March’s Tenderloin of The Month brings us to Muldoon’s in Carmel. Something tells me that I have had this one before, but I didn’t remember any of the details. Muldoon’s is usually one of the most recommended places to get a tenderloin, so I thought that I would see what the hype is all about.
Muldoon’s is an Irish themed bar. Just because a bar carries Guinness, it surely doesn’t mean that it is an Irish bar. Now, I have never been to Ireland to experience the real deal, but my wife is of Irish decent so I will continue on with my consistent know-it-all attitude.
What I Ate: Breaded tenderloin; served with a choice of sides and I went with chips, $7.95
Served on a toasted sesame seed bun and with a tomato, lettuce, red onion and mayo. At first glance, this tenderloin was huge. I ripped of a piece of the meat and it was juicy and flavorful. The thickness of the tenderloin and the breading-to-meat ratio was perfect. It wasn’t the overly pounded out thin and dry type. Considering the size, I thought that it would be thinner. I would’ve liked a little more lettuce and tomato, but what they gave me did the trick. Chips were straight out of a bag, so I will pick a different side next time.
Would I Buy It Again? Yes and frequently. It was one of the best tenderloins that I have ever had and a fine representation of the Indiana state sandwich. At roughly $8, it is competitively priced and well worth a trip to give it a try. On a number scale, I would give it a 9.5/10, only leaving .5 for anything that I run across that is better, if it exists.
In tenderloins we trust,

I totally agree, I have not yet found a better tenderloin.
have to say, that looks pretty darn good.
This is one I want to try.
They do server a good tenderloin. I go there frequently.
One that might be a close second is Kincaid’s. They had it on their lunch special menu. The breading on it was light, crisp and tasty. It was not as large as the ones from Muldoon’s but still had a good meat to breading ratio.
I remember they used to make these deep fried mozzarella chunks served with some kind of horseradish sauce. Not sure if they are still on the menu but Jesus I still fantasize about them. Not sticks, chunks!
I was looking at their menu and there is some stuff on there that looks pretty good. Also, there are some things on there that look disconnected like Oriental stir fry and some Italian pasta dishes. When I go I think I’ll stick to the hearty pub grub.
My man! Its about time you posted this. I have recommended this highly to many in the past and I don’t think anyone has been disappointed. Try the potato salad next time as your side, its pretty tasty. They don’t give you much but you should be good and full from the tenderloin anyway. Best tenderloin I’ve had in the greater indy area.
Muldoon’s has an awesome tenderloin sand…and the mini tenderloin sand at Muldoon’s is a good option too…to save a few bucks.
I agree with you! It’s a VERY good tenderloin. I’m a hearty eater..and the mini is plenty for me!
I’m about to make that picture my screen saver. Wow!
I work near this place and while their tenderloins are good there is like a cult following of the Buffalo Chicken sandwich. You should give it a try sometime.
Their fish and chips make me weep with joy. One of the only things that I miss about living in Carmel. That and the crazy lady who ate burritos while staring into people’s windows. That is a story for another day though.
