Things to do in Gary

1. Broadway BBQ

4301 Broadway, Gary, IN 46409-2121 Fast Food, Barbecue +1 219-887-5131

Reviewed By BillBixby219

I have been coming to Broadway BBQ for as long as I can remember, since it was located north of 80/94. When it relocated 10-15 years ago, I was worried that the flavor may change, however that worry was quickly eliminated and to this day they still serve the same delicious food. One quick, and important note - this place is CASH ONLY. That really isn't an issue as there is a Chase Bank ATM just a couple blocks north, so grabbing cash shouldn't be a problem if you arent already carrying. But please do the Owners and the customers a favor and make sure to have cash on hand when ordering. Although I have tried most of the menu, my go to order is the tips and links combo with sauce on everything. The sauce is more of a mild/open pit type flavor but goes very well with their meat and fries. The tips are always delicious and meaty and the links are the best I have found in the Region. Of course a piece of white bread comes to soak it all up.This place blows what I consider to be their main competitor, King Gyros, out of the water. If you are going for any BBQ, please drive a couple miles further north and treat yourself to far superior BBQ than King offers.

We are a seasonal business near West Beach that operates from spring to early fall every year. We specialize in Chicago Style hot dogs, and proudly serve Vienna Beef. We have outdoor seating only for customers to be able to enjoy the beautiful NW Indiana

If you like trains, simple eating and nothing fancy, Depot Dogs is the ticket. It's bare minimum, maybe even primal, but "all aboard" for an enjoyable experience. The dogs and fries are good with quaint outdoor deck seating for eating. Check your calendar because it's a seasonal stop.
