Joe's Butcher shop has a counter that makes sandwiches and salads and provides seating "next door". We had lunch today with friends. The menu has a few unique sandwiches that make good use of the butcher's meat. Prices are reasonable. My husband had the Debris Po' Boy Sandwich, served hot. He loved his sandwich with a generous portion of beef, lettuce and tomato. I had the Grand Palace Salad, which was huge. The chicken was marinated in a Thai sauce and was a tad dry. The rest of the salad was fresh with snow peas, cherry tomatoes and mandarins orange. My friend had the meatball sandwich, which looked awesome. The sandwich was huge and shareable. (I'm getting that next time.) The clerks were friendly and helpful. The dining area is roomy and great for conversation. Restrooms were available. There is a dedicated parking lot behind the building or street parking in front. read more

After visiting Joe's Butcher Shop for the first time, it was unanimously agreed that it would not be our last! The market area was small, but well-stocked, and I wish I had a cooler with me so I could have purchased some of the beautiful offerings in the butcher shop. We decided to have lunch here - we ordered from the deli counter in the back, and they brought the food to us after we sat in the adjacent, well-appointed dining area. (That is also where the large and incredibly clean bathrooms are ... moms with their kiddos in strollers will easily fit into the one-person bathroom.) Read the menu online and you will see this is no ordinary sandwich shop. Everything was homemade, and the high-quality was undeniable. We each had a sandwich and a different salad from the deli and were extraordinarily happy with our choices. We interacted with a deli counter employee who was incredibly patient with all of our questions, and with a knowledgeable woman who was stocking shelves and a cashier. We love the local focus in this farm to market shop, and feel this is a real gem in the Indianapolis area. read more

Joe's Next Door sure knows how to make amazing deli sandwiches and sides! We decided to order at the counter and I got the chicken salad sandwich and broccoli salad. They will bring your food out to your table once it's prepared. After we sat down at the table, I saw that you can simply order with the QR code at the table which seems super convenient!! We were so impressed with our food that we had to explore the store a bit and ended up purchasing the pot pies from the fridge/freezer section. Again, these were equally as delicious and were perfect for an easy dinner. They have a ton of locally sourced products which I loved and reminded me of a farmers market... but indoors and with great hours! read more

This place has the best sandwiches and I love that they offer gluten free bread and broad ripple chips! The blt is so good!!!!

Never a bad meal!! I love their sandwiches and service. Such a fun place to eat well. The dining side is a bit sticky, but it's worth it.

Great service, the food was excellent! I got the debris po boy, the bread was excellent, recoils de was great. GF got the Evans IPA beef, it was great. Kid got the hot capocollo, they say it was "juicy" Ambiance was hip and cool, nice read more

The IPA beef and Cuban Sandwich are without doubt the best in town! They are always incredible friendly and welcoming and the food is fantastic. Also if you're European like me, it's one of the only places in town you can get a San Pellegrino lemonade. Top tip: Sandwich and a lemonade will always set you're day up right! read more

I've passed by the butcher shop before but never stopped in for sandwiches. My friend was craving one so decided to finally stop by. We had the Hot Capocollo, Evan's IPA Braised Beef, and the Hot Italian Beef. We really liked the sandwiches, but we did wish there was a bit more heat to them. The giardiniera was definitely different than the ones I'm used to - felt more like a slaw. I would come again to try the other sandwiches as well. It was a little hard to choose but I think I chose well with the Hot Capocollo. The bread was crispy, the meats were good, the caramelized onions added some sweetness, but I think I'll order extra jalapeno slices next time. Can't wait to go back! read more

This style of establishment that offers premium meats, seafood, wines, cheeses, deli items and assorted groceries are the bees knees! It's a one-stop shop with delicious sandwiches. The bread is top notch! Fresh and pillowy soft. I was in heaven. Bummed they were out of the scallops to make the Rich Boy but it's a reason to return. They have a lovely layout with nice decor and a large, well-decorated restroom. Service was friendly and quick. Just needed more pescatarian/vegetarian friendly options and it woulda been perfect! read more

I have been to Joe's Butcher shop several times and didn't realize it has a sandwich shop in the same space as the butcher shop, literally adjacent to the meat counter. Thankfully, I stumbled upon Joe's Next Door while looking for food on Yelp in the downtown Carmel area. Based on other people's recommendations, I knew I wanted to order the Braised Beef sandwich before I even walked in the door. Currently, the inside of the Butcher shop/Deli is set up to make everything move in one direction, which is a little bit confusing and due to the less than ideal interior size, can make it quite cramped. You order the sandwich at the deli counter, then wait in line with everyone else ordering at the meat counter until the line finally makes its way around to the checkout. In my opinion, they should have a checkout register at the deli counter for those only wanting to order from the deli. But that's my only gripe about Joe's. That said, after the 10-15 minute wait to make it from the deli counter to the checkout, my sandwich was ready! I got some Broad Ripple Chip Co chips (flavor was 'sweet and spicy') to go along with the Braised Beef sandwich. And oh my goodness was the sandwich absolutely delicious. It had a very generous portion of beef and the melted havarti cheese went great with the sweetness from the red wine gastrique and caramelized onions. Would 10/10 recommend for any beef lovers out there. read more

My newest deli crush! I am so glad this is walkable from my office because it's getting added to my weekly lunch menu. Online ordering opens at 11am and this is the way to go to get easy takeout! I placed my order a bit after 1145 assuming there may be a lunch rush and I got a text about 3 minutes later that it was already ready! I didn't notice when I ordered but online also tells you your approx wait time which is so nice. I tried the turkey pesto sandwich and some Joes chips. The sandwich was filled with turkey, I mean filled! It was. Loaded with fresh green pesto and fresh mozzarella too. It also came with some sauce that I wish there was more of and shredded lettuce. The part that was a nice touch was a baked parmesan crisp. The sandwich itself I thought was a tad dry (like I said it would be helpful if there was more sauce or honestly slather some mayo on there. Pro tip: I shoved the Joe's jalapeno chips into my sandwich while eating and it was life changing. read more

I have been looking for a good deli and finally found one! We have stopped in a couple of times and the sandwiches did not disappoint. I ordered the Italian, turkey Tarantino, and aji Amarillo steak.

I'm not joking when I say I ordered sandwiches 3 days in a row because I'm OBSESSED. Everything I've had has been amazing, but the BLT, braised beef, and flank steak sandwiches are my favorite. Everything is made to order, comes out in 10 mins or less, and portions are huge. Do yourself a favor and snag some of the Heidi Ho chocolate chip shortbread cookies for dessert. read more

Holy shoot this is the best sandwich spot this side of 38th street. The BLT is , but every sandwich I've had from here is amazing.

Great all around. Love it being here in Carmel. Highly recommend. Great quality. Love it

Alright... couldn't even wait a week to come back and try some more sandwiches! Today we tried the BLT, Evan's IPA and got the steak sandwich again. I am absolutely floored by this BLT, best one I've ever had. Its magic in your mouth... will be having dreams of this sandwich. Sweet and smokey bacon, tangy tomato, creamy avocado, perfectly toasted sourdough (not too toasty where it hurts your mouth, you feel me?). The steak sandwich is just as phenomenal as the first time and we really liked the Evan's IPA as well. The bread was a bit dry (same bun that was on my turkey sandwich from before) even with the juicy meat on it. I think I prefer the sourdough or the bun on the steak sandwich, but still delicious! read more

This is my new go-to deli sandwich spot - the freshest ingredients there are! They slice the meat, cheese, and other sandwich add-ons as they are creating this wonderful masterpiece! I got Joe's BLT which was recommended by the deli worker and SHE WAS SO RIGHT! The bacon is what I would describe as candied - super sweet, and very thick and house-cured. It also came with butter lettuce that my sister-in-law pointed out and it added the much-needed soft crunch. The seared sourdough was amazing and only added to the awesome taste of the overall creation. This was also my first time trying the Broad Ripple Chip Company chips - I got the sweet and spicy style and they were awesome, the perfect balance of tang and zest! Joe's Next Door also hosts many different local vendor's items in a convenient location. They have local craft beers, locally made sauces, and fresh produce. Their fresh meat deli had all kinds of meat from chicken, turkey, beef, and seafood. They had a house sausage that I would like to try the next time I go back! I can't wait to go back and try Evan's IPA Braised Beef Sandwich! read more

I was really excited when we decided to try Joe's Next Door for a casual Saturday lunch to go. I had looked at the menu beforehand, which I was thankful for or else I probably would have been overwhelmed with the line forming behind me. I decided that I wanted the Hot Capocollo Panini because all of the ingredients on the sandwich sounded so yummy, but I subbed the capocollo out for turkey. I also got a bag of sweet & spicy Broad Ripple Chip Co chips. Overall the environment in the shop was just hectic and confusing. There are shelves in the middle of the shop and multiple black taped lines on the floor, so it was unclear where people who just ordered sandwiches were supposed to stand in line to pay at the register, which is located out of sight from where we ordered sandwiches. I'm sure that it would've been less stressful if it was not so crowded in there due to the fact that one of the registers was down during a busy weekend lunch rush. We waited about 10-15 minutes in line to pay, but when we were finished our sandwiches were ready and we went on our way. Unfortunately, along with the environment of this place, my sandwich also missed the mark. While the toppings that were supposed to be on my panini were havarti cheese, caramelized onions, and sliced jalapeños, my sandwich did not have the caramelized onions. I feel like the onions would have definitely brought this sandwich up to my expectations. Don't get me wrong the sandwich with just turkey, cheese, and jalapeños tasted good...it just wasn't anything special. Maybe it's my fault for subbing the capocollo out for turkey. I will definitely give this place another shot since it just seemed like unlucky circumstances, but overall a little disappointed with my initial experience. read more

Best Deli I've eaten at around Indy. I moved from the East Coast and we had phenomenal delis every block in the city and I've found that Indy doesn't have many and the few that are rated good, I've found we're overpriced and nothing to rave about. However this place is 5 stars no doubt. The chicken salad was phenomenal and a very generous amount, the service was awesome, the guy who made my sandwich was so friendly, and they have a wide variety of sandwiches and they have a butcher shop that had amazing meats. This place is so awesome. I can't complain about much except the sub bread was a little dry but not too bad. Overall this place is the best deli I've had in or around Indy. My only suggestion to them is either making their own hard rolls or try to find a bakery to buy fresh rolls from. Also the prices are very well priced!! Not overpriced at all, for that large sub I paid $10!! This spot is 5/5 definitely somewhere to go when you need fresh meats or a good deli! read more

I love a good deli sammie and Joe's BLT ranks up there in one of the best I've had. Their house cured bacon is slightly sweet and tasted like no bacon I've ever had- in a good way! Love that they use butter lettuce and the toasted sourdough was chewy but didn't overtake the sandwich. I also enjoyed the creamy avocado and mayo. The tomatoes were thick and fresh. Don't forget to grab a bag of Joe's Chips! You can also get a fresh deli side like broccoli salad or coleslaw- definitely trying one next time! The deli itself offers tons of fresh deli meat, chicken, beef and seafood. The market offers tons of items from local vendors. I can't wait to go back and try another sandwich or get the BLT again. It hit the spot! read more

AMAZING SANDWICHES GALORE. This place is always busy (hint: because it's fresh and delicious). There are tons of sandwich options with freshly sliced meats and cheeses; you'll see them slicing them! They have special sandwich combinations with unique sauces and toppings. I honestly couldn't tell you what I've eaten from there in the past because I always point to one and trust them - you seriously can't go wrong. The shop itself also sells fresh sides (pasta salad-type dishes), raw meat you can take home to cook, slices of meat and cheeses, and local sauces, chips, pastas, and more. The staff are all insanely sharp and professional. The owner is there a lot and the rest of the staff are usually fairly young high schoolers. They blow service out of the water, proofing that good service comes from people of all ages. They're polite, confident and always go out of their way to help you. You can call in orders ahead of time or you can eat there. There's outdoor seating with umbrellas! Perfect spot for a quick bite to eat. read more

I haven't been eating out much due to COVID-19, but I shouldn't have waited this long to return to Joe's! I placed my order online, received a text when my order was ready. They have a door for entry and one for exit with hand sanitizer at the door. It was super easy, minimal contact, everyone wearing masks, and directional tape on the floor to facilitate one-way traffic! I forgot to get a picture, but had the Rich Boy and it was amazing! We also picked-up some Rosie's butter cookies which was a perfect ending to our lunch! read more

The flank steak sandwich is super crave-able, and I find myself thinking about eating it even five days later. If you've ever eaten really good Mexican carne asada straight from the grill, then you'd be familiar with what this sandwich tastes like. It's just a big pile of grilled, marinated carne asada, topped with cilantro aoli, pink pickled onions, and lettuce. But it's like 85% meat, which is great. Every mouthful is meat. They use romaine lettuce in their flank steak sandwich (and many other sandwiches), which I ate, unfortunately, during the whole romaine lettuce scare of 2018. But I'm not sick ... knock on wood. So I'm assuming Joe's gets their lettuce from a local, reputable source. One thing to note when you visit this deli: You do not need to grab a number if you're just ordering a sandwich, despite what the sign at the front says. The number-grabbing is for people who are buying meat from the butcher counter. read more

Evan's IPA braised beef sandwich is the reason to go to Joe's Next Door, which is the deli/sandwich counter on the east end of Joe's Butcher Shop. I'm not even a person who eats sandwiches. But this is worth it, and everyone in my family agrees it's the best sandwich they have ever had. Served warm, it's basically a roast beef sandwich, but with interesting flavors you'll just have to try. There is seating adjacent to the counter, and many things you can purchase to eat there or take home for later (butcher shop, mini grocery, deli items, etc.) High quality food, and very nice & experienced professional staff. Parking on the street out front, and a parking lot is located south/behind the store (back entrance for convenience). So if you're going to have a sandwich, make it a good one & go to Joe's! read more

Marginal at best. First timers. Ordered for pick up online. Went in to get the food...and they had mistakenly given our order to Door Dash. Had to wait 15 minutes for them to remake the order. Three sandwiches...almost $42 bucks. The Cuban was not great. The flank steak...seemed more like roast beef and it tasted as though it was burnt. The Banh Mi was probably the best of the bunch. It was okay, but definitely not anything special. It was not a terrible lunch...but we probably won't be back anytime soon. read more

100% agree with Jake D.'s comment: this BLT is life changing. I know this because I do NOT typically like BLT's but this one is memorable for all the right reasons. This is within Joe's Butcher Shop - a small sandwich counter in the back right corner. Sandwiches can be enjoyed out front along Main Street (a few tables outside the shop) or are perfect for a picnic, wrapped in parchment paper. I wasn't the biggest fan of the French Orchard (too much trillium cheese in my opinion) but the BLT. OH MAN. Thick, flavorful bacon. This isn't thin and crispy stuff. It's the real deal. What makes the house cured bacon even better is heirloom tomatoes (yes please), avocado (my favorite) and garlic aioli all on sourdough bread (the best bread, second only to pretzel bread). Award winning combination, if you ask me. read more

Given the reviews, came here with fairly expectations and while the service was great, the sandwiches left a lot to be desired. Most notably, the bread was not fresh/soft but was either a day or two old or was stored in a refrigerator? Either way, it was hard and dry. The chicken salad, which I was told they were "known for" was definitely good but a bit on the dry side. So, with the bread already dry, it was fairly disappointing. To be fair, we didn't buy anything from the butcher but the meat looked fantastic and the place was packed so I have to assume it's very high quality as well. read more

The bread was the star of the show, everything was delicious. The sandwich ingredients are high quality and well thought out. I look forward to returning. read more
