    They have the best tenderloin in the state, hands down. The fries are amazing too. Everyone I know says the same thing about this place. It's a gem and worth the roadtrip. Seating is somewhat limited but they are exapnding. They are also known for their pizza and burgers although I've heard everything is great. I have had the tenderloin twice now and it's consistently perfect.

    Regular size tenderloin

    Classic little hole in the wall in the smallest of small towns. When I'm back in Indiana I like getting breaded tenderloins and the Grill A's is fantastic. They have the usual large ones but I went for the regular size and it was still huge. Loved the breading and seasoning for the pork. I put it right up there with the best tenderloin I've had. Very good fries as well to complement their menu of sandwiches. Small bar and about 5 or 6 tables inside so be prepared to not have much room but that's what makes it great. Always packed which tells you they have something special.

    We visited right at 11:00 AM on the dot because we knew we had a party of 15 and they informed us they only had seating for 22. We truly took nearly every seat in the place and they accommodated us so well. If you come with a large group, there is not seating for large groups. People will be seated at a few tables for four and most will be sitting at the bar. We were totally fine with us as this was a birthday party and we were all walking about socializing. This is an extremely popular place. Not only where we lined up at the door at 11 AM, other people were as well and people had to be turned away. There was some outside seating which added about another six seats for people who wanted to sit outside. The food was excellent! Several people tried the tenderloin, which is what they are known for and each person loved it. You can get different types of cheese and a variety of toppings, and everyone got a tenderloin catered to their liking. The hand cut fries were absolutely my favorite. We got a 14 inch Pizza and everyone shared it and tried it and agreed the pizza was as epic as the tenderloin. This is family, friendly, no alcohol. Definitely worth the trip to Markleville. It's also worth mentioning that there is a public parking area to the south east for plenty of ample parking. In addition, there's a nice little park with a gazebo where we were all able to go sit and visit afterwards and free up seating for the restaurant.

    It was a beautiful day, so the wife and I took a drive to Markleville where grill a grills was known to have the best breaded tenderloin in the state. There was about a 10 to 15 minute wait which outdoor seating was readily available. The waitresses were very friendly and nice. We even talk to the owner. This place was very clean but small it had a pretty big bar which we ended up setting at and about four or five tables. We ordered the breaded tenderloin and decided to split it. It was huge and thick and juicy with just the right amount of crunch to it. We cut it in half and realized we had to cut the halves in half and that made for the perfect sandwich when we have Some time and feel like a drive. We will definitely go back. My wife said we've eaten a lot of good tenderloins, but this has be the best, I have to agree.

    Tenderloin sandwich and fresh French fries!

    Great food! Best pork tenderloin! Great service! Highly recommend! Inside is pretty small.

    Large tenderloin + fries

    Took a road trip over to try out this spot, and it definitely did not disappoint. Substantial tenderloin and deliciously fresh fries!

    This is the regular tenderloin, it is at least an inch thick.  Probably enough food for two people.

    I love this place. I have been here two times and the food and the service is absolutely top notch. The dining area is small but they are opening the upstairs for dining soon.

    Large breaded Pork Tenderloin and it melted in my mouth!!! So very tender and absolutely delicious!!

    The food here is outstanding and the service is perfect!!! We enjoyed our dinner so very much!!! While we live in Dayton, OH, we will absolutely make the trip to return to this fabulous place again and again!!!

    A bar and two tables.

    I have only eaten here once, but the Tenderloin was great. If I ever have occasion to be in Markleville again I will definitely stop here.

At $9-10 each why not! Blueberry Lemon Drop was good, but the Watermelon was my favorite. We also tried the caramel apple and it was good too. For dinner I got the pork tenderloin sandwich with onion rings. Both were delicious and the server said all were made in house. What I loved about the onion rings was the super thick and crunchy beer batter. We also got some sort or chicken bowl that was a lot of food. Came with chips. That's not my particular thing but the person who ordered it loved it. They make all their own dressings and believe me when I tell you the spicy ranch is spicy. I loaded my onion ring up with that ranch and I thought I was going to pass out it was so hot. I still ate it just not as much at one of time. They have plenty of seating at the bar or tables inside and a few outside tables by the street where we saw people take advantage of the nice weather and brought their dogs. They have a small stage where they have live performances, I think someone was coming last night we were just there too early. They have pull tabs for those who are gamblers. The place was really clean and staff were friendly yet busy. Parking can be tricky so be prepared to walk some during peak times.

We weren't going to get an appetizer but the bone marrow fries looked so good in pictures that we had to try them. They did not disappoint. Very large serving and extremely flavorful. Easily an appetizer for 4 or more people (there was only 2 of us so we brought some home). My dining partner is not normally a fries person and she loved these. For entree, my dining partner had today's special which was a shredded chicken sandwich that had a jalapeño cheese sauce and the house chips. She said it was very good and again half the sandwich came home. I had their breaded tenderloin which was very good, with nice breading to meat ratio and was a bit larger than the bun. It came with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. It came ala carte with no sides. Service was excellent, exceptionally friendly and really took care of us. One of the best waiters I've come across. Inside is a bar/pub like feel. We opted to eat in the air condition enclosed "patio" type area which had a bit more light, but was also noisy today due to the tin lined walls/ceiling and another group that was quite loud. Made it a bit hard to converse. Normally don't think this would be an issue. While not tons of items on the menu, the selection was quite varied and you could really splurge on a filet or other such dish and really go all in for a more lavish dinner or have a burger or tenderloin, all at any time of day. Parking was right in front of the restaurant but could see it being a bit tight on a busy day.

    I go here every chance I get, and usually forget to take photos of the delicious food!…read more I am so glad i took the advice of the earlier reviews to entice me to try it out the first time (now years ago). This place has been a hit with my "21+" family due to the great food, great location, and usually good service. Minors are not allowed. Our most recent visit yesterday had less than awesome service but maybe she was having a bad day. The building is old with lots of wood paneling ... very comfy. There are several other wonderful restaurants in Fortville which is great for me as I have several choices. I never would have guessed that this tiny suburb would have such epic cuisine!

But every customer I saw here was treated like family! Most importantly - I had the best pork tenderloin sandwich I've ever had in my life. Having moved from Indiana to Michigan 22 years ago - I can't find a decent one and have resorted to making my own. Although I'm doing a decent job - this is a "next-level" sandwich. My party also ordered a burger, some country fried steak, a breakfast combo - everything was fantastic. My kids, myself, and my wife keep mentioning this meal even a couple months later. I rarely say this - but to me, Iron Kettle is a destination dining location - worth driving half an hour out of your way just to give it a try. The service was fantastic, the atmosphere "casual diner" but comfortable, and the food exceeded my expectations by far. I am already planning a visit back to the area. Not just to see family, but also to see my new friends at Iron Kettle again and sample more of their menu!
