Casler’s Kitchen and Bar, Fishers, Indiana
Casler’s Kitchen and Bar is one of those places that I had vaguely heard about, but I’m not sure from whom…and I really wasn’t sure where it was located.
We had some errands to run, and were looking for some place for supper, and drove right by it..and decided to turn in.
Part sports bar, part family restaurant, Casler’s has the potential to try to do too many things at once, ultimately failing at all of them…but kudos to Casler’s…they do it and they do it well.
It’s a very comfortable atmosphere, and whether you’re a sports fan, live music fan, or want a nice dinner with your family, you’ll feel welcome here.
I honestly wasn’t sure if they had a breaded tenderloin or not…..but they advertise a hand cut tenderloin on their menu, offering it either breaded or grilled. I chose the breaded…of course. 
It’s a nice sized sandwich, pounded just a little thinner than I prefer, but not paper thin. The meat, while not outstanding in flavor, is certainly above average.
The breading is really good…the texture is a little different than what I’m used to, but I liked it quite a lot. I’m not sure exactly what’s IN the breading, but it works and works well.
They brought the sandwich dressed just as I requested, however….they skimped on the onion. Two little rings. When we say we want onions, we want onions!
The sandwich is served on an egg bun that is really, really good! It’s a different taste/texture than the standard bun, and with this sandwich, it worked very, very well.
I’m giving Casler’s breaded tenderloin a 4 out of 5 bites. It’s not perfect, but it’s well above average and I’ll certainly order it again when I’m there.
As a nice change of pace, they offer tater tots as a side…and, oh my, they were VERY good!
Holly had the steak dinner special…a sirloin steak, grilled veggies, and mashed potatoes for $8.99. She pronounced that dinner “Fantastic”.
Casler’s is located at 11501 Geist Pavilion Drive in Fishers, Indiana. You can find them online at http://www.caslers.com

Have you ever been to the Nickel Plate Bar & Grill in Fishers? I read that they have good tenderloins. I live in NW IN and tenderloins are not available. Our restaurants would serve you a “frozen pork patty”.
We have been to the Nickel Plate…and, truthfully, I found their tenderloin quite disappointing.
cheese melted on top of those tater tots would have made that wonderful! As long as it was real cheese, and not that nacho sauce processed cheese goop that seems to be overtaking the world.
My last tenderloin at the Nickel Plate was bad enough that I wont be ordering it in the immediate future. In the area, IMO the new-ish Chatham Tap has the far better tenderloin.
Will look forward to trying Casler’s one of these days!
We travel to Ohio via Indy – any suggestions for a good breaded tenderloin would be appreciated. Is the Chatham Tap Tom mentioned in the Fishers area? Thanks so much.
Darlene, yes – there are two locations (both locally owned). The first Chatham Tap is on Mass Ave downtown and the one I was referring to is in Fishers (off 116th St where Fionn Macools [sp?] used to be). Check out their menu online, I think it is pretty solid. -Tom
