I honestly can't figure out why I have never been here? I have a distant memory of not liking the food but given that I didn't remember the bread I feel like maybe that was a fever dream?? Anyways stopped in for lunch with my brother and I was blown away by the food along with the quantity and quality. I got the maque choux with chicken and I could eat that for all time. What a time to be alive. I will now be frequenting Yats all the time.

The food and service are AWESOME. The decor and vibe is a bit weird, but I will stomach that for the FOOD. I split the Drunken Chicken and Crawfish Ettoufe. WOW! I think I would prefer the Drunken Chicken, but both were really good. The bread and their homemade butter spread were also fantastic! Parking is a little hard to find on the street, but we parked around the corner. Would definitely recommend and would come back next time we are in Indy!

Don't knock it until you try it!! We are Yats REGULARS and we encourage everyone we know to try it. We love the chili cheese etoufee and maque choux best. The bread is to die for, you always have to get extra! The staff are super friendly and the vibe is chill and cozy. We love yats and will always be regulars.

In Indy for a meeting near fair grounds. Googled places to eat. Found Yats. It's been over 15 years since I've had it. Disappointed that they didn't have jambalaya or gumbo, but very pleased with what I did get! Drunken chicken and maque choux! The BREAD...no wonder they asked if I wanted extra! Um YES please, but after I already had my two pieces!! And the cookie is to die for! And to say for an order at the counter establishment, service was fabulous! Thank you to your pleasantness and great service!!! Will be back!!!

We love Yats. Always the best quick take out meal with large portions and if you want to eat in, the ambience is warm and screams New Orleans! The rotating menu always has something new to offer. We absolutely love the bread and order extra everything time we go. The staff is always entertaining, energetic, and seems to enjoy working there. We love that place. Parking is questionable so you will have to find street parking on college or park at the fresh market across the street.

Want your taste buds to sing while wrapped in the vibes of New Orleans? This place is for you. Did I mention it is delicious AND affordable?? You can try any of the options on the menu before you order. The food always comes out quick and every meal comes with warm, buttery bread. This is my go-to place and worth braving the parking for. If you aren't coming here, you really are missing out.

After living in Indy for almost 5 years, I finally tried Yats and damn do I wish I tried it earlier!!! I knew a lot of people who love this place and now I understand why! There are numerous locations, but the restaurant on College is the original. I've never had Cajun food from NOLA before so I have nothing to compare it to, but regardless it was delicious! It's about $10 for a plate and the perfect lunch spot on a cold day. You can also order a larger size to take home. The service is happy and helpful! I'm pretty sure I saw the founder/owner of Yats cooking himself in the kitchen. (Pretty sure it was him because his face is in all the photos on the walls!) Seeing him back there with his sleeves up really made it a pleasant "ma and pa" type experience. In the photo, I ordered half drunken chicken (left) and half cheese chili with crawfish (right). It comes on a bed of rice and two slices of bread!

I have been here too many times to count. For some reason I find myself craving it within the hour before they close. Me and a lot of other people based on how crowded they always are at that time. They understood the assignment! Focus on one thing, do it right, and they will come. etoufee + rice + bread + hot sauce = game on! The space is smaller with an eclectic New Orleans décor. And every time I have been here, no matter who was working the counter, no matter how busy they were, they have always been so darn nice, and just really friendly. I have come in to place an order and they will tell me they are running behind or backed up and want to make sure I knew there would be a wait. It has never been that long and the food is ALWAYS worth it. I have been to MANY locations and the broadripple location is the best. They are not skimpy on their portions and always nice!

Highly recommend! 5/5 The portion sizes are super generous and balanced between rice, entree and bread. Absolutely an option for a lunch on the go- this has consistently been ready in less than 5 minutes during the lunch hour. Depth of flavor and the worlds best bread! Consistent across locations!
