Tenderloin on highway 34

[Cutlass]

I'm driving across western, central Iowa with the boy today on highway 34. Omaha to Ottumwa. Any of you know of a great tenderloin available from a hole in the wall establishment we could stop at?

My first thought was a tenderloin ON THE Highway! I was going to say: "Don't eat it!"

Do not have an answer for you, but I bet almost any exit will give you an opportunity to find a good one.

3 C's Diner in Corning. The Old Fashioned Bar & Grill in Creston. I haven't eaten at either place, but these topped the list for a guy that travels the state and names the best BPT in each county. Enjoy!

It’s not exactly in the middle of your trip but Smitty’s in Albia is a great spot.

It’s 50 minutes south ottumwa, but mt sterling bar and grill has the best tenderloins in southeast Iowa.

Another place southeast of Ottumwa is Mistys malt shop of Keosauqua is known for its tenderloins.

One of the best hole in the wall bars is a few miles north of Chariton. Small town called Williamson. Known for biggest hamburgers. I’ll bet they have good tenderloins.

People would pay for such a list. I would.

Follow JayJayGallivant on TikTok and/or Instagram or his website is https://theiowagallivant.com/. I should say he features BPT's from all 99 counties, not rank.

3 C’s might be the best tenderloin I’ve ever had. I’ve now eaten there 5 times and it’s always been great. There’s actually another place in Corning called Primrose and it also has an excellent pork tenderloin but all of the other food is also great.

The VFW in town had a pretty good one (30 years ago).

Not a tenderloin but in Ottumwa we usually stop at Mike’s Pizza and Steakhouse.

They make an incredible pizza pie

Is 3C’s still open?

Looks like they had a recent FB post on November 5th. Unless something happened between then and now.
