I live in the Midwest and we have a local diner that serves these, however they are very thin. These sandwiches are fabulous! I always loved the ones from the diner until I tried this recipe. Used cracker meal and Panko for the breading, added some garlic salt. Better than the drive in. Easy and tasty. Can't wain til I make them for dh!

These sandwiches are one of the foods DH and I miss since moving from the midwest almost 12 years ago. Sure has taken me a long time to try and make them at home, but I am glad that I used this recipe. These were a real treat. Like another reviewer, I fried mine in part oil/part butter in my electric skillet set at about 350. We enjoyed these with mustard, onion slices, lettuce and mayonnaise. Simply delicious. Thanks for posting this recipe.

I graduated from High School in 1967 and moved to Pennsylvania, via Chicago. Have not had a fried pork tenderloin sandwich sincs, and yet it was the most looked forward to lunch at school for the week. Have thought about this great sandwich often but could not find a restraunt that ever heard about it. Thanks for the fantastic sandwich, and we are enjoying them like we did as kids. -Brian

Thumbs up from another Indiana girl. Simple, tasty recipe, and easy to make too. The only change I made was to use milk in place of the water, then topped my sandwich with ketchup, mayo and a slice of cheese. I think a bit of lettuce would have made it just absolutely perfect. Thanks for sharing. We'll be making this one again.
