If you’re rolling through Indy and your stomach starts grumbling for something real—something homemade, full of flavor, and straight from the heart—you’ve got to pull up to Kountry Kitchen Soul Food Place, located at 1831 N College Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46202. This place isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a local legend. A soul food sanctuary. A spot where every plate is made with love and every visit feels like coming home—even if you’ve never been there before. Known for dishing out Southern classics that hit you right in the feels, Kountry Kitchen has built a reputation that stretches far beyond the city limits. 

Celebs like Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and the late Maya Angelou have all made a pit stop here, and once you take that first bite, it’s easy to see why. Their fried chicken is hands-down one of the best in Indiana—golden, crispy, and seasoned to perfection. The smothered pork chops? Tender, juicy, and soaking in gravy so good you’ll want to drink it with a straw. And don’t even get me started on the catfish, which is fried up old-school style and served with sides that’ll take you straight back to your grandma’s kitchen—think collard greens, mac and cheese, candied yams, cornbread, and more. Each dish feels like a warm hug for your soul, and honestly, isn’t that what good food is all about?

But Kountry Kitchen is more than just what’s on the plate—it’s about people. The place is buzzing with energy from the minute you walk through the door. The staff treats you like family, the regulars are always down for a chat, and there’s this community vibe that makes you wanna stay a little longer, order a slice of sweet potato pie, and soak it all in. Even after a fire temporarily shut down the original location in 2020, the love for this spot never stopped flowing—and now they’re back and better than ever in their new home, serving up the same soul-warming eats that built their legacy.

The restaurant sits in the Kennedy King neighborhood, which is rich in history and close to downtown Indy hotspots like Mass Ave, Bottleworks District, and Indiana State Museum. So whether you’re exploring the city or just craving a meal that feels like Sunday dinner, Kountry Kitchen is a must-stop on your Indy itinerary. Plus, it’s just a quick ride from other popular attractions like the Indianapolis Zoo, Lucas Oil Stadium, and the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, so you can make it a full day of eating and adventuring.
