While I'd previously had Droopy's BBQ as part of the weekly Statehouse Market, for some reason I'd never reviewed this food truck that showed up in the Indianapolis area in 2017.
If you can't guess, Droopy's focuses on BBQ related items. They do have a truck that says "Droopy's Indy Eats." I'm unsure if this is a separate truck or if they've actually expanded somewhat, but it does seem like this truck also offers mostly the same items.
The Droopy's menu is fairly modest with a handful of sandwiches, side items, and your usual selection of food truck drinks (soft drinks, water).
The sandwiches include brisket, pulled pork, chicken breast, the Carolina (essentially pulled pork with cole slaw on it), and occasionally a couple add-ons. It's a small but mighty menu. Sides include mac n' cheese, BBQ beans, green beans, greens, Texas Spicy Slaw, and some other options on occasion. The sandwiches are in the $8-10 range and I believe all come on a brioche bun.
The Statehouse Market can be quite chaotic, but I was already impressed by the calm demeanor of those working. The line moved quickly and the food was served incredibly quickly, but was still hot. They offer several sauce options, as well.
I ordered the chicken breast, though if you're expecting some slab of fast food chicken you should think again. This chicken breast is, quite simply, mind-boggling in presentation and taste. It's dry rubbed, smoked, and just incredibly tender. The serving size is quite generous. It actually is a bit bigger than the bun, though it's presented so nicely it just looks perfect. It also tastes perfect. Quite honestly, I was in awe of it and even writing about it now I find I want it again.
It took me a few minutes to eat it - I love that. I hate it when I pay several bucks for a sandwich that disappears in 30 seconds. It's all too common, but not the case here. I did not order a side, though as I sat there I could tell the mac n' cheese was quite popular.
Droopy's caters corporate events and can be found around town quite often. When Statehouse Market comes around, I frequently go for the pizza. However, I truly can't wait for the return of Droopy's. They do have a Facebook page and you can find out more about them there. read more
