Social's Cafe in Swayzee, Indiana: Pork Tenderloin Sandwich

Social’s Cafe in Swayzee, Indiana: Pork Tenderloin Sandwich

Traveling solo, I had waited to stop for lunch for hours. I figured I would know the place when I saw it. And I did. I quickly popped into Social’s Cafe in Swayzee, Indiana for lunch.

This mom and pop restaurant was exactly what I needed. I could tell it was the kind of place I was looking for when I stepped in and overheard the server chit-chatting with a patron about the latest town news.

Folks were talking across tables to each other. When someone would enter the Grant County restaurant, the server greeted them by name, asked about their family, and usually already knew what they wanted. Now that’s great small town service. It had such a friendly feel to it.

There was lots of chit-chat even across tables. I just love that, don’t you? Locals know each other and seek out each other’s company, sharing a bit of gossip besides. It was such a fun atmosphere to be a part of, especially since I dined alone. I didn’t feel like I was alone, you know what I mean? It still felt like I was a part of something. I suppose that is where the name “Social’s” came from.

As to the food? Well, let’s just say that as soon as I saw that there was a hand-breaded pork tenderloin sandwich on the menu, I couldn’t even consider anything else. I owe it to you guys to tell you all about the best of the best sandwiches. Yes, this one was perfect.

My pork tenderloin sandwich was fantastic. As you can see, it was a large sandwich. Topped with lettuce and tomato, it definitely didn’t fit the bun. There was plenty of juicy, delicious overhang. I couldn’t finish my sandwich so I brought the rest back home with me.

Want to know what else was awesome? The fries! These weren’t just any fries, these were sweet potato fries. Mmm! The dusting of powdered sugar on top made them extra delicious. I hardly knew where to start first: my sandwich or my sweet potato fries.
