Smitty's Tenderloin Shop

I was visiting from Mississippi and learned that tenderloin was a big deal in this area.I was on a mission to find the best and I really believe I found it.Love the old diner vibe and the friendly staff at this place.I will definitely come back every time I visit family in the area.That King tenderloin sandwich is definitely hitting!!!

Malts are delicious but everything else was super bland and honestly they need to stop being afraid of using salt.

Caring service by grandma and the crew could not cover up the reality that the food was underwhelming.
Tenderloin ($6.95 regular size, with chili cheese) was previously frozen into the fryer basket. It was bland and dry. Onion ring ($3.95) was crispy but also bland. Food also took a while to prepare despite not very busy with quite a few staff.

For me, I judged the amount of pork in the sandwich. There was a 1/3 ratio. Hardly any meat. They were frozen. Not sure what the hype is about. 🤷🏼‍♀️ You may very well love it! Give it a try?

Just had lunch at Smitty's Tenderloin Shop having driven from Lincoln Nebraska. Great breaded tenderloin sandwich and onion rings, can't wait to visit again. Mindy and the fry cook were both great, the atmosphere is a throwback to the 50s and prices are very reasonable. Thank You 👍

Great for a quick meal, but small. I felt cramped while there and too much open light made it feel more like an outdoor place than indoor.

Excellent food and service!!!! They're always excellent!!!!

Great food and great service!

Excellent, friendly and great food

Allergic reaction because, even after asking SPECIFICALLY about allergens, they told us they cooked meat and fried in completely different friers. So, an allergic reaction happened. Unsafe, and hazardous conditions.

Dietary restrictions: No vegetarian options because everything has cross contamination. Like, nothing. No one wore gloves, so even something like soda or a shake isn't safe

Dirty (walls, vent by our table, table, floor was sticky) hot, undercooked food, and the waitress could not be bothered!
