    Dirty sink.  Gross.

    I was in Fortville this afternoon, and I decided to stop by the Broadway Diner for a late lunch. I'd been there for breakfast several years ago, and I remembered the food as being decent. With all the construction on Broadway, it was a little difficult getting into the parking lot, but manageable. It was 3pm on a Monday and only a couple of other customers were in the restaurant. I sat at the counter and was greeted right away by a friendly server. I considered breakfast, but decided on a Swiss Mushroom Burger with French Fries and Ice water. Total price with tax $12.27. The best part of my meal was the toasted bun, melted swiss cheese, and mushrooms. The burger was dry and lacked taste. The fries were okay, but undercooked. I wished that I had ordered something else. Maybe Boasted Chicken. To be fair, I'll give the meal 3 stars. Service was very good. 5 Stars. My biggest disappointment was the cleanliness of the place. Because I sat at the counter, I had a good view of the kitchen and food preparation area. The kitchen is somewhat "okay", but definitely needs a serious deep cleaning. The men's room was horrendous. It's hard to believe that the owners of Broadway Diner tolerate the condition of this rest room - Dark, hot, and filthy. 0 or negative Stars. There is a local feel at the Broadway Diner, and the staff is friendly, fast, and efficient. This place is just another "hole in the wall". A place where local friends/retired people can "hang out" drink coffee and tell stories.

    Nice little diner. Small town and local flavor. It was seat yourself and the waitress was right there with a menu and drink order. I had the 3 piece broasted chicken with mashed potatoes for about $14. I came out in about minutes and was nice and hot! It was good but could have used a few more spices but overall a good meal. I should ah e order the 2 piece as I couldn't finish the 3 pieces. I would recommend to anyone I. The area to stop in and enjoy a nice small town lunch.

    Two scrambled eggs, 3 sausage links, and 2 dry wheat toast.

    I was greeted by a friendly waitress who told me to sit wherever I liked. I ordered the Down Home Favorites 2 scrambled eggs with sausage links and dry wheat toast. I use jelly on my toast. Everything was served hot. Sometimes the eggs or sausage links come lukewarm because they precook them. Everything was prepared to order. Everything tasted delicious. Dana was the waitress and her service was excellent. She let me know I can pay at the table. Dana brought over a handheld device which made the check out process quick and easy. This is a tasty local diner.

    I dug in to the fries before I had time to snap a picture of my breaded tenderloin from the Broadway Diner in Fortville.

    The Broadway Diner doesn't look like much from the outside but who cares about the exterior when what you want is inside! You can find diners in most small towns. They are gems that create feuds on which small town has the best diner and the Broadway Diner falls in to that category. It is my favorite place for breakfast, hands down. I am a breakfast guy. I love everything there is about breakfast. The eggs, the bacon, the biscuits & gravy... I can't get enough. I am not here to talk about Broadway Diner's amazing breakfast though. I am here to shout to the masses and hold aloft one of the dishes that makes Indiana well, Indiana. I am, of course, talking about the breaded tenderloin. I judge a place on their breaded tenderloin. If I order a breaded tenderloin, and a perfectly shaped puck the same size as the bun, I can tell you a few things. First, the owner is probably not a native Hoosier. Second, they probably buy their breaded tenderloins, mass produced, frozen, and by the case. Thirdly, the cook is dare I say, lazy... gasp. I am happy to say the breaded tenderloins at Broadway Diner are one of those! The pound the pork flat, think , and the size of a plate. They then bread it and deep fry it until golden brown. If you think that is all there is to it, you are sadly wrong. You can get a slice of soy, gooey, melted American cheese on top if you want. Normal fixings are lettuce, tomato, sliced onions, and mayo, though the sky is the limit with toppings. I was on my way home, when the craving hit and luckily Broadway Diner was on my way home. I walked in and sat on a stool at the counter. I ordered my breaded tenderloin with lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayo all on the side... with a side of fries. I didn't know it, but they had been hit with a couple of big to go orders and the kitchen was making beaded tenderloins as fast as they could. I sat at the counter, sipping on my soda, while I waited for my ordered to be ready. Once it was ready, I paid and made my way home. That first bite... mmmm... hot, juicy, salty, and satisfying. I sat on the couch eating my sandwich, dipping my fries in ketchup, and drinking my Pepsi. Life was good. Broadway Diner is among the best of the diners I have been to. I love their breaded tenderloins, and you need to stop and enjoy one too. Oh, and their breakfast is awesome too!

    Their food, for the most part, is pretty good. The biggest drawback is that most of their food is deep fried!

    Stopped in for lunch. Downtown Fortville. It never looks like there is a lot of parking…read moredowntown, but I've always been able to find a spot fairly close to my destination. I love the small town feel!! The restaurant vibe reflects the town. Everyone is very welcoming. I didn't catch bartenders name, but she was very friendly to everyone at her bar. She told us her favorites on the menu. I appreciated her knowledge about the restaurant and the menu. The bar area seemed a little dark, but that actually enhanced the experience of an old bar. We only sat in the bar area, I believe there is additional seating in another room, but I didn't look. I opted for a grilled tenderloin and a cup of beer cheddar jalapeño cheese soup. The sandwich's are Ala carte. The sandwich was bigger than I expected, that would have been enough for lunch. The trick with grilled tenderloin is that many times it is over cooked, so it is dry. This was cooked to perfection; cooked but still moist. The sandwich, with the "garden" was awesome. Now to the soup. I think she said they use wee Mac as the beer. The jalapeño was puréed. There was crispy bacon crumbled on top; I did not care for the bacon. The soup was odd to me as I was eating it. Because of the texture, it reminded me of corn chowder. There was a little spice/flavor from the jalapeño. What was odd to me, was it didn't wow me like I thought it would, but I kept eating it. So in the end, I think I really liked it bc I ate all of it!!! The menu is not large, but has a good variety for its size. The desserts were impressive, I just didn't have room for it. I could easily become a regular there!!

    Our server Ben was absolutely amazing. He was the most personable, funny and kind server we have…read moreever had! We recommend asking for him! The atmosphere was perfect for a date night or a quick dive bar aspect with your friends The Bone Marrow fries were fire along side some great entrees! We'll be back very soon

    Returned to one of my favorite Italian restaurants. Fortville is worth the drive. The crab cakes…read morefor an appetizer were really delicious, and could easily have been an entree for me. But I'm so glad I was hungry and ordered the lasagna. It's a decent amount of food and I think it was the best Lasagna I've ever had. Seriously. Melted in my mouth and the texture and flavor was amazing. All the pasta and sauces are made in house and I could taste the difference. Delicious. My SO had been thinking about their linguine and clams and was not disappointed. There were fewer clams than the last time (granted it's been a long while now) so it's best for a lite appetite. Service was good and the owner stopped by as well ... from Italy and these are home recipes. Looks like they recently installed new carpet which was nice. Love all the framed pictures especially in the back room. This restaurant is perfect for a special occasion, or an intimate dinner, or for just when you want some authentic great Italian food.

The first course was fried calamari & shrimp that was well seasoned and crispy. The Della Casa Salad was a simple mixed salad with a vinaigrette dressing. For the main course I had the Short Rib Ravioli that was topped with sauce, tomatoes and asparagus. To our surprise, Italian bread and dipping sauce came at an extra cost , but worth it. Our server, Renata was very hospitable. The meal was so filling, we passed on dessert, but plan to do an encore to include dessert. Cortona's Italian Cuisine & Wine Bar will not disappoint!
