    We chose to celebrate my birthday at MacNiven's this year. It had been a least 11 years since my last visit and that was too long. When I used to work downtown, MacNiven's was in our regular lunch rotation as it was a favorite of many in our office. In anticipation, visions of Macniven's past favorites danced in my head. Out of our party of 5, I was the only person with previous experience at the restaurant, but I had built up the mystique so much, there was pressure to deliver. We started off with the Scotch egg appetizer and we were not disappointed. It was terrific and paired well with spicy red pepper dipping sauce. Entrees included the plate-sized burger & fries, the Belhaven beer battered chicken sandwich, the Belhaven beer battered fish and chips, the steak pie with puff pastry topping, and my longtime favorite of the roast beef Machatten. Two of us opted for a side order of the onion rings that are more the size of a donut! Everyone was stuffed and well satisfied with their selections and we all agreed we should return more often. Kudos to Katie for just the right amount of service at just the right time. Oh, and if you are struggling to make a dessert selection, the chocolate fudge cake alamode is wonderful!

    We had the Vegetarian Curry, Clam chowder and Shrimp & Chips. Everything was excellent AND the owner brought the food out and told us a little about where he was from. Service was amazing. HIGHLY recommend

    My husband and I have been here twice from the recommendation of my parents! Both times super good food/drinks and the fastest service anywhere we have been and we travel everywhere! My husband got the fish and chips both times and loved them. I had the roast beef Manhattan first time which was wonderful and very filling and got the shrimp and chips the second time which are good and very filling as well. Their bread pudding was fantastic!! This last time we got the onion rings and some of the best we’ve eaten! So so good! Everyone has been nice and welcoming both times upon entering. If you need a hearty yummy meal and short on time, this is your place!

    Scottish American pub style restaurant. I ventured here thanks to Devour Indy. The food and atmosphere was great and very fast. Looked like there were local and non local beer types. There were some food options for people who might not like Scottish. Will definitely go back!

    Live nearby but never tried it because it always looked busy, and I haven't been impressed by the American options in Indy so far. Well, I was talking with someone who grew up in Columbus, IN, and she mentioned it, so we decided to try it on our walk down Mass Ave yesterday. What an amazing value. Appetizer, two entrees, and a dessert for $30! High quality for each course too. Signage on masks is very clear, and wait staff were professional.

    Pretty good Scottish food in the U.S. Will go back for sure next time we are in Indy. The service was good and food came out super fast. You get a whole lot of food for you money! Glad we found this place!

    A cool little restaurant/bar on Mass Ave. The atmosphere really nice. The Scottish eggs are to die for. The hamburger is different being rolled flat with Worcestershire sauce. The onion rings are think and tasty. Over all a very nice lunch.

    It has a pub feeling, but the dining area was rather loud. The (GIANT) onion rings were fantastic and filling. The mashed potatoes that came with the roast beef were delicious, but the sausage rolls were a bit bland and needed sauce.
