This place is a total dive bar. Actually, this place probably aspires to be a dive bar. It is a complete hole in the wall. With that being said you cannot beat the prices or the portions.

This isn't my "norm" to dine at a dive. Feeling adventures I decided to stop at a little hole in the wall dive near my grandmother's house. Although I don't frequent the Westside often I many times have heard great things about Mann's Grill. I'll be honest upon first arrival I hesitated on taking a seat. Very noisy, patrons a motley crew and the smell of years of grease abuse I thought to myself NO WAY! A friendly voice from behind a cash register said " Take a seat hunny your server will be right with you! ". I was obligated. The booth I chose was a bit dirty however at this point it adds character as I have now realised they don't care and are not trying to be a 5 star restaurant. The young lady that waited on me was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. I had no idea what to order so she chose for me. Man's breakfast. Soda served in a to go cup is brilliant! Mixed matched silverware had me in tears as I litterly lol! I was not prepared for what was to come. The waitress set down a heaping plate of bacon, nice! Eggs cooked to perfection accompanied by hashbrowns and toast. A generous portion of biscuits and gravy. I can't believe for such a small price so much food! Don't let the price take away the value of the food as it is DELICIOUS! I couldn't stop eating it until sadly it was gone. You pay at the register. BEWARE. They tempt you with incredible peanut butter fudge. I was lucky I made it out alive! I'll be at the gym for a few hours longer now. 5 stars to this establishment! Will return and bring friends and family.

If you haven't tried their BLT you're definitely missing out. It's not on the menu but it exists and its amazing. Yeah its old, yeah its not pristine... but neither are the people that eat there ( myself included). It truely is the working man's restaurant. The portions are amazing, the food is good, the prices are cheap, the servers are polite, and it has a warm mom and pop feel about it. I'm new here and I'm already a loyal customer.

I am not sure what to say that hasn't already been said. Homestyle cooking, low prices and more than enough meals to chose from. I have tried turkey and dressing and there was enough for 2 meals. Tried the breaded tenderloin and it was good but I am on the hunt for the Hoosier style hand breaded tenderloin vs the fritter style. But at less than $4 it was fine. I also tried catfish..2 large filets on top of a bun. Plenty for a sandwich with enough left over for a separate meal but I left the bun and just went for the catfish. Last, bit not least, the coconut cream pie. I have to give it mediocre. No meringue, instead it was topped with cool whip. Good but definitely not homemade. As for the fellow complaining about cigarette smoke unless he was sitting outside I am not sure where that came from but there always seems to be one of those cigarette smoker complainers in every crowd. We have already catered to you all and even had to give up smoking sections. If you are that sensitive to cigarette smoke drifting from outside maybe you need to never go outside and just stay home.

Absurdly good. Phenomenal. The atmosphere puts the D in "Dive", but that seems to be because they put all their budget and energy into quality food, fast service, ridiculously large portions, and cooks that know the way to "flavortown"! That's right, I said it--somebody call Guy! The seats were full on that Friday evening in June, with a fast turnover and regulars/people who'd been coming for years. Most seemed appreciative of our wonderment of this great find and took time not only to show us what they'd ordered but to brag about the price. I'm not exaggerating - I count the coconut pie guy, the banana pudding lady and her spaghetti dinner husband, the bacon cheeseburger kids across from them (1/3 lb of bacon on 1lb of burger I think? really it looked like more of a challenge than a sandwich), and the shredded beef lady (they put half a cow on her plate). Even I, a first-time customer, got into the mix by talking a young man into ordering the fantastic catfish dinner we had just enjoyed. (My doggy bag was already packed up, but shredded beef lady's husband waved over his plate to show him how great it looked.) My dinner plate held two wide, thick succulent, boneless catfish filets--perfectly breaded, and -considering the lack of odor- fried in fresh oil. The dinner is served with 2 sides - we selected macaroni (thick and creamy,) coleslaw (large portion of fine cut version,) grits (3 meals worth and arguably the best I've had in any restaurant) and OMG fried green tomatoes fresh in flavor and texture, firm AND tender, lightly breaded (again with no grease). The drinks - unsweetened iced tea (with not a wedge, but a large half of a lemon) and a Sierra Mist soda - arrived in extra large styrofoam cups/vats (52oz?), no charge for refills. The food festival at our table came to a grand total, tax included, of $9 each. Seriously. (I'd just spent $6 on 2 bags of chips and 2 bottled sodas at the gas station earlier that evening). $9. Nine dollars. NINE. Mann's Grille offers bragging-rights-quality in price AND service (see waitress Tammy) AND portion AND taste. What more do you need?!? This place is the Willy Wonka's of great diner/dives.
(5)Arrow H.
Ordered grilled tenderloin sandwich. Received large portion with good service from server. This place wreaked of cigarette smoke and could not taste my food. Cost of food was unreasonable low for portion size. This place needs to reevaluate pricing vs overhead/costs vs profit. The business this place received was unreal for lunch. Broken table and booth seating needs to be fixed. Reason for 3 stars was cigarette smoke otherwise a five. I did not see people smoking in the room where I was seated, but I felt like I was being overwhelmed by it.
(3)Patrick W.
Mann's Grille (no reason for the extra M or an E on Grill) is as homey, down to earth, basic good food you'll ever get, and by the pound, never better for the cash you put down. Greasy, yes. Large portions, YES. Well seasoned, YEP. Bearnaise sauce. NO WAY... Hungry for good food? Go. Want gravy with your meal? GO! Want the best home cooking for a little scratch? Mann's Grille is for you (and I'm staring the hey, Drop the E on Grille, its only a Grill) campaign.. Not really
(4)Jan K.
This place has gone down hill, it has remodeled but service is terrible, they wiped my table with a towel that looks as though they mopped the floor with it last night... I use to love coming here.. but this will be my last visit and will never again recommend this place to my guest. It doesnt deserve the one star I'm giving it
(1)Robert C.
Usually love this place. Biggest portions in Indy! Loosen your belt. Good home cooked food. Pork chops I had this round weren't the best. Usually much better.
(3)Wanda M.
What can I say that others haven't already. Twenty plus years eating here and almost nothing has changed except the smoking so that should say it all. PLEASE remember if you have health issues, cholesterol, heart issues, diabetics, or concerned with your weight, turn away now. The food is truck stop food, LARGE portions, great prices, and just folks slinging hash. When I worked two blocks away we ordered carryout three or four times a week. Not healthy, I know. However, the portions are so large two people can easily split a meal which around $6 or $7. Cheap eating for two on a budget. The menu is large but be sure to ask what the specials are for the day. They sell out fast since they only offer on certain days. My husband and son love the salmon patties on Friday. We rarely eat in but only because we enjoy eating in front of our TV with our fur babies. I've had practically ever item on the menu and some are greasier than others. We order a lot of salmon patties on Friday, meatloaf with mashed potatoes and mac/cheese, country fried steak with white gravy, and my personal favorite is the roasted turkey and dressing with double dressing and corn. Seriously enough for two people or two separate meals. We haven't had a grease issue with any of these. The T-Bones are tender and seasoned well. Breakfast are good but fried in lots of butter or grease. Biscuits and white gravy is terrific. Mann's is always busy so if you call for take out be prepared for a busy signal but just dial back immediately. Once you get through the order taker most likely will be talking to you and someone else off and on since she's handling 5 different things while she's on the phone. Our carry out orders are perfect 99.0 percent of the time. Most of the containers are filled to the very top of the containers so be careful carrying it home. Later in the day they run out of popular items so be prepare for a back up selection if you come later than 7:00 pm. The average wait time for your carry out order is 10-15 minutes. They don't mess around. The clientele ranges from locals, truck drivers, business Presidents & CEOs, salesmen, factory workers, and anyone who loves cheap comfort food prepared well for a greasy spoon eat here often. Nothing fancy but decent, cheap food, large quantities served by friendly servers. Please tip well even though the food is inexpensive if you enjoyed your food and experience. Even a greasy spoon doesn't justify a two dollar tip.

Some may be put off by this establishment's exterior appearance but if they pass it by they are doing their selves a disservice! They have some of the largest food portions in Indianapolis for the cheapest prices I have ever seen. They serve breakfast all day, open very early in the morning, and you will always need a to go carry out box for them. I once told a waitress that they should be on Man VS Food and she stated that they have been. Their menu is large and diverse and their service is always very fast. They also have very nice deserts. Give them a try, you won't regret it.
(5)Telissa C.
I don't know how this place has 4 stars. When you walk in you immediately notice filthy floors. It's a seat yourself kind of place. The "back" section is even more filthy. I can accept the run down booths. I can accept walls that need painted. What I can not accept is dirt. This place has TONS of business so why not hire bus boys to clean the tables and floors? If they don't care that the floors are covered with food and debris for everyone to see, what do you think is going on in that kitchen?? I don't even want to know! Yuck! Let's talk about the food. This is a greasy spoon type place so my expectations are always very low. The menus are worn out and marked on so it's never clear as to what items they are out of. They do give huge portions, but it's all cheap low grade food. I question the freshness. The prices are super cheap so if you want a lot of sketchy food at a low price in a filthy atmosphere, this is the place for you
(1)Eden S.
A few coworkers had told me of their tasty food with huge portions so I decided to stop in. I don't know what I was expecting (particularly in this part of Indy) but my first impression was the dingy and visually cluttered appearance of the place. Nothing seemed to match, the place showcases 3 styles of booth upholstery. However, I had great, lightning fast service despite how busy the place was and the portions were, indeed, colossal. The food was good, the chicken is crispy and the crinkle cut fries are what you would expect. Nothing to rave about, but one of the better restaurants of its genre. With a remodel and maybe the assistance of an interior design expert, this could be a cute and fun country style grill.
(3)Chip M.
Don't let the dive appearance scare you off. Reasonably priced, quick service and descent food. The bacon is a personal fav. Sometimes you might need to wait for a table to open up. Dinner time the food is on the board and when it's gone they pull it off the board. (Don't go to supper late) :) Come hungry
(4)Kelly H.
I'll sum up what all has already been said: hole-in-the-wall, greasy spoon, and your ultimate hangover remedy. So adjust your expectations coming in - place looks like it hasn't been painted or in anyway maintained in 20+ years, but their customers could care less as evident by the packed parking lot. One important tip: BRING CASH! (Fortunately, you won't need to bring much). Next time, I will wear pants with an elastic waist because the portions are RIDICULOUS. I had enough leftovers for dinner that night, so I managed to score two (artery-clogging but delicious) meals for a total of $8. Hollaaa!
(4)Thomas S.
Bring an appetite...large portions! Boneless ribs are the best with side of buffalo fries and cucumber salad. Every trip to Indy must include Manns!
(4)Catherine K.
If you feel like playing fast and loose with your cholesterol levels, Mann's is the place for you! Don't go here looking for a healthy meal. The restaurant is dark, loud and kind of shabby inside, but that is part of the charm. My husband and I each had a burger, fries/onion rings and drinks for under $20. Not your everyday place, but a good greasy treat every once in a while. Portions are HUGE so come hungry!
(4)Ronnie W.
I MISS ROSIE ! Been going here since I was a kid, food was always plentyfull and fast. I went in a month ago for lunch. Turkey manhattan and green beans. Seems like they changed. Trukey was different, potatoes-eeh, and the grean beans were sweet? I hope it was just an off day. Rest in peace Rosie, miss ya !
(3)Ana L.
This morning I came in to Manns grill, the place was packed. I didn't expect it to be so full. The waitress came to us within 2 minutes. She was quick and two the point, drinks came in a giant cup (refill extra) but with the size of the cup I don't think you would need one. We order the breakfast platter for $7.50 potions were huge like the others have stated. Food was good and came out quickly, even with a packed place. I'll be back for sure.
(4)T. J.
I really don't get the reason why people like this place. It's been here for years and unfortunately the last time they cleaned was when it opened. They do give you a good amount of food that you will enjoy if you like Grease as it has to be the greasiest meal on earth. Service is so so but the Resturant is also really congested so do expect to be comfortable.
(1)Michael P.
If your hungry this the place to go. Plates of food for a quality price. Don't let the hole in the wall appearance fool you. Don't forget to try the homemade fudge!
(3)Carly C.
I love this place! It's absolutely delicious. The employees are friendly and the service is speedy. It looks rundown, but don't let that fool you! It's very clean. It's a great place to eat with friends or by yourself!
(4)Rick B.
I get say four stars because it is true to the greasy spoon nature . i always love the ham beans and the turkey Manhattan probably two of the healthiest things on the menu, tried to have everything on the menu at least one time in the last 10 years. ive used my card there before so maybe they were down.
(4)Karl M.
The place was ok. Food seemed a bit over hyped by people I heard talk about it. The restaurant looked super dirty and run down. The booths were very broke down. I expected more. The place gets a ton of praise but I just don't see it. The staff was nice and attentive so no complaints there.
(2)Maria B.
This is the best place to get the most for your $1.... It's not the best, BUT ... ALL of what they serve is hot, fresh, and big servings. This is a place filled with locals that LOVE to eat (if you are visiting, this is the best place to eat to save some money). Their breakfast is awesome. I always get the biscuits and gravy. Even a half order is too much. They give you lots of bacon too (for all those bacon lovers). The customer service is always friendly and fast. They make you feel right at home here. Bring your family and friends out to dinner at this place, cause you can afford it!! (And you'll be FULL)
(4)Valerie S.
This place is amazing and delicious and cheap. It's a total truck stop, but I have yet to eat anything there that isn't awesome, including breakfast for lunch. I have had the t-bone, the country fried steak, the fried chops, the bbq chops, the beef tips, the steak and mushrooms, the meatloaf, the biscuits and gravy, and the french toast. All delicious. It is very hard to pick what I want sometimes. The amount of food you get is easily 2 meals, sometimes three. They are awesome, and I go there every time I'm in town.
(5)Brad W.
I have to say when I first pulled into the (packed) parking lot of this place, I am glad I was visiting when the sun was still up. However, I must say, don't let the outside (or inside) scare you, the food is very good. As others have said, this is comfort food; it is what cracker barrel wants to be but can't (because the food at cracker barrel sucks). The portions are more than enough for a person (or two) with enough for lunch the next day. Good food, nice staff, and safe enough to visit more than once. :)
(4)Traci L.
The best kept secret in Indy! I went there today for the first time and fell in love! The food is awesome, the portions absolutely huge ..definitely becoming my favorite breakfast place!
(5)Jay S.
Love this place! It is a true hole-in-the wall but the food, service and value is well worth it!!! The only place u can spend $5 and walk out very very happy!!! A true hometown spot!
(5)Josh R.
Very, very popular with the locals. Walked in for a brunch around noon on a Thursday, and sat ourselves in a back corner booth. After several minutes, presumably as a social experiment to determine our worthiness of service, we were pleasantly greeted by a clearly overwhelmed and stressed waitress. The menu claims they charge for soda refills, though (since in a fine establishment (much like all of Central America) I refuse to attempt to imbibe the "water" that comes out of the tap) upon mentioning my displeasure with the idea of the paying extra for each cup she offered to waive the fees. The most interesting part of our meal was the flagrant discord between our waitress and the one presiding over the adjoining section. Obviously, they were both having a very bad day, however I suspect this has been a developing issue. The adjoining section waitress, when asked how her day was going preceded to berate her coworker's ineptitude. They argued back and forth throughout the meal, each struggling to work all their tables though they both took our drink orders (one of them twice) and both brought us drinks (in oversized take-out cups without lids) and then also both brought us lids. Well, on to the reason for existence of the establishment. Once our waitress took our order (all this happened very quickly - we had a very short lunch break) the food arrived very rapidly and was extremely good as well as perfectly prepared. I thoroughly enjoyed the french toast, scrambled eggs, sausage patties, breakfast potatoes (thick, round, crinkle-cut style), as well as well buttered and lightly toasted white bread. This establishment is the definitive "greasy spoon", but if that's a restaurant genre that appeals - Mann's will not disappoint.
(4)Brandon C.
OK... I must first preface this by reminding everyone that Mann's Grill is a TRUE greasy spoon. They serve MASSIVE portions at the least expensive price possible. Because of this fact, much of the food is preprocessed, or pre-prepared. That being said, you will find NOWHERE that will give you the amount of food that this establishment provides for the cost. Wet side dishes (Mac n' cheese, cole slaw, green beans, etc) are served in small CEREAL BOWLS! many of the dry sides (French fries, "home fries", bacon, etc.) are served on separate plates! Every single meal will be served on at LEAST 2 dishes. For example.... Let's say you would like Lasagna with a side salad and apple sauce.... You will receive a plate with a brick-sized hunk of lasagna, and 2 separate bowls filled with the sides. One of the most amazing meals is the Mann's Breakfast... served all day. 2 eggs cooked to your liking; choice of bacon, ham, sausage or smoked sausage (probably on a separate plate); choice of hashbrowns or homefries (the homefries are more like french fries); choice of pancakes, french toast, or half-order of biscuits and gravy (DEFINITELY served on a 3rd plate because will fill it by itself!)... did I mention it's less than $7?! Every single meal on their menu (excluding the premium meals like steak and shrimp) is less than $7!!! Burger and fries? Yep... it's a frozen 100% beef patty... just like 95% of fast food restaurants... the difference is that the patty will be cooked to perfection. The burger is big enough to make a Hardee's Thickburger look like a White Castle Slider! You will DEFINITELY need to use two hands to eat it! Make it a bacon cheeseburger and add a pound of fries, and enjoy greasy meaty heaven for less than the cost of a Big Mac Value Meal!!! The atmosphere is extremely laid back and casual. A board hangs on the wall with available Entree items written on pieces of paper... as they run out of the entree (It's guaranteed the board will be almost bare by the end of the day) the paper is removed. None of the silverware or dishes will match, and your drinks are served in 32oz styrofoam cups with lids. The idea is to save on costs and labor to provide lower costs to the patrons. The place will always be packed, and the crowd and staff are always a quirky bunch. Nothing makes me smile like hearing the amazed exclamation from a patron in the next booth when the table is literally covered in food :-D They are closed on Sundays (which makes me sad, but I respect them even more for it!), and they DO accept credit (in response to those who say they don't). There may be food that you don't care for, but the menu is so vast you should try something else next time. I live an hour away and still travel 1-2 times a month just to enjoy some good breakfast that won't empty your wallet, or to enjoy some delicious pork chops and burgers. If you enjoy a TRUE greasy spoon, then be prepared for the Ultimate experience :-) Hope to see y'all there some time!
(5)Colleen G.
Oh.my .god. PLEASE save yourself and don't come here. People of Indianapolis-have your taste buds burnt off and fell on your frozen sausage patty? This place was seriously packed. My boyfriend and I decided to try this place because it got stellar reviews on Yelp. I was super excited because I thought this would be a dive with some home-cooked yum yumz. FALSE. First things first- I got a coffee and my boyfriend ordered a water, which came in a styrofoam cup...? Bizarre. I am a foody and have been to multiple restaurants and to be quite honest this was one of the dirtiest and unappealing dive I have ever been to. I honestly hate writing that because I am all for local business. I am at a loss for words after this horrifying experience. WOOF. Is all I have to say.
(1)Mak J.
I finally made it in during their open hours and I was glad that I did. They are closed on Sundays and the info on here is incorrect. They are also cash only, FYI. The portions are ridiculously sized, and I loved it. The old man and I both got the Mann's Breakfast and we could have shared one. We are not people who share breakfasts. I have never seen so much bacon in one place literally anywhere in my life. I got the home fries instead of the hashbrowns and I wasn't happy about it. They tasted like at one time in the not too distant past they had been frozen, and I don't like that. As my boyfriend said it, they tasted "fake". That is my only complaint about the food though. It is also a great place for people watching, and table watching. The portions here are so huge. I mean, I had to say it again. I don't think you understand still how much food they will give you. I saw a turkey manhattan that could feed an entire family of four, and I wanted it so bad despite how full of bacon and gravy I was. The good: - Breakfast. All day. Loves it. - Packed to the gills. People love that shit. -There are some characters to behold here, that is for sure. -Service is fast (way fast) and attentive despite being super busy - You can literally see them cooking your food right there in the dining room. - The kitchy decor is super up my alley. The bad: - The walls have about an inch thick of grease on them, especially in the back dining area. Try to sit in front if you can for a more pleasant dining experience. -It's closed on Sundays, the day that I most likely will be seeking out some serious greasy spoon time. - Cash only always sucks so much. - The home fries really turned me off and made me suspect of the overall food quality - OJ was... don't get the OJ. - Ice water in mis-matchy plastic cups from Wal-Mart, kind of a turn off, but what can you do? The ugly: -Some of your fellow patrons aren't going super easy on the eyes. Ya feel me? I am going back to get some of that turkey manhattan though.
(3)Mike H.
This place is great, its what every other chain restaurant tries to be. We have lived in Indy for 6 years, and am happy to of finally found a place to go and enjoy great home style foods. The staff is down to earth, and certainly are not teenagers that just don't care. If anything you should give Mann's a try. Don't let the neighborhood, parking lot, or inside of the restaurant scare you. Wait to form your opinion until you have taken that first bite!!
(5)Mike F.
Mann, this place is good! Mann's Grille is one of those down-home places that you might find in a movie. The place is a bit small, but the portions are bountiful. Keep in ind that eating at Mann's Grille on a daily basis could be a health hazard. The food is covered in grease, but heck, that's why you go to Mann's Grille anyway. Try the breaded pork tenderloin...it's probably one of Indianapolis' best.
(5)Angie A.
I've witnessed dramas unfold inside the walls of Mann's Grille that would make Shakespeare both weep, & bay with laughter. And the Food is worth the trip as well. Massive and I really do mean massive portions of honest mid-western comfort food. This is Indianapolis's version of Alice's Restaurant. Now you know Beef & Boards isn't the only place to go for dinner & a show ;) If you asked CeCil B. DeMille to describe Mann's, even he would say EPIC!
(5)Pablo E.
Mann's Grille will always hold a special place in my heart. My grandmother, perhaps one of the premiere nutjobs in the history of Indy's westside, had vendettas against every restaurant in town.... except Mann's. She'd found this gem while working at the defunct Allison plant, and they'd never rubbed her the wrong way. And there's a good reason. While Mann's might be the greasiest of greasy spoons, it's well worth a visit. It used to be a shift-change and a lunch stop for all of the factories around there. Now that all of those factories are gone, years later Mann's still remains. That should tell you something. Daily dinner specials run you $5.69, and when you're done they'll have to roll you out. Food's really honest and surprisingly good -- it ain't Gordon Ramsay gourmet shit, but if you're looking for that, why are you at a place like Mann's anyway? When we were in town for the holidays, my parents took us there for nostalgia. I can gladly report that nothing had changed since my grandmother's days.
(5)Rachael W.
I have been thinking about Mann's Grille a lot lately. It has been about a year since I have been there, but that first experience has held a place in my memory. It was almost a sensory overload. It was dark, full of smoke, and loud. The cashier was yelling to a line cook, who was yelling to a waitress, who was yelling back. The cook, in a "white" tank top under his grease stained apron, was slapping a huge pile of onions on the sizzling flat top grill while a long Pall Mall hangs from his lips. The back wall is covered with name plates of different specials and desserts. Someone yells to a server when there is only one piece of coconut cream pie. Two minutes later the name plate is yanked off the wall. I had ordered a fried fish dinner. The plate came out with 2 monsterous planks of fried cod holding down a mound of crinkle cut fries. The other plate of food on the table was a bacon double cheeseburger. It had a half pound of bacon! The line of locals was starting to pile up. People wanting to pay, wanting to get a table, or pick up take out orders in repurposed Kroger paper bags. The Manhattan's seem to be the crowd favorite whether turkey or beef. It's a great place to gorge yourself on simple meals in mass quantity. The people watching is also a bonus. The breakfast is also awesome and starts early. Can't wait to go back and update this review. I hope not too much has changed, fingers crossed!
(3)Ryan H.
For the greasy-spoon breakfast diner-seeking person, this place is super-dope. Located on the southwest side of town, they cater primarily to a blue-collar crowd that works at nearby factories (my grandpa probably went there back in his Allison days). Known for great, friendly service by attractive young ladies, they serve up great breakfasts and lunches, and if you're on that side of town, give em a try and ask for Randa. Tell her Ryan sent you!
(5)Richard H.
The servings are HUGE, the price is low, and the food is almost amazingly bland and unexciting. It's worth one trip just to see the place.
(1)Joshua H.
Great portions, decent service, great prices.. not the fanicest place, but a great lunch place if you are hungry,... oh and breakfast rocks too!
(4)Howie H.
Great value, great home-cooked food, no pretense within the wait staff or establishment itself-- the ultimate greasy spoon. While lunchtime is full of wonderful menu items "like Mom used to make", their breakfasts are amongst the best in town and not overpriced like the trendy haunts downtown and on the northside of town.
(5)Telissa C.
I don't know how this place has 4 stars. When you walk in you immediately notice filthy floors. It's a seat yourself kind of place. The "back" section is even more filthy. I can accept the run down booths. I can accept walls that need painted. What I can not accept is dirt. This place has TONS of business so why not hire bus boys to clean the tables and floors? If they don't care that the floors are covered with food and debris for everyone to see, what do you think is going on in that kitchen?? I don't even want to know! Yuck! Let's talk about the food. This is a greasy spoon type place so my expectations are always very low. The menus are worn out and marked on so it's never clear as to what items they are out of. They do give huge portions, but it's all cheap low grade food. I question the freshness. The prices are super cheap so if you want a lot of sketchy food at a low price in a filthy atmosphere, this is the place for you

However, the portions are so large two people can easily split a meal which around $6 or $7. Cheap eating for two on a budget. The menu is large but be sure to ask what the specials are for the day. They sell out fast since they only offer on certain days. My husband and son love the salmon patties on Friday. We rarely eat in but only because we enjoy eating in front of our TV with our fur babies. I've had practically ever item on the menu and some are greasier than others. We order a lot of salmon patties on Friday, meatloaf with mashed potatoes and mac/cheese, country fried steak with white gravy, and my personal favorite is the roasted turkey and dressing with double dressing and corn. Seriously enough for two people or two separate meals. We haven't had a grease issue with any of these. The T-Bones are tender and seasoned well. Breakfast are good but fried in lots of butter or grease. Biscuits and white gravy is terrific. Mann's is always busy so if you call for take out be prepared for a busy signal but just dial back immediately. Once you get through the order taker most likely will be talking to you and someone else off and on since she's handling 5 different things while she's on the phone. Our carry out orders are perfect 99.0 percent of the time. Most of the containers are filled to the very top of the containers so be careful carrying it home. Later in the day they run out of popular items so be prepare for a back up selection if you come later than 7:00 pm. The average wait time for your carry out order is 10-15 minutes. They don't mess around. The clientele ranges from locals, truck drivers, business Presidents & CEOs, salesmen, factory workers, and anyone who loves cheap comfort food prepared well for a greasy spoon eat here often. Nothing fancy but decent, cheap food, large quantities served by friendly servers. Please tip well even though the food is inexpensive if you enjoyed your food and experience. Even a greasy spoon doesn't justify a two dollar tip.

Some may be put off by this establishment's exterior appearance but if they pass it by they are doing their selves a disservice! They have some of the largest food portions in Indianapolis for the cheapest prices I have ever seen. They serve breakfast all day, open very early in the morning, and you will always need a to go carry out box for them. I once told a waitress that they should be on Man VS Food and she stated that they have been. Their menu is large and diverse and their service is always very fast. They also have very nice deserts. Give them a try, you won't regret it.

This is the best place to get the most for your $1.... It's not the best, BUT ... ALL of what they serve is hot, fresh, and big servings. This is a place filled with locals that LOVE to eat (if you are visiting, this is the best place to eat to save some money). Their breakfast is awesome. I always get the biscuits and gravy. Even a half order is too much. They give you lots of bacon too (for all those bacon lovers). The customer service is always friendly and fast. They make you feel right at home here. Bring your family and friends out to dinner at this place, cause you can afford it!! (And you'll be FULL)

This place is amazing and delicious and cheap. It's a total truck stop, but I have yet to eat anything there that isn't awesome, including breakfast for lunch. I have had the t-bone, the country fried steak, the fried chops, the bbq chops, the beef tips, the steak and mushrooms, the meatloaf, the biscuits and gravy, and the french toast. All delicious. It is very hard to pick what I want sometimes. The amount of food you get is easily 2 meals, sometimes three. They are awesome, and I go there every time I'm in town.
(5)Ronnie W.
I MISS ROSIE ! Been going here since I was a kid, food was always plentyfull and fast. I went in a month ago for lunch. Turkey manhattan and green beans. Seems like they changed. Trukey was different, potatoes-eeh, and the grean beans were sweet? I hope it was just an off day. Rest in peace Rosie, miss ya !
(3)Ana L.
This morning I came in to Manns grill, the place was packed. I didn't expect it to be so full. The waitress came to us within 2 minutes. She was quick and two the point, drinks came in a giant cup (refill extra) but with the size of the cup I don't think you would need one. We order the breakfast platter for $7.50 potions were huge like the others have stated. Food was good and came out quickly, even with a packed place. I'll be back for sure.
(4)Rick B.
I get say four stars because it is true to the greasy spoon nature . i always love the ham beans and the turkey Manhattan probably two of the healthiest things on the menu, tried to have everything on the menu at least one time in the last 10 years. ive used my card there before so maybe they were down.
(4)Karl M.
The place was ok. Food seemed a bit over hyped by people I heard talk about it. The restaurant looked super dirty and run down. The booths were very broke down. I expected more. The place gets a ton of praise but I just don't see it. The staff was nice and attentive so no complaints there.
(2)Brad W.
I have to say when I first pulled into the (packed) parking lot of this place, I am glad I was visiting when the sun was still up. However, I must say, don't let the outside (or inside) scare you, the food is very good. As others have said, this is comfort food; it is what cracker barrel wants to be but can't (because the food at cracker barrel sucks). The portions are more than enough for a person (or two) with enough for lunch the next day. Good food, nice staff, and safe enough to visit more than once. :)
(4)Traci L.
The best kept secret in Indy! I went there today for the first time and fell in love! The food is awesome, the portions absolutely huge ..definitely becoming my favorite breakfast place!
(5)Jay S.
Love this place! It is a true hole-in-the wall but the food, service and value is well worth it!!! The only place u can spend $5 and walk out very very happy!!! A true hometown spot!
(5)Ryan H.
For the greasy-spoon breakfast diner-seeking person, this place is super-dope. Located on the southwest side of town, they cater primarily to a blue-collar crowd that works at nearby factories (my grandpa probably went there back in his Allison days). Known for great, friendly service by attractive young ladies, they serve up great breakfasts and lunches, and if you're on that side of town, give em a try and ask for Randa. Tell her Ryan sent you!

This isn't my "norm" to dine at a dive. Feeling adventures I decided to stop at a little hole in the wall dive near my grandmother's house. Although I don't frequent the Westside often I many times have heard great things about Mann's Grill. I'll be honest upon first arrival I hesitated on taking a seat. Very noisy, patrons a motley crew and the smell of years of grease abuse I thought to myself NO WAY! A friendly voice from behind a cash register said " Take a seat hunny your server will be right with you! ". I was obligated. The booth I chose was a bit dirty however at this point it adds character as I have now realised they don't care and are not trying to be a 5 star restaurant. The young lady that waited on me was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. I had no idea what to order so she chose for me. Man's breakfast. Soda served in a to go cup is brilliant! Mixed matched silverware had me in tears as I litterly lol! I was not prepared for what was to come. The waitress set down a heaping plate of bacon, nice! Eggs cooked to perfection accompanied by hashbrowns and toast. A generous portion of biscuits and gravy. I can't believe for such a small price so much food! Don't let the price take away the value of the food as it is DELICIOUS! I couldn't stop eating it until sadly it was gone. You pay at the register. BEWARE. They tempt you with incredible peanut butter fudge. I was lucky I made it out alive! I'll be at the gym for a few hours longer now. 5 stars to this establishment! Will return and bring friends and family.

I am not sure what to say that hasn't already been said. Homestyle cooking, low prices and more than enough meals to chose from. I have tried turkey and dressing and there was enough for 2 meals. Tried the breaded tenderloin and it was good but I am on the hunt for the Hoosier style hand breaded tenderloin vs the fritter style. But at less than $4 it was fine. I also tried catfish..2 large filets on top of a bun. Plenty for a sandwich with enough left over for a separate meal but I left the bun and just went for the catfish. Last, bit not least, the coconut cream pie. I have to give it mediocre. No meringue, instead it was topped with cool whip. Good but definitely not homemade. As for the fellow complaining about cigarette smoke unless he was sitting outside I am not sure where that came from but there always seems to be one of those cigarette smoker complainers in every crowd. We have already catered to you all and even had to give up smoking sections. If you are that sensitive to cigarette smoke drifting from outside maybe you need to never go outside and just stay home.
(5)Patrick W.
Mann's Grille (no reason for the extra M or an E on Grill) is as homey, down to earth, basic good food you'll ever get, and by the pound, never better for the cash you put down. Greasy, yes. Large portions, YES. Well seasoned, YEP. Bearnaise sauce. NO WAY... Hungry for good food? Go. Want gravy with your meal? GO! Want the best home cooking for a little scratch? Mann's Grille is for you (and I'm staring the hey, Drop the E on Grille, its only a Grill) campaign.. Not really
(4)Jan K.
This place has gone down hill, it has remodeled but service is terrible, they wiped my table with a towel that looks as though they mopped the floor with it last night... I use to love coming here.. but this will be my last visit and will never again recommend this place to my guest. It doesnt deserve the one star I'm giving it
(1)Rene P.
Absurdly good. Phenomenal. The atmosphere puts the D in "Dive", but that seems to be because they put all their budget and energy into quality food, fast service, ridiculously large portions, and cooks that know the way to "flavortown"! That's right, I said it--somebody call Guy! The seats were full on that Friday evening in June, with a fast turnover and regulars/people who'd been coming for years. Most seemed appreciative of our wonderment of this great find and took time not only to show us what they'd ordered but to brag about the price. I'm not exaggerating - I count the coconut pie guy, the banana pudding lady and her spaghetti dinner husband, the bacon cheeseburger kids across from them (1/3 lb of bacon on 1lb of burger I think? really it looked like more of a challenge than a sandwich), and the shredded beef lady (they put half a cow on her plate). Even I, a first-time customer, got into the mix by talking a young man into ordering the fantastic catfish dinner we had just enjoyed. (My doggy bag was already packed up, but shredded beef lady's husband waved over his plate to show him how great it looked.) My dinner plate held two wide, thick succulent, boneless catfish filets--perfectly breaded, and -considering the lack of odor- fried in fresh oil. The dinner is served with 2 sides - we selected macaroni (thick and creamy,) coleslaw (large portion of fine cut version,) grits (3 meals worth and arguably the best I've had in any restaurant) and OMG fried green tomatoes fresh in flavor and texture, firm AND tender, lightly breaded (again with no grease). The drinks - unsweetened iced tea (with not a wedge, but a large half of a lemon) and a Sierra Mist soda - arrived in extra large styrofoam cups/vats (52oz?), no charge for refills. The food festival at our table came to a grand total, tax included, of $9 each. Seriously. (I'd just spent $6 on 2 bags of chips and 2 bottled sodas at the gas station earlier that evening). $9. Nine dollars. NINE. Mann's Grille offers bragging-rights-quality in price AND service (see waitress Tammy) AND portion AND taste. What more do you need?!? This place is the Willy Wonka's of great diner/dives.
(5)Jeremy K.
If you haven't tried their BLT you're definitely missing out. It's not on the menu but it exists and its amazing. Yeah its old, yeah its not pristine... but neither are the people that eat there ( myself included). It truely is the working man's restaurant. The portions are amazing, the food is good, the prices are cheap, the servers are polite, and it has a warm mom and pop feel about it. I'm new here and I'm already a loyal customer.
(5)Amber E.
This place is a total dive bar. Actually, this place probably aspires to be a dive bar. It is a complete hole in the wall. With that being said you cannot beat the prices or the portions.
(3)Arrow H.
Ordered grilled tenderloin sandwich. Received large portion with good service from server. This place wreaked of cigarette smoke and could not taste my food. Cost of food was unreasonable low for portion size. This place needs to reevaluate pricing vs overhead/costs vs profit. The business this place received was unreal for lunch. Broken table and booth seating needs to be fixed. Reason for 3 stars was cigarette smoke otherwise a five. I did not see people smoking in the room where I was seated, but I felt like I was being overwhelmed by it.
(3)Eden S.
A few coworkers had told me of their tasty food with huge portions so I decided to stop in. I don't know what I was expecting (particularly in this part of Indy) but my first impression was the dingy and visually cluttered appearance of the place. Nothing seemed to match, the place showcases 3 styles of booth upholstery. However, I had great, lightning fast service despite how busy the place was and the portions were, indeed, colossal. The food was good, the chicken is crispy and the crinkle cut fries are what you would expect. Nothing to rave about, but one of the better restaurants of its genre. With a remodel and maybe the assistance of an interior design expert, this could be a cute and fun country style grill.
(3)Robert C.
Usually love this place. Biggest portions in Indy! Loosen your belt. Good home cooked food. Pork chops I had this round weren't the best. Usually much better.
(3)Chip M.
Don't let the dive appearance scare you off. Reasonably priced, quick service and descent food. The bacon is a personal fav. Sometimes you might need to wait for a table to open up. Dinner time the food is on the board and when it's gone they pull it off the board. (Don't go to supper late) :) Come hungry
(4)Kelly H.
I'll sum up what all has already been said: hole-in-the-wall, greasy spoon, and your ultimate hangover remedy. So adjust your expectations coming in - place looks like it hasn't been painted or in anyway maintained in 20+ years, but their customers could care less as evident by the packed parking lot. One important tip: BRING CASH! (Fortunately, you won't need to bring much). Next time, I will wear pants with an elastic waist because the portions are RIDICULOUS. I had enough leftovers for dinner that night, so I managed to score two (artery-clogging but delicious) meals for a total of $8. Hollaaa!
(4)Thomas S.
Bring an appetite...large portions! Boneless ribs are the best with side of buffalo fries and cucumber salad. Every trip to Indy must include Manns!
(4)Catherine K.
If you feel like playing fast and loose with your cholesterol levels, Mann's is the place for you! Don't go here looking for a healthy meal. The restaurant is dark, loud and kind of shabby inside, but that is part of the charm. My husband and I each had a burger, fries/onion rings and drinks for under $20. Not your everyday place, but a good greasy treat every once in a while. Portions are HUGE so come hungry!
(4)T. J.
I really don't get the reason why people like this place. It's been here for years and unfortunately the last time they cleaned was when it opened. They do give you a good amount of food that you will enjoy if you like Grease as it has to be the greasiest meal on earth. Service is so so but the Resturant is also really congested so do expect to be comfortable.
(1)Michael P.
If your hungry this the place to go. Plates of food for a quality price. Don't let the hole in the wall appearance fool you. Don't forget to try the homemade fudge!
(3)Carly C.
I love this place! It's absolutely delicious. The employees are friendly and the service is speedy. It looks rundown, but don't let that fool you! It's very clean. It's a great place to eat with friends or by yourself!
(4)Brandon C.
OK... I must first preface this by reminding everyone that Mann's Grill is a TRUE greasy spoon. They serve MASSIVE portions at the least expensive price possible. Because of this fact, much of the food is preprocessed, or pre-prepared. That being said, you will find NOWHERE that will give you the amount of food that this establishment provides for the cost. Wet side dishes (Mac n' cheese, cole slaw, green beans, etc) are served in small CEREAL BOWLS! many of the dry sides (French fries, "home fries", bacon, etc.) are served on separate plates! Every single meal will be served on at LEAST 2 dishes. For example.... Let's say you would like Lasagna with a side salad and apple sauce.... You will receive a plate with a brick-sized hunk of lasagna, and 2 separate bowls filled with the sides. One of the most amazing meals is the Mann's Breakfast... served all day. 2 eggs cooked to your liking; choice of bacon, ham, sausage or smoked sausage (probably on a separate plate); choice of hashbrowns or homefries (the homefries are more like french fries); choice of pancakes, french toast, or half-order of biscuits and gravy (DEFINITELY served on a 3rd plate because will fill it by itself!)... did I mention it's less than $7?! Every single meal on their menu (excluding the premium meals like steak and shrimp) is less than $7!!! Burger and fries? Yep... it's a frozen 100% beef patty... just like 95% of fast food restaurants... the difference is that the patty will be cooked to perfection. The burger is big enough to make a Hardee's Thickburger look like a White Castle Slider! You will DEFINITELY need to use two hands to eat it! Make it a bacon cheeseburger and add a pound of fries, and enjoy greasy meaty heaven for less than the cost of a Big Mac Value Meal!!! The atmosphere is extremely laid back and casual. A board hangs on the wall with available Entree items written on pieces of paper... as they run out of the entree (It's guaranteed the board will be almost bare by the end of the day) the paper is removed. None of the silverware or dishes will match, and your drinks are served in 32oz styrofoam cups with lids. The idea is to save on costs and labor to provide lower costs to the patrons. The place will always be packed, and the crowd and staff are always a quirky bunch. Nothing makes me smile like hearing the amazed exclamation from a patron in the next booth when the table is literally covered in food :-D They are closed on Sundays (which makes me sad, but I respect them even more for it!), and they DO accept credit (in response to those who say they don't). There may be food that you don't care for, but the menu is so vast you should try something else next time. I live an hour away and still travel 1-2 times a month just to enjoy some good breakfast that won't empty your wallet, or to enjoy some delicious pork chops and burgers. If you enjoy a TRUE greasy spoon, then be prepared for the Ultimate experience :-) Hope to see y'all there some time!
(5)Mike F.
Mann, this place is good! Mann's Grille is one of those down-home places that you might find in a movie. The place is a bit small, but the portions are bountiful. Keep in ind that eating at Mann's Grille on a daily basis could be a health hazard. The food is covered in grease, but heck, that's why you go to Mann's Grille anyway. Try the breaded pork tenderloin...it's probably one of Indianapolis' best.
(5)Angie A.
I've witnessed dramas unfold inside the walls of Mann's Grille that would make Shakespeare both weep, & bay with laughter. And the Food is worth the trip as well. Massive and I really do mean massive portions of honest mid-western comfort food. This is Indianapolis's version of Alice's Restaurant. Now you know Beef & Boards isn't the only place to go for dinner & a show ;) If you asked CeCil B. DeMille to describe Mann's, even he would say EPIC!
(5)Josh R.
Very, very popular with the locals. Walked in for a brunch around noon on a Thursday, and sat ourselves in a back corner booth. After several minutes, presumably as a social experiment to determine our worthiness of service, we were pleasantly greeted by a clearly overwhelmed and stressed waitress. The menu claims they charge for soda refills, though (since in a fine establishment (much like all of Central America) I refuse to attempt to imbibe the "water" that comes out of the tap) upon mentioning my displeasure with the idea of the paying extra for each cup she offered to waive the fees. The most interesting part of our meal was the flagrant discord between our waitress and the one presiding over the adjoining section. Obviously, they were both having a very bad day, however I suspect this has been a developing issue. The adjoining section waitress, when asked how her day was going preceded to berate her coworker's ineptitude. They argued back and forth throughout the meal, each struggling to work all their tables though they both took our drink orders (one of them twice) and both brought us drinks (in oversized take-out cups without lids) and then also both brought us lids. Well, on to the reason for existence of the establishment. Once our waitress took our order (all this happened very quickly - we had a very short lunch break) the food arrived very rapidly and was extremely good as well as perfectly prepared. I thoroughly enjoyed the french toast, scrambled eggs, sausage patties, breakfast potatoes (thick, round, crinkle-cut style), as well as well buttered and lightly toasted white bread. This establishment is the definitive "greasy spoon", but if that's a restaurant genre that appeals - Mann's will not disappoint.
(4)Pablo E.
Mann's Grille will always hold a special place in my heart. My grandmother, perhaps one of the premiere nutjobs in the history of Indy's westside, had vendettas against every restaurant in town.... except Mann's. She'd found this gem while working at the defunct Allison plant, and they'd never rubbed her the wrong way. And there's a good reason. While Mann's might be the greasiest of greasy spoons, it's well worth a visit. It used to be a shift-change and a lunch stop for all of the factories around there. Now that all of those factories are gone, years later Mann's still remains. That should tell you something. Daily dinner specials run you $5.69, and when you're done they'll have to roll you out. Food's really honest and surprisingly good -- it ain't Gordon Ramsay gourmet shit, but if you're looking for that, why are you at a place like Mann's anyway? When we were in town for the holidays, my parents took us there for nostalgia. I can gladly report that nothing had changed since my grandmother's days.

I have been thinking about Mann's Grille a lot lately. It has been about a year since I have been there, but that first experience has held a place in my memory. It was almost a sensory overload. It was dark, full of smoke, and loud. The cashier was yelling to a line cook, who was yelling to a waitress, who was yelling back. The cook, in a "white" tank top under his grease stained apron, was slapping a huge pile of onions on the sizzling flat top grill while a long Pall Mall hangs from his lips. The back wall is covered with name plates of different specials and desserts. Someone yells to a server when there is only one piece of coconut cream pie. Two minutes later the name plate is yanked off the wall. I had ordered a fried fish dinner. The plate came out with 2 monsterous planks of fried cod holding down a mound of crinkle cut fries. The other plate of food on the table was a bacon double cheeseburger. It had a half pound of bacon! The line of locals was starting to pile up. People wanting to pay, wanting to get a table, or pick up take out orders in repurposed Kroger paper bags. The Manhattan's seem to be the crowd favorite whether turkey or beef. It's a great place to gorge yourself on simple meals in mass quantity. The people watching is also a bonus. The breakfast is also awesome and starts early. Can't wait to go back and update this review. I hope not too much has changed, fingers crossed!
(3)Colleen G.
Oh.my .god. PLEASE save yourself and don't come here. People of Indianapolis-have your taste buds burnt off and fell on your frozen sausage patty? This place was seriously packed. My boyfriend and I decided to try this place because it got stellar reviews on Yelp. I was super excited because I thought this would be a dive with some home-cooked yum yumz. FALSE. First things first- I got a coffee and my boyfriend ordered a water, which came in a styrofoam cup...? Bizarre. I am a foody and have been to multiple restaurants and to be quite honest this was one of the dirtiest and unappealing dive I have ever been to. I honestly hate writing that because I am all for local business. I am at a loss for words after this horrifying experience. WOOF. Is all I have to say.
(1)Mak J.
I finally made it in during their open hours and I was glad that I did. They are closed on Sundays and the info on here is incorrect. They are also cash only, FYI. The portions are ridiculously sized, and I loved it. The old man and I both got the Mann's Breakfast and we could have shared one. We are not people who share breakfasts. I have never seen so much bacon in one place literally anywhere in my life. I got the home fries instead of the hashbrowns and I wasn't happy about it. They tasted like at one time in the not too distant past they had been frozen, and I don't like that. As my boyfriend said it, they tasted "fake". That is my only complaint about the food though. It is also a great place for people watching, and table watching. The portions here are so huge. I mean, I had to say it again. I don't think you understand still how much food they will give you. I saw a turkey manhattan that could feed an entire family of four, and I wanted it so bad despite how full of bacon and gravy I was. The good: - Breakfast. All day. Loves it. - Packed to the gills. People love that shit. -There are some characters to behold here, that is for sure. -Service is fast (way fast) and attentive despite being super busy - You can literally see them cooking your food right there in the dining room. - The kitchy decor is super up my alley. The bad: - The walls have about an inch thick of grease on them, especially in the back dining area. Try to sit in front if you can for a more pleasant dining experience. -It's closed on Sundays, the day that I most likely will be seeking out some serious greasy spoon time. - Cash only always sucks so much. - The home fries really turned me off and made me suspect of the overall food quality - OJ was... don't get the OJ. - Ice water in mis-matchy plastic cups from Wal-Mart, kind of a turn off, but what can you do? The ugly: -Some of your fellow patrons aren't going super easy on the eyes. Ya feel me? I am going back to get some of that turkey manhattan though.
(3)Mike H.
This place is great, its what every other chain restaurant tries to be. We have lived in Indy for 6 years, and am happy to of finally found a place to go and enjoy great home style foods. The staff is down to earth, and certainly are not teenagers that just don't care. If anything you should give Mann's a try. Don't let the neighborhood, parking lot, or inside of the restaurant scare you. Wait to form your opinion until you have taken that first bite!!
(5)Richard H.
The servings are HUGE, the price is low, and the food is almost amazingly bland and unexciting. It's worth one trip just to see the place.
(1)Joshua H.
Great portions, decent service, great prices.. not the fanicest place, but a great lunch place if you are hungry,... oh and breakfast rocks too!
(4)Howie H.
Great value, great home-cooked food, no pretense within the wait staff or establishment itself-- the ultimate greasy spoon. While lunchtime is full of wonderful menu items "like Mom used to make", their breakfasts are amongst the best in town and not overpriced like the trendy haunts downtown and on the northside of town.
