This wasn't a bad review at all. I would consider this constructive criticism. They're barely a year old. The owner seems to be one who practices listening objectively. I'm sure they will become a staple.

I went there last year for a friend’s birthday.. it’s a nice quiet spot in downtown Indy.. I had the catfish,it was good. The atmosphere is great and they have a live band upstairs

I knew while he was having that beautiful conversation that he about to drag this place across the internet when the food came out. 😂😂 😂

Darius stays bragging and trying to be humble at the same time 😂😂😂

When I went to Blankus I met the young lady in the red dress Latoria. She has a lovely spirit. She definitely has a elegance about her too. She is lovely like that to EVERYONE❤

Aren't the salty greens on the plate the same ones you raved about in the rolls?

I would recommend anyone who wants to experience this restaurant to do it for themselves.

I’m tired of hearing about the salt. Sounds like you eat too much salt but if you want some, ask for a salt shaker and spring on your own. I’m sure some restaurants don’t want to oversalt their food. After all, if the customer wants it, they can put extra salt on it themselves. Get over it.

How could you say they love interrupting you, if they’re simpling checking on you? If they didn’t check in you would’ve said the service was bad

Hi Darius I live in Indianapolis and consider myself somewhat of a foodie I had never seen a food review that you add posted until recently and I found it quite interesting. Before I pass City judgment I decided to do a little research on who you were add your credentials for reviewing the service and food of various restaurants quite frankly I don't think that you have any well I may or may not agree with your professional opinion and professional I'm not sure is a word that should be used, I think it would be in your viewers best interest to try the restaurants for themselves and make up their own minds I wish you continued success and only have one suggestion if I may instead of trying to perpetrate someone with knowledge and class perhaps take a few classes on proper etiquette when dining out smacking your lips between each bite is neither professional or in good manners. And I would wager most people find it offensive good luck to you 19:12 19:13 19:14

I can't stand hair/feathers on my wings lmao.. But I would visit this spot definitely

Gritty grits was the drama 😂😂😅 but the food looked good lol

He is so petty🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏽‍♀️

Yes, you always like to pick things apart. If the food is good, just say it’s good.

Not me watching this at 8 am before getting out of bed

I like that the VP took a moment to speak. The place looks beautiful. I do hope they can make a few changes creatively. Creativity can make a change in traffic, and business revenue.

They must have figured he was coming because he was there for his other event. I just wish they didn't know. I like when he tastes before they can try and fix it up for him. I want to see service and know how food tastes on an everyday basis.

Girlfriend in that red dress has a mean walk, she putting a hurting on those stairs...

If you’re wanting good soul food why not visit an established restaurant such as His Place Eatery and Kountry Kitchen, there are far more spots to choose from, Mike Epps would have steered you in the right direction.

Gm Mr Williams, just my opinion , instead of eating out of the regular plates maybe use paper plates ,so you can donate the leftovers you have to a couple of homeless people that will really appreciate it instead of ordering all that food just to be tasted and thrown away 😮

Darius ur bringing back my love and urge to cook again I lost my love of cooking for far to long thank u

Hello darius....now days people dont want to work ... if they have a vice president 🤨 the restaurant should of had a concierge to greet you sense the young lady said she new you were coming also she should know the best seats not say you can sit anywhere....and make you feel comfortable...😮

I love your honesty. Peace

The place is beautiful. I would definitely go there and try the food myself.❤

The camera needs to be STILL...PLEASEEEEE! Thanks for the review, Darius.

Not him thinking he famous and special... Your NOT sir, sorry to bust your sweet bubble... Your a known food critic.... And honestly, nobody inside the restaurant industry truly likes food critics.... NOONE... BIG FACTS!!!

They are poised. My son in law (Chef Flacco) is in Birmingham at Yo Chef. Check them out if you make it there.

Have you ever eaten anywhere that was good an up to your standards? If so I would like to see that video 😊

I went there for a new years party. The food was good the chef was nice.

I never heard of him so I googled him. He seems to have had a lot going on. He could stand to be a tad bit more humble.

Those greens egg rolls be fire with that sauce 😋

You’re right about Indianapolis water, horrible!

Those glasses and shelves are dusty.

I'm in Indy and want to go here for dinner. Preferably when there is live entertainment. Its part of Mass Ave which has great restaurants.

Dude suspect

I live in Naptown. I didn't buy any good because it was brunch time but they didn't serve brunch on the menu.. so I left because I was expecting brunch food

Somebody is mad they dont have a upcale black-owned restaurant😂😂😂😂😂

The food presentation is lacking !

Blankus has fire chicken wings!

Can’t wait until these have a million views!!!

The pork chops, Mac and cheese does not look good. Your description was correct

Hey Darius ♥️☕️‼️

Hopefull they will take what you say and improve.

Saying hello from Chicago Illinois 👍 16th and Kedzie🎉The West Side of Chicago Illinois 🙏

It was ok when I went 7 out of 10

I don't understand why you went to a restaurant in the city where the owner is from Atlanta.. but yea the water is NOT good. And for me ATL grits is gritty .. should've went to Spoke and Steele for shrimp n grits.. Best in the city

You love salt so how is anything salty to you.

Ok now BIG FAMOUS SISSY!

Damn , the page switch on me and I didn’t realize- that’s met Joe’s

Whats up D C

Good morning

Please come back to Memphis and visit you've been sauced by Will Smith

Some people can't have salt. You can always add salt. I have medical problems. So don't eat with a lot of salt

I feel like black owned spots always miss the mark with ambiance and the spaces always look like someones tacky remodeled basement from the mid 00s. How are huge TVs in random areas "luxury." The HomeGoods art and furniture isn't "luxury". Putting "Luxury" in the name of your establishment doesn't make it luxurious. Imagine a 3 star Michelin restaurant doing that.

Don't know about this place, let us know what you think of the food.

On the serious side, I feel like Joe’s wasting his money on producing any food products,ANY KIND. Perception is EVERYTHING and his is not favorable. Marketing has to be on point in order to work. I strongly advise him to do some kind of trial run before he invests in mass production. First give away a few and see how that goes- what the people are saying. It’s nothing worse than throwing good money out to bad.

The water is horrible ❤🤮🤢

If the majority of INDIANAPOLIS restaurant owners will listen, your food tastes horrible >(Except for Jamaican Breeze Sports Bar & Grill, Kalakutah Republic Grill West African Restaurant, King Ribs on 16th street & Sullivans)< because the water smells like mud and tastes like mud and chlorine.

I BELIEVE YOU. JUST LOOKING AT THAT SHIT I WAS LIKE THAT IS GOLDEN CORRAL LEVEL FOOD. LOOKING LIKE RUTHS CHRIS INSIDE BUT THE FOOD ON MCDONALDS LEVEL. GET THEM THE FUCK OUTTA HERE.
