About Harry's Chocolate Shop
Harry's Chocolate Shop on W State Street in West Lafayette, Indiana has been a Purdue University campus institution since 1919, which makes it the second-oldest continuously operating tenderloin stop in the state behind only Triple XXX Family Restaurant a few blocks away. The two Purdue-corridor institutions together cover over two centuries of West Lafayette tenderloin history between them on the same end of W State Street.
The breaded pork tenderloin sandwich at Harry's earns specific praise from the Boilermaker community that has been ordering it across generations. The campus bar and restaurant identity runs deep: open Monday through Saturday until 3:00 AM and Sunday from noon until 3:00 AM, which gives West Lafayette a tenderloin option that outlasts everything else in Tippecanoe County by several hours. The lively atmosphere, historic charm, and 105-plus years of campus tradition give Harry's a context that no other tenderloin stop in Indiana can match.
For any Purdue student, alumni, or visitor building the West Lafayette tenderloin circuit alongside Triple XXX and AJ's Burgers, Harry's Chocolate Shop at 329 W State St is the 1919 institution that closes at 3:00 AM every night of the week. The tenderloin has been on the menu for a very long time. Order it with something cold and stay awhile.
