Scottys Brewhouse

Quickie Review: From good to food to good brew, Scotty’s is perfect for all occasions.
When they first opened up here in place of Devour I think everyone felt like it was a welcome change. The pork tenderloin was love at first bite and ever since trying something new like the pizza it’s always been great. For me the service is always great and I’m happy to say Scotty’s is in my top 3 go to places. Scott Wise is a great guy and I commend him on being able to operate a successful business for Indiana keeping our taste buds local!

Scotty Brewhouse was recommended to me since I’m from out of town.
Macabe the bartender was awesome, he knows his beers well along with food recommendations.
I came in for lunch on a Wednesday had the .75 wings with spicy BBQ, and loaded cheese fries. Seasonal Jolly Traveler beer.
By far the best wings I’ve ever had!!!

We’ve been here 3 times now. The first time, the waitress seemed to have an attitude, but our burgers were good. The second time, the service was good and so were our burgers. This last time, we had salads, burgers and wings. The salad was fine, the burgers were good and the wings were great! They have several types of sauce for the wings so don’t be afraid to ask for a sample before you order.

Short review this time. Simply put… Warning!!! Do not get a Moscow Mule here. Terrible. That’s all. I’m out.
Ok… Adding to my review. After waiting 10 minutes, they finally took a drink order and brought over a food menu. As you saw, the drink was terrible and 15 minutes later, they still haven’t come back to take our food order. There’s probably no more than 10 people at the bar, so it’s not like they are slammed or anything.
I see why they get 3 stars on Unilocal.Too bad… Not ready to throw in the towel just yet… Hoping this is just a fluke!

Scotty’s Brewhouse is a great place to grab a cold one in downtown Carmel.
I stopped in Scottys Brewhouse with at least a dozen of rowdy coworkers on a busy Thursday night to catch an NFL game and a light buzz. Scotty’s came through on both accounts. The service was spectacular; our server seemed to be on his A-​game through the night. For a watering hole Scotty’s makes high marks.
As far as the culinary offerings: I only tried the nachos which were a standard affair that was better than stadium nachos but offered no surprises and once the cheese hardened became boring, if not entirely lifeless.
I don’t know when my travels will bring be back to Carmel but I would be happy to have another craft brew while taking in a game at Scotty’s.

last 3 times the food has been great but the service has been slow to lousy. World class lousy. 30 minutes to get our bill, then I think the waitress left the building. Had to flag the manager down to finally pay. Another waitress brought me back my credit card. Tonight, 45 minutes after seating, we have water and a round of drinks for two.
Disappointing. I’ve come to expect more from Scotties.

Review with food/​drink pictures!

Meah. Food is way below average. I ordered spicy steak sandwich and tater tots, it wasn’t good, but it wasn’t terrible either. Would never want to eat there again. Great location though. I enjoyed the drinks, but this is not the spot that I’d be eager to go back to.

As an IU grad I have a soft spot for Scotty’s. I’ve been to most of the Indy locations, and I’m always very happy with the food, but some locations have better service than others.
This one doesn’t have the best service. It’s not all their fault because it’s constantly packed at night. When we go in there is almost always a wait, but the problem comes when the organization isn’t great and wait times aren’t accurate. Service has been slow the last couple times we’ve eaten here. It’s hard to get in and out in under an hour. Also, last time I was there I ordered the BBQ nachos, and they brought me the regular nachos. When I complained they asked if I was sure.
Luckily the food is still pretty great bar food. They have some awesome, not so healthy, salads. I love the bbq salad and the buffalo chicken salad (can’t remember the name). They have some very creative burgers. If you haven’t had the schuman special you are missing out. It’s a cheese burger with peanut butter, bacon and jalapeños. It is soooo good. Their waffle fries are excellent and get even better when they are loaded.
Even their beer is worth drinking. The stuff Thr3e Wisemen (the brewery owned by the same company) is putting out is good and pretty approachable for people coming in off the street. I will probably always be a fan of Scotty’s but this one needs to work on its service levels, especially in such a competitive market as Carmel.

Not one to complain, but I’ve had some pretty spotty service every time I’ve come here. I love the location and the place has a great patio spot on the Monon, but the service has shocked me several times.
I went to eat one evening around 9pm and there were maybe only two other occupied tables in the whole place. We sat down and got drinks and then the server came over and announced that it would be about an hour until we would get any food, then stared at us. We were confused because not everything on the menu requires cooking and even if everyone there had ordered at once it still could not have taken that long. We finally just said «I guess we should leave?» And the server didn’t respond… So we left– drinks still on the table and all. Maybe he just wanted to leave, we will never know.
The food is alright and like I said, the patio is great and in a very prime spot. All of this aside, just know you will probably get weird service but you will get your food eventually and maybe have a story to tell.

Scott’s drew me in as I walked down Carmel Indiana quaint downtown area. The menu seems to have plenty to choose from. And the photos make the dishes look great. I decided on the Blackened Tilapia over Dirty Rice. I must say it was perfectly prepared — nice portion of fish /​rice was tasty.
Only issue I had was as I continues to eat it was hotter and hotter! Wish it came with a pineapple mango chutney to help offset the heat. Got a cup of chicken & rice soup. Came out too hot and wasn’t ‘knock your socks off’ stuff but was not bad. Also got side of mac n cheese which was huge portion and once again average. Turned to a pile of mush after 10 minutes…
Now the beer.,. Good prices and yummy. I got the 3 beer sampler for $ 6. Each glass is 6 oz and allows you to try several.
Problem came with waitress and my bill. She was friendly at first as if it was a big focus of the chain. As time went on she seemed to get bothered & you can see the fakeness shine thru. For example– the entrée comes with a side (Mac n cheese) then it said for $ 1.99 more you can get soup! I read that as an add-​on but it really isn’t
Nuff said. Not too bad. Would go back. Get something that not so spicy hot

My husband went to school at IU, but that was like 10 years ago. When we started dating I would hear him and his family raving about Scotty’s and had no idea what they were talking about. Well, now I know.
I just started a new job and they are based in Carmel, IN. Lucky me. I have been able to experience Scotty’s not once, but 3 times! Every time the service and the food has been wonderful!
We were there for the 4^th of July and it was the perfect spot to watch Carmel’s fireworks and the $ 5 house margaritas weren’t a bad touch! Also, get the waffle fries, they’re the
!

I’m a huge supporter for local businesses but I can no longer invest my money and time at this particular location.
I’ve been to this Scotty’s 10 times and have yet to be satisfied with my experience and food. When I’m given a pick up time of 15 – 20 mins for to go orders and I have to wait an additional 7 – 10 mins it is very frustrating because of my limited time for lunch. 6 out of the 10 times I’ve ordered food there’s been something wrong with it whether it’s missing ingredients or wasn’t cooked properly.
It would also be a good thing to hand out the to go silverware without being opened and missing 2 of the 3 utensils in it as well.
I will not be returning to the Carmel location again, I’ve never had any of these issues at any of the other Scotty’s locations!!!

Food = ?
Price = ?
Experience = 0

Visited this Scotty’s location last night for the first time. Would say that in the future we’d be more inclined to go to the 96^th St location instead.
Arrived around 9pm, it wasn’t too busy, and we were seated outside; they have a really nice outdoor seating area. I had the Mofo cluck chicken lite sandwich with waffle fries. The grilled chicken and sauce was delicious. The bun was terrible. Realizing I got the «healthy» sandwich option, I thought that just meant I was getting a grilled chicken sandwich rather than deep fried. What it also meant was I got a bun that was not even a centimeter thick in total and fell apart when I cut my sandwich in half. Essentially it served as nothing more than a chicken holder so that my hands didn’t get covered in sauce. The waffle fries were great.
My wife had a mofo chicken wrap and ordered it with no tomato. Instead she got a wrap with no lettuce and TONS of tomato; she’s not a complainer so she just ate it. Further, she didn’t think it tasted right. She’d had the same thing at the 96^th street location a few weeks ago and found this version of the wrap difficult to eat. She had tater tots as a side, which in my opinion were junk. Not as good as the ones we make from the freezer occasionally. Granted, these tots were probably from the Scotty’s freezer.
Overall, a fine meal, just nothing worth returning for. The beer list at Scotty’s in general leaves something to be desired too. When we lived in Indy 4 – 5 years ago, Scotty’s always had great craft beers. Now they have 4 – 5 rotating taps and fill the rest of common swill and a bunch of their Three Wise men beers, which are nothing to write home about. Too bad.

We stopped in while visiting Indianapolis for the Final Four. The staff was amazingly friendly and attentive and made us feel like old friends. We truly appreciated just how friendly they were and the food matched the service as top shelf.
I tried the Burger of the Month: Indiana raised ground goat, blue cheese crumbles, red wine onion reduction with Garlic Parm Fries. It was very tasty! The goat was lean and flavorful and I would definitely order it again.
Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend Scott’s Brewhouse and the terrific staff!

Well, I picked it as you can park under ground and severe storms on their way.
It’s been many yrs since I visited a Scottys, DTN or 96^th as my last visit I returned my meal.
I had a cheese burger med rare, it was pretty good, for a side I guess I ordered the tots, as the only other things was shoe string fries. Which I don’t care for… So they weren’t that good.
Over all, it is not screaming at me to return anytime soon

There are many opportunities for a good buger, beer, and spot to chill in Downtown Carmel, but Scotty’s meets (and exceeds) a lot of these requirements better than most places. Let’s review:
The Food:
I have never had a bad burger from Scotty’s. There are so many different selections, that everyone is bound to be enticed by something. Every bit oozes with juicy meaty goodness and they are very good at pairing all of the meat with various spread.
My only complaints are that there are too many choices and the food is a bit on the expensive side for what you get. I have found myself confused at times and totally usure what I want to order, which is very off-​putting. I have, at times, been so frustrated by the menu that I just ordered a beer and split. Hopefully, an increase patronage will only serve to increase my confidence in my orders.
The Beer:
I love 3 Wise Men beer. It is brilliant and local, so I have no complaints. The growlers are well priced, so I highly recommend going for at least the beer.
The locale:
There is no better place than off the monon on Main Street in Carmel. The inside is very comfortable. The bar has great space for large groups or intimate couples and the restaurant seating is nice. It’s a place you can lose hours in.
Overall, I really like this location and I recommend trying it along with the other great restaurants in Downtown Carmel.

Big fan of Scotty’s Brewhouse.
Fridays have several drink specials including $ 25 3Wisemen 101oz towers. I recently split a 3Wisemen «The V» which is a blend of their Golden Zoe IPA and the Martyr Double IPA and it was awesome!
One of my favorite items on the Scotty’s menu are the wings (I really like boneless) and their MoFo Thai Peanut sauce. They finally brought it back this fall after what seemed like a decade of it being removed from the menu. The sauce is out of this world.
The only thing that kept this from being a 5 star review is the staff. The service is good but not excellent, and it always seems that our table is being served by someone in training or someone who has been at work for 12 hours.

It’s your typical Scotty’s. The one thing I can’t get past is how you get a rag as your napkin. I liken this to a gynecologist. Everyone thinks it’s a glamorous job because beautiful, err well-​maintained (?) women come to the gyno. Sadly, not the case. Although I know these rags are washed and likely more Eco-​friendly, to be honest, I really don’t care. I can’t eat wings and wipe my face thinking about the last person that used that rag. Thankfully it’s Carmel so I’ll sleep tonight and assume it’s a super hot Carmel House Wife, the same one going to the gyno on the regular.
The food is good and above your average sports bar. I get the buffalo chicken wrap which is neither here nor there. I generally think the food sounds tastier than it is, but definitely the best option out of Stacked Pickle and Pint Room.
The real winner are the pickles and the breadsticks. I don’t understand why you can’t upgrade to have the pickles as a side item. The waiter told me its a better value to just order the appetizer. No sir, it’s just more expensive. I see through this Ponzi scheme. You can pretty much upgrade to anything else (and many for a cost), so why not pickles. WHATS YOUR PRICE SCOTTY?
Drinks are weak. Take your drinking pants to Woody’s down the straight. I once spent $ 50 here and left sober. If I spend $ 50 at Woody’s, I’m en route to the Carmel hospital drunk dialing Toppers.
All jokes aside, the ranch is pretty fantastic. As are the tots. But show me ranch and tots you don’t like, and ill show you an idiot.
