I've read through some of these reviews having frequented this spot since a relative of mine lives close. Some of the main points of contention were the tenderloin being too thin, and not seasoned well. Both of these issues are not present when I visit this establishment. This is the best tenderloin you can buy on the south side. The ladies working inside are always sweet and pleasant. The customers stick to themselves, overall this is a must stop if you are in the area.

Inside a small diner housed in a building that likely used to be a Wendy's, you'll find the Edinburgh Diner. The first thing you notice is a faintly aromatic smell of seasonings. The menu is classic diner fare: burgers, wraps, pork tenderloins, fries, onion rings, and similar items. We ordered three pork tenderloin sandwiches for four people, with plenty left over to take home. The tenderloin was pounded extremely thin, lightly breaded, and seasoned with just salt and pepper. While it could use more seasoning, the deluxe sandwich toppings helped compensate. Overall, it was a one-time experience--worth checking off the bucket list, but not necessarily worth repeating.

While back in Indiana, I was searching for one of my childhood favorites. A Big Breaded Tenderloin deluxe. Edinburgh diner did not disappoint. Service was quick and friendly, and that Tenderloin sandwich was spot on.

The breaded pork tenderloin is amazing. It was obviously ginormous! But very good. The onion rings was amazing. Service was on point this is a definite must stop when in Indiana! The building needs some updates. The parking lot is small.

First time trying the diner. Was greeted by a very friendly staff. The diner was clean and the food came out hot and fast. We obviously ended up bringing over half our food home. The menu is priced perfectly.

My wife and I went for lunch at the Edinburgh diner. It was not fancy but very clean and the folks inside were fantastic. They were polite answered all of our questions. We had the breaded pork tenderloin. Oh my we split it and we still couldn't eat it all we will definitely go back and I highly recommend the breaded tenderloin there.

We visited the diner on a Sunday afternoon prior to a trip to the outlet mall in Edinburgh. From the outside, the diner looks like an old RAX because well, it is an old RAX. There is plenty of parking and the parking lot is easy to get in and out of. Upon entering, the process is slightly confusing. behind the old RAX counter is a digital menu board and a cash register that makes it look like you step up and place your order. This is not the process. On the counter, there is a spiral notebook that you write your name in and as tables become open, you are seated by staff. If you have not visited here before, this can be confusing. The diner seats about 50 people so we did not have to wait long. After we sat down, the server brought us two menus that were torn and tattered. This may add to the charm, but also seems a little lazy. The old RAX is painted an off-putting shade of pink and there are multiple pictures hung on the wall that look like they came from the shelf at Goodwill. They are the kind of pictures that Grandma would have on her wall. The atmosphere could definitely use some TLC. I do not think that it takes away from what I am about to say about the tenderloin, but a different color of paint and maybe pictures of old Edinburgh on the wall would be nice. Now, on to the tenderloin. The breaded tenderloin is the reason that we came here. Everything that has been said about the tenderloin is true. We ordered two and knew that we would taking home leftovers, so we actually brought a cooler in our car. The tenderloin is 16oz. The breading has an extra spice in it or something that is a nice touch that gives it a unique and very pleasant taste. We got pickles on the side and didn't know until we got our bill that pickles are 25 cents. Considering the tenderloin is only $9.99, a charge for pickles is okay. I ordered fries just because and I could have done without them. I did not have enough room in by stomach for the fries! The tenderloin here is easily in my top five that I have had in Indiana. (D & N Diner Lafayette, Shore Line Brewery Michigan City, Riverside Monticello, DT Lafayette). The size and price are fantast, but it is actually a good thin tenderloin. The four stars is only because of the atmosphere. The tenderloin is definitely a five-star loin. We will definitely be back when we visit the outlet mall or are just passing by on I-65. If you are heading up from the South, it is an easy trip on US.31 and from the North, it is not located too far off the Interstate.

Here we are, another review about the Edinburgh Diner with the sole motivating factor being their Pork Tenderloin Sandwich. All I have to say about that is, I get it now. The ridiculous portion, bang for you buck, and overall taste lives up to the hype. For the current cost of $9.99 you can get this bad boy, breaded and seasoned nicely, fried to perfection, and the pork tenderloin actually has some meat to it which I personally appreciate. Don't expect much from the ambiance or atmosphere. I'm pretty sure it used to be a fast food joint previously, but go for that classic mom and pop diner vibes. Even though they have a limited menu - I imagine like their pork tenderloin everything is quality. I went at an off hour on a Saturday around 3:30 p.m., and we were able to get a table no problem. Mind you it was full when we got there, and there isn't a ton of seating so I imagine any meal time you'll have to wait for a table. Do it for the Pork Tenderloin. You know I'll be back.
