Yats's Interests
|
| General | Food of course! Always satisfying and always filling, our food is authentic Louisiana cuisine. Count on lots of spice, lots of flavor and a lot of love goin' into these southern comfort food classics.
For only $4.50 for half order, $5.50 for regulars or $6.50 for a combination, we dish up entrees, served over rice with two pieces of bread for soppin' up the good stuff.
Some menu regulars include:
Gumbo
Chili Cheese Etouffee
Chicken Creole
Red Beans and Rice
Jambalaya
Spinach and Mushroom Etouffee
Succotash
Maque Choix. | | Movies | This past year, Yats founder and owner, Joe Vuskovich, was featured in "Happiness," a short, independent film about the small pleasures in life that often mean the most.
Joe candidly speaks about growing up in New Orleans, opening his first restaurant with his brother, and his mother's Sicilian cooking. The film was screened at this year's Indianapolis International Film Festival and received top honors at the IMAX Theatre's Really Big Short Film Festival. | | Heroes | Our head honcho, Joe! This year Joe received a Cultural Vision Award from NUVO Newsweekly and Yats recently received FOUR awards from NUVO's Best of Indy issue including:
#1 Best Restaurant
#1 Best Soul Food
#1 Best Cheap Eats
#3 Best Cheap Date Spots

Yats's Blurbs |
About me:
What’s a Yat? Well, I’m a Yat. N’Orleans has a certain segment of its population that has its own way of living life. These cats talk in their own language, have their own schedules they follow separate from the world, and eat their own particular style of food.
The common greeting “Where y’at?” is where they get their name. In English that’s just “How are you doing?” Somewhere along the way I switched from “Where y’at?” to “How you doin'?” but I’m still all Yat. The real thing that all Yats love is to eat, and they don’t just keep eatin' to live - a Yat keeps livin' to eat.
Yats love good food more than anything else, and that’s what my joint is all about. Food that’s so damned good that you don’t need none of those frills like garnishing or a hostess or a toy or somethin'. At Yats, we give you really good food. Just like what a Yat would want.
-Joe

Best place to eat ever. One of the only things that makes me excited to live in Indiana.

Joe is the man !!!
I was one of the 1st customers at the 52nd street Yats and Joe used to give me the food free half the time I came in. One time I was having a dinner party and he gave me a whole dessert pie for Free !!! Granted when it 1st opened I must have been there every other day. God Bless Joe, his peeps and Yats....one of the places I go back to when I'm in Indy.
Much Love,
RJ (relocated to Chicago and lovin it !!!)

Yats Greenwood opens tomm. 3/6 so stop with the phone calls. I love you all, and Ill see you at lunch.
lookin forward to it!
Sweet news about Greenwood!!! Going to have to stop by!!!
Mmm... can't wait for the Greenwood Store! A bunch of us are going to meet there after the March bout for hangover food!
Stopped in for lunch today in B'Ripple. Yum! Please, please, please let us know when your G'Wood location will open. Seriously, I'll volunteer to help. I'd love to run over for dinner, like, every night. Seriously, G'Wood. Soon. Please? :)
Please, oh please, oh please, reconsider a location in Irvington. Ah, you would be such a welcome addition and we would probably try to send everyone of our customers in your direction. Just an idea....
Big Respect*
Bobbie @ the hollow
Hey we had a blast at the filming of the commercial, can't wait to see how it turns out!
A little birdy told me the southside Yats should be opened sometime next week. Get ready Greenwood, Yats is almost here!!!
Brettman
mmmmm....some yats sounds good right about now!!!
Joe,
Everyone want's a Yat's in their neck of the woods.
Well, I'm no different. I moved to Illinois from Indianpolis about 3 years ago and have been having withdrawal from your amazing food ever since.
So how about it Joe, maybe a Chicago location someday?
I need to work.
Joe and Co.,
I have been participating in the greatness that is your plates since '03.
Keep up the hard work!
Drew
fernheads favorite...mmmmgood
Dear Yats,
The only thing better than the hot steamy instant hunger gratification I get when I visit.....is eating your cold leftovers around 2 in the morning because I can't wait any longer.

I'm still here. I still have my fork. I think it's cruel how you would hang a sign in greenwood and not have food! COME ON ALREADY! I"M DYING HERE!
