    We came here on a whim for lunch as we were both craving something light but more on the heavy side. I ordered a bacon ranch burger with sweet potato fries. It was scrumptious!!! There is some sort of honey sauce they drizzle on top which makes it taste even more amazing and brings all the flavors together. I used some sort of chilli sauce for my sweet potato fries which paired nicely as well. For a drink I had one of their lemonades and the only downside is I couldn't get a refill, lol. The place was quiet and we had our meal within 15 minutes of ordering. If you're in a hurry you should definitely place your order ahead of time, but if not take the time to sit and enjoy your food. We were in during the later part of the lunch hour so it was not insanely busy which was nice. Unfortunately I do think you have to be specifically looking for this place to find it as the street is kind of off to the side, but once you know it's there, I guarantee you'll be going back several times. And what's even better is it's next to the canal so you can go for a walk too!

    A black-owned business that is also vegan and their food is amazing The owners are very engaging and helpful if you don't know what to order. I ordered the guacamole burger. This is a 100% plant based patty topped with guacamole and a teriyaki sauce. The flavors will have you rethinking your need to have red meat. It's a little pricy but well with it.

    Service was amazing. Such friendly staff! The food was good, but messy! Would have been nice to have knives. Would also like to see plates and silverware vs. carry out containers and plasticware for those dining in. The price was a little steep, but I'm willing to pay that for a great local business. You will need to pay to park, so be prepared for that.

    I would like to stay the staff was very friendly. The young lady worked in the register was very sweet. We had been doing some work, so we stopped in to get a bite to eat. The mac & cheese certainly looked fire, and I thought it was mediocre. Presentation was a five star. It was just the taste was not there for me. I felt the dill was overpowering. My daughter took one bite of it, and would not eat it. It totally may just be us because we are not typical, vegan cuisine eaters. Strawberry cake was also mediocre. But let's talk about that lemonade-Now that was five star! They've got that mastered! It's a cute little set up. I like the plants sitting around.

    Great food! I had the guac burger, which I believe was a beyond patty on a pretzel style bun. My friend got the loaded nachos. Both were absolutely fantastic. Service was great with the nice lady behind the counter explaining the options clearly. I also had a Lovely Lemonade and my friend had a cider. This would be a nice place to just get a coffee and work, too, if you were so inclined.

    Loaded vegan nachos (also gluten free)
    Kristin U.

    I was so pleased to see the food truck parked on Delaware during the Proof Lit Fest! After confirming that the nachos were gluten free, I ordered them. They were $15, which I think is a bit high. It did come in a fairly hefty container, loaded with sauce. There was some kind of vegan meat substitute on it, and it was pretty good! I think the nachos would've been better overall with the cheeze melted a bit--the shreds were just kind of there--and more lettuce added on top. The ratios seemed a little off for my taste. But I was glad to try these out at the event and I'll try more options at Black Leaf Vegan in the future--whether in shop or via the food truck again. The staff were friendly and quick to get my order out, and I'm sure they'd be just as kind in their other location.

    Black Leaf Vegan They were out of a few things when I went. I ended up trying the Crabless Crab Cake sandwich. It comes with ranch (which I don't like) so I subbed for mayo. It was good. I disliked their seasoned fries. They didn't taste fresh. They tasted like they were reheated from a frozen state. The potato salad was different but good. The Apple Pineapple Smoothie was delicious. I didn't like the Biscoff cake. It had the consistency of a typical gluten-free dough. I don't know if it was gluten-free, but that was what it reminded me of - thick and grainy. I was in Indy for a month but wasn't compelled to return to try more things. Customer service was very good though.

    Chicken quesadilla
    Megan W.

    I really wanted to love this place. I was excited to find a vegan restaurant in Indy! We came for an early lunch on a Saturday at 11:30am. Ordered crab cakes + fries and a chicken quesadilla. Pros: - Food was good. Visually, very appealing. Flavor wasn't super memorable, though. - Couch to sit on while we waited. - Ample seating. - Friendly staff. - Vegan! - Offered us sweet chili sauce instead of ketchup (though this was too spicy for my 5-year-old). - Parking in the garage next door was free but this may have only been temporary, because it looked like the system was broken. - Small, local business. Cons: - They wouldn't honor the Yelp check-in free beverage. Bummer, since that was something I was excited about! - A little expensive for the volume of food you get. Somehow it felt like our order cost more than what the menu prices listed..? - The food took a very long time to come out. - Others received their orders before us even though they ordered after us. - No Ketchup for fries. - No napkins?

    Clean space , great food and affordable.  I had the bagel (sausage and cheese) and it's delicious.
    Diana R.

    I'm traveling from Texas and this place is located inside the building . The place is clean , the staff is very friendly and the food is AMAZING. I had the bagel with sausage and cheese is delicious. The raspberries cake is moist with fresh raspberries. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming near the area.

    10/10. Lovee Black Leaf Vegan. The people are super sweet and the atmosphere is always amazing. Perfect place to meet up with friends for a bite!

    Are nachos gluten free? Gluten-free options?

    How do you have cheese if it's vegan?

    It's not cheese. They create it with some special recipe. But it is not cheese at all.

    Man, was I glad to see the Caveman Truck parked beside the Speakeasy after a few beer samples at…read morethe Indiana Tasting Society event! The menu offered a few different foods with multiple choices on sizes (by the ounce), and the lovely hostess taking our order was delightful. We had a really hard time deciding what to get as everything looked reeeeeeally good, but we opted to split the following: *Bacon Hash -- 4 oz for $4 -- well worth it! *Barnyard chili -- 8 oz for $7 -- pricy yet tasty *Jicama Tacos (one chicken guac and one chorizo aioli) -- 2 for $7 -- messy but pretty good *Fudge bites for dessert -- $3 for one -- dark chocolate, peanut butter, banana, sea salt, and applesauce mixed and formed in to a hockey-puck type solid mass. It was not really sweet like I expected, and kind of hard to eat. Probably wouldn't get it again. Next time I will totally get the Brussels Sprouts for myself when not sharing with the hubs :) I would say overall this was a 3 1/2 star experience for me as it was over $20 for 'snacks' and we were still hungry afterwards, but a star bump for using real, quality ingredients.

Still, I'll support a paleo food truck when the truck has "bacon (greater than) gluten" painted on the side of it. That's one way to get my attention for sure! On our visit my boyfriend and I shared two tacos--one chicken, one chorizo--fried plantains, and the brussel sprouts. I have so many nice things to say about all three. Instead of corn or flour, Caveman Truck uses fresh jicama as a tortilla to hold its protein + slaw + guac/aioli. It's the perfect starchy alternative to cut through the good greasiness of the chorizo. The plantains are not only fried in coconut oil beautifully, but also they are caked with a curry-based seasoning, providing you with a sweet plantain that also has some savory elements to it. The brussel sprouts--my favorite of the three--are fried in coconut oil and topped with an overload of crumbled bacon and a spritz of lime. It's a little bit of fatty, a little bit of zesty and a whole lot of flavor. All three dishes knocked it out of the park. From here on out, I'll be keeping an eye out for the Caveman Truck on the streets of Indy, because I still need to try the highly-praised barnyard chili and bacon hash. If this is how our ancestors ate, then I can't wait to eat the primal way again!

They offer burgers, mac & cheese, sausages, nachos, sandwiches, and of course some exotic hot dog. This is one of the most colorful trucks and you cannot miss it. Even though my interaction with them was very limited, the staff was nice enough. I ordered a jumbo Carolina Slaw Dog with a side of BBQ baked beans. The sides are already prepared and pre-packed, so my wait was not long. It took them less than 5 minutes to have my food ready. The beans were cold, but they did offer to heat them for me. I was heading straight home so I opted to just heat them up when I got there. My dog's bread was soggy, as expected. I am just throwing that out there for those people that soggy bread matters to. It was a delicious dog though and I really liked it. The beans were also pretty good and I enjoyed them as well. I highly recommend fining out where this truck is going to be and checking them out. They have a wide range of delicious food and some really unique dogs.
