At the Table
Aspen Creek Grill — a full-service, casual dining restaurant that prides itself on “comfort fresh food” — has officially come to Whitestown.
Originally the brainchild of Texas Roadhouse founder Wayne Kent Taylor, Aspen Creek Grill was inspired by the ski resorts of Colorado and Utah. The first Aspen Creek Grill opened in 2009.
Matt Vest, managing partner of Aspen Creek Grill, was a regular at the Noblesville location for nearly a decade before transitioning into his current role.
“I loved the consistent, made-from-scratch food,” Vest says. “I built a relationship with the manager there, and I spread the word [about Aspen Creek Grill] to anyone who would listen.”
Aspen Creek Grill locations can be found in Greenwood, Noblesville and Whitestown, as well as in Kentucky and Texas.
“Opening an Aspen Creek Grill means a lot to me,” Vest says. “We pride ourselves on our hospitality, and we want to bring that to the Whitestown community.”
Vest predicts Whitestown will see significant growth over the next 10 years.
“When we were scouting possible locations, we saw Whitestown as a place of opportunity,” Vest says. “The timing was just right to be on the ground floor with something.”
Vest’s hope for Whitestown’s new Aspen Creek Grill is that it will become the “crown jewel” of northwest Indianapolis.
“As the third location in the Indianapolis market, the position allows us to have a little more market share and brand recognition,” Vest says.
According to Vest, the Whitestown market was underserved before Aspen Creek Grill’s grand opening on Jan. 12.
“There are only about four other restaurants [in Whitestown] that offer sit-down service, so we take a lot of pride in providing another sit-down option for the community,” Vest says.
When guests walk into Aspen Creek Grill in Whitestown, they can expect a warm welcome, a cozy environment and comforting food, according to Vest.
“It’s the go-to place to eat, think, relax and be with friends,” Vest says. “We have awesome hand-cut steaks, seasoned, seared and charred to perfection. One of my personal favorites is the honey lime salmon. I am partial, but we have a lot of variety for folks.”
Vest hopes to establish partnerships within the community and donate to charities and organizations that help benefit and grow Whitestown.
“We are happy to be part of the Whitestown community now, and we are looking forward to many years of partnership within the community,” Vest says.
Aspen Creek Grill in Whitestown is located at 6031 Perry Worth Road.
