When members of the Indy Eleven soccer team aren't watching the World Cup, they're fueling up for their next match with a hearty meal. Here, we've rounded up their favorite restaurants in Indy and beyond.

A.J. Corrado, midfielder

His pick: Rick's Café Boatyard

4050 Dandy Trail, (317) 290-9300, rickscafeboatyard.com

Corrado picked Rick's Café Boatyard for its location, right on the water at Eagle Creek Reservoir. "They also have a good variety on their menu that makes the food enjoyable," he said.

Jon Dawson, goalkeeper

His pick: Bagel Fair

1300 E. 86th St., (317) 846-0950, bagelfair.com

Established in 1975, this bagel shop in Nora has "great people and even better food," Dawson said. "They make the best bagels in Indy and provide the best environment to start your mornings."

Kyle Hyland, defender

His pick: Scotty's Brewhouse

Multiple locations, scottysbrewhouse.com

You can often find Hyland at the downtown location of Scotty's Brewhouse, his favorite local restaurant. "Their buffalo chicken wrap is my favorite dish there, and there's no better place to watch any game," he said.

Dylan Mares, midfielder

His pick: Cobblestone Grill

160 S. Main St., (317) 873-4745, cobblestonegrill.com

Mares picked Zionsville mainstay Cobblestone Grill for its atmosphere - including both indoor and outdoor seating. "They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner and have delicious choices for all three," he said. "After, you can walk around Zionsville to all the other local shops, which makes for a good time."

Pedro Mendes, forward

His pick: Fogo de Chao

117 E. Washington St., (317) 638-4000, fogodechao.com

For Mendes, nothing beats the wide selection of meats at Fogo de Chao - not to mention the chance to experience Brazilian culinary traditions. "The service by the staff is simply amazing," he said.

Kristian Nicht, goalkeeper

His pick: Ocean Prime

8555 River Road, (317) 569-0975, oceanprimeindy.com

Nicht is new to Indianapolis, but he's already picked Ocean Prime as his favorite local restaurant. "They have the best salmon I've been able to find here in America so far," he said.

Brad Ring, midfielder

His pick: Another Broken Egg Café

9435 N. Meridian St., (317) 818-1700, anotherbrokenegg.com

Another Broken Egg Café has "all the classic breakfast dishes, but with a unique twist," Ring said. In six visits, he's had six excellent dishes, but his favorite so far is the omelet made with lobster and brie.

Juergen Sommer, head coach

His pick: Pizzology

Multiple locations, pizzologyindy.com

The Pizzology location in Carmel is "a convenient go-to for my wife and I when we need a night out," Sommer said. They enjoy the artisanal brick-oven pizzas - especially because the food pairs so well with the restaurant's wine selection, he said.

Nathan Sprenkel, goalkeeper

His pick: Flap-Jacks Pancake House

Multiple locations, flap-jacks.com

Fair prices, friendly service and tasty food are a tough combination to beat, Sprenkel said. "I love breakfast food, and they do it right. From eggs to pancakes, French toast or skillets, the variety is endless."

Chris Wey, defender

His pick: Bru Burger Bar

410 Massachusetts Ave., (317) 635-4278, bruburgerbar.com

Wey loves the burgers at Bru Burger Bar, but the jalapeno macaroni and cheese is the real game-changer, he said. "I'm not a big mac-and-cheese person, but after trying this dish, it's a must-order every time I visit." He also loves the sophisticated atmosphere and the ability to pair his burger with just the right beer.

Peter Wilt, president and general manager

His pick: John's Famous Stew

1146 Kentucky Ave., (317) 636-6212, indysfamousstew.com

Wilt has been trying to eat a vegetarian diet since moving to Indianapolis, but the hearty stew at John's Famous Stews is "one dish I can't give up," he said. The stew is made from scratch with potatoes, carrots and tender beef. It's irresistible, Wilt said, as is the welcoming atmosphere of one of the city's oldest restaurants: It was founded in 1911.
