About

The Eagle on Mass Ave brings Nashville-style hot chicken and a backyard-party vibe to the heart of Indianapolis's most vibrant arts corridor. This lively restaurant and bar is a favorite among families who want good food, cold drinks, and room for kids to have fun — all in one place. The outdoor patio features oversized lawn games like Jenga and cornhole, giving little ones a place to burn energy while grown-ups relax with a meal.

The menu centers on crispy, hand-breaded chicken tenders and sandwiches in varying heat levels, from mild to fiery. A simple kids menu ensures even the pickiest eaters walk away happy, with familiar options at approachable prices. Sides like mac and cheese, coleslaw, and waffle fries round out the spread.

The space inside is casual and energetic with communal seating that welcomes larger groups and families alike.

Situated on Massachusetts Avenue, The Eagle is steps away from some of Indianapolis's best boutique shopping, street art, and entertainment. After lunch or dinner, families can stroll the avenue, pop into galleries, or catch a performance at one of the nearby theaters. Whether you are heading out for a quick weeknight bite or a leisurely weekend outing, The Eagle delivers a reliably fun and filling experience for the whole family.
