Best Family Style Restaurants in Broad Ripple / Meridian - Kessler

We had a reservation and the host told us, “there were a lot reservations,” we got stuck by the front door and it was freezing where we sat. However, the server did a great job and the food was delicious as usual! It was my parents first time there and they loved it!

Each year our son picks the restaurant for his birthday dinner and this year it was Commission Row. Typically, Tony’s is his favorite however Commission Row’s atmosphere, food and service exceeded expectations. Joachim, our server, started the night with impeccable service, personable, informative and attentive. With seven in our party, a majority of the menu items were selected and enjoyed. All the selections were plentiful and flavorful. Highlights included the wedge salad (one of the best we’ve eaten), filets cooked perfectly, crab cakes loaded with crab, creamy lobster bisque, tender scallops and crispy salmon with a tender inside. Side dishes were served family style with enough left to take home. Dessert highlights included 10-layer chocolate cake, crème brûlée, and gelato trio. We will definitely return and request Joachim for each of our visits. Thank you, Joachim for making our dining experience special.

We've been coming to this restaurant for decades. Today we celebrated a birthday with our grandchildren and while there have been changes made, the service was excellent from our waiter, Bryson. Also we know what we're getting with this restaurant: quality food, plenty of it and all made with care. The kids love the variety and the homey atmosphere makes for a cozy meal. We are still loving the fried chicken, and will enjoy leftovers tomorrow!

First time having lunch at Oakleys. Food as fantastic as always. Prices were surprisingly fair for lunch and for the quality especially. Service was quick and efficient, but especially for holiday time, I’d say lacking in warmth and personality. But as I say, he was very efficient so I’m not going to complain, especially with the quality on the plate he was serving. Always a go to, I’ll now be back for more lunches too.

We had the family style meal for a party of 5. All the food was delicious and we took home 2 bags full of leftovers. Great value!
