We've talked about the least trusted restaurant chain in America, now let's see what a recent study says is the most trusted in the country.

Indiana has a lot 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.

Then you have your go-to fast food restaurants. As you know, there are so many to choose from here in Indiana. Burgers, tacos, pizza, and other sandwiches at these fast food chains in the state are the perfect meal when you're in a rush.

I have to admit that every time I have ordered Pizza Hut, it's always been consistent. Especially when it comes to their breadsticks. Those are by far my favorite breadsticks that any pizza chain has. You can learn more about that and more by clicking here.
