Ohmyohmyohmy! This spot opened right after I left my job at the city county building. But I have finally made it back to that side of downtown to try the bbq, and now I'm having regrets about leaving (not really though tbh). This bbq is what I had been missing in my life. Between three of us we had pulled pork and chopped buffalo chicken. That chicken brought the heat. But I was so happy about it. Topped with blue cheese and accompanied with some mac and cheese, nothing could have made that sandwhich better. The bun was delicious and warm, the locally maybe house made chips had a perfect crunch to them. As for the pulled pork. It came with a nice vinegary slaw for those of us who are a fan of Carolina style bbq. You couldn't go wrong with any one if their sauces. Or be a purest and just enjoy the delicious smoked meaty goodness. Next time your at the city market, go here. And come early because they will sell out! read more

Super delicious food and great service. My husband had the brisket and a side of beans. I had the rib tips with a side of Spanish corn. Both meats were incredibly tender and delicate. The house pickles are better than grandma's (don't tell her!). We were there a little early and had fun conversation with the owner. I love that the meats are locally sourced and other products (chips and coffee) are supplied from other local businesses. We will definitely be back. read more

My pulled pork "Cuban" ($10) didn't quite look like the one pictured by the owners on this yelp site, which is a shame because the smallish portion on my Sammie was tasty, albeit not warmed up fully in the middle on the sandwich. The brisket baked beans which I ordered on the side ($3) were mostly ..... just baked beans, sadly. This was okay at best. Not much value for the $$$ and just meh. Perhaps if they heated it all up better, game me the slaw on the side (it was a mess to try and eat and not much on slaw at all on the Sammie). All and all,....nothing special. See my picture - the sliced meat at the bottom was actually the ham portion which was the highlight ?! Odd given this was supposed to be a bbq pork sandwich. read more

Gomez BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I tried the only Thursday and Friday Ribs. They're awful, dry, and overcooked. The dry rub used is actually tasty, but the meat itself is TRASH. The owner seems to be a nice gentleman, but he cooks below average BBQ ribs. I told him I'd be back to try the brisket; I might, but it's probably trash, too. I had high hopes for this place as his menu and photos of items look very palet appeasing, but I feel I wasted $19.62 on trash. Go elsewhere for Ribs. read more

This is some of the best BBQ I have ever tasted - anywhere. The wraps and bowls have perfect balance. They even sneak in some cool veggies. This is a go-to several times per week. This is at least one year after I posted about Gomez's. Still wonderful ! Still great people ! They come up with new twists on some standards that everyone in the office and family love ! The City Market is knocking it out of the park. Happy office - happy family ! read more

I noticed this place as I was driving by on my way to a chain sandwich restaurant for lunch. I followed my instinct and ate here instead. I'm so glad! The brisket was tender. The sauce was so good that I was glad to have bread to mop up every drop. Already looking forward to coming back. read more

UPDATE: Plenty of delicious sides now. Retried the pulled pork and it was perfect! Will definitely be going back. Old review: This is a new vendor at City Market. BBQ is one of my favorite things to eat so I decided I must give it a try. Prices are a bit steep ($8 and up for a sandwich with no sides) but I'm willing to pay for good food. I choose a staple of any good BBQ joint, a pulled pork sandwich. I got back to my desk and opened the wrapping... there's quite a bit of grease from the meat which is okay but would rather they try to drain that before putting on the bun (bottom bun now falling apart). The meat itself is pretty decent but there is barely any bbq sauce on the sandwich... which makes it somewhat difficult to eat with such a large amount of meat on it. The coleslaw on the sandwich is decent too. If I go back, I'll request extra bbq (hopefully there's no upcharge since there isn't really any on the sandwich) or try something else. I see the potential though. Will update once I've gone back. Side note: I typically expect BBQ places to have a few sides like mac n cheese or baked beans (I understand that it may be difficult to do in the market setting with limited space) but just chips? read more

Gomez BBQ - Pulled pork sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Gomez is really the only BBQ option in City Market but his consistent rotation of fun options and foodie-friendly combinations makes this an office favorite time and time again. Personally, I'm a big fan of Mike's soups (the white bean is spicy but FANTASTIC) and the hot ham and cheese. My coworker swears by the BBQ bowl with extra hot sauce from the bar. On days I'm feeling extra indulgent, I'll get the smoked chicken quesadilla. It's SO much food but it's hands down my favorite quesadilla in the city. read more

I am glad the Eastside has a good BBQ place now. And they have a good beer selection. Looking forward to dining here a lot.

This place is amazing! If you don't check out Gomez for their amazing sandwiches - you are missing out! The owner is fantastic - a great story f a lawyer who chose to follow his passion of smoking meat instead of practicing law! Very cool guy with a great story! He uses all Indian sourced pork! Big on local and partnerships! We tried the Tasso Ham & Cheese and it was unbelievable! Pickles, mustard, delicious Tasso ham and delightful cheese... give me more! Oh my! Also his house made bbq chips a partnership he created with Indy's own amazing chip company! Only sold at his place in City Market! Do t miss out! He has specials almost every day.... tomorrow he is serving a smoked ice cream root beer float! Omg. The avocado toast with pork belly is screaming my name too! Check out the sides of plantains too! We'll be back! Thank you!! read more

This place is the real deal. I balked at first because of the price. Ten dollars for a sandwich and no sides? Against my better sense I gave it a try. I ordered their baked bean, a side of slaw, and a pastrami sandwich. Pricy for a lunch at $15 with a water. First, the slaw. I actually asked about this before I ordered. I can't stand those really creamy slaws or ones that are dripping. Less is more, allowing one to focus on the flavor and not eating a pile or mayonnaise. The owner eased my worries and shared his same displeasure with too much mayo. This stuff is a triumph. It has this nice acidic flavor going on that's creates the perfect mix and then the horseradish gives a kick that makes this the best I've had. Ever. The beans were great. They were baked in a brisket that had decent chunks of meat through. The BBQ flavor was nice and sweet. No spice here! The pastrami sandwich. First the size. This thing is a behemoth. No wonder it's so expensive. It's the size of a dinner plate. And no deli sliced pastrami here! The meat was 1/4" thick. I could tell eating this would be a chore, purely based on size. Alas, I powered through. The flavors and quality of meat were perfection. My stomach groaned in a bittersweet manner, thanking me for the meal while attempting not to rupture from excess. I highly recommend this place. The gentleman that took my order seemed a bit lacking in the customer service department but the food (and their awesome countertop) more than made up for it. read more

Hello duck pastrami! Where have you been all my life? What a deliciously smoky meat. This sandwich is so satisfying. Served on nice crunchy, crusted bread which is browned on the griddle, lots of gooey melted cheese, very thin homemade pickle slices, mustard and the paper thin slices of duck. The Slaw has a nice bite of horseradish. The bbq Chips had a nice kick of heat. read more

First time trying this place out and got the Avacado toast with pork belly and pickled onions on it and it cost $8. Side dish of bourbon corn that they say the corn is cooked in the bourbon which is $3. Then a drink for a couple dollars. Now the avacado toast was great the bourbon corn was just ok and had the feel of canned corn with a bourbon flavor. But all and all I would try maybe an other side but when you are dishing out $13-15 for a meal and drink next to places under $10 for a meal it needs to make you say wow. Might get a main here and pair with another meal from so where else to keep the cost a little down. read more

I know Gomez BBQ has been around for a while in various different capacities but now they have a popup at city market! We just tried it this afternoon. I had a bbq-uban (Cuban sandwich with pulled pork, ham, Swiss, pickles, slaw, seedy mustard on a sweet roll) and my boy got the breakfast sandwich (ham, chorizo, runny egg, cheese, charred green onions and some type of tasty aioli). Both were delicious and we fought over the last bites of each. Definitely check this place out! read more

So I walk by here everyday for work, and before even having any of the food, the smells were drawing me in. After having actually tried some of the food this is a definite stop if you wanted some smoked meats in Indianapolis! The prices are pretty great, almost everything clocks in at under $10 on the menu and fills you up. They have a few things on the menu that are there week after week, but then they have a rotating menu of specials. The bbq bowl is one of my favorite things on the menu, they have have that basmati style rice that is thin and tasty, then it is piled on with bbq pork or chicken, pork rind dust, coleslaw, bbq sauce and probably other things I am forgetting, but it makes for a delicious and filling meal by itself. I have also tried the duck pastrami (Awesome!) and the Tasso ham and cheese (Amazing!), both of which were on their specials menu so they may not be around much longer if still there at all. They also have good baked beans and for a while had a cajun potato salad. Another nice little treat that they have is that they take the chips from the Amazing Chip company and cover them with their own bbq seasonings and it turns out really well. I want to try their cuban sandwich, because I saw someone order it the other day and it was looked tasty. We also bought a couple packages of their smoked meatballs and used them in a spicy spaghetti style dish at home and their were INCREDIBLE! 3 huge meatballs came in each package and they were really good and smoky. I look in the case whenever i walk by in case there are more. Stop by this great spot when you hit up the city market and once they get a brick and mortar shop of their own I'm sure I will be going there. read more

I stopped by the City Market today to test out the new location for Gomez BBQ. I tried the Pulled Pork Sandwich and I was not disappointed. YUMMMM. The staff was super friendly and efficient! Anyone who frequents the City Market can tell you sometime the lines can get long especially during the Original Farmer's Market on Wednesdays. However, we were in and out in no time today! Everyone must check out the business and show them some Indy love at their new location. Your taste buds and your friends will thank you! read more

I recently visited the City Market a few weeks ago and I normally bolt towards the taco stand or some of the other offerings at the CM. However, that day, the whiff of smoked meats filled my nose. I dropped by Gomez BBQ to try some of the smokey meats they prepare. I am also a huge fan of cuban sandwiches. If you can put some smokey pulled pork on a cuban, I am sold! Today, I was in pork heaven. The sandwich had the perfect mix of the smokey pulled pork, delicious, salty ham, high quality mustard, and briney pickles, all flattened to a crispy perfection. The sandwich was about $10, which is a steal for the quality of the product. I will definitely be bolting towards Gomez BBQ, the next time I visit the City Market! read more

I was in Indianapolis for a work conference and craved dinner before the two-hour drive home. I walked from the Capital building to Circle Center Mall to City Market and was so happy that I didn't settle for an overpriced chain restaurant. I was greeted by the owner and served a monster pulled pork BBQ sandwich with pickles. I'm not a slaw fan so I subbed the brisket baked beans in its place and added a locally-crafted soda. If you are in Indy, this place is a must-have. When you have good food and drinks, the passion for their craft comes through. It is clear that Gomez is passionate about his authentic BBQ and has the same standards for his sides and extras. Get here. Eat this. Thank me later. read more

You can expect high quality with whatever you order here! Such a fantastic experience and I can't wait to make this my regular spot for coffee! Thank you Michael for bringing a great service to east side Indy! read more

The Cuban is pretty damn good. $10.90 with tax. Filling and tasty. A little pricey...hence 2 stars. Greeted with smile and a hit Sandwich to order. I'm guessing during lunch time can get a little crazy. Anyway, not much to say, other than it's worth a 1 time visit... next time the breakfast sandwich read more

I caught Gomez BBQ at Hotel Tango this past Friday afternoon, and it was one of the best BBQ meals I've ever had. I had the Chi Town Sandwich with a "Piggy Back" (pulled pork piled on top). The sandwich had an excellent giardiniera with a delicious Carolina BBQ sauce. The sausage was outstanding, juicy, and perfectly cooked. Throwing the pork on top took this sandwich out of this world. It was phenomenal, and I'll be searching out Gomez BBQ to get it again. My wife and her mom had the Pulled Pork sandwich, and my wife, who loves pulled pork, said "This is the best pulled pork I've ever had!" Mike, the chef, was friendly, willing to chat, and proud to talk about his food. All around, Gomez BBQ is great stuff, and I look forward to catching him again soon! I'm already craving another Chi Town with a Piggy Back! If you're looking for good BBQ, this is the place to go! read more

I'm a fan. I tried the chicken sandwich and it is HUGE. Flavorful and juicy, and the bbq sauce is perfectly spiced.

We chose Mike to cater an event for us because of his great reputation and we were not disappointed. Mike and his team put together an amazing dinner for my wife and I's rehearsal dinner hosted at Hotel Tango. It was so delicious and our guests were in love with the whole menu. We cannot say enough good things about the food. read more

Just had a delicious chicken enchilada. Best enchilada I have had in a very long time. Next time I plan on trying the burnt ends. #delicious

Awesome BBQ this guy can do no wrong lo e the BB-Quban Where else in the city can you get a Candy Bacon BLT read more

Wasn't really feeling the love when I came here. Ordered and there were really no pleasantries such as "hello" or "thank you". If you order chips, take it from the basket right next to the register. I did not, the cashier did not offer or say to, and when I was handed my sandwich, from another gentleman, I asked for the chips I ordered. He went over, grabbed from the basket, mumbled a little, and all I picked up was "right in front of your face". Ok, whatever, customer service isn't your thing, how about your food. I ordered the BB-quban, the meat seemed to be good quality with a nice soft bun but this was way over salted. Almost like they spilled the salt shaker on the meat. Finally, they do not have water, I asked for a cup of water when ordering and was told that they only have sparkling water. Therefore, I went without water while eating my overly salty sandwich. This place has only been here for about a month and at this rate, I don't think they will last long. read more

We had a birthday party upstairs at City Market and Gomez BBQ catered for us and everything was done to perfection! Everyone raved about the chicken and pork and sides. The owner, Mike, was so accommodating and took care of our constant requests. Thanks to you and your team! read more

I tried Gomez BBQ today. Indianapolis is severely lacking in BBQ and Gomez fills the void. I had the brisket sandwich with coleslaw on in. The meat is plentiful, tender, and smoky. The bun holds up well even with the sauce, meat, and coke slaw trying to fight its integrity. The coleslaw on the sandwich gives a nice contrast to the soft bun and tender brisket. There are also a few acidic pickles on the sandwich that chime in with some needed tang. I'm a fan. The rest of the menu looks interesting and I'll be back to check it out. read more

Got the bbq bowl, amazing!!! Amazing meat rice beans coleslaw. I could eat it every day. Service was quick and workers were very friendly! Can't wait to come back and try more things on the menu!! read more

I was really excited to see that this place was open. I love BBQ and I know the owner has a passion for it. So! I made a trip to the market, specifically to visit and try it out. The food was good but the service was salty. I want to be a fan and I understand that not everyone is Mary Sunshine, but it would be an improvement if these guys settled for cordial. I don't know if I'll go back. read more

This place is no joke. This was my first trip to their space at City Market, but have previously enjoyed their pork at an event once. I ordered the Smoked Pastrami (rye, mustard, thin pickles, swiss). It's a masterpiece. The meat is precisely as it should be. Thick enough slices, with some stray pieces breaking away. Wonderful smoke on it, still a little bit of fat on it, which makes it so delectable. Nicely toasted/grilled rye, which holds up nicely, I might want a little bit more mustard, but just a wonderful sandwich. I prefer this to Shapiro's and Katz (NYC), I realize they are different sandwiches. Yes, everything is a la carte, so prices are higher than pretty much any other BBQ place around. I passed on the sides today. read more

What a great person! I met the owner at Tomlinson Tap Room and what a friendly person. Can't say enough about him. He is growing, he has great vision and is going places. If you have an opportunity to sample his food, you will not be disappointed. Check it out! read more

Someone recommended this spot to my husband and me and raved about it - but I'm gonna give this place a full meh rating. I'm sure people who live around here think it's delicious - good for them, at least they have this place for barbecue. The food is fine. It's filling and might be exactly what you're looking for if you're craving barbecue. The staff seemed annoyed we were ordering, which was odd considering we weren't there anywhere near closing hours - if anyone might consider even that a reason to be curt to customers. I'm leaving this review for people like me who'd rather spend money with businesses who aren't inconvenienced to be doing business. read more

Candy Bacon BLT = insanely good! And the guys are friendly when you hang out and eat at the counter. I'll be back!!

I had Gomez BBQ at Hotel Tango. I've had pulled pork all over the country and this was some of the best I've had. It is by far the best I've had in Indiana. Michael was great and friendly as well. read more

This bbq was so good that it's inspired me to sign up for yelp and write a review. It's the best bbq I've had since moving to the Midwest 1 year ago. For $11 I got more than enough food- a huge sandwich overflowing with pulled pork, a sizeable portion of brisket baked beans, and perfectly tangy coleslaw. It was all so delicious. The owner is a nice guy to boot. I'm only in town temporarily, but if I lived in Indy I'd be a regular here for sure! read more
