I love how on both this one but most notably on the Downtown one, a ton of reviews are from people who have moved away from Indy but still miss Yat's. This is one of them.

I've been looking forward to go this place based on many good reviews. The menu is simple (and limited), the price is reasonable - not really cheap for the quality of the food. It is $7 for a complete…

Yats rocks. You walk in and they've got 4-6 cauldrons full of your choices...which are written in sidewalk chalk on a blackboard. There's always something vegetarian, and a plate full of any of it…

On one of my first visits to Yat's I read one of the awards that they had posted up on the wall from Indianapolis Monthly, which proclaimed it the "best ugly lunch" place in town. The decor at Yat's…
