Small local owned establishment. Minimal food at minimal price. Nice old diner, good, quick "dive"!
Best large tenderloin I have had in a good long while. Got that feel of how restaurants used to be. Amazing service Great local business!! If you are in Kokomo and you like fried tenderloins get here you won't regret.
Best hand pounded breaded tenderloin Manhattan you’ll ever eat! So delicious! Wonderful comfort food! The owners are absolutely great! So much history for a small diner! You can’t go wrong with Artie’s!
First time I tried it today, the burger? fantastic. I have a really small pallet and after learning it's just burgers that are something I can eat? yeah tore it up. staff is nice.
Simply unbelievably good food! Everything is handmade and the quality is so good. It’s a quaint little diner and the staff is so friendly. They might be known for their tenderloins, but I think their cheeseburgers are their best kept secret. Honestly my favorite burger ever.
Delicious grilled tenderloin sandwich with fries. Great value, great good. Warm and friendly service. Will return again to try the breaded tenderloin, which also looked very good.
I love their chicken and noodles. This place new to me first time and I loved it. I must try their biscuits and gravy next
Old diner on the corner of a side street. It's a great little spot for breakfast and lunch, been here since 1938 so something is working right. For me everything was working just right. Hometown small 20 or 30 people max. Tiny menu for breakfast or lunch. Small menu is the trademark of a awesome place. That way they focus on making good food for a few things instead of many mediocre items. We had the tenderloin and fries. Made fresh still less than 5 minutes and we had our food. Crispy and tender pork loin, great sandwich. Prices are fantastic, $14 for 2 sandwiches and 2 fries and a can of soda. Really enjoyed the owner and wife, super friendly and you could tell they liked what they were doing and had a lot of regulars. Will be back next time we come through!
When it comes to local mom and pop diners, there’s no place like Artie’s. They’ve been part of Kokomo for more than 80 years! The food is fresh, delicious, and served surprisingly fast. The owners are so friendly and hardworking. I had the hand breaded tenderloin and fries. There were several tempting daily specials to choose from as well, but when you’re in the mood for an Indiana hand breaded tenderloin nothing else will do. The street parking is limited, but there’s usually plenty of parking in the lot north of the building.
Great food and great service, its a small place but their food will have you coming back for more. They serve breakfast and lunch and they won the 2025 tenderloin flavor of Kokomo award and its well deserved.
