Reviews For The Roost Nora

This place has delicious breakfast items for reasonable prices. Most of the food offerings here are pretty typical, but I'd recommend you get the hash brown casserole or the cornbread casserole as a side for a little something different. The chicken and waffles come with a delicious honey butter on them. So make sure to get it on the side if that's not your jam. We were also able to get fruit as a side for the kids.

This place is so cozy! Came here after our tornado scare. Everyone was so nice. The lattes, breakfast burrito, French toast, pancakes and fruit were all good.

Very nice option for breakfast, with a more upscale neighborhood bar vibe. Service was very friendly and our food was prepared very quickly. I had the breaded pork eggs Benedict, a traditional favorite with an Indiana twist. It tasted great and it was very filling. There are many drink options in the menu but I opted for a traditional white chocolate mocha, which was fine. Lots of parking availabe, definitely a good place for breakfast.

Friendly staff & delicious food & cocktails. I ordered a twist on the eggs Benedict that had Nashville chicken tenders & it's such a great combo. The huevos divorce were also delicious.

We waited for about 10 minutes which is excellent for Taylor Swift weekend because every restaurant in Indianapolis is booked. When we first came in they told us it would be like 30 minutes, but they moved really quick. Our servers name is Jessica. She's very polite and knowledgeable and knows the menu very well. Atmosphere is upbeat positive very colorful and fun. Highly suggested restaurant check it out if you're in Indy Nora area

2nd time here. Delicious! Daughter liked it too. Biscuits and Gravy are sooooo good! Will return! 5/4/24Edit: I just keep coming back. It's my new fave breakfast joint. Have had Maria as our server twice now. She can light up a room with that smile. Her attentive service matches her positive energy. Got something new today: Oaxaca Skillet oh my! Soooo good!

I went for breakfast with a buddy. The server was very kind and helpful. The skillet breakfast meal was very good. The cold brew was great, the coffee cake was good, but the slice seemed small for the price tag. This is a great place to grab breakfast overall!

One of our favorite places for breakfast after a run! Food is always hot and usually service is pretty quick! Can feel a touch crowded at busy times but overall great place
