After I come back from my world travels, I know there is a sure thing waiting for me in the Indy airport. Fresh sliced pastrami and rye thrills me. Sometimes, for whatever reason, the sandwiches I get here are better than the sandwiches at the downtown location. I also tend to enjoy the Carmel location more than downtown. Hmm, curious. They also serve a bit of local beer which airports in general need to do! Enjoy, hungry traveller. Get your deli fix on.
Review Source:Fantastic Corned Beef Sandwich! Amazingly, the service seems to have improved. It only took five minutes to order and then pay for my food. That's not bad when all is prepped upon ordering. They even wrapped the two halves separately as there is NO WAY I can eat a whole one in one meal thus making the price excellent when you consider what you get. The Devil's Cheesecake is so light and fluffy, it makes me believe I can eat it all in one serving...my tummy doesn't agree; I can hardly stand up.
Review Source:$10-12 dollar sandwiches that could be had elsewhere in the airport for $6-7. Even at airport prices this place is outside the norm for value. Nothing redeeming about the food to justify the price. Skip it and go to Wolfgang puck and get a chicken tender entree for just about the same price. Â I don't know where the other reviewers are getting these big sandwiches they're talking about, I've been here three times and the sandwiches consisted of a slice of cheese, slice of meat, one piece of lettuce and a smear of whatever condiment you request. Â Those heaping sandwiches in the photos are NOT what you get.
Review Source:It's not easy to get good airport food, but Shapiro's is a great option at IND. Â The original downtown location is a local favorite, and the airport branch is fantastic as well. Â Giant sandwiches - from pastrami to roast beef so rare it can almost moo. Â They slice it right in front of you and it's as fresh as it can be. Â
It's not cheap, but neither is a McDonald's in the airport. . . t's worth it.
I discovered Shapiro's while researching the Indy airport on the day before a business trip. I was fortunate that my flight deplaned in Concourse B, so before going to baggage claim, I made a quick side trip to Shapiro's and I'm glad I did. The pastrami on rye was the real deal -- on par with the east coast, where I'm from, and easily better than anything I've had in the Twin Cities, where I live now. (I've never seen a slicer in an airport restaurant before, that's for sure.) The two young woman working the concession were a bit on the surly side, but I can let that go when the food is this good. They just seemed a little bored. I'm already looking forward to eating there Tues. before the trip home (and mulling how to travel with a sandwich on the plane for pastrami-loving younger daughter).
Agree with Jonny S. that it's (a bit) overpriced.
Airport food is usually poor quality and overpriced. Â And Shapiro's is...well still overpriced, but so tasty I didn't mind. Â Got a pastrami on rye piled so high I couldn't even finish the chips that came with it. Â The meat was tender and flavorful, and the rye was tasty, but not so strong as to overpower the sandwich. Â Definitly need to check out their home store.
Review Source:I've ate here twice before early morning flights. Both times, service wasn't the greatest- employees didn't seem too happy in general. Maybe it was too early for them to be nice.
Bagels are good, but if you are there early in the morning and haven't had your coffee yet, make sure you remember that Shapiro's is a kosher deli. So that means the "bacon" on the bacon egg and cheese bagels is actually turkey bacon... which can come as quite an unwelcome surprise if you don't know (or if it is too early for you to realize you are at a Kosher deli). I wish the menu board made note that it is turkey bacon for those weary early morning travelers. :( I usually like turkey bacon, but I didn't find theirs to be very good at all... I guess maybe kosher turkey bacon tastes different from other turkey bacon? Next time I go, I will just order a plain bagel with cream cheese. Nice to have good bagels at the airport, but just make sure you know what you are ordering!
