Ever feel like your favorite chain restaurants open new locations everywhere but Indianapolis? We asked readers what chains they hope will join the Circle City dining scene. You’re welcome, restaurant executives.
In-N-Out Burger | Nearest location: Rockwall, TX (~877 miles)
Numerous readers wrote in sharing their love for this West Coast-based burger joint. For now, those craving a Double-Double prepared Animal Style are in for a hefty road trip — or a nonstop flight to Dallas.
Whataburger | Nearest location: Hermitage, TN (~287 miles)
Burgers are on the brain, because this fast food chain was also a top request; to quote reader Lisa M., “please!!!”
Old Chicago Pizza + Taproom | Nearest location: Lexington, KY (~175 miles)
Our readers still crave this chain’s deep-dish style pies. The last Indiana location closed earlier this year.
While specific restaurants varied, other cuisines readers hope to see in Naptown included Mexican, barbecue, and salad-forward spots.
Bonus: These restaurants may not be opening in Indianapolis, but we know which ones are.
