    We used to frequent Kona Jacks often until a few years ago. Tonight was our first time trying Daddy Jack's and we were totally impressed. We enjoyed excellent shrimp cocktail. A very tasty sushi roll and filet steak. That was one of the best we've had and especially good for the price. Do yourself a favor and check out Daddy Jack's for a nice dinner with family and friends. Must mention, also, our server was phenomenal. We didn't want for anything. She was very attentive, friendly and efficient. 5 starts.

    The walleye is outstanding. And the alcoholic drinks are filled to the top of the tumbler.

    Daddy Jack’s is consistently excellent in terms of talented, loyal,long-serving staff and excellent food. Too many really excellent menu selections to list. I believe it is one of the truly excellent iconic restaurants of Indianapolis, IN

    Great food as always but service was very rushed. Check was brought before we had barely finished, and we wanted to order coffee. Maybe they were rushing due to shortage of help tonight? But we'll be back...a neighborhood favorite.

    I hadn’t been to Daddy Jacks in years. Nothing has changed. The food was fantastic and the prices are very reasonable. There’s a lot of menu option variety. My favorite part is knowing that this 64 year old restaurant staple with quaint decor was packed and seems to be thriving.
