The person I went with and I both got the tenderloin lunch special. It was 9.99 for a grilled or fried tenderloin (no bun) and two sides. We both ordered the fried tenderloin. I can confidently say this was the very best tenderloin I have ever eaten. Seriously, EVER. Having lived in Indiana close to fifty years, I have had my share of tenderloins from mom and pop establishments, so that is a great compliment. If a piece of pork pounded thin to the size of a hubcap is your idea of a good tenderloin, this is NOT the one. If you want a well-seasoned piece of pork tenderloin breaded in a flour and cornmeal coating and then fried to absolute perfection, here you will find it. Super-friendly down-to-earth staff was the icing on the cake here.

We have been wanting to try it since they opened and finally stopped in for dinner. We ordered breakfast, French toast had no cinnamon was just Texas toast with a tub of butter on them. The scramble eggs are not scrambled at all, just mixed up cooked on each side so it was 1 solid piece. Hashbrowns were ok but cheese was burnt on each side. The cups were all chipped and broke on the edges and really faded like they bought them used. Staff not very professional but nice. The menu was way to big. With that many options there is no doubt most food is frozen. I would not recommend at all.​

Extensive menu, great food. Only issue was, the waitress didn't hear me say burger and I ended up with a breakfast sandwich, but it was still good.

Overall, it was ok. The staff were friendly, the restaurant was clean, and they have a huge menu with lots of options to choose from. There seemed to be a few groups of regular customers when we were there. It was a healthy mix of older people and UIndy students when we were there. My mom and brother enjoyed their food, but I thought my food was just ok. The veggie omelet was like 75% onions. I do like onions but it was too much for me. And it was an unfair advantage since I had just had a veggie omelet the day before at another restaurant that was a bunch of super fresh veggies. My favorite thing was actually the butter on the pancake...it was whipped with vanilla or cream cheese or something. It tasted more like cheesecake than butter. But it sure tasted good on a pancake.

This place has good food, But they need to make the prices match the menu. They are always trying to charge more at the register. That pisses me off!!!!
