Stella's Fried Pork Tenderloins – Crispy Midwest-Style Pork Sandwiches in Grand Junction, CO

This gem of a restaurant feels like a little vacation to the Midwest. The fried pork tenderloins are huge and deliciously crispy. The patty melt was great as well. They also offer a small selection of baked goods, smoothies and coffee drinks.

Stella's is fantastic, All the staff were very friendly and professional! I had the fried pork tenderloin sandwich and fries, with a starter of cheese curds, it was delicious! The raspberry dipping sauce for the cheese curds was fantastic as well as the homemade ranch for my fries! I highly recommend them if u haven't been there, they're at 811south 7th st in Grand junction, Colorado. Photo below is only half the sandwich, I hope you're hungry!

Love the new place! From the coffee bar to the dining room everything was done thoughtfully. I like all the Rockwell art. We were there for breakfast 10 ish pretty full dining room. We had pork breakfast sandwich and breakfast club sandwich. Portions were huge of course. The service was attentive nice and friendly. Can't say enough nice things!

Wow! What a great place! They are welcoming and hospitable. The food is excellent and they are extremely accommodating. The food would have been a five star if the potatoes had been cooked a little longer for the potato salad. The potatoes were a little on the hard side so they couldn't absorb all of the flavors. It was hard and heavy. Everything else on our plates was spot on with bold beautiful flavors and prepared to perfection! OH, their House Raspberry sauce is undescribly delicious! It was even good with the french fries! Literally finger looking good! And Adina! What a delightful human. Very good at her job! Thank you! All the staff were friendly and welcoming. The three star rating for atmosphere is just because where we were sitting it was very cold. Every time the door opened we got a breeze at our back. We felt crowded because people waiting for tables were standing right next to us. With a little rearranging, this place has great potential!! If the table below the partial wall was next to the window and the other table moved to the north end of the nook they could be fun or romantic place settings and it could make a better traffic pattern for the employees. Then the quaint little waiting area could be on the south end of the nook near the door and the register which is more efficient and convenient for the host/hostess. Anyway, a couple of ideas to inspire your creativity. I hope you are extremely successful!!! We will be back with all of our friends!

Just fantastic! These guys used to do the massive Tenderloin, IOWA style, out of The Brass Rail across town, along with heavy stick to your ribs seasonal soups and other fare. You can find that and SO much more here at Stella's Breakfast and Lunch. Not to be missed. Highest recommendation

Please do yourself a favor and check this place out! I recently had the pleasure of having lunch at Stella's, and it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish! The atmosphere is welcoming, with a cozy yet vibrant feel, perfect for enjoying a great meal with friends or family. I highly recommend the Hoosier Pork Tenderloin Sandwich—it’s hands down one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The pork was perfectly cooked, juicy, and tender, with just the right amount of seasoning and breading. Paired with fresh toppings and served on a delicious bun, it was the star of the meal. Their sides, which are included when you get the sandwich, all looked great but I went with the green chili and it was dynamite. Bonus points for them as everything is made from scratch AND made with beef tallow rather than seed oils. If you’re a fan of cheese curds, you cannot leave without trying their true Wisconsin cheese curds. They’re crispy on the outside, warm and melty on the inside with the perfect amount of squeak on the teeth—absolutely mouthwatering! Paired with the perfect dipping sauce, it was the perfect appetizer to start the meal. The service was fantastic, and the entire experience was top-notch. I’ll definitely be back to Stella’s for more incredible food!

Such a great place with such a wholesome atmosphere and character. Shout out to Mike, Tyler, Kai’lee, Meg, and other staff for the great hospitality. I felt like I was back in the Midwest. The food was comforting and tasty. I highly recommend ordering the pork tenders. They’re so filling and wonderful! I also ordered a hand crafted pumpkin spice latte that was perfect for this chilly day.

Delicious food. Had avocado toast, granola yogurt. Bold coffee hit the spot. Plenty of parking in their own lot. Great friendly service. We’ll definitely be back. Mark & Pat
