When it comes to Kansas comfort food, there is nothing quite as filling, hearty, and tasty as a juicy slab of pork. Fortunately, every corner of the Sunflower State offers this taste bud pleasing dish, including these 9 downright delicious restaurants that prove we know a thing or two about pork tenderloin:
1. Christy's Tasty Queen (Kansas City)
You know we couldn't begin this list without mentioning Christy's Tasty Queen; a 50+ year old Kansas City icon that serves not only "KC's Best Tenderloin," but also KC's biggest! (I mean, are you seeing this delicious beast?)
2. Beethoven's #9 (Paola)
Editor's Note: As of July 2020, Beethoven's #9 has permanently closed.
When a pork tenderloin is lightly breaded and fried, it is considered to be what the German's call "schnitzel" - and Beethoven's has seven different varieties PLUS unique Schnitzel Fingers.
3. Crazy R's Bar & Grill (Goodland)
Western Kansans know that there is nothing quite as satisfying as a hand-breaded pork tenderloin sandwich, crinkle cut fries, and cold beer from the down home Crazy R's Bar & Grill!
4. Ty's Diner (Wichita)
Since the early 1950s, this Wichita institution has been serving up their famous pork tenderloin to hungry and loyal lunch patrons.
5. Gella's Diner & Lb. Brewing Co. (Hays)
Want to know what goes best with one of Gella's legendary brews? A Schnitzelwich (Pork tenderloin breaded, fried and served with lettuce, tomatoes and Gella’s creamy bacon horseradish sauce on a telera bun), of course!
6. Oliver's Beef & Brew (Hutchinson)
Oliver's Beef & Brew is permanently closed.
