I went over to a friends house the other day and had a cup of tea. It was the most flavorful and…read morearomatic cup of tea I have tried and I had to know where they got it. So we went to this little hidden gem, tucked away in a strip mall in Carmel. This is a tiny store with an offering of items from Eastern Europe. There is a great variety of items for anyone to find something to try and well worth a visit. I picked up two types or tea, a jar of vegetable spread, and beet salad and sour pickles from the deli case. Both teas were equally good and flavorful. And the deli items were fresh and tasty.

I ran in here for a quick treat earlier tonight. The name "mini mart" kind of makes you think of…read morethe Qik-E-Mart from The Simpsons. This seems much more like a bodgea rather than a pure convenience store. There is a lot of bread, cheese, wine, some vegetables, and a variety of packaged goods. I got the "Opera" pastry from some bakery in Brooklyn. Coffee cream + vanilla and chocolate and it was delicious. I have no idea if this is authentic or not. The only other Russian store I know of is the...jazz restaurant in Castleton. But this unique little shop is a welcome change of pace from the burger and pizza capitol of central Indiana.

However Google maps suggested this store and i was so happy they had what i was looking for! Saved me an hour trip. I guess the store opened up around 2020-2021. The shopkeeper was friendly, store was clean. I was surprised at the variety and number of items that was neatly packed into the shop. Pricing also seemed reasonable too. Awesome to have a place like this on the northwest side of Indy.

Wow, Just wow! This was my first visit to a Wally's or any other mega gas station. I was a bit…read moreflabbergasted, for sure. There are 84 pumps for gas and diesel. The pumps are covered with spacious aisles. Big trucks and cars use the same pumps. I was uncomfortable maneuvering between the dump trucks that were filling their tanks. The gas prices were about 10 cents higher than the average prices in Indianapolis, but the station is seconds off Interstate US65. A bank of EV charging stations is under construction and will be on-line shortly. In general, there is still a lot of construction in progress around the facility. Inside, the store is huge and spacious. Merchandise is smothered with the Wally logo. Stations were set up with hot sandwiches, pastries, popcorn, jerky, chicken, coffee, slushies and more. Friendly clerks greeted us and volunteered to assist. I grabbed a bag of fresh chips and a Bbq Brisket Sandwich. The chips are incredible, crispy, fresh, sinful and no too salty. The Bbq Brisket was filled with chopped brisket. The sandwich was just ok, but I liked the spicy bbq sauce. Prices are reasonable. Utensils and condiments are provided. There is no place to sit and eat, we took our food home. My husband loved his Cinnamon Roll smothered in caramel and nuts. The $4 beast was huge and fresh. He gave it a solid 5 stars commenting on the strong cinnamon flavor. The store is filled with kitchenware, gifts, toys, Wally themed tees and personal care products. I saw everything that a traveling family might need and more. The toy section rivaled any local toy store. In fact, a group of kids were waiting in line for NeeDoh toys that were about to be shelved. The candy aisle is filled with old fashioned candies with Wally labels. I spent 15 minutes reading funny greeting cards. The beer case was filled with name brand beers, but I did not see local craft beers. When I travel, I like to pick up local craft beers as gifts. The wine selection included inexpensive options. The restrooms were huge and pristine, probably the nicest that I've seen traveling. So, if you're traveling and want lunch, gas and bathroom break, Wally's is a perfect option. You're probably not going to make it a quick stop because there is so much to see.

It's difficult to not think of Wally's as a poor man's Buc-ee's. The template for the store is very…read moresimilar to that store with the beaver mascot. It's a little uncanny, actually. They've got the wall of jerky. They've got the restrooms set up in the same area of the store. (Wally's also claims to have the cleanest restrooms.) They've got the people at the entrances greeting you with a semi-enthusiastic "Welcome to Wally's!" They've got the brisket sandwiches. I could list a lot more similarities, but you get the gist. If you've been to Buc-ee's, it will be hard to not compare the two convenience stores. But if you haven't been to Buc-ee's? Then baby, you're in for a treat! Wally's is really cool, actually. I tried to stay neutral during my Wally's visit, and absorb it as though I had never stepped into a Buc-ee's. Because Wally's deserves a shot to shine on its own accord. This place has an amazing array of food. The middle of the store is basically a food court, with grab-and-go hot-food options like pizza slices, burritos, soft tacos, brisket sandwiches, cheeseburgers, chicken tenders and lots more. Then there are the refrigerated items, like tuna sandwiches, salads, wraps, and even a thing called an egg BLT, which is basically a hard-boiled egg cut in half with bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiched between it. I think I'm going to have to make these at home! Thanks for the inspo, Wally's. I've been told that the things to get here are the chopped brisket sandwich and the house-made kettle chips. I eschewed that advice and went with my heart instead, and got the El Fuego Burrito, which has shredded beef, white cheese sauce, black beans, corn and green chiles in it. It was alright! Maybe I eat too slowly, but by the time I was halfway done, the burrito was lukewarm. Also, the burrito was not as "fuego" as I thought it would be -- it's very mild, with almost no spiciness to it. So, not bad, but I think I might get something else next time. My kids got pizza slices: one pepperoni and one cheese. The kid who got the cheese pizza said that it didn't come with sauce! Just cheese and crust. I don't know if that was a mistake or if that's the way the cheese pizza is. We also got the smash burger (it was more like a regular burger) and the cheese tots, which were fried discs of cheese, basically. The food was fine, if you're evaluating it in terms of restaurant quality. But it was above average for a gas station. We visited and got a bunch of food with the intention of eating it there, but keep in mind: Wally's has no tables anywhere, indoors or outdoors! They want you to get your crap and GTFO, so there are no tables or chairs to be seen anywhere on the premises. Also, this is not a semi-truck-friendly place. No semis allowed! Just regular vehicles. But they have dozens and dozens of gas pumps, in case you need to fuel your regular vehicle.

They have a little food area in the back of the store, near the pan dulce, where they have tamales ready and waiting in steamers. You need to go to the register first and let them know how many and which kind of tamales you want, and they'll get them for you. I bought a dozen-and-a-half of the pork with red chile tamales, and they are very good! In fact, I'm eating one right now as I type this review! The tamales have the perfect proportion of masa to meat, and they are cooked all the way through and not at all gummy, like some tamales can get when they're not cooked properly. They have other tamales besides pork, but I was only interested in pork when I visited, so I can't tell you for sure what other kinds they have. This is also a grocery store, so there are lots of packaged Mexican foods here, as well as a small panderia with some bolillos and a selection of pan dulce. This looks to be a great place to find Mexican candy (Lucas, Tajin, tamarindo candy, those little disks of chalky peanut butter with the picture of the abuelita on them, etc.), as I saw a lot of different candies.
