“What’s to say? This is THE pork tenderloin. The ORIGINAL Hoosier hand breaded recipe from the early 1900s. It all started here. Off the bun and huge. There’s other great stuff and sides on the menu. I usually have the onion rings. There are also some great looking choices on the breakfast menu. I’ve never eaten there for breakfast. Takes 2 plus hours for us to get there and they are also on eastern time. So it’s gotta be the sandwich every time. And then there are the pies are just phenomenally delicious if you have the room for it afterwards. Get a slice to go!! It’s all reasonably priced. Can be very busy at times. Not a fan of the hours closing at 2pm EDT I think I remember them being open later. Take the trip to Nicks.“

“Prime Rib is Excellent!!!“

“Excellent diner food. Will be back.“

“All I can say is….ten out of freaking ten“

“It’s definitely a dive bar… The best kind of dive bar. The kind where you walk in and you feel like home and everybody knows your name. And if they don’t know you, they will by the end of the night. The food is excellent and now that they’re offering lunch and delivery… It’s Already a staple in Huntington, but now they’re offering their goods countywide.“

“We had a great birthday dinner experience at this restaurant. They, unfortunately, do not take reservations. But our server, Dora, did a great job accommodating our large party. Food and service was fantastic. Loved the new bourbon menu items.“

“I ate lunch here today, food was good. Men’s restroom was terrible, urine all around urinal floor! The whole bathroom floor was disgusting! Didn’t look like it had seen a mop in a week! Might have to leave my shoes outside tonight ! C’mon you can do better than this! Totally unacceptable!!!“

“3/26/26

I usually go to the Lima Road location in Fort Wayne, but since I was getting off work in Huntington, this spot was much closer—and one of the few places open that late. I arrived right at 2:00 AM and was the only customer there. Within about a minute, a cook seated me, and my waitress greeted me shortly after.

I ordered my usual Pepsi, which came out immediately, and then placed my order. I tend to stick with the same thing at IHOP—the breakfast sampler—but this time I swapped the eggs and pancakes for extra hashbrowns and added a side of smoked sausage links and pork sausage patties.

The hashbrowns were a bit overcooked for my taste, but that’s more of a personal preference and something I could’ve mentioned when ordering. Aside from that, everything else was excellent and really tasty. My food arrived by 2:15 AM, so the service was quick and efficient.

My waitress was friendly, checked on me multiple times, and even offered me a drink to go. The restaurant itself was clean, well-maintained, and fully stocked.

Overall, I’d give this location a 9/10 and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for good, affordable food with fast service.“

“Food & service was good. I asked for more secluded table & being they weren't busy they didn't mind accommodating me at all which was nice. I hate being dead center of the room. The food was very good though I do wish there more meat based, low carb options. But the quality & presentation was good.“
