Breaded tenderloin. Very good.
Brandie W.

Food was delicious. Great stop on the way to the camper for lunch. Tenderloins are hand breaded and so are the chicken fingers. Band playing on the weekends. We will definitely be back. Laid back atmosphere.

Mecca Tavern - Plate size perfectly fried tenderloin sandwich!

We drove out here to get a tenderloin sandwich, and we were not disappointed…read more The sandwich was big enough for two meals for two people. And just because it was huge, doesn't mean it was lacking anything else. It has great flavor and even after having to drive back to our trailer to eat, it held its crunch. (More about that later). The price also could not be beat. The only down side is that even though they have an outside patio, it is not accessible other than through the bar. As such we had to take the sandwich with us as we had our dog, and it was not allowed in the outside area - again because it went though the tavern, which I understand as they do serve food.

The best pork tenderloin in Hoosier Indiana!…read more This place has a lot of character. It has been here since 1899. There is a covered bridge down the street. This tavern is run down but it has character. The food they're known for are the pork tenderloin and the pretzel. The pork tenderloin is massive! Three of us shared one. It was cooked to perfection. The batter had a perfect crunch. The meat was moist. The pretzel was huge! It had plenty of salt ànd butter. It was so good. Ita huge too! They offer cheese and honey mustard dipping sauces for it. Definitely tasty. I highly recommend this place of you're looking for a pork tenderloin! Beer was good and fairly cheap. I definitely would return! Don't expect fast service. It's a mom and pop running the place.

This is a very subjective five stars. Here's why:…read more 1. It's the only bar in Orleans. 2. They have Not You Father's Root Beer 3. The NYFRB and a PBR was $5.25. Like, total. Not each. 4. It's the ultimate dive. It's filled with all the dive bar regalia: Miller Lite mirror, Coors neon sign, Bud Light neon sign, Busch Light neon sign, pool table. They've got one TV. It's set to NASCAR. Smoking allowed inside, a true relic. When you only have 1 option, it's truly your best bet.

This place is the true definition of hole in the wall dive bar, in the best way possible. Depot…read moreTavern is in the middle of nowhere Indiana but it was hopping on Friday night. There was a live band (the reason we sought out this place) and they charge a $5/pp cover charge. Their menu is basic bar food - mozzarella sticks, burgers, poppers, fries, etc. (no wings). The burgers looked REALLY good and everyone was ordering them but we weren't hungry enough to get one. We arrived around 7:15PM and stayed until last call. We each had 4-5 beers in that time (since we had to drive out of there on back country roads) and we split an order of mozzarella sticks and our total bill was only $30! Amazing! Note: they do allow smoking, almost everyone in there was smoking, and the ventilation system didn't do much to help the air flow. At one point my eyes were burning pretty bad - but it's a dive bar and I was not expecting it to be non-smoking. It's a cool little joint and I'm glad we went!
