    Breaded pork tenderloin  and French fries
    Laura S.

    On a road trip we decided to stop in here. Totally worth it. Seated immediately, everyone was nice. Place was clean. Not real busy as it was early dinner on a Monday. Let me tell you it was huge! It was crispy! It was juicy! It wasn't paper thin. It was perfect! And the fries were bomb too! Hot and fresh. If you're in the area, this is a must have

    Deuce Tenderloin

    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.

    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.

    Heading home we were starving. Thank goodness they were open on a Monday. What an awesome place! It's on the main street in this cute town. Sat at the bar and our server was wonderful and sweet. The food was really good They're known for their pork tenderloin.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Crazy Giant Tenderloin and fries or tots for $10 on Tuesdays! Very cool place and well worth a drive!

    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.

    Ordered The Deuce for two of us to share and we still had some to take home. The pork tenderloin was delicious and the tots were nice and crispy. Wish we had a sandwich this good back home in Texas.

    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.

    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!

    This thing was bigger than my hand!

    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!

You see, a large group of us college friends living in the city, and some new friends we've picked up along the way, enjoy visiting our friend from college working her dream job in the dreamy Hoosier State. Our plan is simple: travel by car to the land of "two-bedrooms with parking, a yard, in-unit washer/dryer, and a dishwasher for $400 a month", load up on sustenance, cruise on the boat in Lake Shafer all day, get silly, take over a bar, and make decisions that should only be made by freshman college girls. Our usual poor decision spot closed a few months ago and, this time around, Sayler's became our latest watering hole debacle. And so begins my open letter to Sayler's. Dear Sayler's, Thanks for gracefully dealing with the presence of by 6 FIPS and our 4 local friends this past weekend. From the moment we hit the boat at 11AM Saturday morning we knew that any establishment in the Monticello area would be "happy" to have us as patrons. Your close proximity to our home base made you an easy target for our debauchery and fun that we surely brought. Your $12 beer buckets and less than $3 shots insured that we would be even more fun than we already were by giving us crazy amounts of liquid courage. This helped us negotiate with the DJ when choosing songs for the bar (we were sad to find out he did not have "Midnight Train to Georgia"), populate what was a vacant dance floor, and demonstrate to the rest of the bar patrons how to do planking exercises in multiple places throughout the bar. I can only hope that we were not only a fun presence to be around, but that we also taught your customers important fitness techniques. Although we felt we may have overstayed our welcome by the end of the night (thanks to the girl who tried to "start something" in the bathroom with a friend), thankfully we had one friend who was able to keep us in check, offer a shield or protection, and help us get on our merry way. We still hope you welcome us back the next time you are in town. Signed, Me PS Terri, I hope you had a great 50th birthday party. We sure had fun!
