Adair Cafe

West Central Illinois is renowned for a regional food favorite, the Breaded Pork Tenderloin sandwich. Though the sandwich has its origins in nearby eastern Iowa, few deliver one better than the village of Adair‘s Adair Cafe. For twenty-five years they also served up this regional delicacy along with other lunch items including some of the most authentic down home country home-cooked specials and farmers breakfasts you’ll find anywhere.

Adair Cafe is a premier stop on our Tenderloin Trail. But be careful, because when this hand pounded, crispy breaded, deep-fried pork delight is served traditionally, with mustard, pickle and onion on a grill-top toasted bun, it just might change your life.
