Smokey Blue is a newcomer to downtown Indy's Statehouse Market, a weekly market occurring each…read moreThursday during Summer and early Fall at the Indiana Government Center. Smokey Blue, as you can probably guess, is a BBQ food truck with a menu that includes sandwiches (chicken, brisket, hot honey chicken, and pulled pork. The BBQ is Texas Style. They also offer So-Cal Burritos (I don't recall these being on the menu today, though I'll also admit I wasn't looking for them). Each sandwich offers a side and I also received a slice of corn bread. I ordered the chicken sandwich with fries. The chicken comes with either regular or spicy sauce. I opted for regular, however, in the future would probably go for spicy. Because of a work meeting during lunch, I hit the market early during the 10:30am-1:30pm hours. This isn't my favorite thing to do as trucks are typically still getting set up and meals can feel either rushed or incomplete. This was kind of true here as fries were not yet ready and with several people waiting it seemed a bit rushed. The nicely seasoned fries were good, however, they stuck together a bit. The people are very friendly here. There's an obvious desire to connect with customers. It also appears to be faith-based/inspired as there's a Scripture on the food truck. Smokey Blue also offers loaded fries, loaded mac, wings, and pork nachos. Like most food trucks, I do think some of the items are sporadically available. You can also get bottled water and soft drinks in can (Coke Products). I did also see one dessert on the menu - Smoked Apples with Brown Sugar, drizzled with Dulce de Leche and a delightful crumble on top on top of our own Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. I did not see them today, however, I'll likely try them in the future. I have a feeling this was somewhat hindered by my arriving early. This was a very solid 4-star, however, I can't quite get myself to go 5-star. Service was great, food was good, and prices were consistent with most food trucks. I will definitely return, however, I'll likely wait for them to get a bit more settled and not try to do lunch at 10:45am. Smokey Blue also offers catering and will appear at special events. Lots to love here - I look forward to returning in the future and hopefully forking over that fifth star!

It does not look as though you are entering a restaurant when you approach, but you are. I think they are configured more for takeout, but they have access to the large event area with cafeteria-style seating. So there is plenty of room to eat in if you'd prefer (which we did). The hours seem a little limited so be sure to check before you go. The menu, including the specials, is on a white board as you walk in. The selection is streamlined, BBQ-dominated and carnivore-oriented (other than the sides). The system is a walk-up and order from the kitchen doorway. My wife chose the Pulled Pork Sandwich with Baked Beans while I opted for the Chopped Chicken Sandwich with Kickin Coleslaw. The food was very good. The proprietors were very friendly and engaging, and that was a plus. The prices were quite reasonable. With drinks and tip, it was about $14 each. My wife actually took enough away from hers for another meal, so it was a good deal. Our daughter and son-in-law live close, so we hope to try this place again when we visit.

I've long heard good things about Gomez BBQ and I noticed that they'd been showing up recently to…read moredowntown Indy's Statehouse Market. Today, I finally decided to dive in. The set-up at Statehouse Market has been pretty simple. They don't use a truck. They set-up under a canopy with their BBQ goods - Pork, Chicken, Brisket, and possibly one other option. They also have a "bowl" option available. The only beverage option I saw was a bottled water. The sandwiches come on a white bun. They include cilantro and pickled red onion, though they did ask if toppings were wanted. I was a little confused as I was charged $12 for the chicken sandwich - the menu indicated $10. I did get the correct sandwich. The sandwich itself was quite tasty - I don't usually order the toppings, however, I decided to order it how it's usually served and I did enjoy it. There were two employees working - one making the food (I'll assume Gomez?) and a young man taking orders (who seemed a bit distracted, however, he was friendly). Because the canopy was off the step, the food was handed to me. Napkins probably should have been included as this was a messy sandwich. However, I enjoyed the meal and would definitely order it again. I've not been to their shop, however, this visit could sure inspire me to stop by there as I do live fairly close to it. Overall, I'm not quite willing to go 5-stars. However, this was a solid 4-star experience for me and I would definitely order again when they return to Statehouse Market.

The menu is a mix of bbq, soul and Southern style cooking. Cornbread, green beans, peach cobbler, etc., included. I had the bbq loaded baked potato with bbq beef brisket. The brisket is amazingly tender and moist. The potato was smothered in cheese, onions, jalapeños and bacon. Yum. The bbq sauces are very tasty. I had the tangy sauce which had a kick to it. My husband had the pork tenderloin sandwich. The pork was hand prepped and breaded and very good. The Sidewinder fries are the BEST in Indy area - hands down and the portion is generous. Everyone was stealing his fries. My granddaughter had the Kid's pork bbq slider with Mac and cheese. She also devoured a corn muffin. She loved her meal. Others had the Pork Bbq sandwich combo with backed beans. The beans are freshly prepared and crave worthy. Pork sandwiches had a generous amount of moist pulled pork. We ordered at the counter and food is prepared fresh so there's a bit of a wait during dinner hour. About half people get their food to go. Prices are reasonable - especially desserts. The dining area is small - maybe five tables. Seating is tight. The patio area outside is nice if the Indiana weather cooperates. I love this place.

However, in planning the meal it had inadvertently been overlooked that Pizzology didn't open until 4pm. So, making a quick change of plans meant that we stopped in at Rackz almost directly in front of the Pizzology building. In case it's not obvious, this is a BBQ joint. There's accessible parking, an appropriate curb-cut, and the entryway is a pretty easy to maneuver one-sided glass door that is level to the ground. I found the interior to be a pretty good layout. There's also outside dining that's available when the weather is appropriate. The menu is consistent with most BBQ joints. Rackz offers both dinners (two sides and drink plus meat) or sandwich combos (only one side). The price range is generally in the $10-20 range, though they also offer some family-style options that go higher. So, we're talking BBQ, pulled pork, pulled chicken, brisket, ribs, and there's even a breaded tenderloin sandwich. They also have a "veggie BBQ dinner." Don't ask me, but it's on the menu. Sides are creative ranging from sidewinder fries to potato salad, mac n' cheese, baked beans, glazed carrots (which I got the chance to try from a fellow diner - I really did like these), and a few other items. I was honestly very impressed with the menu. They also have kids meals and a couple of different Wick's Pies (the classic sugar cream and pecan). I opted for pulled chicken sandwich with sidewinder fries. As we know, I always get iced tea. I really wanted to go for the breaded tenderloin, but I had a full afternoon and that's a splurge for me. However, I was super happy with this meal and would easily order it again. Employees are friendly. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable. Rackz also offers catering and they do have a rewards program. While this is a bit out of my way, I'd easily return when in the area.

It's not very big. If you blink, you will pass it on the way to Six Points. Inside i think it might seat a dozen people. But the barbecue is everything I miss having moved here from Austin, Texas. It is a sauce-on-the-side affair so if you don't like it goopy and slick, you can just enjoy the smokey seasoned flavor of the meat. I got the rib and chicken combo plate. The ribs were excellent. I got the mild sauce, which on their little spice level chart is the second mildest sauce above "sweet", was just flavored enough to have some ground pepper spice (not heat) and still have a little sweet. I call it perfect. I'm not a fan of heat spice and it was just shy of knocking on the door. So don't be afraid of it. The chicken was juicy and had rosemary and some other aromatics I couldn't place. It was VERY good chicken. I doubled down on the green beans as a side. They were real green beans. They may have originally come in a can, but they were cooked with care and tasted homecooked with some flavor and smokey depth. If you are in the area, I would highly recommend stopping. You will not regret it.

I love that FatMans BBQ tells a story. I paid $24 online for the rib tip dinner with two sides. You do have to purchase bread if you want it which is $0.68 I believe. You can get the sauce on the side or on the meat as well. I like that they wrap everything up so it does not spill or lose heat. Very smart. Can't wait to try more things on the menu. They have many options and turkey options for the people who don't eat pork or beef. Can't wait to try more and the desserts. The ribs are delicious and the sauce is perfect. I got mixed hot and mild. The greens are a bit salty and the Mac and cheese is missing something. It could use some seasoning but not bad. Better than a lot of Mac and cheese I've had in Indy.
