'Burb Bites: Grindstone Public House
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.
If you go: 100 N. 10th St.
