The Tin Plate

The tenderloin was as big as the plate and very tasty! Couldn't ask for better waitresses either. And the owner even stopped by my table for a chat. Thanks so much for a great dining experience. Take 26 West across 37 to 22nd St. at Friendly's Restaurant (only goes south) and take it to J street, turn left (east) and you are there! Sides are optional and I was lucky just to be able to finish the sandwich! Thanks again!

We have been a few times and we enjoy the little town hole in the wall bar that it is and the food is always good. Just simple bar food, but the pork tenderloin is our favorite.. Service is ok. We like sitting on the bar side as the bartenders seem a bit friendlier and talkative. Will always make the trip a couple times a year.

This place was packed on a Friday before the high school football game. Full of friendly staff and customers. It is a dive bar kind of place but the food is good and what is expected for this kind of establishment. I am pretty sure the entire menu is "beige" fried food. LOL. We had a large table of 12 people and our server had the difficult job of many separate orders. She did great! I wouldn't call this type of food delicious but it will do once in a while or in a pinch. People at our table enjoyed splitting the giant tenderloin sandwiches and I moderately enjoyed my patty melt sandwich. I did think the spiral chip fries were good and reminded me of something you'd get at a fair or festival. All in all, if I lived nearby it would be a friendly place to have a drink and occasional meal.

TL;DR. Great tenderloin; short menu.Made the drive up to Elwood specifically for the tenderloin and was not disappointed. My wife and I split one with a side of onion rings. It's super cool that offer this on the menu with a nominal fee for a second bun and condiments. The tenderloin is very crispy and seasoned well. The service was speedy and attentive, not at all like others have posted. Our waitress even took our order electronically so it hit the kitchen faster.It's a bar atmosphere which was nothing special which we were ok with. No smoking either. The beer was cold and they serve Coke products.

Stopped in after a local referral and was not disappointed! Great prices, full bar and good food. The staff was excellent and accommodating. The tenderloin is clearly the crowd favorite and the menu has options to share which I recommend. We shared and had more than enough to eat. Typical pub menu with lots of Indiana staples like bbq pork. Friendly staff and lots of group seating. Gluten free options minimal but doable. Outdoor seating during warmer months so you can bring your furry friends too.

We stopped in here intentionally and we're absolutely delighted. Came in at 11:30. This place was already busy and remain busy during our entire lunch. Service was perfect; the young ladies that waited on us were moving faster than a freight train, and always with a smile. This is the only thing I can say about it is I wish they had a Non alcoholic beer since I no longer drink that I took under the bun for my husband and hung out was my lunch. ribbon fries and delicious! As expected Ambience was. Bar style however, the food was not bar fare. This wasn't our first trip here and it won't be our last.

This was my first time eating here, and everything was excellent! Our party of 5 all ordered different foods, and we were all sampling each other's choices. We also had an excellent server, I didn't get her name, but she was awesome!

The tenderloin, tenderloin salad, and the garlic Parmesan wings are to die for! Best food in Elwood!

They have a giant tenderloin that is so yummy! The service there is very good, we had three waitresses come by asking if we needed anything. Where do you ever get that kind of service!!Great place to take the family.

I was disappointed this visit. The tenderloin is no longer giant, although it is portrayed as such on the menu and the flavor was very bland. The bun was toasted but they put so much mayonnaise on it that it soon disintegrated. I left 3/4 of it behind and paid almost $12. Also I just noticed that there is a "convenience fee" added if you use a credit or debit card. If you choose, as a restaurant to accept credit or debit cards, then you should choose to accept the charge from that bank. I won't be back.
