The Spillway is a charming restaurant and bar located in the small historic town of Harpers Ferry, Iowa, nestled along the Mississippi River. This unassuming establishment has earned a reputation for serving some of the best pork tenderloin sandwiches in the state, with customers raving about their tender, flavorful, and perfectly crispy breaded version.
The Spillway's atmosphere is described as "magnificent," with a dimly lit tavern vibe that exudes a sense of rural authenticity, complete with over 25 trophy buck deer head mounts adorning the walls. While the dining room is more functional than fancy, it provides a comfortable setting to enjoy the renowned tenderloin sandwiches, as well as a selection of burgers and a highly acclaimed thin-crust pizza.
Customers praise the Spillway's friendly and attentive staff, including a waitress who provided excellent service and a bartender who was quick and courteous even during a busy Hawkeye football Saturday. The overall value of the Spillway is also highlighted, with affordable $1.50 PBR long necks and generous portions that leave diners satisfied.
Whether you're in the mood for a classic breaded tenderloin or a grilled version with your preferred toppings, the Spillway delivers a truly exceptional dining experience that has earned it a place among the top pork tenderloin destinations in Iowa. This unassuming gem is a must-visit for anyone exploring the charming small-town offerings of Northeast Iowa.
