Best Hole-in-the-Wall Restaurant in Indiana

Some of the best food can be found in little hole-in-the-wall restaurants, and one Indiana eatery is among the best in the entire country.

Indiana has no shortage of great restaurants that have been open for years. These restaurants have become staples in that area, and people must go whenever they are in town. They are restaurants that can even become bucket-list places to dine at. Certain places stand out among the rest, whether it be comfort food, burgers, fried chicken, seafood, Italian, Mexican, steakhouses, or any other type of restaurant. Out of all of the possibilities, it can be somewhat difficult to decide where you want to go to eat. Well, if you ever find yourself in the area, you might want to try the hole-in-the-wall restaurant in the Hoosier State.

Some of the best food in America can be found where you least expect it. Sure, there are a lot of great chain restaurants that we all enjoy going to.

Recently, the folks over at Mashed discovered the best hole-in-the-wall restaurants in the country. One for each state, to be exact.

KEEP READING: 40 Real Indiana Towns with Quirky, Weird, and Funny Names

Outside the major cities, the Hoosier state is full of tiny little towns you've probably passed through on your way to one of those cities. Most of them are likely 100 to 150 years old, or older, and have been around far longer than the large metropolitan areas such as Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, South Bend, and Evansville. Typically, they were started by early settlers who found their way to the state and decided to make it home. Eventually, others would join them, and a community was formed. Over time, as the surrounding areas grew, most of them were folded into those areas and governed by the nearest city or county's governing body officially making them "unincorporated," meaning they did not have their own formally organized municipal government.

A scroll through Wikipedia's long list of unincorporated communities in Indiana shows several of them have names that by today's standards would be considered weird, quirky, or just downright right funny. These are my 40 favorities.
