About Royal Pin Woodland
Royal Pin Woodland at 3421 E 96th St in Indianapolis, Indiana is a 70-lane bowling alley and entertainment center with laser tag, mini-golf, and a cafe that serves a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich worth knowing about. It is not the kind of tenderloin destination that shows up on road trip itineraries, but for anyone already at Royal Pin or in the northeast Indianapolis corridor, the sandwich is genuinely good.
The tenderloin is described as having good texture and the right level of thickness, which is a measured endorsement from a reviewer who clearly has opinions about these things. The tots are the better side call over fries according to that same reviewer, which is a small but specific piece of intel. Priced for the entertainment center context, it is a full-service cafe rather than a concession stand, and the quality reflects that distinction.
Royal Pin Woodland is open seven days a week from 9:00 AM, running until 11:00 PM Sunday through Thursday and midnight on Friday and Saturday. The northeast Indianapolis location on E 96th St is in the Castleton area, convenient to anyone spending time in Hamilton County or the northeast Indy suburbs.
For tenderloin hunters building a complete Indianapolis-area survey, Royal Pin Woodland is the bowling alley entry on the list. The sandwich holds up, the tots are the right call, and the novelty of eating a solid Indiana pork tenderloin inside a 70-lane bowling complex is genuinely worth experiencing once.
