    I don't know how I found out about Edinburgh Diner (maybe a food TV show like Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives?), but I've had it bookmarked for years because of their giant pork tenderloin sandwich. On a road trip to Florida from Wisconsin we timed leaving home so we could stop at Edinburgh Diner for lunch. I got the giant pork tenderloin sandwich, my wife got a chicken ranch wrap, one kid got a turkey bacon ranch wrap, and the other kid got a grilled cheese. We also shared mozzarella sticks. Nobody was impressed by their meals, including me with the giant pork tenderloin sandwich. I thought it was really dry and flavorless. Neither the tenderloin itself or the breading were seasoned. To eat it, I found it easiest tearing the tenderloin into four sections and stacking them on the bun. My wife and kid that got the wrap ended up switching because they preferred the wrap the other had. Like the tenderloin, the chicken was dry and both thought there was too much ranch in the wraps. The fries were just as meh. I'm not a ketchup person, but had to use it to give them some flavor.

    Small joint, good menu for what an out of the way Indiana diner restaurant should offer. If you don't care about calories and only care about flavor, stop in and try this place out.

    Pork Tenderloin deluxe with fries
    Sara L.

    Inside a small diner housed in a building that likely used to be a Wendy's, you'll find the Edinburgh Diner. The first thing you notice is a faintly aromatic smell of seasonings. The menu is classic diner fare: burgers, wraps, pork tenderloins, fries, onion rings, and similar items. We ordered three pork tenderloin sandwiches for four people, with plenty left over to take home. The tenderloin was pounded extremely thin, lightly breaded, and seasoned with just salt and pepper. While it could use more seasoning, the deluxe sandwich toppings helped compensate. Overall, it was a one-time experience--worth checking off the bucket list, but not necessarily worth repeating.

    Road tripped for the tenderloin and it did not disappoint! Super thin and the seasoning in the breading was wonderful. Quick service and just a small town greasy spoon vibe with nice people - was great!

    We found the Tyrannosaurus rex of pork tenderloins at the Edinburgh Diner, and it was delicious. The Edinburgh Diner is in a converted fast food restaurant. The diner has been transformed into a homey venue that is sparkling clean. It in a location that you wouldn't find without knowing it's there. The staff is super friendly, accommodating and goes the extra mile to serve their customers. If you order water, they ask if you want lemon in it. The food comes out amazing fast, fresh and hot. They are famous for their pork tenderloin. The sandwich is made from a pound of tenderloin that is lightly battered with a corn meal batter and flavored with pepper and salt. The meat dwarfs the bun and covers the tray that it is served on. You can add tomato, lettuce, onions and pickles for a buck and fries for two more dollars. The sandwich arrives piping hot, the meat is tender and juicy. The sandwich could easily be shared by four people and they are happy to provide additional bun. Most guests share the sandwich. This pork tenderloin is among the top best in Indiana. If you can't finish your sandwich, they are happy to provide to-go containers. Other menu options looked great as well, they offered deals on wraps the day we were there. The catfish sandwiches appear popular. The prices are fantastic with most sandwiches ranging from $7-$10. The restaurant fills early with locals and there are only about 16 tables. They do a robust carry out service as well. We will be back. Still dreaming about the tenderloin.

    Here we are, another review about the Edinburgh Diner with the sole motivating factor being their Pork Tenderloin Sandwich. All I have to say about that is, I get it now. The ridiculous portion, bang for you buck, and overall taste lives up to the hype. For the current cost of $9.99 you can get this bad boy, breaded and seasoned nicely, fried to perfection, and the pork tenderloin actually has some meat to it which I personally appreciate. Don't expect much from the ambiance or atmosphere. I'm pretty sure it used to be a fast food joint previously, but go for that classic mom and pop diner vibes. Even though they have a limited menu - I imagine like their pork tenderloin everything is quality. I went at an off hour on a Saturday around 3:30 p.m., and we were able to get a table no problem. Mind you it was full when we got there, and there isn't a ton of seating so I imagine any meal time you'll have to wait for a table. Do it for the Pork Tenderloin. You know I'll be back.

    Best fried tenderloin I've had. It was huge but yet moist. The breading was light so not most of the sandwich was primarily meat. Fries skip Well with the trip down. Closed Mondays

    The breaded tenderloin at the Edinburg diner
    Jim J.

    My wife and I went for lunch at the Edinburgh diner. It was not fancy but very clean and the folks inside were fantastic. They were polite answered all of our questions. We had the breaded pork tenderloin. Oh my we split it and we still couldn't eat it all we will definitely go back and I highly recommend the breaded tenderloin there.

    While back in Indiana, I was searching for one of my childhood favorites. A Big Breaded Tenderloin deluxe. Edinburgh diner did not disappoint. Service was quick and friendly, and that Tenderloin sandwich was spot on.

    It's true. The best tenderloin in Indiana.

    Clean courteous service. I recommend the deluxe tenderloin with fries and a drink. Refills kept coming. Along with a side of mayo catsup and mustard.

    The semi-legendary breaded tenderloin sandwich
    Richard P.

    I'd long contemplated a trip down to Edinburgh, Indiana to give the Edinburgh Diner's semi-legendary breaded tenderloin a try. Located on the southern end of Johnson County, the Edinburgh Diner is about a 40-45 minute drive and it's a pretty pleasant drive. While it's easy to think "Why would I drive all the way to Edinburgh?," the truth is that Edinburgh has a few decent sights to see and also surprisingly good shopping located a couple miles from the diner at the Edinburgh Outlet Mall. I've heard hit-and-miss things about the breaded tenderloin sandwich. It's a sandwich noted primarily for its size, though I know at least one tenderloin blogger who thinks that's its most redeeming feature. That said, there are many who also swear by the sandwich and while I'm not a tenderloin connoisseur I was anxious to give it a try. There was simply no doubt it would be my selection for the day. Let's get the basics first. The Edinburgh Diner is for the most part wheelchair friendly. Parking is plentiful and entryways are level to the ground. This is a smaller diner by Indy standards, but it's a pleasant diner for a smaller town. As I entered, I instantly felt both welcomed and comfortable. It was also easy to find a table that worked well with the wheelchair. Employees were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The breaded tenderloin, and only weirdos order a tenderloin grilled (Are you a weirdo?), is a 16-ounce slab o' wonder pounded out (a bit too thin for me) and deep fried. It's not only bigger than the bun, it's probably bigger than three buns. The tenderloin sandwich alone is $9.99, though you can get a side of fries for an extra $1.99. You do need to add $1 to get the sandwich deluxe. I'm an overweight glutton, so I added the fries. Hey, everybody's got their sins. Gluttony is mine. Among the sandwiches on the menu, the tenderloin is the star and the priciest. You can get various burgers, wraps, etc. all for under $10. Quite honestly, there's not a price on the menu I'd be hesitant to pay. They serve Coke products, iced tea, and lemonade. If you've read any of my reviews, you know I'm passionate about iced tea. I did get my always desired refill because, well, when you're eating a tenderloin this big you need to drink. There are also chicken sandwiches and "super sandwiches," both of which actually come with fries. I typically lean toward the chicken sandwich and would likely try that in the future. The tenderloin is quite good. As I noted, it's pounded a bit thinner than I typically like but I definitely enjoyed it and would easily order it again. If you're someone who believes that size matters (You can admit it. We're all friends here.), then you likely owe it to yourself to give this one a try. It's appropriate, I suppose, that it's in "Johnson" county. I'm just saying. Seriously, though. I'm not quite ready to call this a 5-star experience, though it's easily a solid 4-star experience. I actually really liked the fries, as well. For the record, no, I didn't bring any of the sandwich home. It's that gluttony thing, ya know? If you prefer a thinner tenderloin that is still well-seasoned and flavorful, then this will likely make you quite happy. I can easily say no journey through the Indiana tenderloin scene is complete without a visit to the Edinburgh Diner. You'll be greeted by friendly folks in a comfortable environment. You'll have quality food at a fair price. I'm not sure what took me so long to visit Edinburgh Diner, but I'll definitely be returning in the near future.

    We had a tenderloin! We got an extra bun since we knew it was going to be huge. We thought the thickness was perfect. The taste was amazing. The fries left much to be desired but overall, we would go back!

    The Famous

    Friend told me about "The Famous". It was fabulous. My travel companion and I split one and loved it. Very reasonable price. Excellent service. Will stop here again when I'm back in the area.

    Monster sized tenderloin. Well seasoned, not a dry thin disc of breading. Get one and share it with friends.

    After a day of shopping in Edinburgh, we stopped at Montana Mike's for dinner. The restaurant was…read moresuper clean, they were even wiping down the doors when we walked in. We got seated right away and our server was great! The rolls came out warm with cinnamon butter, and my daughter said they were the best ever. We ordered the garden salad with grilled chicken, teriyaki chicken, and chicken tenders with a loaded baked potato. Everything was great and the service was just as good. Bill stopped by after we finished to check on us. He was so friendly and fun to talk to! Definitely a great guy to have on the team. We'll for sure be back next time we're in town!

The atmosphere is very relaxed as well. We started off with the fried zucchini as an appetizer and wow, not only was it delicious but there was also a large amount for the money. My son ordered the 10 oz sirloin, medium, with a double order of fries. Again, the portion of fries for each order was very large (honestly could have fed two people if they had their own steaks. My daughter ordered the boneless buffalo wings with fries and said it was good. My husband ordered the 12 oz New York strip with a salad and baked sweet potato. His steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly, and his sweet potato was perfectly soft and tender. My husband said it was the best sweet potato that he has ever had with how it was cooked. I ordered the ribeye sandwich with rice pilaf and it was all tasty. Though it had the Texas Roadhouse vibe, the food was cooked evenly and seasoned perfectly (unlike every Texas Roadhouse we have been to). Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant as the food was delicious and Jessica W (I think) did an amazing job!
