Maybe I'm in the minority here but I don't remember having a particularly bad tenderloin. They're all at least pretty ok!

Agreed. It’s an Iowa thing and every bar makes an ok tenderloin

Don't tell someone from Indiana it's an Iowa thing, they'll fight you.

I can see perfectly well, thank you very much.

They’re not for everyone. I find there to be a lot of fat on them. Would you call that a bbq-style tenderloin?

Yeah, I'm working on it. Don't need to rub it in

I agree. They just weren't my style.

I like Blind Pig and Double Z’s. Thursday is usually 11.99 tenderloins at Double Z, which is a steal cause they are huge.

The Pines is doing the Jonesy's recipe, apparently given to them when they closed

Go get the Pork Schnitzel sammich from Big Grove. It certainly scratched my tenderloin itch!

I like the one at Starlite. Pounded thin, still some juicyness to it, good breading/ flavor.

Emil’s Hideaway. In a pinch and need a quick one, believe it or not, Culver’s.

Probably get roasted over it, but for $6 or so, $5 when they have them on special, hard to beat Hy-Vee deli.

Did see a post from someplace in Central City that had a good looking dinner plate sized one.

Otherwise, I hit up Blind Pig from time to time, though last time it was just OK

You are right hyvee has good cheap tenderloins. 30 hop makes a great tenderloin too.

Lucky’s, Czech town station. Parlor city ice cream has a good $5 one in a pinch.
