Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails

After years of working Downtown Indianapolis, Executive Chef/Owner Jake Burgess decided to come home and open an establishment that delivered the style of service and quality of food he had become accustomed to. FoxGardin is tucked away on quaint Main Street in Fortville.

Minutes to Geist, Fishers, Klipsch Music Center, and I-69, and only 25-30 from downtown Indy, FoxGardin Kitchen & Ale is a perfect spot to sneak away, while still being close to everything!

***FoxGardin Kitchen & Ale is a 21+ establishment. ***

It was a surprise birthday dinner and we were sat right by the kitchen. I thought they were going to put us out on the patio with the fire table. I didn’t know I needed to specify where we would have preferred we sat… our server (Chris) was absolutely amazing and aided in our day! We did notice the rude looks from the people around us but we paid no attention. The food was absolutely amazing and Chris was attentive! He made the night even better!
