I have never had the tenderloin but I can attest to Catfish Lakes having great food and huge portions. It is a little hard to find the first time, but since I only live 5-10 min away, this is one of our local go to spots. Next time I will have to try it.

By the way, their prices are amazing for the portions that you get.

Most of their dinners are under $10 and include 2 sides as well.

I really love their Walleye, and the best thing is, since it is so large you can usually go for just the 1/2 Walleye and still be stuffed.

I haven't had the one at Catfish Lake. We were just there in June, but that's the first time I have been there in probably 15-20 years.

My favorite pork tenderloin is Barret's.

Just had Catfish Lakes tenderloin last night. Probably one of the best I have ever had. Only $5.25 for the sandwich and another $1.95 for fries. Less than $10 for a meal with a drink. Service was a little slow, but they were packed especially for a Sunday night.

My brother ordered the Pork Tenderloin at Winchester's (71st & Q) and it was ginormous. It was close to the size of the plate. Very impressive. He said it was pretty tasty too.

Better hurry up. Rumor is that they're not doing too well and may not be around much longer.
