As advertised good simple food nice area to walk around great service would definitely go back or recommend sitting outside high quality fresh and inside is fun because it's small and quaint you have to walk across the street or a bathroom that's fine. The area here is great because there's lots of ethnic restaurants which definitely go back great food.

First time and I was impressed! I've been meaning to try it and finally was able to get around to it. We came on a Sunday and it was pretty busy, but we didn't wait long at all to order. I was shocked by how cheap the meal was, and how quickly it was prepared! The burger was so good! The staff was welcoming and I'd definitely recommend!

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!

I tried out the new location in the City Market and I was not disappointed. I tried the tenderloin sandwich. It wasn't a giant one like you normally see. It was a good size but no leftovers. You can get multiple tenderloins or even burgers so you can make it as big as you'd like. The sandwich itself was good. Crispy but not heavily breaded and greasy. I also got a large fries that two of use shared. Again the portion size was perfect for two but there is a regular size too. The fries were hand cut, salty, and perfectly crisp. The staff was friendly and helpful. They unfortunately did not have their liquor license so no margaritas but that just gives me an excuse to return.

Decent little burger spot. They have some interesting items on the menu, but nothing I would really go after. The service was pretty quick, made to order. The table was sticky so that was a slight issue. Overall, not a bad place to grab a quick bite.

This place has been on my list to try for a long time. I found a coupon, so that was a good excuse to grab lunch there. The speed of service was great. I went after the lunch rush so there weren't a ton of people in there, but I got my food so fast. I was in and out of there in under 30 minutes. I ordered the tenderloin with everything except horseradish. It was very good, and I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu. It all sounded really good.

Hidden on the west side of Kansas City is a known favorite amongst locals who enjoy cuisine done differently. Here you can get a tenderloin sandwich with all the Fixin's, or you can get a pig snout sandwich which I'm told that Kansas City police trainees get when they sign up.The foods on point and I would say that they have pretty good service as well. I was attended to kindly and was glad to receive that level of service. They keep everything nice and neat and clean which is a nice feature.

Yesterday was my first visit to Tenderloin Grill since Minsky's Pizza purchased them last year; and nothing has changed. After all why should it change? With 91 years in business serving the midwest staple of tenderloins and the infamous pig snout sandwich, why rock the boat.TG is an old school diner with bar stools and tables, hand drawn menu boards and the grill and fryer clearly visible to the customers. If you are eating a pig snout then food handling transparency is a must!I ordered the Tenderger - a tenderloin and hamburger mash-up for $9.75 and house fries for $4.00. TG's tenderloin is not KC's best nor biggest, but is solid. The secret recipe hot sauce and dollop of horseradish adds to the allure and the reason that they have been so successful for almost a century. With the added burger patty and normal toppings gives the Tendergur a unique and satisfying sandwich option for the faithful and adventurous.Negatives: House fries - the sliced potatoes are just fat potato chips that just stick together and don't cook evenly. Order the crinkle cut or tots. Pig Snout - it's one thing to see it listed on the menu, but actually seeing it in person or having a family sit at the table next to your while loudly describing it while taking turns taking bites on a dare is very nauseating. You have been warned - enter at your own risk or consider calling ahead and doing carry out if you are the least bit squeamish.

Fries could've been cooked longer. Burgers weren't great. Only thing good were the shots & margaritas
