One of the best, if not The Best, breaded pork tenderloins I’ve ever had! Great breading, tenderloin was just the right thickness, flavorful, served with all the toppings on a brioche bun.
Service was fast and friendly.
Rustic atmosphere with a lot of interesting local memorabilia.
Definitely worth the trip!

Food was very good. Ordered a plain cheeseburger, my go to safe food when trying a new place. Would highly recommend this local restaurant. Service was a little slow. The restaurant was busy and from my understanding low on help. Staff needs to blame being slow on being busy not being short staffed. Customers dont really want to hear it. Will go again. It is a seat yourself resturant. Not a huge place, seating is limited. Variety of food options including gluten free.

I had the dilly burger which was amazing! They provided large portions as a reasonable price. The homemade ranch was very good! My mom had fish tacos which were good too, and dad had a different burger! Bathrooms so close to tables where people were sat was a little strange, but nothing can be done about that. Service was good as well!

Great place not too far from home..we’d been here a time or two before, but it’d been a while.
We stopped by just after the evening rush and got seated in a very short time.
The decor consists of signs from past local businesses all over the walls and ceiling…the Coast-To-Coast sign has a special connection for me as my Grandmother worked there when I was a kid.
We started off with the Loaded Tater Tots that were pretty good but could have been really good had the cheese been melted and the bacon chopped up into smaller pieces…the Tots themselves were done very well.
The star of the dinner was the awesome Pork Tenderloin Sandwich. A crispy yet lightly breaded tenderloin cooked perfectly…it’s disappointing to get overcooked tenderloins as they become very tough…these folks got the timing down! Add on any of the pickles, onions,lettuce, and tomato served alongside to your taste and you’ve got a great sandwich!
We’ll definitely be back again!

I recently ate here with my brother to celebrate my birthday. We both ordered the breaded pork tenderloin with fries and a blackberry old-fashioned. Neither of us could finish more than half of our great tasting sandwiches sandwiches and the old-fashioned cocktail was great.

The wait staff was very friendly and attentive to us throughout the night. We stayed and visited after our meal was complete, and they kept checking on us to see if we needed anything else while we were talking. The owner came out from the kitchen to talk with us because most everyone in this small town knows one another. It’s wonderful to have this restaurant and service within our community! The food was amazing and it really is the best tenderloin around!

Amazing food! We had the tenderloin, boneless wings, patty melt, grilled cheese, Mac n cheese, fries pickles, and cheese curds! Highly recommend! Best patty melt we’ve had, tenderloin was amazing, and my 13yo said best wings ever! My 9yo says best food ever! Kids are the hardest please, but this restaurant did fantastic! We will for sure be back!! Service was amazing as well! 5 stars all around!

My wife and I decided to drive to Grundy Center and try out the Landmark Bistro. We arrived about 2:10 on a Tuesday afternoon. The time is important because they close between 3 and 5. We didn’t know that but they greeted us and served us with a smile ( we never felt rushed). We both had tenderloin sandwiches with fries. The service was great and the food was even better! Everything was fresh and hot and the fries reminded us of how they are served in London. The tenderloin was the best I’ve ever had!!! Absolutely worth a short drive to Grundy Center!

The food was good, but our experience was not so much. We (2) came in at slow time. One person at the bar and a lady at a table. We sat and ordered. The food was delicious but a hundred flies in the windows and on us was very unpleasant.
As we ate, there was a boy set up at one of the customer dine-in tables bagging up frozen food while wearing gloves but eating food, drinking pop and texting on his phone at the same time. Very concerning when thinking about all the coding in place for sanitation and food handling seemingly being thrown out the window.
Also there was the boy, three teenage girls and an adult all up front being very obnoxious with shop talk and teenage attitude.
Overall the food was very good but trying to enjoy it inhouse was very difficult when you have to listen to the constant noise of bickering. We didn’t finished our food before we decided we had enough of it and got the rest to go.
If there was any music playing we couldn’t hear it over them.
We don’t plan to stop there again.

If you’re cruising through Grundy Center or you’re lucky enough to live there, Landmark Café is an absolute must-stop.
First off…. the beer? Ice, ice baby. Its ice Cold. The kind of cold that makes you question every life decision leading up to that glorious first sip. If Antarctica had a taproom, it would be jealous.
Now let’s talk chicken tenders.
Not frozen.
Not “previously frozen.”
Not “flash frozen for your convenience.”
These babies are hand-battered, golden, and so good they should probably come with a warning label for addiction. In today’s world of “press 1 for rehydrated nuggets,” this is a rare find.
And the ranch dressing as a dip.
The ranch was THE BOMB.
I’m talking “where-has-this-been-all-my-life” levels of ranch. Honestly, I’d like to know the secret sauce but that’s another review.
My only suggestion?
Give us a spicy dipping options! Something with a little kick. I love BBQ as much as the next midwesterner, but a man needs options. (Consider it my official plea.)
The server Gracie at the bar seating seemed new, but you could tell she was trying her absolute hardest, hustling with that “I-will-get-this-right-or-die-trying” energy. I respect that.
And the whole staff being led by Ashley, you can tell she is a true leader by the culture built with in the staff enthusiasm to be here?
Urgent to serve, smiling, and genuinely happy to take care of you. That’s rare these days.
Overall:
Cold beer ✔️
Fresh chicken ✔️
Bomb ranch ✔️
Friendly staff ✔️
Worth the stop ✔️✔️✔️
Landmark Café keep doing what you’re doing. I’ll be back, and probably for another round of that ranch.
