Tenderloin and fries
Mark E.

This restaurant has been here for a long time. It's a very relaxed environment and has comfort foods. The staff is incredibly welcoming. I had a tenderloin with fries. Tenderloin was good, fries were excellent. I was tempted by their selection of dessert pies but passed.

Smoked Pork Chop Special

Excellent food, service and quaint country ambiance. My family has been eating here for decades and have never left disappointed. Took my dad here last evening for late lunch/early dinner. I chose the Smoked Pork Chop Special. My dad ordered from the menu a Barbecue Sandwich. My two chops were delicious along with the flavorful home cooked style green beans with seasoning meat, mashed potatoes w/white gravy & roll. Very good and filling with a whole chop left over for today. My dad had the most amazingly large barbecue sandwich that he said was excellent He also had french fries brought out fresh from the fryer. He is somewhat of a barbecue expert being one of his go to's and he said it was one of the best! It was so large he ended up bringing a half home too. Our server Jenny was extremely friendly and attentive. The owner always meets regulars with a big hello and inquiry about the family and good old fashion conversation.

Wheat toast, smoked sausage, and fried eggs
B K.

Dude OMG in the middle of nowhere is one of the dopest breakfast spots of all time. Live for places like this. Cannot over emphasis enough how legit this place is, the smoked sausage is NEXT level.

Only thing missing was my mom, only 2nd time there ever without her. Owners and staff always so kind to my parents..on top of good food!!!

My parents and I have been driving to Sulphur Springs to come to the Iron Kettle for years. Always, without exception good quality home cooked food! I have never been disappointed with a meal and today's meatloaf was no exception. Take a nice country drive for small town hospitality with old fashion home cooked meals.

Grill-A Grill only opened in 2024 and is one of the top contenders for best hand-breaded…read moretenderloins in Indiana. Indeed, the tiny restaurant on Main Street in Markleville (population 484) is filled most evenings and weekend lunch with guests anxious for the hand breaded sandwiches, hand cut fries, burgers, wings and more. The owner, Doug, began restoring the historic building in 2019. Now he is working to add dining space upstairs for another 15 tables to help accommodate the demand. I was steered to the restaurant by a fellow Yelper from Virginia. I did not hesitate to make the 90 mile round trip drive for lunch. The dining room is small with a couple cloth covered tables and a bar seating. Soft country music fills the room and a gorilla hangs from the ceiling. The tenderloin is incredibly tender, fresh, juicy and hot with a perfectly seasoned breading. I ordered the regular size tenderloin, Doug also serves a larger version that is about a pound of meat. And don't skip the fries - hand cut and crisp. The fries are 5 star too. The service is impeccable, the kind of small town service that makes you feel special. We loved hearing Doug's story. There is street parking on the side of the building. They do a robust carry-out business, as well. They are not currently serving alcohol. They are not opened mid week for lunch- check the hours. It's worth the drive, even from out of state. So good!

They have the best tenderloin in the state, hands down. The fries are amazing too. Everyone I know…read moresays the same thing about this place. It's a gem and worth the roadtrip. Seating is somewhat limited but they are exapnding. They are also known for their pizza and burgers although I've heard everything is great. I have had the tenderloin twice now and it's consistently perfect.

Me and my boyfriend moved back to Indiana from San Antonio about a year ago. We live in…read moreShelbyville and we were told about this place while eating dinner at a Mexican Restaurant one evening. We decided to check it out for breakfast. It was delicious, and we've eaten there a few times since and always have a great experience. We both have been wanting to try some of their lunch specials, but we work and can't get there to check it out. We were off today and decided to go there for lunch because they were having chicken and noodles, and that's one of my favorite meals. It did not disappoint at all. My boyfriend and I both enjoyed our meals and even ordered seconds to go, so we could have it for dinner. The chicken and noodles came with mashed potatoes, corn or green beans, and a roll. You could definitely tell the food was homemade too. Delicious! The Farmhouse Diner isn't a very big restaurant and can get pretty busy. It reminds me of a little country diner where all the local farmers and their wives go to eat breakfast and lunch. The staff is always super friendly and attentive too. We will definitely be going back.

It gets harder and harder to find a good breakfast place when traveling and the Farmhouse Diner is…read moregreat! Service is fast and friendly and the food freshly prepared and delicious! You'll find all your favorite breakfast items. Highly recommend!
