Most Iconic Diner in Indiana

The Most Iconic Diner in Every State

The best diners in the U.S.

We all have a favorite local restaurant—the place that’s seen us through late nights, early mornings and emergency pancakes. Plus, we can’t forget about our 15 cups of coffee in a row. From 24-hour breakfast to cozy retro booths, a good diner isn’t just an integral part of your community. The best diner is also the place where life happens.

So if you’re looking for the best diner, specifically the best diner in your state, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re in Alabama or Wyoming, we’ve rounded up the top choices in the country, where you’re sure to find that state’s signature dish. Sure, fancy coffee shops have their place, but so do greasy spoons—and these will hit the spot. We compiled this list after thorough research, including customer ratings, Tripadvisor scores and local gossip. Our goal: to find the perfect spot to satisfy your hunger cravings, day or night.

Metro Diner - most iconic diner in Indiana
… Make one of the Metro Diner’s two Indianapolis locations—both are in the top 100 restaurants in Indy on Tripadvisor—your culinary pit stop. They serve hearty comfort food that boasts “huge” serving sizes. For breakfast, try their trio of home fries, eggs and generously sized biscuits smothered in gravy. But the indulgence doesn’t stop there. One reviewer raved about their dinner pick: a savory spectacle of fried chicken with waffles that was perfectly paired with mashed red-skin potatoes. Delicious!
