I've been in the service industry for almost 20 years. And the two things I care about the MOST when I go out to eat, is the SERVICE, and the QUALITY of the food. (Prettiness is key too, but sometimes good food can come outa anywhere) Yesterday was my first time visiting Kountry kitchen. (I have a huge family and they've been here multiple times, but I had no idea what to expect.) I can confidently say though, my expectations were absolutely BLOWN away when I realized what jewel this restaurant is. Firstly, it is GORGEOUS! They have a lil bar, the paintings and pictures are so unique. I enjoyed the ambiance very much. The service was also awesome, the people were so pleasurable, and I really appreciated it. Loved Tanisha very much, and our server (I can't recall her name) was great too. Awesome people. But the food... The food... guys... it was INCREDIBLE!!! The food was so good, that I would've served that hot honey chicken to Jesus if he came by my house to say hi. When I started breaking apart the chicken, the freshness and juiciness of the meat, steamed and dripped down my fingers... when I dipped the chicken into the hot honey and tried it, my eyes watered. The seasonings in all of the sides were PERFECT. (I only needed hot sauce and vinegar for my greens.) I could NOT stop eating that chicken. The owner came by to ask us if we were enjoying the food, and when I found out who she was, I IMMEDIATELY shook her hand and let her know, this food was made with REAL LOVE! You could legit TASTE the love in the food, like a seasoning. I was HAPPY and full after my meal at Kountry Kitchen, and I just wanted to get in here to tell y'all about it too. 10/10 recommend. read more

I believe this place has a new location at the corner of 19th and College. Someone said their other location had a fire and they moved. This location is right on the street corner and visible from the street. There is only street parking from what I could tell and we lucked into a spot. When you walk up to the door there is a sign that tells you not to park on 19th street or you will get towed. We were one of 2 tables and it took a very long time for the server to come to us. I was worried that was going to be the tone of this lunch. Slow. I was pleasantly surprised that once our order was taken our food came out very fast. I'm torn between star ratings because the Mac and cheese was some of the best I've ever had but I really like my food hot. I got the smothered pork chop with mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese. The meal also came with corn bread. The pork and the potatoes were room temperature. The gravy was the only thing that kept the pork warm. Both the pork and potatoes had good flavor. The cornbread was dry but we asked for honey and they brought us a delightful honey butter that made up for the dryness. My friend got the fried chicken and it was piping hot. He chose the yams and green beans. He said the yams were good and the beans were okay in flavor but they were mushy. The water tasted horrible and there was a black speck floating at the bottom of my glass. I noticed I was the only one in the place who had water. Perhaps a sign? We went at 11:30 am and by the time we were done, the place was filling up. We didn't need the yelp reservation I had made but if you go at peak lunch time, I would suggest a reservation. I would definitely give this place a second try since my friends food was hot but it's not a cheap lunch. Fried chicken meal with a coke and tip was 29.00. I had the kids meal and it was 16.00 with tip. No left overs to take home. read more

We were so excited to revisit Kountry Kitchen in their new location. We live walking distance from Kountry Kitchen and the only reason I don't go there more often is that I have zero self control when you throw me into a room filled with fried okra, chicken and mac and cheese ;) The new space is quite different from the original but it's impossible to recreate the original. They now have a liquor license, small bar and the building also houses an event space. I was surprised by how small the actual dining room is knowing how busy they tend to be. Our visit kicked off a little slow - we had to flag someone for a high chair and to request menus after we had been seated for more than 15 minutes. Once our server kicked off with us, everything was smooth from there. The food was amazing - I cannot rave about the fried okra and baked chicken enough. The meat was so tender and juicy. The okra was perfectly breaded (not too much and cornmeal forward). I sampled my pals meatloaf and it was also delicious. The cornbread makes for a perfect dessert Overall, a tasty and notable meal. Here's hoping the service gets some of the kink out. Can't wait for future visits! read more

We sat down and waited 30 min for a cup of coffee, with 0 refill offers, then proceeded to wait an hour and half for food that was undercooked. Our breakfast sausage smelled spoiled and we ended up getting sick from this breakfast. The ambiance felt very uncomfortable, due to the attitude of the service, needless to say, do not recommend. read more

Kountry Kitchen - French toast w/ sausage & eggs taste good...Kudos to the owner & chef - Soul Food Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Outstanding food owned and staffed by wonderful people. We went in the Monday after the race and found out originally they weren't even going to be open but decided to do a limited menu for the day. I didn't get to try what I really wanted on the menu, but I'm definitely going back because what we had that day was so good, lightly fried donuts with apple butter, catfish, sandwich, hot honey, chicken, mac & cheese, that was out of this world, french fries, and their homemade chocolate cake... Everything was delicious, including their unique take on an old-fashioned. I'm definitely looking forward to going back for the meatloaf and for a Manhattan someday. We got to talk to the owner for a little bit and she was such a sweetheart. I'm very much looking forward to going back and highly recommend it. read more

Yesterday, Saturday, June 28th, I ordered a delivery from Kountry Kitchen website. The delivery service is out sourced. It was supposed to be delivered by 3:25 but I never received it. I was in contact with the driver and he said they do not have my order. I received a message that the order was delivered but I did not receive it. I was texting the driver and he stopped communicating. I called the restaurant and they said it was out of their hands because they used a 3rd party. I asked if they can provide me information and they would not. I got a hold of door dash and they said the restaurant is responsible since they collected the money. This was a $45 order with a tip. This was not my first or second bad experience with Kountry Kitchen. The restaurant would not assist me or just redelivered. . I will never order from them again or eat at their restaurant. read more

Kountry Kitchen - Catfish, Mashed Potatoes, Delicious collard Greens - Soul Food Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

The food was hot and fresh. The service was okay. I had a to-go order. The food was seasoned and flavorful. I'm vegetarian and could tell that they used fish or chicken seasoning for my fired green tomatoes. I was sick afterwards due to cross-contamination. It also tasted like the tomatoes were cooked in the same grease. I know every restaurant doesn't cater to vegan and vegetarians, but it would be nice if they had a separate batch of oil for people like me. While I was waiting for my food. A group left because one of the people had a fish allergy, and the restaurant couldn't accommodate having a separate batch of oil. read more

The workers act so dry and act like they don't know what they're doing, overall food was great service was ass.

Different location but the same great food! Kountry Kitchen is still the "Mecca" of soul food in Indy. They've relocated temporarily to a Location off Mass Ave. that's only doing take out. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted by the staff behind the counter. I only ordered side items: mixed greens, sweet potatoes with a side of their corn bread. The greens were tender and well seasoned. The sweet potatoes were a cross between dessert and a side item. The corn bread was baked and just average. Everything was reasonably priced. I'm looking forward to a sit down meal when they're permanent location is complete. read more

I'll give the bad things first and then give you the goods. I was very disappointed in the Ambiance. It is so hard when an established place like the original Kountry Kitchen burns down. You'll never be able to replace that feel. That said the new construction is very sterile. The high ceilings while nice, just make the place look cavernous and I'm not sure that helps. I also think the lighting felt like fluorescent lites, very bright and a bit too white. A warmer color lights would be a nice change and a bit "dimmer" would also help. I wanted to check out more of the old photos of visitors and they were small and placed so high, impossible to see. Pull that history down a bit so people can appreciate it. The service for my table of 4 was perfect. Well paced and friendly as heck. They are very personable and lovely warm from greeter to wait staff. Ok the Good stuff, the food. Fried Bread.... OMG so delicious. The macaroni and cheese AMAZING. The greens were good, but just average. I had meatloaf... it was just OK, not as special as I had hoped. Maybe I built it up to much, but not as great as I would like. My partner had good rib tips they were also good but not amazing. Listen the food was good and I really enjoyed it, my table had a fantastic time. read more

The food was excellent, my group enjoyed their wings, catfish, soul rolls, sides and more. Wings were very well seasoned. The only negative feedback I have is that the dine-in service was some of the worst I've had in Indy to date. I gave 3 stars b/c the food was a 5 and the service was 0, so I rounded up a bit to 3 stars because the food was that good. I'll be getting carryout from here on out. The restaurant should hire somebody to come in and do training for their service staff. read more

If you are ever in the Indianapolis area you must stop by Kountry Kitchen Soul Food Place. This restaurant has some delicious food and you will not be disappointed. They also have a bar and some people were having a drink and watching basketball. They have real soul food such as neck bones, oxtails, okra, fried green tomatoes, black eyed peas and more. I highly recommend this restaurant and give them 5 stars. A lot of celebrities dine here when they are in Indianapolis. Our hostess Taria had excellent customer service skills and we were pleased with her service. We will definitely return in the near future. The dressing was my favorite and the baked macaroni was her favorite read more

Kountry Kitchen - Entrance with bar - Soul Food Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Food is good. Customer service is trash. Lazy atmosphere. Food was very good though. Forgot a $17 entree I ordered also.

Today I went Kountry kitchen, I ordered catfish with mac and cheese and cabbage. Everything was terrible. The fish didn't taste like catfish. It was very hard and chewy. The Mac and cheese was dried out and mushy. The cabbage was just ok. I will never eat there again. Soul food places in Indy are just subpar. From now on I'll cook at home instead of wasting my money. read more

Been hearing about this place for years, and was in the mood for some soul food so we ordered on DD. Unfortunately the food was inedible. Worst grool Ive ever tasted. Steer clear of this place. Based on the prices, you would expect decent quality, $20 for 2 small slices of over cooked meatloaf and sides? mac and cheese tasted like cigarettes. Cornbread casserole tasted like an overly salted boxed stuffing with way too much seasoning. Fried green tomatoes were a liquid mess of gease, breading, and mushy tomato. The roast beef, at a whopping $21, was like a rubbery unspiced salt-lick. the cobbler was a bowl of a thick liquid with indistinguishable flavor, a small slice of pie crust floating on top and 2 canned peach slices. The "moist" cake is dryer than your 90 yr old granny's hoo ha... Overall, i would only recommend this place to someone you really dislike. read more

The service was exceptional and they really cater to you once you sit down. But the wait was ridiculous, we waited over an hour for subpar food. The food was too salty and inedible. I got the fried green tomatoes, catfish, shrimp and fries all too salty and too hard. I would definitely not recommend as a visitor to this great city. I gave it 3 stars for the great service but don't go if you are hungry. read more

Fantastic food and service. Wide ranging menu and the owner and staff made you feel like family when you dine there.

It's my 2nd time door dashing from this place!!! Neither experience was disappointing. Love the fish, fried just like I like it!! The fried okra was just as good. Service was great, everything I ordered was there. I can't review the ambiance, used door dash!! read more

I've been hearing lots of negative and positive things about the food so I had to go see for myself. The new place is smaller than I imagined but very beautiful. Service was fast for a busy day. We had a party of eight. Food was brought out hot. I ordered the pork chops & fried catfish. I also ordered garlic mash potatoes & fried corn. I ordered fried green tomatoes & a peach cobbler. Fish was just ok. Too thin of a filet. Pork chop was very thin and tough. Mash potatoes were dry & had no hint of garlic flavor. Fried corn tasted boiled, not fried. The things I loved was the cornbread, peach cobbler and fried green tomatoes. I tasted the fried wings and yams from someone else's order and they were very good. You can't go by what others think of the place. You must go and see for yourself. I'm going back now that I know what I enjoyed and I will order those things. Wish the order for fried green tomatoes were 8 or 10 slices vs four. Four is not enough for the price of them. Final note. Everyone at the table was expressing how high their prices are. I totally agree. My total price was over $50 for just me. Very high! read more

my boyfriend has been trying to get me to come here for months and we finally got a chance to go tonight. When we first arrived we stood at the hostess stand for 10 minutes before we were greeted. Then continued to wait another 20 minutes before being seated. There were several open tables while we were waiting and most of the staff on the floor were moving slowly and carelessly. We sat at our table for 20 full minutes with no service. NOTHING! Not even an offer for a glass of water. They continued to sit two other parties around us as well. The food being served to the other tables looked fabulous so I am sure that is fantastic. But the hospitality and service is awful. We left frustrated and HANGRY read more

Did online order 25 min before arriving, when I arrived order still wasn't prepared , they gave about 12 door dashes before checking on my food still had to wait 20 more min and food set on shelf for at least 5-10 more min by the time I got my food it wasn't enough fresh anymore needless to say I'll pass food looked great online but service was horrible read more

We recently had the repast at Kountry Kitchen's event center side, following my mom's homegoing service. The KK experience reflected 3 of my mom's qualities: classy, delicious cook, and warm attentive service. The fried and baked chicken was flavorful down to the bone- without an oversalted artificial taste. Loved the fried catfish fillets. I highly recommend the fried corn, collards, and cabbage. Everthing was fresh, not oily, and well seasoned without pork and excessive salt. The chandeliers in the ballroom sparkled elegantly. The restaurant side is appealing, and modern. My mom loved the food at the old Kountry Kitchen. I think she smiled down from heaven to see friends and family enjoying great food and atmosphere in her honor. Several local and out of town guests said they look forward to going back. Thank you, Pat! read more
