Bynum's Steakhouse Martinsville

You think he still works there?

That’s why I tagged him. Figured he would chime in either way.

It appears they still don't have a website or menu online though. All references end up pointing to the unaffiliated Bynum's in Indy.

Yes I do! It would be extremely awkward if I didn't. Seeing how my family founded both of them. We still own the Martinsville location

@Cameramonkey Hello! What day you coming by? I manage the kitchen on Mondays and Tuesdays. I work expo on the weekends and my brother manages the place the rest of the week. Are you guys coming here or up to Indy? We don't own the Indy location anymore. Actually we haven't owned the Indy location since before I was born so... long family drama story

That's a shame. I just live about a mile south of the Indy location.

Not sure when. I believe the basic idea was hatched last night. Its at the "we need to do this" stage. I'll let you know when.

And I believe you've told the story here many moons ago. I dont remember it, but I do know it was discussed at length before.

Sweet let me know when. More than likely I'll be here. Ask for Chris.

Yeah you're right I have. I think the last time someone outed me was Churchmouse and we talked about it for a bit. I miss that guy. I don't normally talk about the restaurant on INGO because I don't have an advertising membership. But since you are a mod and you brought it up... lol.

And if anyone is wondering why my INGO name is Kawtech87 and not something restaurant oriented, I used to be a full time powersports mechanic. Kawasaki and other Japanese bikes were my specialty.

I love the food, but as a big guy, the building makes me very claustrophobic!

I used to work for a copier company in Martinsville and I think they owned part or all of it. Same people?

Nope. Never shared ownership with anyone other than family (well the Martinsville store anyway) Don't know who was saying that but it wasn't true.

We do have a Facebook page now! We've caught up to the early 2000s!

Yeah sorry about that. We have expanded some in the bar area. The building used to be doctors offices a long time ago. If you think about how it's laid out it makes sense. The two small rooms and the lobby were examination rooms.

Well if you ever make it down this way stop by.

 

[kawtech87]

Fun fact all the  good paintings on the back of the booths were done by my late Grandmother

Oh, my fat ass will soldier through it for some prime rib!

I've only been there once and that was probably five years ago. Wasn't there a vintage motorcycle or two in the back bar area?

One or two yeah. LOL. At one time there were between 25-30. About 5 years ago was around the time my dad had a stroke. Since then he's sold off the motorcycle/car collection and we expanded the bar area and turned the back room into seating.

That looks fabulous

The food there is awesome, and my wife and I used to eat there every time we went to Indianapolis. However, the last time we went, the service was SO bad that we walked out, vowing never to return.

Indy location or Martinsville? If it was Martinsville then I'm sorry to hear that and hope you give us another chance. If it was Indy then I have no control over that one.
