Knightstown Cafe in Knightstown, Indiana is one small town diner where everything is homemade!

This Henry County restaurant was so good we couldn’t stop talking about it on the way to our destination.

Have a seat wherever you would like. Check the board on the wall for the day’s specials. Although we had heard that the onion rings are awesome, they were sold out!

So, we settled for homemade chips (our boys) and homemade French fries (for my husband, Jeremy, and I). The youngest wanted a hot dog, the oldest wanted a cheeseburger.

Even with a really nice menu, my husband and I took about two seconds to make up our minds: a pork tenderloin sandwich for me and a Bacon Cheeseburger for him.

I’m smiling just thinking about that Pork Tenderloin Sandwich. It was so incredible! Crispy yet juicy, it was one memorable hand-breaded pork tenderloin sandwich!

The rest of my family chose just as well! The burgers were awesome. Even our youngest’s hot dog looked good.

I could not stay out of my fries–or the boys’ potato chips! Again, the fries were just like what my grandma used to make.  The cook came out to say “hey” and all of us raved about the food!

We would have ordered a hand-dipped milkshake with our meal but at the time we were set on ordering one of their homemade desserts–I counted FOUR pies in the refrigerated case plus a few other items. They are also known for Meemie’s Homemade Fried Apple Sundae (as well as serving regular cherry-topped sundaes). But, we had no idea that our meal would be so filling!
