Wow, this place has some amazing food. Everything was fantastic, and we had one of the best waiters I've had in a long time. Prices were pretty reasonable too.
That said, if you're going with someone, splitting a meal isn't a bad idea! Portions are huge 😂

Fire by the monon tenderloin review: Lets start with the price. It cost about $16 before tax. Kind of expensive for a tenderloin..... until you see the size and taste it. On the scale of average tenderloin prices in Indiana it gets a 7.5/10. But trust me it should cost way more for how good it is. Let's talk about the size It is absolutely giant. One of the biggest I've ever seen. 9.5 on the size scale. I was able to finish it, the fires and the pickle as well as a bit of an appetizer and 2 beers in one sitting. However. I will say I absolutely hated myself doing it. Thats how big this thing is. I wanted to run through the bathroom, but it was just so good!!! They need to have a food challenge for finishing this thing. Now let's talk about the flavor. It is so good. I have had slightly better pork. But I've never had a tenderloin that tastes as good as this one. This is not the standard. This is the Gordon Ramsey of tenderloin. This is the bobby flag of tenderloin. This tenderloin is so good, it slips into another genre of goodness. It is the Billy Joel of tenderloin. It should be celebrated by all. I have only had it twice. If I lived closer. I'd have it every day and go bankrupt from it. I would way 350 pounds and still find a way to hobble my sss out to get it. The crispness of the tenderloin is a solid 7.5/10. Which in my opinion is the perfect. Amount that it should be. 1 being undercooked 10 being nothing but crisp. It is perfect. The only reason I can't give this a 10/10 is because I think it can go farther. I think it can be ever so slightly better. But seriously. This tenderloin gets a 9.7 total out of 10. Damn. Near. Perfect. And might be as close as we ever get to it.

I had heard such good things…got the pulled pork tacos and rice. Unfortunately it was practically inedible! The pork was dry and burned to the point it scratched my throat when eating it. The side of rice was bland and uneventful. Luckily my friend got the veggie flatbread and that was phenomenal.

What a phenomenal Sunday afternoon stop! Our waitress was so nice, which made the visit even better. The food was amazing, and you must try the fried green tomatoes—they were awesome! If I could give it more than five stars, I would. We will definitely be back for more great food and hospitality!

I stopped in with my teen on a Wednesday evening. This place has a pub vibe so I wasnt sure if it was 21 and over, but we saw a couple of other families with kids and lots of tables with adults.
I had the mushroom Swiss burger (burger of the day) and sweet potato fries and she had the Cobb Salad. My burger was good, fries were a little underdone for me, but still tasty. Cobb salad was generous and daughter enjoyed it.
Our server was prompt, helpful (he recommended the burger and sweet potato fries), and nice. Our food arrived quickly and the server was around and easily accessible when we needed something - a pet peeve of ours is when you need something, but can't get anyone's attention so this added to our experience.
It was our first time visiting this restaurant and the food was good. Too many times it seems we eat out just to be disappointed in the taste or quality of the food, so this was a pleasant surprise for us. We'll stop in again when we're in the area.

The onion rings are quite possibly the best in the world. Easily the best I’ve ever eaten.
The Greuben sandwich is insanely good. The service was great. I highly recommend this restaurant.
