Basically, if you internalize that it's a cafeteria style and stick to the strengths--sliced meat and baked goods--you can't go wrong. Just know that everything is in a steam tray, and work around that accordingly.

I love Shapiro's! It's an Indianapolis staple and consistently delicious. I have had both the…read morepastrami on rye and the corned beef on rye and while I think I prefer the corned beef, both are excellent. There are affordable options with their "Rebecca" sandwiches, which are smaller portions for less. Definitely a place everyone needs to try if you haven't been before!

I have recently been to Goose twice, both for different things. The first visit was for the bacon…read moremaking class, and the second was to pick up my bacon, and trying some of the sandwiches they have. Bacon making class: overall I am glad I did the class, but think there are some things that could change. The information provided at the beginning of the class didn't flow the best, and used a lot of terms I didn't understand- knowing your audience is important. We were told we would get 1.5lbs bacon, and .5lbs bacon bits. When picking up the bacon, we only got the bacon, and none of the bits. This needs to be updated on the class description. Sandwiches: we tried a goose, and a batalli. The goose was good- nothing spectacular. I was a fan of the batalli- nice amount of mayo, appropriate spice, and good amount of meat/cheese. Would definitely get the batalli next time. Overall, I enjoy the sandwiches, think the sandwich class could be improved.

What a fun spot for a sandwich or cheese or sundry items!…read more It is on the corner of two busy streets but does have two spots in front for parking. You can also park in the gravel lot across the road. It was raining pretty heavily so we got wet but wasn't a far dash. The counter is like any deli with the items displayed in the cold case. You can browse the various freezers or shelves for items like picked veggies, canned fish or spreads. It was fun to see that you could buy everything needed for a picnic or impromptu lunch! We got sandwiches to go as well as locally baked cookies. I tried the recommendation for a vegetarian sandwich. It was nice and crusty and had some good flavor. I might create my own next time, but theirs was good and had lots of flavor! My friend was new to Indianapolis and really liked the options. She said she would be back and so will we. They also do tasting events and other things so we might check out one of their offerings. A fun local spot!

I had the PhillySpecial which was good but I would have gotten a simpler Philly if I had to do it again. Too much going on there. Wife had the bacon wrapped hot dog (can't remember menu name) but it was amazing! We had the loaded beer cheese fries too and they were the bomb. This is a PA/Philly joint so if you like the Eagles and Phillies, it is your vibe for sure. Right next to a brewery as well which had great beer. You can order your food and sit at the brewery bar. Highly recommend.

Food: lame Price: expensive!…read moreService: not friendly Atmosphere: SUPER WEIRD... dimly lit, Deer-butt wallpaper and clowns??? My husband and I had never been here before and the lady at the counter was less than friendly. She did tell us the menu was on the other wall. My husband got a Diet Coke that came in a can and we both got a classic plate minus the toast. 2 eggs, 2 sausage patties... nothing special including the presentation. The price for each plate was $18 plus a $2 can of coke and a tip they didn't deserve brought our total to a little over $40. The eggs were flavorless and literally had no seasoning. I did appreciate that the sausage patties weren't greasy. That was about the only good thing. The decor looked like they took whatever thrift stores couldn't sell with no particular theme. Funny enough, we went out for breakfast a few days later to a DIFFERENT PLACE and for the SAME PRICE got way more food, better quality food, better presentation, full table service, friendly service, great atmosphere, and an overall wonderful experience. Overall, I would not recommend this place. We left feeling like we got ripped off and I could have made the same thing better at home.

I ordered the country breakfast with fried chicken. The chicken was crunchy and delicious but I would've wished that the gravy had more flavor. It was pretty bland. I added my own salt&pepper but the overall meal would've been better if it had more flavor since the gravy covered everything. My sister ordered waffles and a side of bacon which she said was good as well. She only wished the bacon was fried harder because it was not as crispy especially since it was a thick piece of bacon. Overall good experience and hope to return to try a sandwich!

There are lots of sides to choose from. The price is a little high for just a sandwich with no sides. You have to wait in line to order at the counter and then the food is brought out to you at the few tables in an adjacent room. There is little ambience but just good and quick food. I took the opportunity to stock my freezer with good meats from the butcher shop when I left.

I went with a Malibu and ginger ale, and it was served in this cute glass, I loved it! We were all so hungry, so we started out with a large order of fries, and they are a standout. They disappeared fast, came served on paper, and were crispy, hot, and delicious. We ordered the 2 10-piece wings (the biggest order available), including one batch cooked extra crispy. The wings were good, and I especially enjoyed the Fat Dan's hot BBQ sauce over the regular BBQ. I really liked the extra crispy wings. My boys also wanted burgers. One ordered the Wake N Bake Burger and the other got the Fat Dan's Burger. Both looked tasty, and neither of them complained. The ambiance strikes a nice balance between sports bar and family friendly restaurant. There is seating both inside and outside, and when the weather is nice, they open the large doors to create an open-air feel. That's where we sat, and I enjoyed it. Service was quick and efficient, which was much appreciated since my family arrived hungry. This is a solid spot for burgers, wings, and fries.

We both remembered getting the salchipapas & they were great for something so simple. This time my wife got the lechon & I cannot remember the name of mine (it was a sandwich with steak, onions & fries on it It's new & our server said it was her first favorite & my wife's was her second.) Both of these were outstanding!! I don't like soggy fries, but these didn't get too soggy, but did have a lot of flavor. We are seriously get back here sooner rather than later. The service was great! Everyone was friendly & the prices weren't too bad. I struggle with becoming a grumpy old man who thinks everything costs too much, but this was very good for what we paid.
