One hidden gem is the best restaurant in the entire state of Indiana, and I bet you'll never guess what it is.

Indiana has no shortage of great restaurants that have been open for years. These restaurants have become staples in that area where people must go whenever they are in town. They are restaurants that can even become bucket-list places to dine at. Whether it be comfort food, burgers, fried chicken, seafood, Italian, Mexican, steakhouses, or any other type of restaurant, there are certain places that stand out among the rest. I'm not talking about popular chain restaurants that you can find anywhere in the country. These places are local gems and hotspots that can only be found when visiting a specific part of Indiana. Out of all of the possibilities, and there are a lot of them, it can be somewhat difficult to decide where you want to go to eat. Perhaps it's wise to just dine at the best restaurant in the whole state.

The Best Restaurant in All of Indiana

According to a list created by the website Foodie Haven, if you want to find the best restaurant in the Hoosier State, you'll want to make a trip to Oldenburg. That's where you will find Wagner's Village Inn. Not only has the restaurant won a James Beard Award for their fried chicken, but apparently it is the best restaurant all around in Indiana.

Here's what Foodie Haven had to say about Indiana's best restaurant:

Wagner’s Village Inn has been serving hearty German fare since 1968. Here, the schnitzels come crisp, the sausages are perfectly spiced, and the atmosphere hums with old-world charm. Dining here feels like a step back in time, where every meal connects you to Indiana’s German roots.

Have you ever dined at Wagner's Village Inn? If so, do you think it's worthy of being named the best restaurant in Indiana?
