Haven't actually found any good chinese in indy at all, we have PF changs but its overpriced in my opinion. Asked a good friend of ours who is chinese who used to live in indy if there were any good places, he pretty much said if we wanted better chinese we were gonna have to end up in chicago lol.

don't go for the fast foods and can't stand the buffets with everyone passing by breathing/spluttering over the food..ugh..nah I'll stick with Fuddruckers for the burgers and that's about it for the chain places....Mama's cafe here does a mean breakfast.. great crispy bacon and their biscuits are the best apart from my lovely MIL
