A pork tenderloin sandwich of course.


    Looks like I'm out of luck for a delivery.

    If I can only get a loin delight from one of these two restaurants should I select Sahm's at Keystone or Edward's?

    I had my Sahm's tenderloin last year and found it...meh. There are so many better right in Indianapolis. Not bad, but not one to look forward to or anything special. Edwards I have not had and comments about it have been across the board. Since Edwards got on the food network shows it now has some cachet if that is worth anything.

    If you can get to Sahm's and that is a reason you are considering it then I would recommend Daddy Jack's in that area. Much better, IMO.

    I've never had a bad loin at Sahm's. I don't understand the lack of love for it.
    It's not the best in town, but it's good by any standard.
    Have a very blessed day!

    Correct that they are plenty good enough, just not "special" There are usually better ones to be had in the same vicinity.

    Since the 20th of April when I flew up from Florida I've had 4 tenderloins. 2 from Dawson's, 1 from Grindstone Charlie's (Rockville Rd.) and 1 Thursday Night from the Flag Room. It's made me come to the conclusion that I'm better off ordering something else if I'm not at Dawson's on Main.

    I know how good Dawson's is, maybe you need to read the question again.

    I have not been to Sahm's at Keystone but I have been to Sahm's at the corner of 116th & Allisonville in Fishers and their Tenderloins are delicious. I rate them in my top 3: Dawson's, Green Street, Sahm's.

    Sahm's has several locations so it's probably not a guarantee that they will all be fantastic at each location.

    I've been to Edwards. They have great onion rings and root beer but frankly, they pound the hell out of their tenderloins and the meat is so paper thin that they're just not worth it to me.

    I was with friends the other day near 86th and Keystone and we drove down Keystone past Sahm's to get to Kessler to make our way to 16th street on our way to Dawson's. You always have a choice.

    You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be misquoted and used against you.

    Great little place. Both fries and onion rings are pretty good. If you can't decide which, they will give you half-n-half!

    We like to sit in the bar area. We live maybe 5 minutes from there.

    Ruben's first Breaded Tenderloin is going to be from the Mug N Bun.

    You ordered it the same way I do with Coleslaw as my side. Even when I tag team and split the Tenderloin and order the rings I still feel stuffed when I'm ready to leave. When I eat half the loin and get the Coleslaw I walk out feeling perfectly satisfied minus the Stuffed feeling.

    You should have let us know earlier I would have shown up to tag-team one with you.

    Nick's Kitchen was closed when we got there due to a power outage. Fortunately, the owner, JeanAnne Bailey knew we were coming and let us in. Also, fortunately, the gas deep fryer runs without electricity and with the aid of us shining our iPhone flashlights to see we were able to fry up a couple BPTs along with still cold XXX Rootbeer and some homemade butterscotch pie. So, if you were one of the unfortunates dropping by for lunch peering in the windows and seeing an old gristled white hair guy sitting in the dark and wondering, it was me having this...

    The day before we arrived at the Village Grille in Naplate, Illinois just as it was closing at 2 PM. Luck was with us again. The cook agreed to stick around and fry up a tenderloin for us. Knowing in advance they were monster size we asked for two buns for the one sandwich so we could split it. It was thick, juicey and delicious.
