Only a true Midwesterner understands that a tenderloin is something special. For the biggest and best tenderloin sandwich in Illinois, you need to visit a small riverside town in the central region of the state.
Second only to bacon when it comes to pork, you have to try the delicious tenderloin. Keep scrolling for more details.
You may never have heard of the small town of London Mills. It's located right along the Spoon River, just south of Galesburg and about 37 miles west of Peoria. There you'll find Spoonies Bar & Grill serving up hearty potions of Midwest comfort food.
Hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Sunday hours are shortened an hour on each end, and the restaurant is closed on Mondays.
That means there are only six days out of the week that you can get the best tenderloin sandwich in Illinois. This mammoth meal is certainly bigger than your head and takes some skill to figure out how to eat. Good luck.
Spoonies is popular for many other heaping plates as well. Start your meal with onion haystacks, waffle fries, or hot wings, and if you're not interested in the tenderloin, try the fried fish, gizzards, liver, burgers, wraps, or salads.
This bar and grill is a great place to stop in after work for a drink or to bring the whole family for dinner. You never know what fun events might be happening.
