I've had the chance to order from the Serendipity Food Truck a couple of times. The tacos were good but the crab cakes were amazing ... fresh and full of flavor, the sauce on the crab cake sandwich gives it a special kick. The truffle fries are delicious too. read more

They did an amazing job catering and serving for our fraternity mom's weekend with 295 people! We served minis that included filets, crab cakes, buffalo chicken, chimi burgers, blue turkey, black bean burgers, beef wellington, stuffed prawns, chicken cordon bleu, roma points and ahi crisps. Food was amazing! Moms were impressed! I highly recommend them for events. read more

Serendipity has been a regular at downtown Indy's Statehouse Market for quite some time. I've always been intrigued, but I'll confess that I get into my usual routine and often find myself sticking to familiar trucks. Today, I was on my way over to one of my familiar trucks and noticed the line was a bit longer than my time for lunch would allow. I looked around and saw that Serendipity had a fairly reasonable line and it seemed to be moving fairly quickly. So, today, I finally checked out Serendipity. Serendipity Mobile Catering offers the usual food truck option along with catering. They actually have two mobile kitchens - a 22-foot truck capable of serving up to 300+ depending on their menu. They also have a 16-foot truck that Serendipity actually built themselves and customized for their own needs. While it seems like it would be smaller, it can actually serve up to 500+ depending on the menu. Both trucks are quite well equipped and that equipment is backed by employees who are seriously on their game. At Statehouse Market, the menu tends to stay fairly modest with a handful of key items. Options include crab cake minis, elk burger minis, red mole chicken tacos, a Cubano, a grilled cheese option, a pick two option, a rice bowl, and some side options. They typically also offer a handful of bottle/can beverage options. I'd never tried an elk burger and was intrigued. The meal included 2 Elk burger on toasted brioche with gournay cheese and Piquillo coulis. Hand-cut fries are included as a side. The price was $14. I was seriously impressed with how quickly items were prepared, yet they all tasted fresh and everything was delicious. I'm not the most adventurous eater, however, I really loved the elk burgers and despite being "mini" burgers I definitely felt like I had a quality meal that filled me up. The employees were friendly and helpful. They placed the items in a container (it looked compostable) and it was easy for me to carry. The Serendipity menu is a bit adventurous with me - especially with toppings, etc. However, I was quite pleased and would easily return. Elk burger tends to be lighter and it was cooked just delightfully. The seasoned fries were fantastic. The Statehouse Market season is winding down, however, I'm hoping I get at least one more time to check out Serendipity again. They have everything I hope for from a food truck and there's no doubt this was an upper tier meal for me. It took me a long time to try Serendipity, but it sure won't take me a long time to return. read more

Wanted to try for some time and was excited to have their mobile truck come to our neighborhood especially with restaurant dining closed due to pandemic. Ordering was easy to manage online and pay. Then we were given a time frame window of when our order would be ready for pickup. Cuban was by far my favorite. I'm not a fan of crab cakes but tried a bite of my husband's and was pleasantly surprised. Crab cakes, fries and burgers were also good. Kids split the kids meal cheeseburger that cake with two sliders. Everyone really enjoyed their dinner and we look forward to hopefully having the food truck visit the neighborhood again! Thank you! read more

Walked the two block from GenCon to the truck (corner of Madison and South) and it was time WELL spent! Their crabcake sliders are simply off the chain. They're the best crabcakes I've had outside of Baltimore harbor in Maryland! The fries were spot on perfect, the service was fast, and they were just happy doing what they were doing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

We were blown away by Serendipity! Their mobile catering service is truly unique--able to make any type of food for your occasion right from their trucks. Not only was the food amazing, but the team was incredibly kind and professional, ensuring everything ran smoothly. They helped make sure the right people were in the right spots during our wedding, and their attention to detail made all the difference. We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience! We got their recommendation from our Wedding Venue Willow Acres. read more

AMAZING FOOD! If you are looking for a good tasty meal look no further. Serendipity is your stop! From the time I placed my order until I received my food was minutes! Must try! read more

Serendipity was at the Speedway's Food Truck Fridays at Daredevil Brewery. This was our first Food Truck Friday's at Daredevil Brewery. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate at 44 degrees and rain. However, I really wanted to try the crab cakes and truffle fries so we ignored the weather. All the positive reviews are not wrong! The crab cakes and truffle fries were phenomenal! The crab cakes had very little filler, cooked perfectly and delicious! The truffle fries were also amazing!! I loved the crispy fries and the unique flavor. Not only was the food excellent but the presentation was gorgeous. Not what I expected from a food truck. The owners were super friendly, appreciated I'd seen them on Indy Style and reassured me I'd love my order. I wish they had a storefront. We were lucky enough to take our meals into the Daredevil Brewery to escape the brutal outdoor elements. Their my husband had the Daredevil Octoberfest beer. I look forward to Food Truck Friday returning to Daredevils once Spring returns. read more

While the sliders were good and the service was friendly, the French fries served weren't fully cooked and it was like biting into a partially raw potato which kind of disappointed me. It may have just been them rushing to serve the school staff, but I'd rather wait a few minutes longer for fully cooked French fries than them rushing to get food served. read more

They catered my families wedding, and that food WAS SLAPPING!!! They handled a huge crowd!! Definitely copped some seconds!! Without a doubt would recommend for future events! read more

We were at Triton Brewery and they had a number of food trucks so we were excited to try. I have to say that Serendipity was my least favorite. We had the Meatloaf Minis ($10) with a side of fries and upgraded to Truffle fries for a dollar. The fries were really soggy and the Meatloaf minis lacked seasoning. A friend ordered the gumbo/stew and it smelled lovely with a side of mac and cheese and a salad. He seemed content. Food: 2/5 Service: 3/5 read more

I am OBSESSED with their "Midwest" grilled cheese. It's super grown up in the most delicious way. It's different every time, because they craft the recipe based on what sort of stuff is in season. This week, my grilled cheese had peaches and gouda on it! It was a drool-worthy combination. If you're going to get fries (and you should), make sure you spend the extra $1 to "truffle up" those potatoes! Truffle fries are like crack. You'll be addicted from the first bite and beg for more. Oh, and there's "always money in the banana stand." Check out their cool tip jar, which is decorated to look like the banana stand from Arrested Development. I don't often tip at food trucks, but that little banana stand is just too darn cute! It always earns at least a buck from my wallet. They deserve it. The service is friendly and as fast as possible given the culinary creations they are making ON A TRUCK! Um, some other awesome things...love the cuban sandwich, love the elk burger sliders, and the mini crab cakes are insanely good. I've never tried the tacos, but I'm sure they're awesome as well. read more

Oh my word. This food truck is the bomb.com. Our company hired this food truck to come serve the staff and can I say, no one was disappointed. Their menu is fantastic and I had a hard time deciding on what I wanted to eat. I settled on the Blu Turkey which included some blueberry jam, onions, chevre, and arugula on a turkey slider. OMG what a combo. If you've had a few turkey burgers in your life you know that it is very easy for those suckers to get dry. Not these, they were cooked to absolute perfection! Also I don't know what they did to make their slider buns so delicious (I'm guessing butter) but those were just the perfectly toasted pairing for my juicy turkey burger. I also ordered their tots - which the answer is yes - you do want to go for their option of "truffling them up". They are not your traditional cafeteria tots but rather a home-made haystack-like tot. They were dense but also cooked just right! There was nothing I didn't love about this food truck and I would happily order from them again because there were still so many other options I wanted to try! read more

Serendipity catered for my wedding. The food was amazing but unfortunately our experience with the owner or whomever (Bill) was not so good. I got a lot of feedback from different guests and family members who had an issue with his attitude. This was extremely embarrassing and disappointing. I can understand the stress that comes along with any business but to be rude to my guests on my wedding day? Unacceptable. read more

I would hire them for a catering gig in a heartbeat. So easy to work with and the quality of the food cannot be beat.

At a local gathering of food trucks this morning, I split an order from Serendipity Mobile Catering with a friend. She ordered the "NorthEast" which is two crab cake minis with roma tomato, red onion, romaine lettuce, and topped with a roasted red pepper aioli on toasted gonella buns. The sandwich should have been called a "slider" because there was enough aioli to cause the ingredients to slide to the side while being carried to our seats. All kidding aside, the flavors worked really well together. The crab cake was moist, though I have had some elsewhere that the crab was more prominent in flavor. Still, because the flavors balanced so well, I found the sandwich quite tasty! Review #85 read more

I CANNOT gush enough about the wonderful folks at serendipity. after our first tasting with Bill we knew that this food was the perfect fit for our wedding. however, what we didn't know was that two weeks before the wedding we'd rely heavily on Bill's help to throw together a last minute rehearsal dinner plan for 50 people. The food is great the people are even better! my only complaint is that the appetizers were too good that they were in short supply by the time I got to them! take my advice and order plenty. your guests will want them! read more

I had the special last night while they were in North Harbor which was 2 burger sliders topped with a peach jam/jelly that was made from rendered bacon fat and Jameson along with some goat cheese and then tots on the side which of course I truffled up. I normally HATE goat cheese but it paired so perfectly with the burger I was beyond impressed. Bun was amazing, burger cooked perfectly, topping was insanely tasty, tots were life changingly good. I couldn't be happier with my experience. These guys will rock your damn socks off. Thank you for enlightening me. Also I got a crab cake for my son who is usually a picky eater and he ate the whole frickin thing. Of course I stole a bite too and it was amazing as well. I wish I could give you guys 79 stars instead of just 5. Keep doin ya thang!!!!!!! - Irlbeezy read more

Most street trucks I've ate at have been excellent. Probably mostly because I only eat them at events specifically for them. This is, however, my first time trying an Elk Burger. And it did NOT disappoint! I didn't even need to add anything like ketchup as it was well flavored with crushed tomatoes. Their Truffle Fries were delicious and my wife loved the Crab Cake Mini's! read more

It was my first time eating at Serendipity and I am a believer in their food! Any food truck that has elk burgers, truffle fries, and a cubano on their menu, I am a fan of. I went to Serendipity today, while they were parked out near Riley and IU and it was an amazing experience! Any food truck you see with a line is always a great choice! I ordered the Cubano and it was the right choice. The wait time was impressive. From ordering to having my name called, was between 4 and 5 minutes. I was super impressed by the quality of the sandwich. A thick cut of roasted pork, great gooey cheese, surrounded by ham, mustard and pickles. The rice and beans it was served with was also delicious, with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. A colleague of mine ordered the truffle fries and those were life changing. Crispy, fragrant, and everything you want in a french fry! If you see Serendipity rolling around town, follow the truck and order lots of food and share with friends! read more

This place haunts me. Two years ago, I ate the best Cuban sandwich of my life, coming off the back of a GenCon food truck. For those two years, I could not remember the place where I'd gotten it from. I roamed aimless, mindless, from restaurant to restaurant, hoping to find that crispy, delectable combination of bread, cheese, and pig. That beautiful marriage of pickle and mustard. Hope fled. Despair reigned. I resigned myself to never finding it again. It was here the whole time. Serendipity has the greatest Cuban sandwich of my life. And my yearly trip to GenCon will never be the same again. Go here. Get the Cuban (and the truffle fries!). Find faith in a deity that knows how tasty pork can be. Eat and know how good a sammich can really be. This is not hyperbole. read more

Bill and his amazing team just catered our wedding and we can't say enough good things! When we needed to adapt from the food truck for 80 people to an elevated 5 course meal for 13 people (Due to COVID), Bill was there to create and execute our dream dinner. They were very professional, responsible, and the food was great!! Very grateful to the whole team. read more

As a food truck skeptic, a 5-star review from me is notable. Serendipity Catering has a fantastically unique menu and fresh ingredients served by friendly, cheerful employees. I loved my split order of one elk burger and 1 chicken molé taco with a side of fries rather than the rice and beans. Everything was made fresh to order. The fries were top-notch, with exactly the combination of grease, salt, and caramelization that I like. Of the two entrees, I preferred the elk burger, which had delicious seasonings reminiscent of gyros and a nice peppadew sauce. The molé taco was nice, though less remarkable. It's hard to make an excellent molé, but I hope they keep tweaking that recipe until it's perfect. I highly recommend Serendipity food truck for fresh, innovative cuisine worthy of a critically acclaimed restaurant. Best $12 lunch I've had in a long time! read more

Loved this food truck! The grilled cheese is AmAzInG!! Also love the crab cakes. Highly recommended!

This food truck makes the best truffle fries and elk burger. Hands down, best ever!!!

Wonderful experience for a vegetarian. I had the Black Bean Sliders with the Truffle Fries that was superb. Texture of the black bean patties were the perfect mix of creamy and chunky. Loved the Parmesan and spices on the truffle fries. Serendipity fest was the first time I was introduced to the truck and the whole menu was vegetarian/vegan. Personal favorite of food truck Friday's. read more

I ordered the elk burgers, but was given the the crab cakes. There was less than 1 tablespoon total of crab in total of two cakes. the tiniest little flakes I had to hunt for to even find. They were pretty tasteless as well. It was like a crabish flavored corn break sandwich. The truffle fries were decent, but $12 for not getting what I ordered and quite literally almost no crab in the crab cakes was not worth it. Don't bother. read more

The truffle fry's, I have to get them every time. I love the bison burger and crab patties. It really is good food.

First time having food truck fare by the Statehouse. The crab cake minis are delicious. The red pepper aioli was the perfect compliment to the crab, I scrapped the raw onion off though. The hand cut fries were a little disappointing (we ordered them without the truffle oil) they were tepid when we got them. I think they might prepare large batches at a time and they sit under a warmer too long. I would definitely try the truck again though. Again, LOVED the Crab Cakes! read more

We had a horrible experience we at there at gen con and paid $11 for a Cuban that had a small piece of ham and a bite of pork. It might as well have been mustard cheese n pickle sandwich. It was supposed to have avocado on the side they never told us that there was not. Not very happy with this to pay that much and get nothing was ridiculous. We will never dine there again. read more

I LOVE the truffle fries! TOTALLY worth the $1 to "truffle up" your fries! The Crab Cake sliders are delish - just wish they were a little more crunchy. And even though I wish they had a little more crisp to them, they're still my 'go-to' dish when I order! The value is pretty great too. You get a lot of food for the $$ and I'm always happy to see them out and about!!! read more

best elk sliders and truffle fries in Indy, hands down! You cant go wrong with any of the options but the Cubano is a star

Had the Northwest elk slider, it was superb! The meat was a firm grind, very easy to chew, and they even cooked it to the temperature I requested! The pepper sauce was almost the consistency of ketchup, very very nice. Fries were noticeably hand cut, very good potato flavor. A little greasy, but they are french fries. Service was great, very friendly. They gave me 4 ketchup packets and I didn't need to request them. Napkins were also provided. I have very high standards when it comes to food trucks. Consider them met. read more
