About Trojan Horse
Trojan Horse on E Kirkwood Avenue in Bloomington, Indiana has been serving the Indiana University corridor since 1978, built its reputation on authentic Greek food, and also puts out a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich that reviewers call well-prepared, satisfyingly thick, and not overwhelming. That is a specific calibration: a tenderloin that has the right thickness without veering into the spectacle territory that some Monroe County competition occupies.
The tenderloin at Trojan Horse is available hand-breaded or grilled, dressed to preference, on a fresh bun. The kitchen cares about the whole menu equally, which means the tenderloin does not feel like an afterthought alongside the Greek specialties. The Kirkwood Avenue location puts it directly in the Indiana University pedestrian zone, a block from Sample Gates and the heart of campus foot traffic.
Trojan Horse runs Monday through Saturday, closed Sunday, with late Friday and Saturday hours until 10:00 PM. For a restaurant that has operated on the same block since 1978, the consistency speaks for itself.
For anyone in Bloomington exploring the full Monroe County tenderloin circuit, Trojan Horse at 100 E Kirkwood Ave is the 1978 Greek institution that also happens to have a solid Indiana tenderloin. Order the tenderloin alongside something from the Greek menu. It is a combination that has been working for 45-plus years.
