Restaurant Review: Pat Flynn's Pub, Indianapolis, IN

Leo, Jay, Sue and Raemie at Pat Flynn's
Last month, Leo and I took the kids to Pat Flynn's Pub (5198 Allisonville Road) for lunch. While the parking is somewhat limited and we didn't feel totally welcome when we first walked in, once we were seated at our table, the service was impeccable and the food was delicious. The atmosphere of Pat's is a bit more casual than I usually like. Unless there's a big sporting event or a good reason, I typically eschew places that have a lot of TVs. If I want to watch TV when I dine, I can do that at home. That said, Pat Flynn's is set up for families, with ample TVs and a game room in the back. 

Hands down, the food is great. I had the fish and chips and everything was cooked to perfection. The fish batter had an ingredient that I couldn't quite identify - something that reminded me of sweeter dishes (maybe nutmeg?) and didn't quite belong. However, it was still the best fish and chips I've had to date in Indy (if you know of a fantastic chippie in town, do let me know!) Jay and Leo shared a plate of wings and Raemie ordered chicken fingers (I don't actually know if the menu calls them that, but that's what the kids call chicken strips that have been fried). Based on the commentary from the family, I can only conclude that their meals were just as delicious. The portions were ample and service was attentive and fast.

If you're looking for a romantic evening out with sophisticated fare, Pat Flynn's isn't the place to go. But if you're looking for an inexpensive, yummy, family lunch or dinner and you want great food, you really can't miss with Pat's.
