A great small town cafe with the best tenderloin in Iowa and it was fantastic.

Nice place! Pleasent small town local experience! I was skeptical about the claims that they have the best pork tenderloin sandwich in Iowa.. So, I drove an hour to check it out! And I have to admit, it's pretty damn good! I can see how it's the Best of Iowa this year! Totally recommend! You will not be disappointed! Prices are so reasonable! The wedges are also A-1!

Had to take our order to go as the other patrons seemingly needing to take up 2 tables meant to seat 8 for just 3 guys made the seating limited. Food was delicious, exceeded expectations.

IOWA Pork's best tenderloin!!!
Dairy Sweet is in Harrison County in the Boyer River Valley on the Lincoln highway which is arguably one of the nicest drives in the state.
A Cafe style restaurant that looks like it could serve a tasty pancake and egg. Well, their multi-award winning tenderloin is no pancake!
This hot from the fryer 8-9oz loin must start an over inch thick! Tenderized to the point it is bigger than a bun, yet thick enough to stay juicy. The secret is in the breading they say.. It is 3D breading. Light and thin, yet the clumps of breading give it texture and taste. A hearty appetite is required....I'm glad I only snacked for lunch. Curly fries would be an appropriate side, but I went non-midwest with a side salad.
Here is what makes Dairy Sweet taste all the better....the price! $10.65 gets you a sandwich, side, and drink!
Highly recommend. Great service. Clean restaurant. Fantastic food.

Their pork tenderloin just won the 2024 Best in Iowa and it is for a reason. This thing is huge and has a good breading and crunch to it. Also, it's a low cost option for food. Less than $10 on something I barely finished. You don't find that much anymore. I didn't try their ice cream but it looked like they even had homemade cookie ice cream sandwiches!

The waitress was so nice and fun. You get an incredible amount of food for the low cost of everything on the menu. The place is kind of a hole in the wall. If you didn't know it was there, you'd miss it, but it is a true gem. Excellent people and food. Will definitely stop by on my way through again.
