"Pork tenderloin sandwiches are a staple at many diners in Iowa, where the meat is pounded thin, typically making it far larger than the bun, and fried in breadcrumbs. (There’s even an Iowa Tenderloin Trail if you’re feeling ambitious.) Goldie’s, about 30 minutes east of the metro, is home to a terrific example, alongside burgers featuring locally sourced Iowa beef. No trip is complete without the signature Twister milkshake." - Karla Walsh

What a unique place. Home town vibes with great food and staff. Tenderloins were enjoyed by many friends, and I, along with others, found the salads delicious . The ice cream was over the top yummy. We will be back again.

3rd time here, wish I lived closer. Still in mt top 3 BPT's all time. Can't choose between the 3, whichever 1 I happen to be at. Emma was a great waitress

Took a nice drive to Goldie's today and had an excellent lunch. We had the Mingo Special (tenderloin and hot sausage) and a sausage sandwich, with a side of delicious onion rings. Treated ourselves to a pint of chocolate soft seve and a swirl cone. Goldie's is relaxing and the food is great. Good place for visitors to observe Iowans in their natural habitat.

BPT and onion rings were fantastic. I cut enough off my tenderloin to have another meal at home. The place is small but the service is fast.

If you are in Pella Iowa and are looking for a breaded fried pork loin look no further! This 16" monstrosity can come with all the fixins, ketchup, mustard, red onion and pickles, and is perfectly placed between two tiny white bread burger buns. It only hangs out about 15 inches, which makes it perfect to handle. If your cholesterol level is still too low, order some additional fried foods! They have healthy options such as fried cauliflower, green beans, pickles, banana peppers, and other heart attack inducing ones such as cheese curds and regular cheese. Desserts are plentiful with many options. Very cute, very friendly workers, plenty of seating,

I've been to Goldie's before, so we knew we were in for a good meal, we sat outside with our dog. Service was very quick, they ran our malts out to our table first, made with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup instead of cheating and using chocolate ice cream. Outstanding. Tenderloin was spot on, RED onions, (nice) chicken strips, cauliflower, were great, and the onion rings among the best ever! Dog got some ice cream, met some nice folks, everyone we talked to was very pleased with the food and great service. Always a great stop.

Have stopped in a few times after visiting Neal Smith Refuge, and excellent every time. Perfect thickness on the pork tenderloin and love the crust, I think it's cracker crumbs. Crinkle cut fries were the perfect crispy kind I love and onion rings are fantastic too. They all came with a great ranch for dipping, but all I needed was a bit of salt for the onion rings, don't need add any flavor to perfection! Heated up half the tenderloin next day in air fryer and, just as good!

First time ever at Goldie’s was a great experience. Loved the huge tenderloin that can feed two people. We also enjoyed the loaded fries and cheese curds as sides. We finished the meal with a delicious peanut butter twister which was loaded with peanut butter cups and butter finger. The staff was super friendly and the atmosphere was classic. This is a must stop!
