All the staff were super friendly and service was fast. There is an upstairs with more seating. Food was great! Probably the best tenderloin I've had. We also had the Grill-A wings and meatloaver sub and both were fantastic! read more

They have the best tenderloin in the state, hands down. The fries are amazing too. Everyone I know says 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. read more

The Grill A - Burgers Near Me - Markleville, Indiana

Grill-A Grill only opened in 2024 and is one of the top contenders for best hand-breaded tenderloins 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! read more

Classic little hole in the wall in the smallest of small towns. When I'm back in Indiana I like getting breaded tenderloins and the Grill A's is fantastic. They have the usual large ones but I went for the regular size and it was still huge. Loved the breading and seasoning for the pork. I put it right up there with the best tenderloin I've had. Very good fries as well to complement their menu of sandwiches. Small bar and about 5 or 6 tables inside so be prepared to not have much room but that's what makes it great. Always packed which tells you they have something special. read more

We visited right at 11:00 AM on the dot because we knew we had a party of 15 and they informed us they only had seating for 22. We truly took nearly every seat in the place and they accommodated us so well. If you come with a large group, there is not seating for large groups. People will be seated at a few tables for four and most will be sitting at the bar. We were totally fine with us as this was a birthday party and we were all walking about socializing. This is an extremely popular place. Not only where we lined up at the door at 11 AM, other people were as well and people had to be turned away. There was some outside seating which added about another six seats for people who wanted to sit outside. The food was excellent! Several people tried the tenderloin, which is what they are known for and each person loved it. You can get different types of cheese and a variety of toppings, and everyone got a tenderloin catered to their liking. The hand cut fries were absolutely my favorite. We got a 14 inch Pizza and everyone shared it and tried it and agreed the pizza was as epic as the tenderloin. This is family, friendly, no alcohol. Definitely worth the trip to Markleville. It's also worth mentioning that there is a public parking area to the south east for plenty of ample parking. In addition, there's a nice little park with a gazebo where we were all able to go sit and visit afterwards and free up seating for the restaurant. read more

It was a beautiful day, so the wife and I took a drive to Markleville where grill a grills was known to have the best breaded tenderloin in the state. There was about a 10 to 15 minute wait which outdoor seating was readily available. The waitresses were very friendly and nice. We even talk to the owner. This place was very clean but small it had a pretty big bar which we ended up setting at and about four or five tables. We ordered the breaded tenderloin and decided to split it. It was huge and thick and juicy with just the right amount of crunch to it. We cut it in half and realized we had to cut the halves in half and that made for the perfect sandwich when we have Some time and feel like a drive. We will definitely go back. My wife said we've eaten a lot of good tenderloins, but this has be the best, I have to agree. read more

The tenderloin we ordered was great . We ordered the big one which is huge and plenty for two people . We got a side salad and fries as well. The fries were hot and cooked the way we like them with the skin on. The servers were polite and checked in us several times. The Resturant is small only a few tables and seating at the counter. It's well worth the trip to Markelville. Defiantly will be going back. read more
