Using local meats, diners choose among the typical Hoosier favorites. There’s the pork tenderloin sandwich, of course, as well as burgers, hot dogs, and pizza. I cannot attest to the goodness of any other products–but I can comment and heartily recommend what we ordered at this White County restaurant.First things first though: what to expect! There’s quite a bit of booth seating inside The Viking! I’ve heard this is a remodel so if you haven’t been around in awhile, you may want to pop in and take a peek. It looks great and was quite clean.
Order up at the counter. Yes, there is a drive-through window, too. Whether you choose to dine in or carry out, you can have a seat until your order is ready. Then, head back to the counter and grab it.

Our oldest loves burgers. My goodness, I think that kid could eat a burger every day and never tire of it! But who am I to talk? This is only my bajillionth pork tenderloin sandwich order and I am still going strong!The youngest got a hot dog. We ordered three things of French fries but if I ordered in, I would get a basket of fries instead. I’m not sure how that works with carryout. Those fries were so crispy and very good.
My tenderloin was nice. I don’t typically order them topped with lettuce, tomato, or onion but on their own these had lots of flavor. In fact, they were memorable enough to order again when I was in the area and hungry a few weeks later!
