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 marinade, and lightly breaded by hand with every order.
Store #1 opened in Fayetteville, Arkansas on February 17, 2003.
