I recently visited One Eyed Jacks, and I couldn't have been more impressed. The food was absolutely amazing--everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. You can really tell they take pride in what they serve. The service was just as outstanding. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was right without being overbearing. It created a really welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere. Overall, this was a great experience from start to finish. If you're in Winamac and looking for a place with excellent food and top-notch service, I highly recommend giving One Eyed Jacks a try. read more

I would normally get the tenderloin bites. I wasn't very hungry so I got a cup of delicious tomato soup and the smash burger which is smaller version of their regular burger. It was really good. My husband got the potato soup and chili. Unfortunately he could still taste the flour and the potatoes were undercooked. He didn't care for the chili. We've been here before so I'll give them another try. read more

We belong to an online tenderloin group and this place pops up all the time so we made the trek up from Indy to Winimac. We were seated at the back of the bar at a hightop. We ordered drinks and placed our orders. Servers were attentive but not overly talkative. The ONLY drawback was that we waited for almost 45 minutes for food. Now... typically i wouldn't give a great review where we would have sat for 45 minutes waiting on sandwiches.... but then the food showed up. When i say it was worth the wait, i really mean it. This is a nicely thick tenderloin with the most crispy, light breading and it was seasoned perfectly. Needless to say we will go back but make sure we have more time between stops. read more

One Eyed Jack's - Tenderloin - American Near Me - Winamac, Indiana

Let me just say it; if I could give this place 0 stars, I would. I have lived in the Midwest my entire life, and I have never felt as discriminated against as I did here tonight. Not only were we told to shut up and be quiet in the middle of a very loud restaurant by their staff (red shit), but we waited almost 2 hours for food that never came. Our server herself very kind very sweet, but the other woman in red behind the counter (drinking a Coors light bottle on the job) was aggressively rude to us and we never got our food. It honestly makes me upset because it looks like the food would've been good, but I 10/10 do NOT recommend if you are a minority and you want to be respected in your surroundings. read more

On a recent trip, a couple seated next to us on our flight recommended One Eye Jack's, so we decided to make a special trip to try it out. They are well-known for their breaded pork tenderloin, so my husband and I went for lunch and ordered the "Deuce." It was a large, thick tenderloin that came with two buns, so we were able to cut it in half and share. The flavors were absolutely delicious; it was a little too thick for my personal preference, but overall it was very good.The service was also great--both our waitress and the gentleman at the counter were very friendly. read more

I don't really give 1-star reviews, but when you wait patiently for over 1.5 hours for your order, I have to leave an honest review. The restaurant made zero attempt to make our food. People came, ordered, and left while we sat there wondering where our food is. This is a burger joint with fried food, so nothing that could take over an hour to cook. Whoever the floor manager is did nothing to make up for the wait. No appetizers, apologies, or anything. After 50 minutes, while we were patiently waiting, one lady that worked there came and told us to be quiet. We literally were just waiting for our food. After another 40 ish minute we asked where our food is, and they said they were bagging it. You can see inside the kitchen from the dining room, and there was nothing being bagged. Other food was getting sent to other tables but nothing for us. I've never experienced such terrible service. Their manager even made their own server cry by not taking ownership and being hospitable or professional in this situation. I'm kind of dumbfounded by how terribly we were treated. read more

They are well known for having a great Indiana tenderloin. It has multiple variations. I had a standard tenderloin with tomato, picked, onion and mayo. It's a very good sandwich. They have a batter versus breading. It's a big meal so bring your appetite. It's generally crowded every time I'm here too. read more

The place to go for the famous tenderloin. I did not enter the contest, but maybe I'll try it someday. Haha. Food was tasty. Staff was very friendly and attentive to our table. It is busy as I am sure it is all the time. read more

This one is tough to review. We drove about 25 miles out of our way just to go here for the tenderloin. The place had a nice decor and comfortable atmosphere, fabulous menu. Lots of options, good selection of draft beers, great sounding and looking foods and deserts. We got the special which was the original tenderloin sandwich with fries or tots. Good price, beautiful, giant, thick tenderloin. When it first came out, I said, "Now this is the real deal!" Not some paper-thin oversized breading disc. This was a real pork tenderloin battered beautifully and mammoth in size. It took a little long to get there, but not a big deal. Unfortunately, the flavor was not great. Without the toppings, the beautiful tenderloin was basically flavorless. The fries were ok, but not great and the tots were bordering on bad tasting. The only way I can really describe the flavor is bland and disappointing. They had some of our favorite pies for dessert. But don't waste your money on those. The crust was that horrible white dry crap you get at the grocery. The slices were extremely small, and the flavor and texture was terrible. My teenage daughter makes a great sugar cream pie and we all love it, but this was no comparison (in a bad way). It was pasty and flavorless. The strawberry rhubarb was just plain bad. Overall, it really wasn't worth going an hour out of our way for dinner. The service was fine, although it was hard to tell who our server was since it was someone different each time something came out. If you want to post an amazing picture of a tenderloin sandwich on your social media, this is the place for you. If you want something good to eat, go elsewhere. read more

Did not like it very greasy and unfavorable pork tenderloin never will return. Not what we expected at all and we drove an hour.

I'm so glad we came here. I mean, we were visiting family in Winimac so we had to go check out One Eyed Jacks. Epically ginormous tenderloin! I have to say that this was the best and biggest fried tenderloin that I have ever consumed! You cannot go wrong with this sandwich. I got a side of the Boom sauce with it. It was good but nothing to write home about. I'll try a different sauce next time. All end by saying, If you stop by, you better come hungry. read more

We drove 90 minute north for the breaded pork tenderloin and it did not disappoint. My wife and I opted for The Deuce, since one is way too large. Basically, you're getting an extra bun and toppings. Perfect for sharing. The tenderloin was thick and tender. The tempura batter was super crunchy and seasoned well. If I could nit pick, my mouth was a bit raw afterwards. It's like eating Cap'n Crunch cereal. (If you know, you know.). I have no idea how the competitive eaters can handle the 7 pound challenge. Our waitress was phenomenal. I wish I caught her name. She was very patient and very helpful. The breaded pork tenderloin has its own page on the menu. She walked me through the differences between them all. She highly recommended the Tenderloin Bits, which someone in our group ordered. The menu makes the serving look small. It is not! It's a 12 oz tenderloin cut up and then fried. The serve Coke products and have a long beer list. read more

It was a busy Saturday afternoon. We were seated and served our beverages promptly. Unfortunately the rest of the dining experience was terrible. We waited a good 45 minutes for our food. I got the wings were over sauced and soggy. Terrible! My son got the burger which was ok... my other son had the famous tenderloins and could eat half... he said was good! The wait times for the food were crazy! Don't be in a hurry if you eat here! read more

The entire reason I visited One-eyed Jacks was because I heard so much about their breaded pork tenderloin and it did not disappoint. The tenderloin was thicker than you find in most places, which means it was also moister. The breading was perfection. I ordered mine with lettuce, mayo, onion, and mayo. I just took the bun off because it was pointless. I think this will be four meals out of one sandwich. It's excellent value. Service was spot on. This place really should be a pilgrimage for anyone who craves Hoosier Breaded Pork Tenderloin sandwiches. I will visit again. read more

I was traveling through Winamac and I found this "looks like a dive, but actually a really nice diner inside." The state delicacy of Indiana is the pork tenderloin sandwich and supposedly a key part is to make the tenderloin at least twice the size of the bun. One-Eyed Jack's excelled at this part. This sandwich was mammoth! Another key part is the tenderloin being battered in-house ... in more ways than one. The batter on the tenderloin was crisp but not too greasy. It reminded me of a terrific batter you would find at fairs. And the other way I mean battered is that this tenderloin was tenderized so well...I almost thought I was eating chicken instead of basically a pork chop. The mayo, red onion, tomato, and pickle ...and a little bit of ketchup I added made this a legendary sandwich! I am from Alabama and a difficulty I have had living in Indiana is finding sweet tea. Surprisingly, One-Eyed Jack's brews their tea in-house which is more important than the amount of sugar. The sweet tea had enough sweetness to it to make it delicious though it would probably be considered half and half in my native Alabama. Roll Tide! But I was satisfied with their sweet tea and would order it again. There are weekly specials like I could have had wings if I had arrived an hour later. They also do BBQ on the weekends. I will be making more visits to One-Eyed Jack's in the future. read more

This is our second visit. Just as amazing as the first. Drinks are well poured and they have quite a selection too. We got tenderloins. It is big enough for two servings at least. It is thick, delicious and crispy. This time we tried the portabella fries. It was huge portabella caps split into sections, battered and fried. I got sweet potato fries and husband got normal fries. Both were crispy and good. This place is now in our rotation of good meal spots. read more

After living in northern Indiana 8 years, I finally made the 40 minute drive down to One Eyed Jack's for their famous pork tenderloin sandwich. We arrived at 7p on a Friday evening. The restaurant was pretty full, but we were quickly seated. Servers were quick and attentive. Our starter was the Boom boom shrimp. After reviewing the menu, and looking over the plates of the customers near us, I quickly decided on the Queen pork tenderloin sandwich with tater tots. My wife chose the Ribeye sandwich, and my daughter chose the Italian sandwich. The boob boom shrimp was served sizzling hot, in the spicy boom boom sauce. We all agreed it was very good appetizer. Our entrees soon arrived. My pork tenderloin sandwich was very good. To manhandle the bun, I had to cut off the excess pork tenderloin. It was a great sandwich. My wife and daughter both very much enjoyed their sandwiches as well. It was an all around very good Friday night meal. I am already looking forward to our next visit to One Eyed Jack's. read more

I heard that One Eyed Jack's had one of the best tenderloins in Indiana, so I drove 80 miles from the Indianapolis area to check it out. Arrived at 12:30 pm and the place was packed. A very pleasant server said it would be 15 to 20 minutes to be seated. It was worth the wait. The tenderloin was absolutely delicious. I ordered tater tots with mine and my wife ordered French fries. I would recommend the fries. If you're ever in the area I recommend it. One Eyed Jack's is a typical small town meeting place decked out in Chicago Cubs and Bears decor. A bit noisy but great personal service with a reasonably priced and varied menu. read more

We went camping over the weekend at Tippecanoe. Before we left for the trip we were recommended the tenderloin here. We were very pleased. The tenderloins were gigantic and delicious. We arrived at the tail end of a lunch rush so we waited a few extra minutes for our food and it was totally worth it. The waitress was incredibly friendly and did a great job at keeping her cool when another customer was being rude to her about an extra 5 minute wait. Next time I'm in the area I will be stopping in to try the tenderloin myself because I could not resist the soup flight, it was so filling and delicious I had lunch the next day! read more

One Eyed Jack's - My boys enjoying their tenderloins! - American Near Me - Winamac, Indiana

We had a short wait for a table but it was definitely worth the wait. It's a comfortable restaurant with a family dining area and a bar area. The staff was pleasant and knowledgeable. There were plenty of options on the menu to choose from. Everything from wings to fish, rib eye and even a king crab leg dinner! But the star of the show is the hand breaded tenderloin. These things are an Indiana legend! They will put whatever toppings on it that you want but to stay true to the Indiana tradition, you will only top it with pickles and yellow mustard. The breading was delicious. Very crispy and not too greasy. Our waitress recommended trimming around the bun and taking those pieces home. We took her advice and we are looking forward to leftovers tomorrow! They have an extensive beer list and if you're lucky, they'll still have some fresh pie for dessert! We took it to go by the way. No way we were walking away from pie but also no way we were eating it after that tenderloin! Pro Tip: Order the Double Deuce which comes with two buns. It's a smaller portion when shared so less leftovers or food waste. Overall this is a tremendous value, a great neighborhood bar and food good enough to come back for! read more

Excellent! Charming local restaurant known for pork tenderloins, but don't let that fool you...all food is good. Excellent service, cute clean place. We did the tenderloins of course, which were thick, juicy, and beer battered. Amazing. You must start with the giant fried portbellas with homemade chipotle dipping sauce. Then we took wonderful desserts to go...peanut butter pie, lemon meringue, and Dutch apple. You gotta go here. read more

the waitress DANA was so sweet. we were sat quickly, we got there around 4:30 pm on a Friday evening. My fiance ordered the jumbo jack tenderloin sandwich with loaded tots, and I ordered the garlic Parmesan boneless wings, and we also had portabello fries as an appetizer, the ambiance was so amazing. There is a wide arrange of food to choose from. So if you haven't been, go try it out! There is also a titanic challenge where you get a 4 tenderloin sandwich that is 7 pds and 2lbs of tots and you have to finish it under an hour, you get a shirt, the food is free and you get your picture up on the wall. read more

Great food and friendly staff. The pork tenderloin is bigger than my huge head. Everything was hot and ready when we ordered.

I have to give a major shout out to One Eye Jacks restaurant. I had pre-ordered a pie for an event, pie that was picked up was not correct. I was out of time, management at One Eyed Jacks literally delivered the correct pie to our event! That is true customer service!!! So very thankful to One Eye Jacks! Your dedication is much appreciated read more

Service was wonder and they were packed. From start to finish. Wonderful and delicious food.

Beware if going on a Friday or Saturday, you will have a wait time for a table. And, most likely a line already formed! For a small town family run business, they are doing great at constantly keeping up with the large crowds. The place has a line for a reason folks! Delicious, Worth it, Friendly service!!!! read more

We drove a hour to check this place out. We spent $170 (3 meals and 2 to go.). We were eating desert and having some drinks when the female waitress told us we needed to leave because she wanted our table. We waited 45 minutes for our food and we were there for 1.45 mins. We were shocked and insulted. We had to leave our paid for drinks unfinished. We will never return! read more

Tried the chili and tenderloin bites. Chili was a bit too tomato based and like warm. I'm not exaggerating but the tenderloin bites took at a half hour to 45 minutes. Finally someone said they were burnt and had to be redone. We were there every bit of an hour. Slow service and water was never refilled. Wasted an hour of my life I can't get back. This was on a Saturday afternoon. Won't be back read more

Well known for their tenderloins. I saw quite a few go out and they looked like they lived up to the Hoosier Hype! I got the smelts and they were everything i hoped they would be, crispy, crunchy, not overly fishy and enough for 3 people. My friend had the whitefish and enjoyed it. It was a Friday evening and by the time we left. The line was outside and around the corner. Next time I'm going with their famous tenderloin. It's uniquely decorated in an old west, kinda parlor style. Well go back! read more
