Other Restaurants in Indiana

Beyond the spotlight favorites, Guy Fieri’s Triple D tour through Indiana uncovered a handful of hidden gems that captured the spirit of Hoosier hospitality. Between 2011 and 2014, the show featured four additional restaurants across the state, with Indianapolis leading the pack alongside stops in Mooresville and Carmel.

Among these discoveries, The Barking Dog in Indianapolis stood out as the top-rated spot with a solid 4-star rating, serving up memorable dishes that earned Guy’s signature enthusiasm. Jersey Café in Carmel also made its mark, bringing East Coast flair to the Midwest with a respectable 3.6-star rating from diners.

While the passage of time has been challenging for these establishments—with three of the four now closed—their appearance on the show remains a testament to Indiana’s diverse culinary landscape. The restaurants featured during this era averaged 3.8 stars, reflecting the quality comfort food and creative cooking that caught Guy’s attention as he cruised through the Crossroads of America.
