Visiting Spring Mill State Park, which happened to be "under construction", with restaurant within the park "closed", a couple of friends and myself left the park tired and hungry. We got out our iphone and searched for the nearest place for lunch/dinner. Railroad Cafe came up so that's how we ended up there. The ambiance as we walked inside was small time diner. The Staff were very polite and helpful. We asked for recommendations, which lead us to our order. 1 grilled Tenderloin sandwich, 1 fried Tenderloin sandwich, and 1 Chicken Salad. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS! I would definitely go back again!

Split a tenderloin sandwich in two and left with still a half a sandwich! But also had the amazing onion rings and outstanding fried pickles. Everything was fantastic and fresh!! Service was spectacularly nice and welcoming! We will definitely be making this stop again next time we are in the area. The place also has really fun and historical decor. Definitely worth a trip!

The pork tenderloin was massive! And not some skimpy piece of pork pounded to oblivion. It was a nice big cut of meat and fried perfectly. Staff was friendly and service was good.

We found this place looking for a new place to try on Yelp. Was a little bit of a drive but totally worth it. To say the portions are large is an understatement. This was the largest tenderloin I've ever seen. It was delicious. The service was excellent. They have daily specials, today was meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans also a marinaded pork chop mashed potatoes with cajun gravy. They have house made desserts. We also tried Krack korn dip with tortilla chips. Think gourmet queso was sooooo good.

So if you're trying to eat healthy I'd pass. However if you don't mind indulging in crazy portions and fried deliciousness this is the place for you. The place was packed, but service was great. You can tel it's a locals spot. We ordered fried pickles for the table and they were great, they actually tasted like pickles. I got the fried chicken liver special with green beans and potatoes. I think it was around 11.00 and I only ate half, so left overs will be had. My son got the fish sandwich, my mom got the train wreck salad and the two guys got the tenderloin sandwich which was massive and thick. We heard dessert is great here but we were too full.
