    Our server Abby was excellent. On a very busy night she made sure she made our experience a good one. The food was delicious. The atmosphere old school.

    It was our first visit to Daddy Jack's and we were pleased when we were seated in a small room off the main dining area, where it was much quieter. The food and the service was great. All in all a nice dining experience.

    They're clam chowder is some of the best around. Also had the waffle sweet potato fries that were excellent. Madison, our server was outstanding, helping us navigate the daily specials, etc. The only negative comment I'll make is it was a bit too noisy for me.

    I've been a devotee of Daddy Jack's since they opened MANY years ago. The fact that Jim has been able to maintain the quality of food and service for all those years is a testament to his leadership and his hiring of top notch folks. We sat there eating our dinner and named several similar restaurants we'd passed in order to arrive at Daddy Jacks. They're all good and we on occasion eat at them. But Daddy Jack's is better. It's tough to make a food selection because everything is so good. We're thrilled that the next generation is joining the team because we sure want to be able to enjoy Daddy Jacks for MANY years to come!!!

    Salmon was perfectly done. Sushi was high quality. Waitress was charming. Drinks were heavy pour.Dark and dated interior, but clean and well maintained.

    A classic Indy place to dine! We had a group of 4 having a chance to catch up and enjoy dinner. Our wait staff didn’t rush us - she did a great job of taking our order and letting us talk and enjoy some wine. Love the food choices from a tenderloin, steak sandwich. Ceasar salad with salmon and grilled chicken. All was great and we will be back.
