Stars Sandwich Market serves weekday lunch in Indianapolis’s Mile Square, with the Philly steak drawing repeated praise from diners. Start with that sandwich; ribs with mac and cheese also earn an enthusiastic mention.

Stars Sandwich Market keeps a focused downtown schedule: three hours at lunchtime, Monday through Friday. Sandwiches anchor this Mile Square shop, and the Philly steak is the clearest draw in diners’ accounts, earning praise across multiple reports.

The praise extends beyond sandwiches to ribs with mac and cheese. Diners also mention fresh food and a variety of sandwiches and drinks, though their accounts of service diverge: some describe friendly, fast attention, while others report lengthy waits or incorrect orders. A tightly timed lunch break deserves that distinction.

Stars Sandwich Market is at 115 W Market St., Indianapolis. Hours are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday; it is closed on weekends. Takeout and delivery are offered, and reservations are not accepted.
