Great place! They were very busy. Friendly waitstaff. My daughter the tenderloin sandwich that was very good. Humongous size!

Never disappoints. Only 1 person in our group finished the Big Tenderloin. Everyone else had the Share a Tenderloin! 1 got the Fish Sandwich, which was also delicious! Great prices and a wonderful selection to choose from on the menu. Not to mention, our waitress was very quick, accommodating, and friendly. Our drinks never went dry and it was a very relaxed atmosphere! Well done! :)

This bar in the small town of London Mills is everything I had heard about. Of course I had to try the tenderloin which they are known for. It was as big as I'd heard, it was not paper thin either. The burgers are large and juicy. We started with the half order of onion rings. A very generous amount and quite tasty. The prices are very reasonable here.

Huge tenderloin, hand-cut fries, fresh fried mushrooms—everything cooked perfectly, with a menu full of favorites from chicken, frog legs and even catfish!

Spoonies is always a favorite. If you are a pork tenderloin connoisseur, You must stop here! We stopped in for lunch on a Friday. I have included pictures of the pork tenderloin and pony shoes we got recently. Fast friendly service. Enough space for a bigger group as well.

We had heard other people rave about the Homemade Tenderloins and we had to go check them out. They were delicious and the Service was great. Well definitely be making the hour drive again. Our total was $34.14

Have heard about the tenderloins and friend wanted to try them. Very good experience. Waitress nice and pleasant. Good atmosphere. Tenderloins were very good. Chicken sandwich very tasty too.

My wife had the chicken wrap. It was very bland. I had the tenderloin. I have to say that I've had tenderloins from all over Illinois. This one was definitely the best that I've ever had. Everything about it was perfect.
