"Open for: Breakfast, lunch, and dinnerPrice range: $$Iconic soul food diner Kountry Kitchen opened in 1988 and became known for its star-studded clientele, including Hoosier native and musician Babyface Edmonds, comedian Mike Epps, and then-Senator Barack Obama. When the restaurant burned down in 2020, fans worried it was lost to the history books, but the restaurant team rebuilt in the same footprint. Gone are the uneven wooden floors and windowless dining room, replaced by a glistening full bar and an event space for 500 people. But the menu includes the same great dishes, such as fried green tomatoes, rib tips, neck bones, and roast beef Manhattan (a sandwich of roasted chuck, mashed potatoes, and gravy).Best for: Multi-generational family meals." - Brian Garrido
