Occasionally, we stumble upon an amazing hidden gem that we have never caught or seen before. It’s not every day, either, which makes it extra special when it does happen. So, for today, I’d like to tell you all about what might be one of the greatest restaurants in the Hoosier State. As most everyone knows, the officially unofficial state food here is the breaded tenderloin sandwich – the bigger, the better. If you’re especially hungry and find yourself seeking out the biggest tenderloin in Indiana, look no further than the legendary nosh spot known as the Bush Family Restaurant, in Terre Haute. Dining in Indiana is always an honor – especially when dining on our special dish!

Welcome, hungry friends, to Bush Family Restaurant.

Established in 1981, it's been serving up some of Indiana's favorite giant tenderloin sandwiches - ones so large they require two buns!
As soon as you walk in, you get the vibe that this is a mom-and-pop kind of joint, and you'd be correct.

The smell is so amazing as soon as you come through the door that you're sure to want to follow your nose straight to the full menu.
Plenty of items on the menu are absolutely glorious, but it's the giant - and I mean GIANT - tenderloin that takes the cake.

Some cuts are larger than the plates they're served on.

I'm not here to judge... just to report the facts. And the fact is, these enormous, juicy breaded tenderloins are EXACTLY what we mean when we brag about our amazing Hoosier State tenderloins. You can't possibly go wrong with one.
Plus, all you probably NEED is one; they're enormous and sure to fill up even the largest of bellies.
