My husband and I have always loved the breaded pork tenderloins at the Town Tavern in Auburn, Indiana. They have two kinds… The really thin ones that are very large and generously breaded and the one they call the fat boy which is not pounded as thin and has the same delicious breading. I have had them both and they are both delicious.

Thin but not crispy thin with ok flavor. $9.75. If you'r in the Auburn area it's a block from the Cord Auburn Duesenberg Automobile Museum so it's a good place for lunch if you'r visiting the museum.

Disappointment with a side of sadness. First visit only about 20 miles from home. The place had a friendly, inviting vibe, and I was genuinely excited to finally try the Town Tavern Tenderloin b/c all the photos online made it look great. I ordered mine with lettuce and tomato, plus fries and coleslaw on the side. Word of warning: don’t. The tenderloin looked promising pounded thin and beautifully fried but had zero flavor. No seasoning, not even salt. The breading underneath was moist and doughy, which made it heavy and unappetizing. I tried to rescue it with ketchup, but it was beyond saving. It blows my mind that someone can take the time to pound out a tenderloin perfectly thin, then forget the most basic step of adding seasoning. The toppings didn’t help either: wilted lettuce, slimy tomato slices, and a so-called “grilled” bun that never touched a grill. I ended up cutting the sandwich on a napkin because there was no second plate not exactly an enjoyable experience. My husband ordered a Reuben with fries and coleslaw. His reaction? “The fries are horrible.” They were cold, undercooked, and unsalted. The Reuben itself came without Thousand Island dressing, and for $10.95, it was one of the smallest sandwiches we’ve seen. On the bright side, the Coke mix was perfect and the unsweetened tea was fresh, but that’s about it. Our bill was even mixed up and took another 15 minutes to sort out and the place wasn’t even busy. I really wanted to like this place, but it completely missed the mark. Next time, we’ll head to Mad Anthony’s they actually know how to make a tenderloin and a Reuben worth coming back for.
