These restaurants in Kansas serve some of the best pork tenderloins in the state. Have you been to all of them? Well, let's find out. In no particular order, here are nine of the best tenderloins in Kansas.

1. Christy's Tasty Queen - 1405 S 55th St., Kansas City, Kansas

What is probably the biggest (or one of the biggest) pork tenderloins in the state can be found right at Christ's Tasty Queen in Kansas City. It's one of their most popular selling items, filling up large stomachs, or becoming more than one meal just by itself.

2. Emery's Steakhouse - 16 West Peoria, Paola, Kansas

Emery's in Paola serves up a great tenderloin sandwich, paired with hand-cut fries. It's a full meal, if you like to eat, but don't feel bad if the fries don't make it in there after you're done with the sandwich. It's a common thing!

3. Grandma's Soda Shop - 2524 Avenue E, Wilson, Kansas

Grandma's Soda Shop not only has some great soda, but plenty of patrons also grab their version of a pork tenderloin sandwich.

4. Hays House - 112 W Main St., Council Grove, Kansas

Hays House doesn't serve their pork tenderloin on a bun, but some of us don't like the bun anyways. It just leaves more room for mashed potatoes and these grilled onions. Yum!

5. Ladybird Diner - 721 Massachusetts St., Lawrence, Kansas

Ladybird Diner makes all sorts of treats, but one of their famous items is their State Fair pork tenderloin. It comes with pimento cheese and a sweet potato bun for a fun spin on the classic.

6. Oliver's Beef & Brew - 925 E. 30th, Hutchinson, Kansas

This tenderloin sandwich from Oliver's is a great choice for when you want a big sandwich while also leaving room for sides. They don't skimp on pork, either. As long as it sticks outside the bun, it's a good sandwich.

7. Stroud's - 4200 Shawnee Mission Pkwy., Fairway, Kansas

Only available at lunchtime, this pork tenderloin sandwich is a great excuse to go to Stroud's. Of course, if you can bear to skip their fried chicken!

8. Suzie Q's Homestyle Cafe - 6720 Kaw Dr., Kansas City, Kansas

Suzie Q's is an underrated joint in Kansas City that serves up a mean pork tenderloin the simple way. Of course, that doesn't mean they're any less delicious than others.

9. theBarn - 307 W Dean St (Hwy 50), Burrton, Kansas

We all know how well theBarn does chicken fried steak, so we're not surprised how delicious their pork tenderloins are. You've just gotta try them for yourself!
