Great place. Burgers are the main item, but have other choices for non-burger people. Really nice outside seating area also and they now have a parking lot across the street. Will definitely be we back.

Kuma's Corner Indianapolis is near downtown Indy in an area called Fountain Square. There are so many cool shops nearby. Kuma's is a metal music themed burger shop. Some of the burgers on the menu include Metallica, Black Sabbath, Clutch, Iron Maiden, Slayer, and the one I had called Sourvein. Sourvein brings two of my favorite things together, burgers along with chicken and waffles. It has raspberry maple aioli, bacon, blackened chicken, cheddar, waffle, and syrup drizzled over everything. In the first photo, I showed how it was presented, then on the next one I showed what this thing might look like if someone thought they could actually pick it up and eat it without picking around first. Like the Thurman burger in Columbus, Ohio, a normal person can't just pick it up and do the thing. Pretty much, I had a nice little chicken and waffle appetizer, then I could actually pick up the burger together and eat it the normal way. The fries were smoking hot and salted nicely. I'm not much of a ketchup fan, but on this day I was. As far as the actual building goes, it's very nice inside and out. Very normal and calm looking on the outside, then super colorful indoors. Take a look around photo number 12 and you will find that they have Malort, Jack Daniels, and Jameson on tap! Wait what? On tap! Yeah, that's what I thought too. My bartender, Harlan, was very patient with me taking photos and not knowing what I wanted to eat. Such a cool place.

A unique hole in the wall bar. The food was amazing. Some of the best cheese curds I’ve had and the spicy mayo is a very unique touch that was awesome. The service was friendly and quick. The bar was very clean. A place I’ll definitely be back to. It made for an awesome date night.

Kuma’s Corner is a must-visit for anyone who loves heavy metal and great food. Located in fountain square, this unique bar has both indoor and outdoor seating options, creating a flexible space that’s perfect for parties of almost any size. Parking can be a little tight, so plan accordingly. The menu is centered around creative, gourmet burgers and sandwiches, with only a few appetizers but a lot of big flavors. We visited around 4:30 p.m. and were seated right away. Our server greeted us immediately with water and menus, and returned promptly to take our order. After discussing options with them, we decided to try the cheese curds as an appetizer. For our main courses, my wife ordered the “Iron Maiden Burger,” substituting cheddar cheese, while I went for the “Mastodon Burger.” Each came with fries, which were the perfect accompaniment. The burgers themselves were delicious and unique, though we found the portions quite generous – definitely more than we could finish! The service was friendly and efficient, the food was outstanding, and the heavy-metal-themed atmosphere added a lot to the experience. Before we left, we ordered two small mac ‘n’ cheese dishes to go, one with chicken and the other with pulled pork. The total came to 82.20 before tip, which felt very fair for such a great meal and excellent service. Highly recommended if you’re in the mood for an unforgettable burger and a killer vibe!

If you are into yummy charred burger that are exquisite, this is the place for you. We really enjoyed our experience here and we recommend it to all our metalheads and burger lovers. I ordered Iron Maiden and my partner ordered Plague Bringer. We both loved our food. We ordered fried pickles for appetizers and it was extremely yummy. The restaurant has dedicated parking on the other side of street.
