We’re a local Cajun Creole restaurant. It’s that simple. Yats’ food is New Orleans inspired sauces that are deeply satisfying with a touch of spice. All of our dishes are served over rice, plus you get a side of our toasted Cajun buttered bread! We also offer entrees that are gluten and dairy free. The bar features several favorite bottled beers, drafts from our “Bottoms Up” tap, and three wide screen TVs. Come and hang out with your friends, your family, and other people you love! We’re in the people business and we serve good food at an affordable
Laid-back, counter-serve chain restaurant specializing in hearty plates of New Orleans cuisine. Based on 343 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.5 stars. Price $

I love this place. I stop by whenever I’m in IN. They have several vegetarian items on the menu, and everything is good, but the bread is the best. Also, crystal hot sauce is my favorite.

The French bread is absolutely amazing! This isn’t true Cajun food but probably the closest you will find here. I felt that the prices were reasonable and the service wasn’t bad either. If nothing else, I’ll be returning for the bread.

Stopped in for lunch while scoping out apartments in Valpo. Loved the fast service and friendly conversation from Robyn – had the cheese etoufee and jambalaya – both tasty and they had three dollar abita beer specials to boot. For just over eight bucks, a huge plate of cajun food was delivered – and tasted pretty darn good for being in the midwest. Robyn explained that the owner hailed from the land of parishes instead of counties like up North, and even gave me some great tips for local brews. Great food and experience – check this place out.

The Yats of Indy has arrived in the Region! Great portions with friendly and menu-informed staff. They aren’t kidding when they describe the buttery bread served alongside their dishes.

I’ve been to this one, the one at ND and the one in Fishers. All are excellent and have their own feel. This one is rather large and bright. Nice touches throughout and plenty of outside setting for nice weather. The day I was there the guy running the place was excellent. More friendly than I like, but I’m an introvert. Service was excellent. red beans and sausage was great. Highly recommend.

The food was pretty good! I went back up to order more of their delicious bread. While waitting for my order I made small talk with the employee running the register. I was informed that the food is not actually cooked fresh there. It is simply frozen bagged, and warmed up for us. The bread is fresh… But that’s it.

I have to assume most people are rating the atmosphere (which is fun) or the bar which is huge. The food however is just gravies on white rice. Don’t get me wrong it’s not bad it’s OK but it’s nothing like true Cajun so don’t expect that. This is a college town bar restaurant for kids. Go there have fun and have a beer. Just don’t expect anything great. Personally, if I’m eating of a paper plate it should be in my back yard. Hey it looks like a fun place for the college kids though. Two stars for me isn’t terrible I’m very hard on restaurants. Most good restaurants to me are three stars.

We used to go frequently. Only vegan and 1 vegetarian choice. Neither were very good. The bread is still good and the reason for any stars. We won’t be back as even the meat eaters in our group were disappointed. Novelty gone and we want/except good food.

Great, knowledge, fun and friendly staff. LOVE the changing menu with the few staples. Amazing food quality and quantity for an amazingly low price! Dinner plates for 2, add on extras and 2 local craft beers…25.00. Can’t beat it.
