Kettle Top brewhouse is located in downtown Anderson, Indiana. Located in what I believe is an old bank building, it’s got a very interesting vibe inside.



During these days of Covid-19, we are choosing not to do any inside dining, instead, confining our business to restaurants that have patios.

They’ve got a small menu, with frequent specials that they post on social media. The regular menu has a few sandwiches and wings, a pretty typical pub/bar menu, with a couple of more upscale choices here and there.

I knew going in that I wanted to try their breaded tenderloin.





I’ll be honest, at first glance, I thought it was a fritter, but upon removing the bun, it’s obvious it’s not. It’s a solid piece of meat with a nice, crispy breading. The meat was not as moist or tender as some I’d tried, but it wasn’t necessarily BAD. The breading had a really nice texture, but I do think it could have stood a bit more seasoning. With that, and perhaps a better piece of meat, it could’ve been a great sandwich. As it was, it was a good sandwich, but no better than many others in the area.



The house made chips were the highlight of my meal. Perfectly done, these are among the best house made chips I’ve ever had.



For her dinner, Holly chose the smoked chicken quesadilla, and said it was fantastic! She said that she would not hesitate to order it again.

In the interest of fairness, I must point out what was an issue for us with our visit. Although they require customers to wear masks when entering the building, none of the employees, either servers, or folks coming in and out of the kitchen, were wearing masks. Based on that, I don’t anticipate a return visit in the current environment. Regardless of how you feel about a mask mandate my personal feeling is either enforce it for everyone, or don’t enforce it at all.

I was unable to find a website for Kettle Top, but they do have a Facebook page. They’re located at 1213 Meridian Street in Anderson, IN
