Natural State Provisions

"Visited this place for the first time on a Saturday night. There was a sign "Please wait to be seated" and we were ignored. So many people were walking by us, not acknowledging us and eventually one of us had to corner a person and ask if we could be seated. There were barely any customers but the service was so terrible. As far as the food, it was good. My only dislike was the chips. They are advertised as a bbq chip but there was no spice and more like a vinegar chip to me. Lastly, they force 20% gratuity on customers transactions. You can add additional, but the charge 20% to your bill no matter.... Never seen that. Overall, this place has potential but they need to work on their customer experience. *The "please wait to be seated" sign was posted near the door on the back of the hostess stand... Why would you have that sign if it's never supposed to be used? Also, if it's self seating, why wouldn't one of the many people who saw us standing there not say that? Just own it."

"It's not often you go into a place, for the first time, then find yourself there 3 times that same week. From the esthetic, to the food, to the amazing staff, this restaurant had me in this state, the first week of 2024. If you haven't been, please go. Order the sweet potato fries with whatever entree your heart desires. They are worth the extra $2. They also have trivia on Tuesdays, Bingo on Wednesdays, and a wing special, which I will be checking out soon. The ambiance alone is worth checking out. There is something to look at in all corners of the bar area. Bonus, its kid friendly!!"

"While I really appreciate the food at Natural State (corn dog, smash burger, cheese curds) I love the cocktails the most! The bartenders always seem to be coming up with new drinks, and they never disappoint. Recently I’ve loved the Ghoulia Roberts (fall inspired drink). This spot is definitely worth checking out! The dog park is an awesome neighborhood perk, and the giant patio outside is perfect for hanging with big groups."

"Heard about this place bc we are avid dog lovers and they have a dog park. We visited for dinner on a Saturday night (in the midst of severe thunderstorm warnings) with the pup. Very nice, clean and well maintained dog park. Quiet spot that Saturday night with about 4-5 parties on the outside patio and 3-4 couples with dogs. We grabbed the pork nachos and cheese curds to snack on and tried a few of their beers on tap. Super quick service, food was ready within 15 min of ordering, and it was a pleasant experience! The food was delicious and beer was cold and good. Our pup caught some tennis balls in the park for a bit and we enjoyed the quiet atmosphere of the Indy neighborhood. We were already talking about coming back with some other dog lover friends of ours!"

"Natural State Provisions is a relatively new addition to Indy, and I hadn’t even known about it at first. I got to make a visit recently so here’s how it went. We arrived at around 6 PM on a Sunday and they were not too busy, so there were tables available. Just so you know, you have to order your food and stuff at the bar since the kitchen side I believe is closed. We got pretzels as an appetizer and they were really good! I got the Chicken Sandwich with waffle fries as my entree. And you’re probably curious to know, what were my thoughts? Honestly, it was just ok. There appeared to be more breading than actual chicken meat and the breading was very crunchy and crumbled really easily. Wasn’t a big fan of that. The waffle fries though were really crispy and their house sauce was also awesome! Overall, not a bad joint! If you’re in it for classic American food and a dog friendly setting, this might do it for you! I’ll maybe pay another visit here soon."
