Welcome back to Burb Bites! A feature where the Axios Indianapolis team dishes out bite-sized dining recs from Indy's booming 'burbs.
This week, I've got a must-try recommendation for my fellow fried fruit fans.
The bite: Fried green tomatoes ($14), prime rib french dip ($20) and loaded mashed potatoes ($2 as a side upgrade, $6 a la carte) from Grindstone Public House.
The burb: Noblesville.
My take: Possibly my favorite fried green tomatoes not prepared by a family member. The light, crispy skin helped this undercard attraction steal the spotlight from the main event.
- They're hand-breaded and come topped with parmesan, parsley and chipotle ranch.
- Pro tip: Ask for more chipotle ranch because it's fantastic.
Tomato praise aside, the rest of the meal was excellent.
- The prime rib was shaved thin and piled high on my french dip. I paid an additional $2 to add mushrooms and onions, and the combo of creamy horseradish and savory au jus had me swimming in sauce options.
- Get ready for some truly Indiana-sized portions. You won't leave feeling hungry.
Fun fact: Claiming a cozy corner in downtown Noblesville, the restaurant operates out of the Historic Castor Building at the corner of Logan and 10th.
- Built in the 1890s, the building previously housed the Clark Supply House, and a mural of the Grindstone logo on the side of the structure pays respect to that history.
If you go: 100 N. 10th St.
- 11am-10pm Monday-Thursday, 11am-11pm Friday, 10am-11pm Saturday and 10am-9pm Sunday.
- Bunch menu served 10am-2pm Saturday and Sunday.
