About Lebanon Milky Way
Lebanon Milky Way on Indianapolis Avenue in Lebanon, Indiana has been feeding Boone County for generations as a family-owned drive-in and diner, and the hand-breaded pork tenderloin sandwich is the item that regulars specifically call out for being fresh and not frozen. That is a simple but meaningful distinction in a state where fritter-style frozen product sometimes gets passed off as the real thing.
The tenderloin is pounded thin, hand-breaded to a golden crispy finish, and served on a soft bun with the standard toppings. The milky way ice cream program runs alongside, making Lebanon Milky Way the kind of two-course lunch stop that Indiana diner culture perfected decades ago. Open Monday through Saturday until 8:30 PM, closed Sunday.
Lebanon is the Boone County seat on I-65 about 30 miles northwest of Indianapolis. The Indianapolis Avenue address is on the south end of town near the main commercial corridor, accessible from the interstate. Klooz Brewz is the other serious tenderloin option in Lebanon, giving Boone County two distinct stops.
For anyone in Boone County or routing through Lebanon on I-65, Lebanon Milky Way at 836 Indianapolis Ave is the classic drive-in entry. The fresh-not-frozen commitment is the baseline that earns everything else.
