For my second burger test, a friend suggested I go to Broad Ripple Brewpub. It’s located on East 65th street, again right off of the Monon. The inside was pretty big, with old wooden interior. We sat outside because it was one of the first nice days of the season here in Indiana. There was quite a bit of traffic and even though it wasn’t the main strip in Broad Ripple, the area was very busy with a lot of cars and people walking by. There was also a restaurant/bar across the street where a live band started to play later in the day. If you are looking for a calm and relaxing place to enjoy your meal, I’d suggest sitting inside.
My server never did tell me her name. The beer selection was great and there were several different burgers on the menu to choose from. When I asked my server which burger was the best she went about telling me what she didn’t like about each burger which lowered my expectations a little. I decided to go ahead and get the Smoked Brisket Burger anyways.
The menu describes the brisket burger as, “In-house smoked beef brisket chopped and piled onto a bun with a healthy smear of pimento cheese then topped with applewood smoked bacon, sautéed red onions, and our southern style beer bbq sauce.” The burger actually tasted really good! It had a very smokey flavor and the bbq sauce was very flavorful. There did seem to be an awful lot of fat in the meat. It was also pretty messy because the chopped beef brisket kept falling off the bun. It wasn’t the cheapest menu either. With all of that being said, I give Broad Ripple Brewpub 3 stars out of 5.
