We use the best cut you can get for our tenders. From the outset, 100% all-natural premium tenderloins have been the building block for our entire menu. Our time-tested recipe has become a household favorite, locking in flavor with our southern-style buttermilk marinad, and lightly breaded by hand with every order. We believe there is no substitute for made from scratch and cooked to order.
