Best locally-owned eateries in Indy

Angela Jorden: Skip the Bento Box and go straight for the sushi. Order the Crunch, Spider or Spicy Tuna Rolls and you will never be disappointed. This is the best sushi we've found on the north side.

Angela Jorden: Always get the sweet tea! It's the bomb at Maxine's. The chicken at Maxine's is without peer--smothered boneless and bone-in alike. Collard greens like your grandma made and peach butter to die for.

Angela Jorden: Creation Cafe is my favorite spot on the Canal. You cannot beat their homemade maple ginger dressing or the Caprese BLT. It's a little loud, but the energy is always positive.

Angela Jorden: Sometimes you just want comfort food like turkey Manhattans and meatloaf. This is the place to go. Parking is not always plentiful, but the service is fast and good.

Angela Jorden: I've never found better tamales. And the salsa and queso is highly addictive. Everything is made fresh every day, but you better get there early--not everything on the menu is there after noon.
