Kountry Kitchen Soul Food Place, simply known as Kountry Kitchen, situated in the heart of Indianapolis, is a soul food eatery that has been dishing out scrumptious, grandma-styled cooking since 1988. With a menu featuring an array of Southern-style dishes, Kountry Kitchen has become a staple in the community for both locals and visitors alike.
The fried chicken is a staple dish that has garnered the restaurant accolades and enthralling reviews. The chicken is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and seasoned to perfection.
It is not just the fried chicken that captures the hearts of patrons. Other classic Southern comfort foods such as mac and cheese, collard greens and sweet potato pie have won the hearts (and stomachs) of many.
The restaurant’s inviting and cozy ambiance is a reflection of its owners, Isaac and Cynthia Wilson. They have been running the establishment since its inception and can often be seen chatting with guests to ensure they feel right at home. The pair’s passion for cooking and serving the community has not gone unnoticed: They have been publicly recognized for their contributions and commitment to the Indianapolis area.
Kountry Kitchen’s commitment to quality and community is evident in all aspects of the restaurant. They source their ingredients from local farmers and vendors, guaranteeing that their food is fresh and supports Indiana’s economy.
Additionally, they prioritize customer satisfaction by providing a friendly and immersive service that keeps guests coming back for that good ol’ cooking.
