I've stopped in here a few times over the past five years and will say that my rating on this review may be low because of the construction going on which limits the store size/options currently as well as the lack of fresh produce that is in abundance during the summer and fall. During my visit, the deli seemed to be doing okay with its line of Boar's Head meats and cheeses. There were also some displays of local, artisan type food items available. Where the grocery falls short is that they simply don't have that much room to carry a large variety of packaged items like the big box stores. So, if you are fond of supporting local businesses and don't mind making a special trip, you can enjoy shopping here. But if you expect to get all your shopping done at one place, then this may be an occasional stop. Review #3696
I'm a long time fan of Broccoli Bill's. But their website and Yelp promo is way out of date. Caplinger's fish is gone. Sanibel fish is gone. Slapfish is in. So is Hot Toddy's baked goods are in. The deli is grossly underrated and not featured with Fresh salads and Entrees daily. Sundae's ice cream is fabulous, another hidden gem. You would not know about any of this online. It's a diamond in the rough, but you have to dig for it.
Broccoli Bills is such a cool little place. They've completely remodeled it to include Slapfish(a great restaurant), and ice cream bar, a dessert bar, and all kinds of cool grocery finds to make a great meal. More important, everyone seems to love their job. I really Appreciate that. The only bummer is that they don't have a great meat counter. Deli, yes, but I'd love to be able to pick up a great steak.
I'm going to take a bet that on your first excursion to Broccoli Bill's, you're going to drive right by it and not realize you missed it. {If you reach Guerin Catholic High School, you've gone too far north}. BB is located where Westfield/Carmel/Noblesville intersect. Owner Bill has expanded his operation over the years, adding new products, more seating and more vendors. Caplinger's Fresh Catch and Cuts just opened up shop inside the newly rebranded Broccoli Bill's Gray Road Market, and Natural Born Juicers of Mass Ave has a stand, too. Yay for incubating local businesses! Good amount of parking and an impressive amount of cafe style seating, making it a great place to grab a juice, get a fresh fish sandwich and sit down and enjoy in-house. Don't forget the fresh pastries and bread made in the BB kitchen, or the famous chicken salad!
I really wanted to love this place. It took over the space left vacant by Caplinger's in Noblesville inside Broccoli Bill's. The portion sizes we're larger than I expected and everything was a good deal for the price. We tried the calamari and clam chowder to start. The calamari was a bit overdone but would have had potential otherwise. The clam chowder had large chunks of potatoes but seemed a bit skimpy on the clams and was pretty runny. I like a thicker chowder. I ordered the fish and shrimp both done crispy (a less fattening sounding word for fried). Both were lightly coated with a cornmeal batter. Like the calamari, I found the shrimp to be a bit overdone. The fish was good but not a wow. My husband had the broiled fish and I liked that better. My meal came with 2 mini hush puppies and cole slaw. The hush puppies were my favorite thing and I wish they had been a bit bigger. The coleslaw was not cold which made it less appetizing. I am glad I tried it. I love checking out new places, but it wasn't a wow.
Confession: I had low expectations. Nothing they had done or things I had heard. In fact, I hadn't heard of it all. You're telling me there's somewhere I can go for delicious fried fish and I've never heard of it? No way. Went for lunch one day and got the fried shrimp and fish combo. Sure, grilled or blackened would have been healthier....but when fried fish is an option, you choose fried fish. The staff was super friendly and most importantly, my food was realllllly good. Their tartar sauce is really tasty, which isn't always the case at places. The steak fries were hot and crispy and the batter on the fish had the perfect amount of seasoning. I will definitely be returning!
5 words to explain this place:: A PARTY IN YOUR MOUTH This is not my 1st experience at Broccoli Bill's but each time gets better and better. The food is always fresh and hot and so good. My sister and I visit this place every time I come to town and visit her. Overall great food and great seeing
I had heard and read about Broccoli Bill's and motivated by my nice healthy lunch at Essence Cafe, decided to stop in and pick up items to whip up a dinner salad. The location is very cute and the building that houses this specialty market is immaculately maintained inside and out. However, I think I must have stopped by on a day or at a time when the stock was a little low. I'm guessing that weekends are when the most produce is available - or maybe I just expected a lot more local stuff. The corn, tomatoes and peaches all looked good, but I didn't see the overflowing bins of other fruits and veggies that I was anticipating. One big disappointment was not finding good lettuce - the two Romaine heads I did see arranged on the crushed ice were a little wilted so I ended up selling out and getting a bag of Romaine for my masterpiece. What I did like was the selection of staples, deli items (Boar's Head) and frozen foods. I picked up a portobello pasta sauce and some whole wheat pasta - thinking ahead to another of this week's dinners. The deli case was well stocked and the freezer had a fair selection of Schwan's items in it, which I don't recall ever seeing in a grocery before. The ice creams in particular caught my eye, but I stayed strong :-) I like the concept of Broccoli Bill's - it's sort of like a closer, fancier Stuckey's Orchard market store, only with a deli. They don't have everything here, but I think it provides a moment of nostalgia for those of us who remember mom-n-pop grocery or specialty food stores. The woman who waited on me at the register was very friendly and easy to converse with and took here time while ringing me up - that's something you don't always find at the mega-marts.
This is a great little market in Noblesville that's expanding to add Caplinger's fish market and Natural Born juicers. Both are great additions. Stop on in to pickup some of the best blackberries ever Surreal farms. There is a variety of fresh friuts. Make sure you take home some chicken salad and some slap yo mama potato salad (we at least thats what it will make you wanna do)
Hidden treasure for sure!!! Our group had a decent sampling of the shrimp offerings, crispy, grilled, Fire, small, large... all of it was terrific. The swai fillet was outstanding, super crunchy. The hush puppies were small, but really flavorful. Our sides were slaw, Mac & cheese, jambalaya, and a baked potato; everything was delightful. We will certainly be back to try more.
Great selection for a small farm market. Incredible service. The gentleman who helped me out was so nice and helped me find some good juice for the baby. Really like this place, and I will return. Very very clean. Nice mom selection outside. Very attractive little place. We will be back for lunch.

Broccoli Bills sells local produce and is family owned so I'm happy to pay a bit extra for their Indiana corn. Had it for the first time recently and it was delicious!! So good I gifted some to a friend. Coming here is more convenient than waking up early for the farmers market too. Need to try their peaches and cherries next time! It's in the same building as Slap Fish and a cute lil bakery with yummy cookies called Hot Toddy's. Plenty of parking and outdoor seating as well. They are dog friendly. The staff is always helpful and friendly at all three places here. read more

This hidden little deli makes fresh, made to order, sandwiches that taste incredible. We stopped for lunch yesterday. Sandwiches are only $8 and for $2 more select a gourmet side and drink. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. I ordered a tuna sandwich with marinated Greek salad and ice tea. The sandwich was prepared quickly and the multigrain bread was fresh and nutty. The Greek salad was a meal in itself! Soooo good! The salad had paper thin noodles in a vinegar seasoning that was tangy and delicious. My husband had the roast beef sandwich, which was packed with meat and cheese. He loved it. A staff member checked on us to see if we needed anything while we were eating. There is plenty of seating and patio seating as well. The space is shared with Slapfish. I think parking can get tight during peak hours, but there were not many people during Saturday lunchtime. The market also sells fresh veggies, staples and locally made products. This deli is a slam dunk in my book. I'll be back. read more

I ordered 4 fresh broaster chicken thighs and said I would wait. They confirmed they had them and so I paid. Once I paid they then told me I would have to have the last piece of chicken under the heater and only 3 fresh pieces. It was 3pm so the chicken in the case was sparse and looked dried out. (That is why I ordered them fresh!) They ended up putting one piece of the dried out thighs in my box and put the fresh ones on top. She was rude when I asked about it and said "I've been cooking chicken all day." I'm sorry but if I ordered fresh, I expect fresh. read more

Right now you can get boars head deli meats, deli salads, bakery items, fresh produce local produce and products. Very nice, friendly, staff Nice outdoor seating Loved the potato salad read more
I absolutely love the Gray's Road Market! I ordered food from the Sanibel Seafood Company, which is fairly new, and I loved it! The fish was fresh and cooked to perfection. I also loved my corn on the cobb and hush puppies. There also is tons of fresh and healthy food to buy from the market after you are done eating. There are a few other places to get food from in the market too, so I would love to check those out soon. This is the ideal spot for a relaxing and healthy lunch, any day of the week. I 100% would recommend eating here! read more

This place is delicious. Went for lunch, the food came out quick and the staff was super friendly. We had the Sanibel Basket and the Fish n Chips (both crispy), the breading was perfect, the collared greens were soooo good, and red beans and rice were incredible. The steak fries were also super crispy! Gotta love a place that serves crispy fries! I absolutely recommend this seafood place to anyone in the Indy area! read more

What a find! To start off the prices are phenomenal. Welcoming owner you can chat it up with. Cleanliness like you wouldn't believe. Produce looks like it was just harvested. Build your own sandwiches for around five bucks. Great looking deli salads. read more

Store is ok, love the lobster rolls. But I found out 4 of breads have mould :( it's extremely unprofessional for a store to sell bad&out of date foods. read more
This market has fresh fruits and vegetables, some of which are grown less than 3 miles away! They also have a great selection of deli meats (Boar's Head) and cheeses, fresh bread and pastries. Recently, the market has expanded and partnered with Caplinger's Fresh Catch Seafood Market to provide a variety of seafood for sale. If shopping makes you hungry, there's an extensive selection of fresh sandwiches (chicken salad, tuna, lobster roll, etc.) and salads (potato, pasta, etc.) to whet your appetite! read more

Great little place tucked away in Noblesville with a selection of really fresh fruits and veggies, along with a deli counter that makes a mean chicken salad and a potato salad you'd be proud to bring to a bbq. The blackberries offered at the Yelp event tonight were the biggest, sweetest, juiciest I've had in so long. Definitely worth the trip from any side of town. The coming expansion has lots to offer so I can't wait to return and see what this place will be like once it's finished! read more

On Friday 2/22/19 we had their "all you can eat fish fry dinner", which was excellent. The $9 price included a side and a drink. The fish fillets were delicious, with a crispy fine corn meal and seasoning coating. It was a very generous portion, so we did not need seconds. Cole slaw was fresh with a nice dressing which was flavored with a few celery seeds. The cooked collard greens were A+! Chef Isaac is delightful! The Friday Fish Fry is every Friday through the Spring. read more
