There\u2019s something fun about being the first to try a new place. Here are a few spots that recently opened and are worth adding to your must-visit list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazing Joe\u2019s Grill Relocates<\/strong><\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udccd 5193 N Walnut St, Muncie<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A longtime local favorite, Amazing Joe\u2019s has officially relocated in Muncie. Their new home is located at the Delaware County Regional Airport off North Walnut Street. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dig into what our local followers voted the best food in town in 2025 as planes fly overhead. It\u2019s a new setting that makes the experience feel a little more memorable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new space also means more room to spread out, easier parking, and an updated facility while still delivering the same flavors people love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fat Franks<\/strong><\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udccd 3101 S Madison St, Muncie<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve heard the buzz about Fat Franks, it\u2019s for good reason. This locally owned spot opened in January and is already building a loyal following. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First things first: they don\u2019t serve hot dogs, they\u2019re franks. And they come loaded. From a classic Chicago-style option to their signature \u201cFat Frank\u201d piled high with queso and chili, plus Philly steak creations, there\u2019s no shortage of messy (in the best way), crave-worthy choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything is made fresh to order, and one thing locals keep mentioning is that you get a lot of food for the price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just plan ahead, they\u2019re closed Sundays and Mondays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cocoa & Cream Collective<\/strong><\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udccd 9700 W Smith St Suite 3, Yorktown<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cocoa & Cream Collective opened in March and is already turning heads and satisfying sweet tooths in Yorktown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This bakery and caf\u00e9 focuses on handcrafted treats, offering everything from house-made breads and sandwiches to pastries, desserts, and crafted coffee and tea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They offer gluten-free options, like apple cider cinnamon donuts and a vanilla cookies and cream cake that people can\u2019t stop talking about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behind it all is a team of trained pastry chefs, many of them local, bringing big talent to the kitchen. They\u2019re open Thursday through Sunday, and if early reactions are any indication, you might want to get there before the crowd does. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
