Gatsby's is a great local bar. They have plenty of TVs to watch football and basketball games. On Monday nights they have trivia. The atmosphere is extremely casual. We ordered the fried mushrooms and The Works, all meat, pizza. You get a lot of mushrooms in the basket. They were very good. We also like their pizza. It is a flat thinner type crust. It is more like a cracker crust. It is very good and some of the best in town, and our opinion. We visited on a Monday thank you when it was trivia night. It was also during the final four in basketball. The bar was packed. However, service was still excellent. Service was fast and our waitress was very friendly. The bill was accurate.

The sandwich was good. Not exceptional. I guess not ordering a alcoholic beverage means you're ignored. We shared a club sandwich but it took a while to get an extra plate though it was promised at delivery we didn't get it for awhile. Had to ask for forks as none were provided when we arrived. It was close to the hotel.

We ordered carry-out so I won't say much about how fast the food became cold and fried foods limp in the 30 minutes between the kitchen and eating it at home. That was not a Gatsby problem exactly. All that to say, you want the best experience from here, plan to eat at the restaurant. A big bonus of Gatsby's is their large variety of typical pub food to please anyone's request. My husband ordered onion rings and a chef salad. The toppings on the salad were abundant, plenty of meats. I had the gyro made with lamb, not always an Indiana choice, so I jumped at the chance to have it as authentic as possible.

Good food, good prices, great service. The facilities are a bit run down, but if you avoid the hallway with the restrooms this isn't that obvious.

Today, after my doctor's appointment, I just wanted a small appetizer to knock the edge off since I had several other errands today. Gatsby's has become one of my staples after my PCP or Rayus appointments since it's just across the street in the strip center behind Starbucks. I selected the basket of calamari, which was the perfect size to fill me up enough till early evening. It arrived very quickly, nice and hot. The calamari was lightly golden brown and not overcooked, which I appreciated. I know many people like a very crispy calamari, but I do prefer obviously cooked but lightly crispy. My server, Dee S., was terrific as always and checked on me several times. I've been coming in for many years, and she has become familiar with my habits and orders as all good servers do. The restaurant is decorated top to bottom in scary ghosts, hanging, bloody body parts, frightening Dracula's, skeletons, and well distributed spider webs, especially on the long mirror above the upper booths. There are actually dying, small tree limbs loaded with leaves and secured tightly to the ceiling, which provide a very authentic fall effect with the dried up leaves with the colorful hanging decor. Nice job, and your hard work is appreciated. Nice location to stop after work for a drink with friends. See you next time.

***THE BEST TENDERLOIN EVER*** This is a hand breaded tenderloin, not a frozen premade thing. The breading has great flavor. You really don't need anything else on it. They have a sports bar atmosphere, but recently added family seating. I've also had the Cuban and burgers, but the tenderloin is the best thing on the menu. They also offer pizza, quesadillas and a full bar.

We've been going to Gatsby's for lunch for a very long time, todays experience was different - I'm not sure if it was the oil or the cook but the food smelt burnt and the chicken was very dry. We even ordered our usual app of Fried Mushrooms but those smelled so off putting we were a bit weary but we all tried one and said "nope", luckily that was taken off the bill. It was very busy so I'm not sure if they were overwhelmed by the volume but the three of us agreed, not their best day but hey it's next to the job so we'll be back. My boss and I had the Fried Chicken Special, the chicken was so crackley and dry - I only got through the drumstick. My coworker went the safe route of a sandwich, his plate was clean!
