A strong cocktail list complements the scenic front patios, where regulars devour dirty macaroni and cheese—a big bowl with kicky pulled pork mixed in—along with massive flatbreads, grilled-fish tacos, steaks, sandwiches, and stout onion rings. Lunch and dinner daily.
