    Breaded pork tenderloin

    Don't have these in Kentucky so I traveled up to get one. Met my cousins there and it took her 3 hrs to get there we agree this is the best tenderloin we've had in a long time. They don't hide the taste of it with a lot of spices. The meat is thick and juicy. Will go back

    Humongous wonderful tenderloin

    What a cute quaint place! A little café of Time gone by. Completely decorated with railroad memorabilia, something to look at everywhere you turn. The waitresses were friendly and informative. They made our whole experience something to remember. Of course we had to have their world famous humongous tenderloin. We split one and added a bun, as you see in the picture. Which of course we cut again in half and had lots of leftovers for two more lunches. The batter was perfect, and the tenderloin itself was not too thin as they sometimes are when they're this big it was very moist and meaty! Perfection really! They seem to have lots of other things on the menu that we also love to try if we were in this area. They also had a very large selection of desserts. My husband loved their persimmon pudding, which most places never serve. Definitely a five star experience and we will always return when in the area!

    This is the largest tenderloin. I've ever ordered.

    We found this place looking for a new place to try on Yelp. Was a little bit of a drive but totally worth it. To say the portions are large is an understatement. This was the largest tenderloin I've ever seen. It was delicious. The service was excellent. They have daily specials, today was meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans also a marinaded pork chop mashed potatoes with cajun gravy. They have house made desserts. We also tried Krack korn dip with tortilla chips. Think gourmet queso was sooooo good.

    Waitress was incredibly friendly. We each ordered something different. My husband enjoyed the tenderloin. I had the fish sandwich and scarfed it down. We also shared the fried pickles, they didn't last long with our pickle loving family. If you are in the area stop here it's cute and railroad theme.

    Main dining area lots of railroad memorabilia

    Had a classic Indiana pork tenderloin with onion rings Very good and huge as normal for this item I get dinner too

    So if you're trying to eat healthy I'd pass. However if you don't mind indulging in crazy portions and fried deliciousness this is the place for you. The place was packed, but service was great. You can tel it's a locals spot. We ordered fried pickles for the table and they were great, they actually tasted like pickles. I got the fried chicken liver special with green beans and potatoes. I think it was around 11.00 and I only ate half, so left overs will be had. My son got the fish sandwich, my mom got the train wreck salad and the two guys got the tenderloin sandwich which was massive and thick. We heard dessert is great here but we were too full.

    My family and I stopped in here while we were in the area to try something new. I got the club sandwich with chips. It was decent but the average of a three stars wife got a fish sandwich. She said it was decent. My mom got a cheeseburger same thing everybody gave their food to two or three stars. It was small place had down home country field, which I did like but overall three stars sounds about right.

    Half a Hoosier tenderloin sandwich with full bun. Other half in the background.

    Split a tenderloin sandwich in two and left with still a half a sandwich! But also had the amazing onion rings and outstanding fried pickles. Everything was fantastic and fresh!! Service was spectacularly nice and welcoming! We will definitely be making this stop again next time we are in the area. The place also has really fun and historical decor. Definitely worth a trip!

    The pork tenderloin was massive! And not some skimpy piece of pork pounded to oblivion. It was a nice big cut of meat and fried perfectly. Staff was friendly and service was good.

    Excellent local restaurant! Stopped in for lunch while exploring the nearby state park for the weekend. It was packed, and for good reason! You could tell most of the patrons were locals and regulars. Expansive menu with reasonable prices and something for everyone, as well as daily specials. Very enticing dessert area up front that everyone seemed to visit (yes, including us!) Great theming and decor throughout the restaurant as well! Bathroom was decorated nicely but hard to keep clean as there is only 1 and lots of people coming in and out. Service was great! It is clear the pork tenderloin sandwich is the thing to get here, so we had to get one... literally took up the whole plate! Easily could make like 3 sandwiches instead of one. We also got chicken tenders and slaw and most importantly STRAWBERRY CAKE! Everything was amazing and I'm getting very hungry just writing about it... definitely stop by if you're in the area! You won't regret it.

The place is very cute, simple, and kind of out on its own which is nice. Parking is plenty. I booked the place so I went before the time I said we'd be there to make sure everything was in order. When I walked in, everything was set up nicely with menus and ice water. There was plenty of space for everyone to socialize. The staff was patient with everyone getting settled and ordering. They also made sure to put everyone's order in at once so it didn't come out of the kitchen sporadically. Food had mixed reviews from our crew. Those who got the salmon, pork chops, steak, and fish seemed to enjoy their food--especially the salmon. Those who got quesadillas, burgers, sandwiches were less than impressed. My quesadilla has a bag clip fall out of it and the pineapple "salsa" was just pineapple and bell peppers so I was disappointed there. People said the burgers tasted like meat on a bun--no seasoning. Those who got soft drinks didn't get refills and we were disappointed to learn that the bar had closed as it was one of the reasons we chose here. The staff did fairly well for the amount of people we had plus the rest of the restaurant. We managed to get in and out in about 2 hours. I am so-so on choosing to eat here again since some loved it and others were not impressed. For the area, it was pretty good. Definitely had its pros and cons.

    Thanks, fellow Yelpers, for sending me to Magic Morning Bakery. The 5 star rating for this little…read morebakery is well deserved. There were many patrons going in and out with bags of donuts when I arrived early morning. I needed a treat to take to an event and, of course, I found out last minute. The shop is pristine and simple. The cases were filled with amazing donuts, cookies and cakes. There was so much to chose from. Those cream pies were incredibly tempting. I opted for a tray of turtle brownies. The brownies were smothered in caramel and nuts. The chocolate brownies was the consistency of a rich fudge. Needless to say, the brownies disappeared fast, so fast that I didn't have a chance to get a photo. The service was quick and friendly and I was off in a flash. Prices are incredibly reasonable. I plan on trying those iconic cookies on my next visit. I highly, recommend.

    I have been generally dissatisfied with donuts in Indiana. These are the best I've found so far,…read morebut they're not perfect. I'll give them credit for being fresh-fried and having a good dough flavor. The apple fritter was particularly good, with nice big chunks of apple. However, I found some of the donuts (especially the glazed) to be too soft, and many donuts had so much sweetness in the dough that it was overwhelming when taken together with the glaze. They definitely deserve their reputation and their regular crowd, but I don't think I'd make a special trip from Bloomington.

Parking is plenty. But this place is busy on Fridays. It is highly revered by the community and they love the all you can eat fish nights on Fridays! Tonight I got an order of onion rings as an appetizer. These came with a choice of zesty sauce or ranch. The batter on the rings was thin but very well seasoned. These baby's were delicious! The server got these right out of the fryer and they were hot. The dipping sauces were a great addition and bother were very tasty and compliments the rings. My entree was a hand breaded tenderloin. Again, the breading was well seasoned and the tenderloin was a good thickness. It came with all the trimmings which were fresh. One thing to note was the lettuce was cold and crisp...this is a huge plus with me. The side dish for the tenderloin were potato slabs. These slabs were like a fried potato thickness but were very lightly breaded. I'd not had anything like these before. I wasn't a real fan of these things but they were different. Just not my thing. I think they have a way to go to get a 5th star from me but it is a very solid 4 stars. I can't wait to go back and try their burger. Over all this place didn't disappoint. It was a great find which I will revisit soon.
