IndyFoodspotters: Kountry Kitchen
So, it was a great weekend all around. Tried out a great Indy hidden gem, along with MOKBPresents First Friday Food truck Festival with our IndyFoodspotters and the DoItIndy guys and had a sushi-splosion down in Greenwood thanks to my special guy. One side of putt-putt and one side of Harry Potter made Labor Day weekend a great success.
The kid loved the Food Truck Fest. Rosie and her friend Gabe did some great photography for me, since I was almost incapacitated by the sheer hotness of the scene. 100 degree + heat and black top not a good combo.

Saturday, I was headed to Subway to get an eggwhite and spinach flatbreads for me and the BF, when I saw Kountry Kitchen on the horizon. The thought of “healthy” went out the window to usher in “good for you soul.
I’m a spontaneous sort, so when I saw the sign, I hung a louie into the parking lot, crossing my fingers they were open.
Immediately upon walking in the door I was home. And by home I mean Mississippi, or the South. This place was it. There was a hustle and bustle, and the smells were OMG heaven. This was a Soul Kitchen. I felt right about it all.
A young waitress swung by with two huge dinner plates. One was loaded with greens and fried pork chops, the other I didn’t catch the vegetables, but I did happen to eye the most amazing looking fried chicken I’ve seen in Indy – well, besides MY fried chicken. ;)
I ordered. And got some basics, with full intention on returning to this soul-tastic eatery.
Biscuits and gravy, black eyed-peas, greens and boiled cabbage with a side of cornbread. See it on Foodspotting.
If you know me, then you know that this made my heart sing, finding this treasure here in Naptown.
PRO-Tip: Try getting there early on Saturday or Sunday. Although it appears non-descript and completely unassuming from the outside, the place is PACKED come lunch, especially on Sunday, after church lets out.
IndyFoodspotter gives Kountry Kitchen 5 thumbs up.
