Breaded Pork Tenderloin sandwich
Jose C.

We arrived here on Saturday night about an hour before they were closing. I didn't realize they closed so early but they greeted us with smiles and got us taken care of with no issues. Overall the service very friendly and great. My wife ordered their Rueben sandwich and I ordered their Pork Tenderloin sandwich. It came with your traditional sliced corn beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and thousand island dressing all in between a grilled rye bread. The sandwich was really good. My wife thought it was delicious. My pork tenderloin sandwich was huge. It did lack seasoning but was cooked perfectly. It was very tender and of course filling. I ordered mine with mayo, tomato and lettuce. I don't go this far south in the Indy area often, but wouldn't mind returning if I'm ever in the area.

Breaded pork tenderloin - trust me there actually is a bun under the meat. - A white round plate contains several pieces of fried chicken with a crispy, golden-brown coating, accompanied by ridged potato chips. The plate is set on a black outdoor table, with a foam takeout container partially visible in the background. The setting appears to be outdoors, possibly at a casual dining or takeout location.

Had lunch with some college friends at The Willard in Franklin, Indiana today. Whenever we play golf at the Legends in Whitestown, we swing by the Willard for lunch. Today I tried the breaded tenderloin. Omg I can't believe how big it is - a family of 4 could dine on that sandwich. It was huge, tender, juicy and flavorful. At first I thought they forgot the bun because I couldn't see it under the meat. I ended up taking over half home for tomorrow's lunch. Oh and our server was very good checking up on us and keeping our beverages full. If you're looking for a good Hoosier pork tenderloin, hit up The Willard.

Menu - The menu features sections for chicken wings, starters, and sides, with items such as boneless and chicken wings, shrimp cocktail, fries, onion rings, nachos, and various dips. Prices range from $6.99 to $13.99. Descriptions include flavors like mild, hot, teriyaki, and sweet chili, with options for different sauces and accompaniments. The menu provides detailed descriptions of each item, including ingredients and serving styles.

Had a good experience at the restaurant this evening. I had the 10 piece, bbq wings and my coworker had a burger with a basket of onion rings. The wings were pretty good, however, my coworkers burger was a bit on a dry side. The beer was cold and refreshing. Service was excellent and friendly. The restaurant had a really old School ambience.

Two days after the New Year we celebrated a birthday luncheon in Franklin. My sister, the birthday girl, had selected this bar and grill in downtown Franklin. I understand that the building had been an old hotel and is host to a certain "ghost". Our table of six were expertly served by a friendly and very efficient server. He was friendly and funny but serious when recommending menu items. First, I can not believe that the quality of food costs so little. They are known for their chicken wings and pizza. I selected the in bone wings with sweet chili sauce and wow were they amazing, I will go back for pizza because my mouth watered with the pie that was delivered to a table near us. Their wings are well above average in the size normally served. The burgers and taco salads ordered by members of our party were so large and enjoyed .

This is a neat spot to go and have a meal in Downtown Franklin. The service was good and service was good too. The food was served quickly and everything tasted good. We had sandwiches and sides. I'd come back possibly and try dinner some time in the near future.

A white round plate contains French fries topped with melted cheese and crispy bacon bits. The fries are thick-cut and golden brown. Two glasses of iced beverages are placed beside the plate, with condensation visible on the glasses. The setting appears to be a casual dining environment with a wooden table, napkins, and a small plate in the background.

I loved the atmosphere. It's casual and clean. There is TONS of seating indoor and outdoor. The staff was nice and food was quick. The prices were also so affordable. HALF of what it would cost elsewhere.

The menu features a variety of sandwiches and wraps, including options like Reuben, grilled chicken, pulled pork, and fish sandwiches, with prices ranging from $8.99 to $14.99. It also offers Mexican platters such as burrito and quesadilla, each priced at $11.99. The menu includes details about ingredients and bread choices, and mentions additional options like bread choices and extra cheese. The menu is printed on a textured background with a maroon border.

Great service and amazing food, definitely recommend! Great outdoor seating and great location to go walking around afterwards!

We went there on a very busy fest day. It took a while to get the attention of a server, but once that happened we were happy with the service and the food. We ordered tall beers and they came quickly. We shared loaded nachos and had their fish and fries. Everything was very good. We plan to go again and take more of the Willard family. The building itself is historic and beautiful. The food is pub food and delicious. I want to try the pizza or a burger next visit.

Does anyone know if The Willard has wheelchair access? I was by there this weekend and didn't see anything on the outside, but thought maybe it connects from Artcraft or in another way.

It is! It's a ramp in the back of the building that guides you through the kitchen to the dining room! You just have to call them ahead of time!

Are their tenderloins fresh or from frozen patties?

Frozen
