Went today for the first time…we got there and ordered about 130pm or so..I ordered a tenderger and my friend ordered a famous tender with horseradish. While we were waiting for our order they put out a ‘no more burgers’ sign. They lost our order or something because he had me tell him our order again.. the cook in the back said she cooked everything that was ordered. Well obviously she didn’t because we still didn’t have our food. So the cashier told me they could do two tenders on my sandwich since they were out of burgers, fine. I didn’t even say they needed to credit me $1.50 from the price difference. But anyways, shortly after a ‘no chicken’ sign came out as well. So we got our food, my friends sandwich had hot sauce all over it when she asked for horseradish. She can’t do hot sauce. I was able to give her one of my tenderloins. It wasn’t even 2pm.. they don’t close until 5.. why are they running out of two of their main ingredients? What a joke. We won’t be back. Also didn’t get any apology or sympathy from the staff.

The people making the food and the man at the counter was very nice! I had onion rings and a very tasty cheeseburger! It wasn’t even 5 minutes and the cheeseburger was gone! Very good! You can tell that this place puts a lot of joy and passion in their food!Bonus: Saw a very chill pigeon hanging out around the building. Very friendly.

Incredible tenderloin. Highly suggest getting it “classic” style. Unbelievable that this place isn’t packed every second they’re open. It’s pretty inexpensive for the quality of the food. Oh also the best tasting hot sauce in the city!

The tenderloin sandwich was delicious! The fries were not my favorite, a little soggy and need some more salt.

Tenderloin was full of gristle. Take was sticky and dirty. Ordered 2 orders of fries and only got one. Maybe because the waitress was too busy playing on her phone. Won't be back.

Visited here on a Saturday for KC Restaurant Week lunch which happened to be my first time getting a chance to try the food here! We always walk through all of the shops here in River Market but had not gotten a chance to try a tenderloin or anything else here.The two younger gentleman working here were super friendly and did a great job for us. The menu seems to be pretty simple but has a few options you don't typically see - a burger and tenderloin put on the same bun; and pig snoot. We settled for the original tenderloin and fries for both of our meals. It was cooked pretty fast and when it arrived in its paper bag, we could not wait to dive in. The fries are seriously some of the best I have ever had. They are such a perfect balance of tender and crispy! The tenderloin was smaller than you would expect but considering the toppings I picked, I though the sandwich was full of flavor. It is not the best tenderloin I've had, nor the biggest, but I would happily get this again given the chance.Overall, I had high expectations for this place and for the most part, these expectations were met. I can't wait to come back and get more fries and try more of their menu!

Tenderlion does not taste the same. There is a garlic seasoning now on the Tenderlion. It overpowers the taste of the sandwich. No greeting or thanking you, and the bar had dirty trays. And no original fries. Not like the Tenderlion grill, that I grew up with and enjoyed.

This is the real deal tenderloin joint for people who know tenderloins. These aren't those huge hubcap size, no meat, frozen jobs. Single is sufficient for most appetites but I'll probably go double next time. Best fresh cut french fries you'll find. Well done!!!
