    Bloody Mary, regular mimosa and mimosa with sparkling grapefruit.
    Deanna A.

    We had a reservation for three of us at a booth in the bar area and were seated promptly. Our server was Sierra (sp?) and was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. We a started out with a Bloody Mary and mimosas and the fried green tomatoes with chipotle ranch appetizer, all of which were very good and came out quickly. My husband ordered the tenderloin and onion rings and my sister and I shared a salmon salad and the Hoosier Hot Plate. Everything was delicious. The tenderloins were thick and had a nice, crunchy breading. The onion rings, potatoes with white gravy and green beans were perfect accompaniments. The salad had a nice sized portion of salmon and a great dressing that complimented it. To top it off, I got a free birthday dessert! Five words- Molten Chocolate Cake.... GET IT! You won't be disappointed if you like chocolate. Looking forward to our next visit!

    Not too shabby at all. Place was pretty packed but we were seated quickly. Friendly service. Nice atmosphere. The menu has a good variety at nice prices. Food was average. Thing special but nothing to complain about.

    Service is always great, however my sister and I went last night and Jennifer was our waitress and the Service was EXCEPTIONAL. If you're eating here, try the Long Island they are the best! Do yourself a favor and request Jennifer as your server, you won't regret it.

    This is a nice place for a for a dinner with friends. Wifie and I enjoyed the experience.. the service was spot on. The food was good and the conversation was really good. I had the chicken Cordon Bleu with sweet potato fries which was really yummy. Wifie had the stir fry which she really enjoyed. We both had salads as one of our sides. This place is worth a visit again.

    The food is awful with no flavor along with poor service. This place should just take the flavorless menu and close up shop.

    Good food. Nice atmosphere. Can get healthy options. The fries are good. Not dry but not overly greasy either. I'd definitely go back.

    Artie's is a little corner sandwich shop that has been around since the 1940's. The tiny diner…read moreprobably hasn't changed much over those 80 years with original vinyl counter seats and Formica tables. I counted five booths and five counter stools that stayed full during our visit. The staff (a couple) are salt-of-the-earth sweet and hustle to keep orders coming. They know the regulars by name and cajole about family. The menu offers breakfast or lunch, with tenderloins as the featured items. Prices are inexpensive. Food comes out quickly. The tenderloins are premade and frozen. They are thin and the breading is flavorful. I had the daily special, a Tenderloin Manhattan which came with green beans and mashed potatoes. This was pure comfort food. The potatoes and tenderloin were good, but the gravy was over salty for me. My husband had the tenderloin sandwich with fries. The tenderloin was ok and the fries were really hot and good. An article on the wall indicated that Artie, the original owner, passed away in an auto accident in 1954. A local business award plaque hung above our table. I'm not sure that the shop is A.D.A. compliant as there are steps at the front door and the aisle is very narrow. There may be a ramp at a rear entrance, I couldn't tell. We found free street parking on an adjacent street. I give the place high marks on character and I love the service. The food is ok.

So review has nothing to do with ambiance lol…read moreI'm a transplanted New Yorker so a tenderloin is not part of my memories and honestly, I mostly don't enjoy fried sandwiches. In the world of tenderloins, these are stars. I ordered a lunch special my husband wisely ordered the tenderloin. Mine was...well look at the pictures. It was very tasty with the tenderloin you can taste that it's pork not a fried cracker. I will certainly get one next time. It's honestly the way to go.. I have a very sensitive nose and I can smell old oil at 100 feet there was no smell of oil at all. My husband had fries and they were not at all oily. Your waiter and waitress are the owners and the cook and whatever needs to be done I guess very pleasant prompt service. I'm going to post a bunch of pictures. The mashed potatoes in the picture are actual mashed potatoes not fake The green beans are probably canned possibly frozen. They were fine. My husband is the gravy connoisseur and he said the gravy was excellent. Everything you see in the pictures that I post everything including a 20% tip came to $22 and less than $.50 unbelievable .

There was a 45 minute wait, but it was definitely worth the wait. I also appreciated that we could wait in the covered patio area instead of being squeezed into the restaurant. I loved the chocolate chip pancakes--the portion size is HUGE, yet reasonably priced! The omelettes were also a big hit at my table; my dad customized his own omelette, but they also have some specialty omelettes on the menu. I definitely recommend adding a side of hash browns to your order! Frittatas really hit the spot--it was the perfect place to enjoy a family brunch.
