  I went for one reason, I heard the buffalo chicken sandwich was to die for and I confirm I went to heaven and I came back. I will be going there for all the hallway Colts games. Unfortunately they don't allow children so it's not a family friendly place but it's perfect for a date night or anytime you get a babysitter great prices great quality down to earth servers

  First, you should know this is a 21 and over bar. As you enter it's seat yourself at one of the numerous tables, booths or at the large U-shaped bar. Regardless of where you seat there's a flatscreen TV at every angle.  In the back area of the bar are 3 pool tables and an electronic dart board. The lighting is low, the music is average to loud and the food was good.
  
  The menu consists of Appetizers, Soups & Salads, Sandwiches, Burgers and Pizza. Available after 5 p.m. are Steaks and Entrees served with two sides (Filet Mignon, Ribeye, NY Strip, Pork Ribeye, Salmon or Loaded Chicken Steak). Their trying to switch their image from bar to restaurant. I'd say bar is fine as long as the food and drinks are good.
  
  We started off with the Flat Fried Pickles (8 long pieces) which is fresh, whole pickles sliced by hand, long and flat then hand-breaded and deep-fried. Tangy and really good with the chipotle ranch dressing for dipping.
  
  Lunch/Dinner for my husband was the Grilled Tenderloin with Cajun Coin Fries. The tenderloin was slightly larger than the bun so it wasn't abused, seasoned well and very tender. The generous portion of Coin fries had a decent amount of seasoning but were just a bit overcooked for our liking. Still very edible, just crispier than we care for.
  
  I ordered the Cajun Chicken Sandwich with Chicken Enchiladas Soup. I was pleasantly surprised how juicy and tender my sandwich was. I love Cajun seasoning which was generous and the pepper jack cheese complimented the cajun seasoning nicely. The Chicken Enchilada Soup, my side, was full of corn, black beans, chicken, spice and had just a hint of heat. Very enjoyable on a nasty, dreary night.
  
  Our server, David, did a nice job taking care of us. We had a slight hiccup in the beginning with the pasta dinner special being changed from what was listed on the board by the entrance. We waited till 5 p.m. so we could order the special only to find  when he rang it in the kitchen had changed. Extremely disappointed but I did enjoy my sandwich and soup.
  
  Great bar to meet friends for drinks, watch a sporting event, shoot some pool and have a solid meal.

  Trader's Mill Grill & Bar is a vibrant and fun venue. On Wednesday night, the pool table was hopping and a group of backgammon fanatics had a vibrant competition up front. Friends sipped beer and wine and laughed. The bar was electric! This place has totally rebranded itself. No longer smoke filled. Clean, colorful, interesting, a great neighborhood bar.
  
  We stopped by to try the dinner. Carter was our five star server. Even though they were crowded he was efficient and attentive. He offered suggestions and checked on us regularly.
  
  The menu featured steaks but we were in the mood for something lighter. I tried the Chicken Deluxe salad (10.99) and a cup of the chili ($3.99). The chili was outstanding - hearty and flavorful - a five. The salad was just ok. The portion was generous but there was not much flavor. Grilled chicken, diced tomatoes, onions, eggs, cheese over a bed of iceberg lettuce. Very filling.
  
  My table mates had the Chicken BLT salad ($11.99) and the Fabulous Fish and Chips ($10.99). The BLT salad was outstanding with two green fried tomatoes, grilled chicken, applewood bacon, chopped tomatoes, and iceberg lettuce. Lots of flavors, filling and interesting. The fish and chips was also delicious. All in all, good bar food.  
  
  They offer nightly specials which are a $1 off certain plates. Tonight was $2 off wings. We did not try.
  
  We will be back. I want to figure out how to get in on the backgammon.

  My SO and I have been here five times or so and unfortunately our experience has never been as great as it was on our first visit.  The service is pretty much self directed: I asked for water, I asked for a food menu, and I asked for our check. We'll continue to come for the TV's, reasonable drink prices/specials and the ability to get a seat at the bar but 3.5 stars for the restaurant is probably fair.
  
  Don't judge a book by its cover! This place is awesome! We're only here for the drinks and the tvs so I can't speak for the food but as a sports bar it definitely serves its purpose. I see 18 TVs and the pacers fans in here are lively! Liz behind the bar is great, allowing us tastes of beer and helping through the drink menu. Sunday Blue Moon-mosa $4.50 with fresh squeezed OJ is really good! We were pleasantly surprised. I can't believe we've overlooked it for so long, we'll be back

  This is a food gem! I was happy to find a non-chain place, and it did not disappoint.
  
  It feels like a lively restaurant/sports-bar, but it is also a relaxing place for anyone to catch a great meal. I grabbed a spot at the bar, and was quickly greeted by Chad, and served a drink in no time.
  
  The menu is robust, and I welcomed the suggestion to do the fresh beef filet special... it was under $15 bucks with TWO sides. My food came out cooked to perfection.
  
  It's awesome to find a place like this with on-point food, service, & value.
