Top Places for Tenderloins in Hendricks County, Indiana
Published on
Ah, the pork tenderloin sandwich. It's a staple of cuisine around the Hoosier State as well as here in Hendricks County, Indiana.
We are fortunate to have several restaurants around the county that serve up a mean tenderloin, including three that are on the Indiana Foodways Tenderloin Lovers Trail!
Let's check them out in alphabetical order.
1. Brew Link Brewing
In Plainfield, Brew Link Brewing is best known for their handcrafted beers in a wide variety of flavors, including many that you may not normally associate with beer. If you like beer, you definitely need to check out their selections.
Regardless of what you drink there, you need to order one of their tenderloins because they are delicious, and they're on the state's Tenderloin Lovers Trail!
2. The Coachman Restaurant & Lounge
Hendricks County's oldest independently owned and operated restaurant is a favorite place for tenderloin enthusiasts to find an excellent sandwich.
Located right off I-70 in Plainfield, The Coachman is consistently rated highly by locals and visitors alike for their hand-breaded tenderloin sandwiches and delicious cuisine across the board.
3. Frost Bite
When you think of a place called Frost Bite, you're probably thinking of ice cream, right?
As it turns out, though, Frost Bite in Avon makes a popular tenderloin sandwich in addition to their frozen treats. Enjoy your sandwich in their outdoor seating or take it to your favorite spot to devour.
4. Green Street Pub & Eatery
In Brownsburg, Green Street Pub & Eatery knows how to do a tenderloin right. They make their sandwiches with monster-sized tenderloins that nearly cover the plate on their own, making the bun look almost comically ridiculous.
Green Street is also a good place for Happy Hour deals.
5. Mason Inn
The Mason Inn in Pittsboro is one of Hendricks County's hidden gems. In addition to being a full bar, the Mason Inn has outstanding food, and tenderloins are one of the many dishes they knock straight out of the park.
The Mason Inn's tenderloin is one of my personal favorites here in Hendricks County.
6. Mayberry Cafe
Similar to Brew Link Brewing, Mayberry Cafe in Danville is well-known for something other than the sandwiches that tenderloin lovers are hunting for on the trail. However, they are on the Indiana Foodways Tenderloin Lovers Trail!
Visitors are generally attracted to the Mayberry Cafe for the quaint Andy Griffith Show theme and ambience, the home cooking and the friendly service, but the restaurant's tenderloin is worth the trip, too. Mayberry also has some outdoor seating that is popular on nice days.
7. Oasis Diner
Oasis Diner in Plainfield is frequently ranked as having the best tenderloin in Hendricks County and one of the best in the state, so it comes as no surprise to see them on the Indiana Foodways Tenderloin Lovers Trail.
The restored and relocated 1954 Mountain View Diner is rich with history and ambience, and they're known for doing a lot of things quite well, including tenderloins and hand-crafted sodas. Outdoor seating is available at the Oasis, and leashed dogs are welcome in the outdoor dining area.
8. Stacks Pancake House & Grill
A tenderloin at a pancake house?! YES! Stacks Pancake House & Grill makes a delicious tenderloin sandwich!
I'm a regular at the Stacks in Clayton -- for Hendricks County locals, it's in the building where the Clayton Cafe was for years -- but they also have a location in Plainfield.
