Chef James Jones of His Place Eatery recently joined us to discuss the restaurant’s new location and showcase some of its specialties. His Place Eatery, which opened its second location at 86th and Ditch Road just four weeks ago, has received a positive response from the community. The original location at 30th and Shadeland Avenue remains open and continues to serve its loyal customers.

Chef James introduced several menu items including the Bourbon Peach Burger, fried chicken with traditional soul food sides, smoked meatloaf and various grilled items such as smoked brisket and ribs. He also introduced “The Experience,” a fried bologna sandwich with barbecue sauce and coleslaw on an onion bread.

The restaurant’s desserts include banana pudding, chocolate-covered bourbon pecan pie, sweet potato cheesecake and peach cobbler. Chef James emphasized his passion for food and the joy he takes in watching guests enjoy the dishes, noting that the menu reflects his and his wife’s love of traveling and discovering new flavors.

His Place Eatery continues to offer a diverse menu that appeals to both soul food and barbecue fans, with each dish prepared to provide an unforgettable dining experience.
