What is a Breaded Pork Tenderloin Sandwich?
The breaded pork tenderloin sandwich (BPT) is an iconic Midwest comfort food featuring a pounded, breaded, and deep-fried pork cutlet served on a bun. Often much larger than the bread itself, these sandwiches are beloved for their crispy golden exterior and tender, juicy meat inside.
Originating in Indiana, the BPT has become a regional treasure enjoyed throughout the Midwest and beyond. Our directory helps you find the best examples of this classic American sandwich.

Good sandwich. It was not overcooked. They just need to change oil more often.
Not a giant BPT, but it was very well seasoned, juicy, fresh, hot, and tender. Got it with ketchup and onions.
We’re from New York. When we visit Indiana family we make sure to hit Dawson’s for the breaded tenderloin sandwich. In fact I can taste it as I write this recommendation. Wonderful.
Being lazy tonight after my daughter's softball practice, can't go wrong with Catchers Tap! I got the Ruben, hubby got the pork tenderloin sandwich which is as big as his head, and daughter got the burger, but omg delicious!
I almost drove away because the place looked closed except for a tiny little “OPEN” sign on the door. Inside was dark enough that your eyes needed time to adjust, but once the food arrived, none of that mattered. Tenderloins are only served Wednesdays and Saturdays, and after trying this one, I understand why people wait for it. The toppings were simple but perfect... crisp lettuce, thick-cut salty pickles that may be some of the best I’ve had anywhere, juicy tomato, and flavorful onions. The bun somehow held together despite the monster sitting on top of it. And the tenderloin itself? Incredible. Thick-cut pork ranging from 1/2" to over an inch thick, unbelievably juicy, and packed with flavor. The battered breading was super crunchy and possibly the best seasoned coating I’ve ever had on a tenderloin. I honestly never thought I’d find one better than Babe's… but this one was.
First time visit and I’m definitely going back! One of the best I’ve had in a long time. Nicely seasoned and great thickness. Approximately $19 for sandwich, fries, and a drink. I would highly recommend.
