They didn't know whose kitchen made it. They just knew it was one of the best in Iowa
Anonymous judges. 532 restaurants. Nearly 6,000 nominations from real Iowans who know their pork tenderloins.
When the judges sat down to eat ours, they had no idea it came out of a little bar kitchen on 2nd Street in Stuart. No name. No reputation to lean on. Just the tenderloin itself. Hand-breaded, pounded right, fried the way it's supposed to be. It earned 2024 Runner-Up in Iowa's Best Breaded Pork Tenderloin Contest on its own merits. Final five out of 532. We're proud of that.
Come find out what the judges found. We're open Monday through Saturday from 11am. 🏆
