Horrible, horrible, horrible. We waited 5 minutes before anyone acknowledged we were there even though they were standing right in front of us. I initiated the contact. We were then shown to a table and sat for 15 minutes waiting for anyone to even stop by to say hi. They didn't. I went back up front and asked the lady seating people if anyone had our table. She said she'd get someone. 3 other groups that came in after us already had drinks. We waited another 10 minutes and left. Do not waste your time or money. Our first time there, we won't be back. They were too busy looking at themselves in the mirror to wait on people.

This is based off of a trip I took via Indy three years back, and this is totally irrelevant to the food. I had just driven from NJ to Indy, straight through, alone, and I was exhausted. Was staying at the Omni close by, and did no research prior to on where I might want to eat. So as I stumbled around and regained feeling to my butt from all the driving, I knew I needed sustenance. I walked into the Tilted Kilt, and while it took a while to get seated, staff was quite friendly once they saw me. My waitress was quite attentive, noticed I was alone, didn't make a huge deal about it, but sat down with me to chat while I figured out what I wanted (this was nice, I needed some human contact at that point) Food was standard chain fare, edible, decent and inexpensive. Waitress figuring I had zero clue what to do for the next few hours before I retired for the evening gathered a few other girls around to help me figure out how to make the most of my stay. They read me like a book, sent me to the Slippery Noodle and I watched some of the best live blues I've ever seen. I'm sure these gals have moved on to greener pastures (work wise), but I'll never forget their kindness, and while that's not a testament to the establishment as it is to them personally, it's my first and fondest memories of visiting Indy.

First, this is not a family restaurant. After trying to seat us in a dark corner of the place, to which I objected, we had a very inept waitress. The hamburger I ordered was good, the chicken pita my spouse ordered was fair at best. The appetizer of garlic parmesean fries was tasty but cold. Beer and scotch were good. This place is not a value if you are looking for good food and service. If you are looking for "Twin Peaks" or "Hooters" with a Scottish aire, this place comes close. I doubt we will return.
(1)Tiffany M.
What's with the loud hip hop music? Everything else pretends to be Celtic... Not sure who they think their crowd is, but I doubt the sea of middle aged white guys wanted to hear hip hop at a sports bar anymore than I did. The waitresses seem annoyed by their tables and the drink menu is unimpressive. I seriously doubt we'll be back.
(2)Mark Z.
Great place if you like to be served by miserable teenage girls providing crappy service. Skip this tourists trap.
(1)Steve W.
Tilted Kilt has decent food, but the service is SLOW. I've been here for lunch a few times, and I've never managed to be in and out in under an hour. In fact, two of my visits took over 1.5 hours. Price: they don't do a lunch menu, so it's on the expensive side for lunch. Overall, with the slow service and higher prices, tilted kilt functions a lot better as a place to grab a beer (no local brews) in the evening when you aren't in a hurry. Maybe eat if you're hungry.
(3)Jake K.
This place reminds me of what Hooters would have been like if it were invented by a Scotsman. Plenty to drink, cheap barfood, and lots of...well, chesticles. At a certain point, I felt sorry for the girls working here - the bras mashing the girl's girls together, while a novelty at first, reminded me of an adage I heard from another young lady, "cute is painful." It did get me to tip a little extra so maybe it did serve its purpose. I forgot why I was in here to begin with other than beer and scantily clad women. Those are the only shining points that come to memory at this point.
(3)Scott H.
There's only one reason to go here, and I think you know what I'm talking about. What is it about those outfits? My goodness. Nighttime is better than the daytime. Otherwise, it's not that great. Decent variety of beer, but the prices are a little high. Food is so-so. They do have a good lineup of TV's so it's an alright place to watch a game.
(2)Beth C.
Plaid shirt paradise! I was hanging out with my dudes and a variety of sporting events were being played on TV so I was totally forced to come here against my will. If I were a 24 year old dude (with a plaid shirt), I would come here all of the time. But for a group of 30-34 year olds, this place is lame. I mean for the most part. I found that the drinks weren't terribly expensive and it was pretty easy to find a place for 5 friends to huddle comfortably without brushing up all over each other. It's just a younger crowd. And they maintain one star for not charging you to watch UFC fights. Definitely not at the top of my list but not at the bottom either.
(3)Terence P.
Like girls in skimpy clothes? Like great drink specials? Like surprisingly good food? This is your spot. It ls very conveniently located in downtown, so it's not a far stumble back to your hotel. Very accommodating of large groups. Bring everyone.

My coworkers and I checked this place out while on our excursion of Downtown Indianapolis, and weren't too impressed, nor really let down per se. Since we work in the automotive industry we were offered a discount. The happy hour specials are also not too bad. The service is spotty. The first night we visited this palce, we were treated fairly well, however, some nights after that, the service was lacking some. The choice in beverages is not too shabby. They have a stout, and a few IPA'S along with some other popular light beers. The food is fair, nothing too crazy. They do have some tv's around, which is nice if you want to catch a game Overall; a nice place to stop by for awhile, and can be hit or miss with service. If I were in the area, I probably would come back :P

Plastic cups and $5 for a beer?!? There was nobody at the door to seat us. We went and say on the bar. It took awhile to be served and the table that came in after us was served before us. We had to ask the table next to us if we could use their menus when they were finished. I went to the front looking for menus and there were no menus and no host to ask. It took at least 10 minutes for a server to acknowledge us. Then another 5-10 minutes to get our beers. The beers were not full and served in flimsy plastic cups. We ordered a chicken tender wrap...one half was still wrap the other half was not. The chicken was dry but luckily they put a half bottle of sauce on it. The chips were not burnt but they tasted like they were cooked in old oil. We went to this tilted kilt thinking it would be similar to the location in woodridge, il but that was not the case. We are always greeted with a friendly host and seated right away. The managers are always talking to guests and helping the servers. We never saw a manager helping out at the Indianapolis location....or saw a manager at all. The food is consistent and we know we will be happy with it...we could not even recognize the same wrap we ordered in Indianapolis. We are a regular at the Woodridge Tilted Kilt but we will not be too quick to visit the Indy location again.
(2)Lesley S.
2 1/2-stars mainly for the desperation of not having 21+ restaurants. I had my one year old with us and couldn't find many places to go. I had the gaelic chicken-Puke. There was no flavor at all in the chicken. The jalepeno inferno burger was ok at best. The waitress (Sasha) who took our table even though it wasn't hers. She was really good and apologetic for no one waiting on us for over 20 minutes. The restaurant was opena few weeks and there was no toliet paper in the bathroom. Tons of waitress, but no service. Sad. Beyond that I would never come back.
(2)Chelsea W.
This was my second time coming into Tilted Kilt and both times we had a good experience. I wasn't sure how busy the place would be considering we came strait from the Pacers game. We were greeted by two hosts and were promptly seated. Our waitress quickly came over for our drink order and was then ready to take our food order when she brought them to the table. I'd say our service experience was good. I ordered the boneless wings in the house sweet and spicy sauce. The wings here have to be my favorite in Indy. They are breaded perfectly and are always juicy with no fatty, gristle parts. The sauce had a good flavor, but not much kick. I'd probably try one of their spicier sauces next time. My husband had the California Turkey burger and loved it. Great taste piled high with delicious guacamole. For us, this was a good dining experience and we'll most likely return. I'm never a fan of the scantily dresses girls working, but hey, it's their thing.
(4)Andrew N.
I went into this place having pretty low expectations, and it still successfully disappointed me. The buffalo chicken dip barely had any any chicken in it and looked like they thinned some nacho cheese and poured some Franks hot sauce in. It was almost impressive how little flavor the Philly cheese steak had -- I didn't taste the beef, the peppers, the onions or the cheese. This might be the M.O. of the place, but the server was sarcastic and at times, almost insulting. I wouldn't go back for any reason. Pros: TV's, attractive waitresses Cons: pretty much everything else
(1)Roscoe P C.
The servers should have an IQ higher than their age. It's interesting how none of the girls pictured on the menus or website are the same head to toe tattooed girls in Tilted Kilt, Indianapolis. They portray "cute and all-american", than serve up a ridin' hard, put away wet girl. Tone down the piercings. The food wasn't anything special. Maybe the Tilted Kilt is trying to re-invent themselves as a biker bar. Be current on your shots, or you may catch something.
(1)AaronErin D.
Service lacking any real restaurant experience. When asked simple questions on menu the bartender was clueless because she felt it didn't concern her. Prices were cheap for drinks on Sunday. The girls should focus more on their service skills rather than their unfit bodies in their uniforms.
(2)Dylan E.
This place is what it is, which is a place where scantily clad attractive female waitresses cater to the predominantly male crowd, using flirting tactics and the occasional hand on the shoulder to solicit happy customers rather than top notch service. With that said, they do it well. This place is often packed, as the location right on Georgia St. is perfect for both game crowds and just people out downtown. If you are looking to catch a sports game, this is a place where you can come with very high confidence of being able to find it on one of their many TVs. They have a big bar with seating all around it, and lots of tables to accommodate even very large parties. It looks like they, if not already, are about to open a big outdoor seating area along Georgia St. that will be very nice and provide some more outdoor seating in that area. It can get loud in here, especially when big events are going on, but that's pretty common for all the bars in this area. I have always felt the service was pretty good here, but it doesn't surprise me that other people have complained in their reviews. Although, if you come here and expect fantastic service, you probably had your sights set a little high. This is basically another version of Hooters except with an Irish theme, although I think Tilted Kilt has a better talent coordinator for the wait staff. It's not uncommon to see a waitress sitting down at another table of guys and chatting with them. I predominantly go sit at the bar, and have never had much to complain about service-wise. The menu doesn't stray much from your typical sports bar type restaurant. They have a bunch of burgers, sandwiches, and appetizers. They do have some specialty items that take on the Celtic theme, and the food is surprisingly good for a place like this. I have always enjoyed my meals, and they have a fantastic late night menu with small plates of deep fried items for $2-$5 that will satisfy that hunger craving after a few too many beers without filling you up so much you can't move. They have a good selection of beers on draft, and even more to choose from in bottles. They have drink specials on seemingly every night of the week, and they are actually pretty good prices that are on par with or cheaper than the surrounding competitors. All in all, a great place to get good food while watching the game in a laid back atmosphere and getting served by attractive ladies in revealing clothing. What more could you ask for?
(4)Anish R.
Stopped into Indy for a conference and stumbled upon this place. The happy hour menu was great. Highly recommend the wings and the meatball marinara sliders. I would avoid the buffalo chicken dip as it was mostly cheese, not enough chicken, and didn't taste the best. Great spot for wings and a brew if you're in town though, especially if you just caught a Pacers game (right next door to the stadium).
(3)Shaun R.
Do not bother coming to this establishment the service is horrible the waitresses are clearly stupid and the owner must hate money. We walk in with a table of eight thirsty drinkers and nothing no help no can I help just a table of people asking what's going on. Once told we will have to go to the bar to order for ourselves after many waitresses witnessed us sitting drink less they tell us they can't even accommodate our drink orders. Sad place with clearly sad staff DO NOT COME HERE!!!!!!!!!
(1)Katie S.
If I'd written this review after my first time going to TK, I'd easily give this 5 stars. After my second experience, though, it's a 4 for me. The good thing about this place is that the food is (at least, in our experience) great. I'm a fan of the beer cheese soup, and my husband raves about the Gaelic chicken Unlike Hooters, this is a place where I actually want to eat the food. Their prices seem reasonable as well, especially if you take advantage of their drink specials and freebies. Speaking of drinks- the mixed drinks are really hit or miss. I'd suggest sticking with beer, wine, or simple mixed drinks that really can't be screwed up. The big ol' downside from our second trip, though, was the service. The first time we ate there, our server (Erica) was fantastic. She was friendly, attentive, and my husband and I ended up spending just as much time chatting with her as we did eating! We couldn't have had a better time. The second time we went, the service was BAD. Seriously, I don't recall ever having a less competent waitress. I will refrain from giving her name, but the girl was an absolute train wreck. She was barely audible when she spoke, disappeared for really long periods of time, and replied "I don't know" to many of our questions without ever offering to go find out the answers. If your drink special is a hand grenade, and your customer asks "What's a hand grenade?" and you don't know, you go ask the bartender. You don't just mumble "I don't know". I truly started to wonder if the poor girl had a concussion or something. Being pretty (and admittedly, she was) doesn't overcome a blank stare and a complete lack of personality, effort, and competence. If I hadn't been to TK before this, I would never go back. The service was that bad (food was still good, though!). Having had such a great experience the first time, though, we'll probably give it another shot. But if we end up with another zombie server, I'm out.
(4)Whitnie E.
This is the Irish version of Hooters, so guys seem to like this place. I came here to meet some out-of-towners staying downtown for a drink and had a good time. The service was friendly, if a bit sporadic. We ended up playing quite a few rounds of Buck Hunter and drinking a few rounds of beer. We also bought shots and I was amazed when I closed my tab and realized how cheap they were. I had bought the same exact shots for the same amount of people at Kilroy's earlier and spent double. It was also nice as it wasn't as crowded as Kilroy's and we could make it up to the bar and order drinks with ease.
(3)Chirag P.
The service in the dining area was bad with just a few tables filled, but the packed bar had much better service, so I'd suggest sitting there if possible. The food was good and the drinks were great... tried a banana liquor and YooHoo shot (yep you read that right). And of course being that it's a "breastaurant" I will say I was quite impressed with the talent of the staff... beautiful ladies all over the place, which I apologize in advance, I was not expecting at a Tilted Kilt in downtown Indy. They also had a DJ that night (Thursday) which turned out to be fun, since once the games were done on TV, it provided some entertainment.
(3)Scott D.
The short and sweet is that the service was excellent but the food was below average. We went on Sunday morning of a Colts game, which means it's very busy. We were actually expecting bad service, but were very impressed with our server, Gail. She was very attentive to our needs and even if there was a bar or kitchen delay, she was always keeping us updated. Atmosphere was great. Besides the obvious reason why most men come here, it's very loud, but that's fine with us - especially considering how crowded it was. Lots of TV's abd beautiful waitresses with plenty of things going on to satisfy my ADD. Food was a big letdown. I had the basic chicken wrap with a sauce. The flavor was average, but it was cold, which just takes the ability for me to enjoy food right out of the equation. I also had one of those terrible end pieces of chewy, fatty chicken in my wrap. Fries were cold and tasted stale. I am guessing it had been sitting awhile before we received it. Gail did everything right and made sure everything was ok - but I didn't have the heart to tell her anything bad about the food. It appears they have runners that bring out the food, so I dont think it was her fault if our food sat in a window for awhile.. We didn't want to make her life more difficult since we knew she was swamped. Overall a pretty good experience and with a pleasant meal, it would have been a 5/5. Who are we kidding, though? Next time I am Indy for a Colts game, I will be back.
(3)Jamil P.
The location of the Bar was really Convieniet, but the drinks were extremely watered down. I guess this is why so many people purchased bottles of beer. I also notice how all the women were dress very sexy. Matter fact you can't but help see all the women breast and butts. So don't go with your girlfriend if she a jealous woman. Overall I loved their boneless buffalo wings.
(2)Jason O.
We stopped by TK for lunch and I have to say that from the reviews maybe it's totally different at night. It was busy but service was friendly and quick and actually our waitress was really patient while we waited on one straggler from our party to come. I ordered the fish, which I have had before and traded out the fries for a side salad. Both the food and service was great and we will certainly be back.
(4)Joe F.
What a let down ! Very long wait for service. The food was bland. The outfits dont make up for the poor quality. Great location though .. eat before you go !!
(1)Mike E.
The service was probably the worst I have ever seen. No one wanted to take our order, we had to wave down the manager to put our order in. When the food finally came, the waitress dropped it off and left. Walked away without asking us for refills? No napkins?? I had to get up and find someone to get me napkins. I turned the corner and headed into another section if the restaurant to find 6 servers in a circle having a conversation while the customers were being ignored. Do the girls think because they dress in skimpy outfits that the customers have to put up with this service? The cleavage, tattoos and piercings didn't make up for the lack of brains and service skills....
(1)Eddie C.
Like others before me I stumbled into Tilted Kilt just to watch the game. First time there and they did a good job converting the Old Jillians. It was a Friday night and surprisingly there were still some seats available in the bar area. There were 4 TVs on either side of the bar, and I'd argue it's a better place to watch a game than Kilroy's (where you have to seat strategically to see the TV). The service was alright,: the bartender changed the channel for us and the waitresses weren't airheads that they appeared to be (though you can stumped them w/ questions about the beer selection like a friend did). The draft beers were slightly pricey ($6) but not out of line. Only drawback is that they don't carry local brews on tap. They do, however, have cheap beers like Busch or PBR to remind you of your college days.
(3)Zach Z.
Basically a new version of Hooters. The only difference is, fresher outfits, more TVs, larger drink selection. The food quality is similar to that of a Hooters, Rock Bottom etc. A great place to hang out with friends or watch a game, not the place to go with kids or for a delicious meal.
(3)Shaun H.
It started out ok. I traveled to Indy from out of state to visit with my brother who I hadn't seen in 7 years. We were having a great time and the girl working the bar was a lot of fun. He asked to take her picture and she gave him permission. However, about 80 feet back were two girls who had seen him take the photos. They immediately approached him and demanded that because he did not ask their permission too, he needed to delete them pics (who by the way were barely visible). No problem.. he was very apologetic and showed them that he'd promptly removed the pics. They left and not 1 minute passed and the manager approached him and demanded that he hand over his phone. He rightfully refused and explained that the pics were removed - and had shown the rather arrogant girls that it had been done. The manager became agitated and told us to leave... Which by this time, we had one food out the door. Here is the crazy part.. I hadn't seem in a long time, so I asked the bartender what the most expensive stuff they had was. We had a few glasses of Johnny Walker Blue (not the best, but it works).. And we were far from being drunk or obnoxious. If the manager hasn't been so consumed in asserting that the girls make the money and realize that the customers actually make them money... He might have behaved differently. This is the only time my brother or I had ever been treated in such a way, especially for something so innocent. So, no.. Never going back and blowing a few hundred bucks in this place. Hope the owners read this and rethink policies and whom they hire to enforce them. Terrible and humiliating experience. Too bad that I can't give less than 1 star. Titled Kilt Indianapolis!!! You're FIRED!
(1)Sarah L.
Wow. Was in Indy for work and we ended up here late night after we landed. Typical food, typical drinks. A bunch of gross men ogling the half naked waitresses. Out of desperation, we went back on Sunday to watch football. The biggest annoyance to me, besides the fact that I was the only woman in their whose boobs weren't popping out of her shirt, was that we asked for a certain game 30 minutes before it started. And out of the multiple tvs in that place, they still turned it on late and wouldn't give us any volume. Then when we asked about it again - the waitress actually got annoyed at us. Listen people, you're a pretend sports bar. At least get the sports part right.
(1)Robbie R.
First off 5 stars for service. Our server Jaclyn was on top of it! We went on Saturday around 9 p.m. and the place was packed but she treated us as though we were the only table there. We started with the spinach dip. If your even considering it skip it. It was bland, flavorless and had a funny texture to it. Then we moved on to some burgers. I had the Blue Burger and garlic fries. The burger was cooked perfectly with lots of blue cheese crumbles and fried onions but the bun was cold and the fries were cold. However Jaclyn was there within a minute of us getting our burgers and she got me a fresh order of fries right away. The fries were probably the best thing I had there. I would go back for the burger (if they start warming or grilling the buns), fries and especially service.
(3)Jeremiah W.
Went to Tilted Kilt for a lunch meeting. Not my choice. I have eaten there before and wasn't really impressed with their food. I decided to try something new and went with the Chicken Caesar Wrap. It wasn't even good enough to eat all of it. Kind of a let down and left hungry. Although what I had today was just average, I will have to say that our server and the trainee were fantastic. Too distracted from the bad wrap to remember their names. The girls were fantastic at making sure we were taken care of and had everything that we needed. Don't let the lack of clothing fool you, the girls had amazing customer service and could actually have decent conversation. In this situation the customer service made up for the bad wrap.
(3)Louis D.
The only reason you should ever go here is if you're with a group of dudes and have no interest whatsoever picking up on single women. This is Hooters British version, kind of like Benny Hill would approve. I went here twice. The bartender was nice enough but not very attentive and as a single dude at the bar, you'll find yourself sitting alone for long stretches wondering why you're here besides the sporadic eye candy of waitresses walking by. Sometimes there's a dude bartender in kilt. Why? That would be like Hooter's having some dude bartender with short shorts. It just made no sense to me, but then again Indianapolis, your Hooter's sucked even worse and I'll be writing up a review on that soon. The food was boring typical British Disneyland stuff like fish and chips, but they lacked boxtys and pasties, real British food, not what you yanks think Brits only eat. Like curry. A real Brit eats lamb and curry. A fake Brit eats fish and chips. This place didn't even have Carlsberg. Seriously.

I went here for the first time last night with my boyfriend, it was actually my idea to try it. Being a female, I expected not to like this place because of the Scottish version of a Hooters uniform. Aside from all the boobs hanging out on the ditzy waitresses, I enjoyed my visit here. Atmosphere: This place is really nice on the inside, they totally upgraded what used to be Jillians and it is nice and clean now. There are a ton of TVs that you can see easily- instead of Kilroy's where you have to be smack in front of the TV! There are a good 12 TVs around the main bar, so it's a good place to watch a game. There seemed to be a bar area with tables and then a more dining room area. It could definitely accommodate groups of people. Service: Couldn't figure out the waitress situation (we were sitting at a table in the bar area), because I had to go ask the hostess if we had a waitress or not (we had seated ourselves and no one ever approached our table). The waitress arrives at our table in her skimpy outfit, and sits in one of the chairs at our table. I hate when they do this at restaurants! She then proceeds to introduce herself and shakes our hands. Weird, we're not in the boardroom- this seems like a very formal gesture for someone who is wearing a little more than a bathing suit to be partaking in. After that our service was decent, however I did have to explain to the waitress twice that she rung my drinks up incorrectly and that my whiskey sours did in fact have Jim Beam in them and therefore fell under the special price for Jim Beam drinks... she fixed it- but it took a bit. Maybe they just need more training? Or the manager needs to hire people with waitress experience and not just if they have a nice body? Just my opinion on that... Food: Both of us enjoyed our meals, I a veggie flatbread pizza and he had a philly cheesesteak sandwich. They seemed to have mostly bar food-sandwiches, apps, burgers, and had a few different flatbread pizza choices. Then they had the random meal meals like they're trying to be a real restaurant and not a bar type. Yeah right, like i'm going to order a steak or fish from this place?
(3)Nick F.
About heat you'd expect. Good beer options, my flatbread pizza was great, flat screen TVs covering every wall. I'll take it!
(4)Robert S.
If you like mediocre chain food with waitresses in short skirts, you will like this place. Think Hooters gone Scottish.
(2)Jeffrey F.
I have had mixed experiences at the Kilt- First off let's go positive- the bar staff that has taken care of me- pretty great- good recomendations, easy to deal with, always smiling and laughing! Also positive, the food and most of the drink specials. Negatives- Having to stand outside because they are at capacity on a random Saturday in January at 9 o'clock at night- find hard to believe since there was plenty of room to stand and seats open, just not open tables. Second negative- one night when out bartender was cut- no one took care of us for half an hour- finally offered money to pay to a random who walked by and no one checked us out. Talked to manager who could have cared less. I will probably give it another try, have been 3 times so far, but not sure it will come one of my regular stops.

My roommmate and I both enjoy going to new places for lunch and dinner throughout Indy. Her and I went into the Indy location after softball practice for dinner and drinks. The host was pleasant and then it was downhill from there. It took six mintues for a server to greet us. She took the drink, app, and dinner order at once since we had plenty of time to look it over (though no complete list of draft beers and she didn't know what was served either). I ordered Smithwick's and she came back and said they were out. That's fine except for the other negatives added to a bad dinner experience. We were served our app with no plates or napkins and they app wasn't the greatest. Garlic parm fries the fries on the outside were regular fries the ones in the middle soaked and covered. The server came by and we asked for napkins but she forgot. We eventually stole some from another table. While this was happening a table of four by us who sat down a few mintues after us still had not been greeted and eventually they got up and left. Though our dinner came quickly the girl that brought it who wasn't our server took our app though it was still not finished without asking and just dropped of the food and said nothing. The server didn't come around so I went to the bar so I could get another drink and a slice of lemon for my fish n' chips that I assumed came with a lemon. However After spending a few mintues staning at the bar with cash in hand watching the bartender, server, barback, and what apperaed to be a manager too busy watching a cheerleader competion on tv. I set back done at the table. Eventually our server came back and I ordered another drink and a lemon. The meatloaf sandwhich my roommate had was tastleless, burnt, and dry. The fish I had was mushy. We got the billed and paid and even tipped because at least she wasn't the most attentive she was polite at least. We didn't recieve an itemized bill which was weired and wondered why it was $46 dollars. I guess 2 captain and cokes and a draft magner's hard cider was $20. Which is fine but most places have an itemized bill with the credit card slip. The tall guy with black pants and a polo shirt carrying a stick and flirting with the servers was outside as we walked out so I said that we should of went to the claddagh Irish pub across the street loud just in case he was the manager but he didn't say anything. Good thing girls are showing skin and sitting and flirting with the lonely guys so you'll have some repeat customers.

This place has so much potential, but it ended up sucking incredibly hard. Great layout, lots of TV s for the games, but someone hired an incredibly bad DJ, playing way too loud hip hop that managed to clear out the entire place. We couldn't even hear each other across our 3 foot table. We went in thinking it would be a good time to watch the game & have a couple beers, as it's listed as a sports pub, not a hip hop club. For such a prime location it should be packed on a Saturday night, but the DJ made sure no one wanted to stay more then one drink. We tried to order food, but they ran out of menus (Really, RAN OUT OF MENUES!!!) So we couldn't order anything. Even if we wanted to order anyting, the waitress came by once in 30 min, in an almost empty establishment, so we couldn't order even if we wanted to and left as soon as possible. This place would be good without the DJ & if we could have ordered food. We went to Claddagh Irish Pub across the street & it was much better.

Good beer, good food, lively atmosphere, but maybe not somewhere you want to take your kids. Kind of like an Irish Hooters, I wasn't expecting that.

Sit at the bar for best service and to receive your order accurately. Food and drinks are always great! Again, go to the bar not a table. I'm 100 for 100 having great food drink at bar. I'm 2 of 30 at table.

No complaints. A good place for some drinks and bringing the ladies.

Karen took our order at the bar. My girlfriend tried to order from her THREE different times and she laughed in her face and walked away. Terrible service on New Years Eve when I expected at least a good experience my first time at the bar. Won't be back here ever. Too rude.

Trued to get into kilroys but they had a line. The tilted kilt dud the job. We were able to watch two of the big games simultaneously and the waitresses were on point. Not sure about the uniforms, felt like I was at an Irish hooters. These girls were breaking up fights too? Don't they have bouncers? Well, biggest draft beer I have seen. No line for the bathroom and they were busy. All good!

Love the turkey burger and sweet potato fries. Best part is the sauces. Cayenne ranch and mustard ranch are the best to dip fries. We always ask for Rachel. She is a hottie, but also very intelligent which is a breath of fresh air. I eat there once a week and can't wait to come back in next week.

Food is AMAZING; chef seriously kicks butt! Staff is personable and prompt. Prices are reasonable and atmosphere is fun. Can be a little bit loud, but it's a sports bar downtown... It's exactly the atmosphere you would expect. A great place to hang out and grab a bite or just a beer!

I've been trashed at TK the last 2 Mondays, so I guess I'm a fan. The food isn't world class, but its decent, which puts it significantly ahead of neighboring Hooters. They have 1/2 price drinks on Mondays. Lots of talent working....just don't ask the bartenders to for their own personal specialty shot, or something that only they make...you'll stump the bejesus out of them. But hey, they're hot....so if you just want a beer and a basic dinner, its a great place to go. The first Monday I was there, we kinda had 2 waitresses...and both of them were very very friendly and nice to look at. Its clean and has a lot of TVs, at least its worth a try.

If you like having to flag a waitress/bartender down to get some service, then go here. After waiting to have our order taken, and waiting for drinks, and waiting for re-fills, we then had to wait for the bill. And I'm not talking a few minutes - I'm talking 20 minutes of not seeing our waitress. We eventually gave up on finding her ourselves and flagged another waitress down to help us. The restarant was NOT busy this day either, 20 other people there at most. Thumbs down.

"Hooters" with tartan skirts instead of orange shorts.
(2)Sarah C.
Went to this restaurant after hearing wonderful Review from my fiancee. We sat as the bar the bartender asked what we where having we ordered and she asked if we wanted a tab we said no and ordered an order of pretzels she gave us the ticket and after our order came out she walked away and never came back.
(2)Ben K.
Cheap beer, I guess? Food is average. Whole thing feels like a, somehow, even tackier Hooters.
(1)Jackie T.
Sat in the bar and three different waitresses walked by and NEVER even met our gaze! The place was not busy and now I know why! We walked out and will NEVER go back!
(1)Jessica D.
Rudest service I've ever experienced!!! We were there after the Monumental Marathon with a group of ten. We sat at 2 tables in the bar and the waitress refused to wait on us, we were told to go to the bar and get drinks ourselves.
(1)Ashley M.
This place is OK for what it is, a themed eatery of fried things and beer where people can pretend their scantily clad waitress is actually into them. Their food is decent. They have good beer mixed drinks. Their service is unremarkable; not poor enough to notice nor excellent enough to take note. Extra bonus for them, they treated Gen Con attendees very well (which is probably the only reason I rate them at 3 stars instead of 2).

When someone thought up "Hooters" original concept, this might have been the perfected product. This isn't a perfect world, but damn...Tilted Kilt Pub is out of this world! The servers are all wearing scantily clad skirts and tops to resemble Scotland. No bigger than the dinner napkins on the table of this establishment. Fake skin tone, fake and overly exaggerated tatas, lips, and hair. Oh yeah...and that Eu De Baby Hooker perfume scent that followed them around. And it wasnt a strip club! A "strict uniform code" appears to be heavily enforced for the staff. Don't "fit" the bill, and you're outon your way down the street...to "Hooters". Felt like a place where you'd see a pole in the center and dollars around it. But it wasnt. No sir. This was a bar and restaurant. I recommend the Shepard Pie. Meat and potato dish at its finest. Literally...all meat and mashed potato in a personal deep dish pot. Yum! The waitresses here know how to work it to get tips. Down to the reciept where she personally took the time to draw a heart for you next to her name. Haha! Genius! Food: Greasy, American/European fusion Service: FRIENDLY Price: Not bad Would come again: definately
(5)Mitch W.
Not impressed. We had 6 people in our group and not one of us could finish our drinks. They were not made well and my beer was room temperature. We were going to order food but since we weren't quick about it we lost our menus to another table that I guess look hungrier than we did. They had a do playing awful music during a game we wanted to watch so after waiting another 20-25 minutes for our check (and almost just leaving) we took our business elsewhere.
(1)John T.
Was hoping to have the same great experience there with service and food that we did the last time. Very disappointed when we sat in the bar area, no one ever came by to see what we like to drink or so much as introduce themselves as our server! Waited over 10 minutes and it WAS NOT busy at all. Maybe short in staff, but c'mon man, it's not hard at least to stop by and say "welcome, I'll be right back with you"! Very disappointed
(1)Robert P.
Service sucks and VERY slow walked out 30 minutes after ordering with still no food or drinks
(1)Ron S.
Courtney and Mel were both very attentive so I'd definitely say the service was awesome!!! When I sat down I was immediately waited on and they had my food and drink out in no time!! They were both very friendly and even one of their managers Crystal took time out of her busy schedule to sit down and talk with me and make sure I was a satisfied customer! I would totally recommend the food, service and atmosphere!! Ron
(5)Ben J.
I stopped back in for lunch a few days ago. It was busy, but not insanely packed. My server (Christine) was on top of it, and super friendly. Got a Caesar salad that was pretty decent and a huge portion. No drinks since I had to go back to work though... This time, I was definitely more impressed with the service. The food is good, and the pricing was fair.
(4)Manny G.
Sat at the bar tonight to watch football and the bartender spent more time chatting with the other staff than helping clients. She then served 3 people, all of whom came in after me. After nearly 10 minutes of waiting I gave up. I wanted to mention something to the manager, but after waiting for a while at the hostess stand I had enough... The service at the Yard House around the corner is much better!
(1)Erik F.
The food is generally good, but the service could be a lot better. The was much better when it opened but lately it is slacking. Longer wait times until a waitress comes to take orders and can be difficult at times to get a drink refill. The restaurant is generally clean as are the restrooms.
(3)Lindsay P.
While the food and service are probably not the two reasons one would visit a place such as this, those are the 2 reasons why I would not return. Both are lousy. It's hard to find a server that knows her beer menu (most are not 21 yet and don't know what beer means) and you have to go to the bar anyhow just to see what is available (she seriously told me to check the bar instead of volunteering herself to earn her tip and see what her restaurant serves). Sorry girls, but you've got to provide better service to those of us that aren't interested in checking out your rack. Besides that, they were out of the one appetizer I was interested in (pretzel bites) so we resorted to the nachos. Not bad if you like canned nacho cheese. But certainly not in the ballpark of Rock Bottom's nachos. Consider this a more modern Hooters and do yourself a favor; if you're looking for great food and service, try any other place downtown but this one.
(2)Katie G.
Went here a few weeks ago after a tagged along on a bachelor party. I just wanted to use the bathroom, but someone in my group thought it would be funny to stay for a drink. I'm pretty sure the waitress was, hmm, on something? Maybe high? Long story short, nothing we ordered made any sense to the waitress (dark ale, Black and Soda) and when to started to leave because it was taking too long to get our drinks, she offered to put in our order.
(1)Jennifer N.
I have heard of Tilted Kilt and decided to give it a whirl. Yes I know it's like that other place where the waitresses where scantly clad clothing but guess what it does not bother me I am here to eat dinner not worry about what people are wearing. The food was delicious and the drinks were half-priced thanks to happy hour and the staff was super friendly! I will be back if I am ever back in the Indy area again. Thumbs up!
(4)John K.
This place really is just another Hooters..... With better food and a much better beer selection. And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that this is a bad thing.... It's definitly a good place to watch the game; I don't think there's any spot in the place that doesn't have a view of at least 4 TV's. It does get very loud and busy though, so be warned, if you don't mind waiting a few extra minutes for your beer or food you'll be fine.....
(3)Mike S.
I realize I don't have tits, but I have a wallet and thirst. There's no reason why 3 bartenders should walk by my empty glass 8 times each without asking if I want another drink. This place is abysmal.
(1)MJ W.
My buddy from NY was in town visiting his parents and he wanted to go to TK for lunch. Service was expedient today, very fast considering we sat down at the only open table. I got my usual fish tacos which were wonderful. I saw Crystal R floating around, but she didn't get to our table. I know she reads these reviews and listens to her customers well, so hi Crystal R! Morgan was our waitress and she did a great job, glasses were never empty and food came out quick and hot. The price is fair. As far as I know, the only places to get good fish tacos downtown are Mesh & Adobo grill, both are priced much higher than TK for lunch. I'll be back again to get my fish taco fix.
(5)Joshua R.
I've been to three different Tilted Kilts now and one thing is always consistent: whether there are a couple hundred people there or a couple people there, the service always sucks. Good beer selection, mediocre food at best, relies on boobs to succeed, etc. You know the drill.
(2)Garrett S.
Tilted Kilt has a great location in the heart of Indianapolis. While the service can sometime leave something to be desired, the staff are pretty friendly. It's a nice bar to watch a sports game in though, lots of TVs
(3)Ed S.
Had lunch here today with a friend. Service and follow-up were great. Food was OK, too.... I had the club sandwich with fries. A little noisy for conversation, but then again, let's be truthful.... that's not really the reason why guys visit Tilted Kilt. Nice place for an occasional sit-down lunch outside of the office or a pregame meal.
(3)Brett S.
The food and Service was excellent. Grace was an exceptional waitress and the food was great. Far more than I expected
(5)Kevin Z.
Drank here 4 of the 7 nights I spent while in Indy. Lots of good scenary & they have bar specials everyday of the week. Watched a UFC fight for free, which is hard to find downtown or anywhere else. The food is typical bar food, burgers, fried foods, etc. I had the BBQ Guinness burger which sounded amazing, but ended up being so so. The wings were much better than Hooters though and very close to Buffalo Wild Wings. I recommend you sit at the bar for quicker service & more interaction w/ staff & socialites. They do have a dj that plays music on various nights, but no one dances & the dj does not mix, just plays whatever he likes loudly.
(4)Sarah G.
Why did I end up here? Oh right, because I relinquished control to a group of guys out on the town after a conference... It was a Thursday evening, late at night, and the place was dead. Surprisingly though it proved somewhat impossible to get a drink without actually going up to the bar (apparently the staff had enough of serving tables for the night?) a cross between a hooters and a creepy catholic school girl fetish, the 'uniforms' are either the best or worst part, depending on your point of view. food was pretty standard fried fare and they had some beers for sale. nothing too special here. at least hooters has that amazing chicken sandwich going for them (though I still don't go there for a plethora of other reasons). Hilarious sidenote, as we were leaving I snapped a shot of their thermostat which had a setpoint of 63 degrees F. It was a brisk 71 in that place for sure, but no chance of 63.
(1)Richard W.
Went to eat here before going to a comedy show and was a very decent place to eat. The service was good, and of course any man would love the scenery. Food quality was on par with the prices, which were relatively cheap. Their sweet potato fried were very good. If you want a nice place downtown with good food and a fun atmosphere then you could find far worse. Obviously this is not a place for everyone but its fun and cheap and sometimes that can be a good combo.
(3)Angie S.
Poor service. Bad attitude. Wasn't allowed to use 15% off coupon. Bad form altogether. Not impressed at all. Won't be back.
(1)Terry A.
Sorry, but a Celtic themed restaurant that does not pour a proper pint of Guinness is lucky to even get one star. I was here on St. Patrick's Day weekend, and the bar was pretty quiet after the Big 10 basketball tournament, no excuse for being lazy.
(1)Franklin D.
Went here on a Saturday night... not terrible. The short skirt/boobie shirt schtick is kind of distracting. They had a DJ while I was there, and he turned out to be pretty good. Lots of security staff. Wonder if they have security issues?
(3)Lauren L.
Meeeeeeehhhhhh. I can't believe they are bringing one of these to Carmel. The downtown experience was slow and we even had to leave our cash on the table because the waitress never came back. Which was ridiculous because the place was not crowded whatsoever! Not interested in going back.
(2)Kevin D.
This bar is exactly what it holds itself out to be, food is good the waitresses are friendly kids are welcome they are always quick to put on your game. This is one of my favorite downtown sports bars.
(5)Yang C.
After following our classmates to the bar next door, we realized that there was no reason to pay a cover over there when we could just go into this place. Walked in, went outside as they have a nice set up with chairs and the wholeshebang. Our waitress Olivia was very pleasant and nice. As we were a pretty mixed group, I think that this place was able to garner 4 stars because we got our drinks quick and there was more than enough space for all 15 or so of us to sit outside and enjoy ourselves after a long two days. Would I come back? I probably would make this a spot to stop by.
