We have been to Ram about 4 times.  I love the Cheese burgers and sweet potato fries.  The fries were crisp and light.  Love the burger.  Service has always been good.  We had always gotten the frozen muddy buddies for desert, which we love...can not leave them go uneaten!  But then last time we were there, it was cold outside, so we opted for cheesecake instead of the ice cream treats we love.  The piece of Cheesecake  was large and high.  But, for some reason, it just didn't seem to have much flavor to it and I didn't care for the texture.  It seemed like it had been prepared elsewhere and shipped there.  We asked for Raspberry Cheesecake and got a nasty tasting Raspberry topping for the top.  It reminded me of the Cherry flavored cough syrup I hate.  Learned our lesson...will stick with Muddy Buddies and if it is cold, get coffee.  Oh, and also, this time we ordered an appetizer called Armadillo Eggs.  I was not thrilled with them.  They were ok.  Crisp on the outside with some sort of cream cheese and cheese/jalopeneos on the inside.  They were larger than I would like...couldn't really pop them in your mouth, and I did not care for the squishy  filling on the inside.   They did not go uneaten, but they were not my favorite.
Review Source:The Ram is so good and has a great selection of their own beers. I'm generally not a big beer drinker, but their Buttface Amber is so good, I have to have a mug of it whenever I'm there! The apps are great, especially the loaded waffle fries with garlic sour cream. The desserts are enormous so make sure you share them if you decide to get one!
My only aside would be that sometimes the special cocktails they have are generally not popular so when you order one, sometimes the bartender isn't sure how to make it. I haven't had a bad one, but that makes me nervous in general so stick with their beers.
I like the ambiance in the bar with the little booths all around. It's been a while since I've been and writing this makes me want to go back!
Nope, sorry, this establishment does nothing to rise above the shackles of its chain-y-ness. They manage to up the grease factor on a naturally greasy selection of ordinary bar food, which is abundant in central Indiana as everyone knows. Even the hummus plate, which is what I usually order, serves as a conduit for grease with its oily chips and pita bread. Other veg-friendly options include a salad wedge with Gorgonzola and pecans and a quesedilla that seems, oddly, to have been cross-bred with some bruscetta. They have lots of burger options, and those are reportedly greasy. I've been instructed to avoid the steak, but I can't imagine ordering steak at this kind of venue even if I ate red meat. Â
The servers are competent, but pretty no nonsense (read: not terribly friendly). I would be if I worked here too. My general policy would be to avoid The Ram, but it happens to be an after-practice destination for my teammates in the summer and I sometimes give in. $2 pints on Tuesdays are my consolation (try the porter). The ice cream cupcakes are kind of clever (mint chocolate chip and peanut butter come recommended by my teammates). The atmosphere fits in the mold of your brewery-chain-type dealies, i.e., Rock Bottom, Alcatrez, etc. Â So, basically, do it if you have to and you'll survive, but go almost anywhere else if you have a choice.
For a party of five celebrating a birthday on a weekend, we received very good service! Â The beers were fine and the food was judged as good or really good by all five party members. Â The atmosphere was judged to be a bit noisy by some in our crowd, and it was thus deemed to be a better venue for younger patrons who wouldn't mind the noise, etc.
The well prepared and enjoyed meal was topped off with an unexpected and complimentary birthday cake brought to us by the waitress (who had noticed the small gifts and cards but had not been given notice otherwise).
All in all, it was a very good experience that I would recommend to others. Â Again, you may want to consider the guests you are bringing with you for the venue, but the food menu and especially the custom beers did not disappoint on this particular trip.
The 4 of 5 rating was agreed upon by the 5 members of our party. Â We visited the Fishers, IN location on a Saturday night around 5:30pm.
Best lunch sirloin I have had, reasonably priced, great sides, and salad...professional staff, and the wine, albeit not the best, was perfect for the food choices, if you decide against the house brews.
It was a casual environment but still professional.
The staff was very friendly. It is on a main street downtown, and the mall is just a block or so away. It is walking distance from Colts Stadium.
Quite decent.
I have to give credit to the RAM for putting up with our party of ten people, however, I ordered the Dragon Berry mojito and it tasted like kids medicine which I told the waiter and gave it to my friend who will drink anything. They still charged for it and charged her instead. They also messed up on her drink order. There were a lot of issues with the bills but the food was still really good and I was starving. My suggestion though for them is to create a sauce or something for the sweet potato fries. This place has great Burgers and their other sandwhiches are good too. The armadillo eggs were good. The fried pickles were ok but Scottys Brewhouse makes them better. It was nice though that they allowed us to make a reservation since we had a large party as opposed to making us wait.
Review Source:The Armadillo eggs look good on the menu but are OK. Â The chesse in the middle is a little mealy. Â Service was very good and all the other food was good and a decent price.
I had grilled buffalo chicken salad and it was fine. Â The bread-stick, which I saved for last in an effort not to eat it it was hard and not good.
If you want to have the best time, go with friends and sit at the bar. Â they have some good home brews.
The beer at the Ram is pretty good. But the food is pretty mediocre. There are a couple servers at this location that are top notch, and we're usually lucky enough to get them since we pretty much always come in  on the same nights.
We have had a different server a couple times, and she was a bit slow and forgetful.
It's good for burgers, appetizers. The Alaskan BLTA is alright. The beer is pretty good. Tuesday night pint night is pretty tight ;)
It's usually freezing cold in here, too.
If you like beer and burger, this could be one of the places to go with friends. They have many kind of burgers, in addition to soup, salad, pork, chicken, and many more. The last time we went there, our server was very attentive and friendly. However, I found the quality of the food is just OK. Skip the breaded pork tenderloin and coleslaw as the side dish. Both were tasteless. Try their RAM chips instead - they taste good and are crispy. Â
The interior is different than the one downtown, but it basically has 2 different areas - bar and regular dining areas - both rooms have TVs. If you have kids, you may ask to seat at the table right next the kitchen. The kids can enjoy watching the cooks busy preparing the food for customers. Also, they have the promotion on Sunday : $1 Kids meal - that comes with carrots and ranch (for appetizer), drink (soda, milk, lemonade) and a scoop of Edy's ice cream. What a deal!!! This makes RAM a good place to go with family too.
The Ram used to be a great place to eat, especially on Sundays. But over the last several months, the food has gotten mediocre at best. The kitchen never gives enough fries, and whenever I ask for extra crispy, it usually just means "less soggy." A medium-well burger still comes out as well done.
Ram used to be one of my favorite places to go, and the only chain restaurant I would visit with any regularity. Now their food has gone from okay to fairly bad. The service is still good, but it's not enough to overcome the bad food.
I eat or drink here probably every three weeks or so, dining with the family, or drinking after hockey with the guys.
The menu is fairly simple, heavy on the burgers, but also seafood. The burgers are very good- big, cooked correctly to order, heaped with the toppings. Interesting little twists, like the sweet potato fries. The use of their beers in the sauces is another nice touch. I had shrimp fajitas tonight- could be spicier for my tastes, but plenty of pico & guac.
The staff has always been very great to my kids. Balloons every time. I like that they serve carrots to start, and best of all, even though the ice cream is included with the kids meals, the servers have generally been discreet enough to ask us about the desserts, and not the kids. Once they asked the kids. That's a pet peeve of mine. Sure- ask the kids if they want dessert. Nice.
We like the oversized booths, but they pop the A/C a little too high for my wife. Freeze babies are advised to bring a sweater!
After hockey, we sit on the bar side and have beers and appetizers. Good deals on Sunday nights on the appetizers. $2 pints on Thursdays. The beers are pretty average- on par with other brewpub chains, like Rock Bottom, not quite as good as local ones like Barley Island, but quite drinkable. I go for their Porter and IPA. Good bar chow in the appetizers. We make sure all the calories we burned on the ice are fully replaced. The loaded nachos are awesome. A meal by themselves.
Good space for viewing games. Not amazing, as the seating area gets too cramped during Colts games, and the screens aren't visible from every angle. But on average Sunday nights, the viewing is very good.
I read the other reviews, and while yes the soda prices are crazy high, we've never had a charge for a refill. I'd have questioned the server on that one.
This place looks like it has potential, but there were a laundry list of problems: the server looked like he just rolled out of bed and needed some gel and shave, dirty silverware, big old dry carrots for the kids, unhealthy buttered and toasted sandwich bread (what is this Arby's)? I can't see myself coming back here.
Review Source:$30 and two days later I'm still thinking this was a horrible choice for my lunk on Friday. The server was less than helpful, the food wasn't anything memorable and the drinks, I'm talking a diet coke, was like $2.47 each - and they charged for refills. Ouch.
I won't be going back for lunch... possibly ever, even for dinner.
