    Stopped by the Bucket on a Tuesday evening for happy hour, and it did not disappoint. The place was lively but never felt overcrowded or too noisy. The bartenders (Josh and Brandon) were awesome: engaging, attentive, and popular with the regulars, as they seemed to know most everyone at the bar by name. I ordered the pepperoni and pepper pizza, whoa - it was incredible. Perfectly thin, crispy crust, it exceeded my expectations and easily landed in my top 10 thin-crust pizzas - possibly even my top five. The other dishes coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. Will definitely be dropping in for dinner soon. The atmosphere was just what we were looking for—fun, welcoming, and full of energy without being overwhelming. It’s safe to say we’ll be back soon for another round of great food and drinks!

    The Salmon is AMAZING! Such a perfect combination of flavors! Don’t skip the friend green tomato appetizer- it is special! As always the fried chicken and spare ribs are insane! The only thing I would change would be lower lighting - the ambiance could use it -

    Loved our experience! This was my third time and won’t be my last. The parmesan chicken always has me wanting to lick my plate. The rigatoni vodka pasta is also a winner. My boyfriend highly recommends the carrot cake, just not up my alley. Feels like you can’t miss with whatever you order!

    What great menu choices! Walleye pike filets served on terrific clam chowder for one of us, smoked turkey leg meat and dumplings in delicious sauce for the other. The Brussels sprout salad was lovely, as was another with Burrata cheese and roasted beets and winter squash. Late Harvest Kitchen is simply one of the best restaurants in Indianapolis.
