Indiana has no shortage of great restaurants that have been open for years. These restaurants have become staples in that area, and people must go whenever they are in town. Certain places stand out among the rest, whether it be comfort food, burgers, fried chicken, seafood, Italian, Mexican, steakhouses, or any other type of restaurant. There's something special about a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. These are places with charm and food that you won't find at any chain.

Some of the best food in America can be found where you least expect it. Sure, there are a lot of great chain restaurants that we all enjoy going to. But the really good stuff can be found tucked away behind unassuming storefronts, based in the middle of nowhere, or frequented only by lucky locals. Out of all of the possibilities, it can be somewhat difficult to decide where you want to go to eat, especially while traveling. Well, if you ever find yourself in the area, you might want to try the hole-in-the-wall restaurant in the Hoosier State.

Indiana Gem Named Among America's Best Hole-in-the-Wall Restaurants

Recently, the foodie website, LoveFood, found the best hole-in-the-wall restaurants in the country. As it turns out, one Indiana gem is among the best. The Indiana restaurant on this list has a pretty unique history. It was actually built in New Jersey, and it was shipped to Indiana on a train in 1954. Located in Plainfield, Indiana, Oasis Diner not only has some pretty cool memorabilia from back in the day, but they also serve up some great food. Hence why it was named among the best hole-in-the-wall restaurants in the United States.

Here's what LoveFood had to say about Oaisis Diner:

It’s always lunchtime at Oasis Diner – or at least it feels that way. Shelves inside this cute spot display a range of vintage lunchboxes, featuring everyone from E.T. to Mickey Mouse. It’s like stepping back in time in the best possible way, with the building itself shipped from New Jersey in 1954. The menu is an equally appealing list of comforting, carb-loaded dishes, with the patty melt one of the favorites.

On top of that, Oasis Diner makes its own sodas, which is just one of the things that sets this cute and colorful spot apart from the competition. Throw in wonderfully comforting and classic diner food and a TV playing old sitcoms, and it’s pretty much guaranteed to be a great dining experience
