Maid-Rite is a well-known chain throughout the Midwest in the states, specifically noted for their juicy sandwiches. The Tender-Loin is made from moist center-cut pork that’s been breaded, seasoned, and fried. “One of my favorite fast foods. Makes me think of how it would have been 50 years ago,” a comment said on Facebook about the Maid-Rite Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches.

Culver’s

Culvers

The Pork Loin Sandwich from Culver’s consists of premium center-cut pork loin that’s seasoned, breaded, and fried then served on a buttery toasted bun. “I liked Culvers,” a commenter said. “The Pork Tenderloin sandwich is one of the best I have ever tasted. The pork is crispy and delicious and it is huge. The pork hangs over the bun just waiting to be tasted. You can request your own sandwich topping and I would recommend mustard, ketchup and pickles. These [toppings] enhance the flavor of the pork,” another said on Tripadvisor.

Sonic

Sonic Drive-In

A few customers mentioned that Sonic is a solid go-to, with comments like “Some of the Sonic drive ins have them,” from one customer, reminding diners that they can go there for a delicious, tender Pork Tenderloin Sandwich. “My go to is the Pork loin with deluxe toppings add cheddar cheese,” a diner said on Reddit.

The upside, you can put as much onions and pickles as you want,” a commenter said. “I do like the pizza here but the pork tenderloin sandwiches are great. They don’t always have them in the case so just call ahead or ask at the counter. They are big so it will be a filling lunch,” a review on Tripadvisor said.
