When you walk into Sahm's Restaurant & Bar on Allisonville Road, you're stepping into nearly four decades of Fishers history. Long before the city became known for its tech companies and planned communities, Sahm's was already serving families, building relationships one meal at a time.
A Fishers Restaurant Tradition Since 1986
Sahm's represents the best of Indiana's family restaurant tradition. In 1986, when Fishers was still finding its identity as an independent community, this locally owned restaurant planted roots that have only grown stronger. While chain restaurants come and go, Sahm's has remained constant—a place where servers remember your usual order and three generations of families celebrate milestones together.
The restaurant's commitment to fresh, locally sourced ingredients reflects Indiana's agricultural heritage. In a world of mass-produced food, Sahm's maintains the Hoosier value of quality ingredients prepared with care. It's the kind of place that makes you proud to call Indiana home.
The Coffee Cake That Made Them Famous
You can't talk about Sahm's without mentioning their legendary coffee cake. For almost 40 years, this cinnamon pecan masterpiece has been made fresh daily in their own Fishers bakery using the original family recipe. The cake isn't just dessert—it's edible nostalgia that captures the essence of Indiana comfort food.
The beauty of Sahm's coffee cake lies in its availability. No advance ordering, no special occasions required. Just walk in any day and take home a piece of Fishers history. It's the kind of thoughtful convenience that defines good Hoosier hospitality—always ready to make your day a little sweeter.

Tenderloin Monday: A Weekly Tradition
Indiana takes its pork tenderloins seriously, and Sahm's delivers with their famous Tenderloin Monday special. Every Monday, you can enjoy their hand-breaded tenderloin with a side for just $10—a deal that brings regulars back week after week.
The tenderloin at Sahm's represents everything great about Indiana comfort food: generous portions, quality preparation, and prices that respect working families' budgets. It's not just a meal; it's a weekly tradition that brings the community together.
Note from the Get Indiana team: Our own Robert swears by Tenderloin Tuesdays, but we had to break it to him that Sahm's does theirs on Mondays. Guess he'll have to adjust his weekly schedule—or just eat tenderloins twice a week. We won't judge.

Classic American Comfort at Its Best
Sahm's menu celebrates the kind of comfort food that made American dining great. Their BLT showcases simple ingredients prepared perfectly—crispy bacon, fresh lettuce and tomato, and quality bread that doesn't compete with the star ingredients. The meatloaf sandwich brings back memories of home cooking, elevated with restaurant-quality preparation.
This isn't trendy food chasing social media fame. It's the reliable, satisfying cuisine that feeds families and creates lasting memories. Every dish reflects the restaurant's commitment to doing classic American food right.
Family Dining Meets Adult Relaxation
Sahm's thoughtful layout serves different needs within one location. The main dining area welcomes families with kids, creating a comfortable atmosphere where parents can actually enjoy their meal. Meanwhile, the Flying Horse Pub offers a 21+ space for adults seeking a more relaxed bar environment.
This dual approach shows Sahm's understanding of their community. Sometimes you need family-friendly dining; other times you want an adult atmosphere. Rather than forcing one size fits all, Sahm's provides both experiences under one roof.
Fresh and Local: Values That Matter
In an era of processed everything, Sahm's commitment to fresh, locally sourced ingredients stands out. This isn't just marketing speak—it's a reflection of Indiana values that prioritize quality and community support. When you choose local ingredients, you're supporting Indiana farmers and ensuring fresher flavors on your plate.
The restaurant's nearly four-decade commitment to these principles proves their authenticity. Long before "farm to table" became trendy, Sahm's was quietly doing the work of supporting local agriculture and serving fresher food.
Planning Your Sahm's Experience
Located at 11505 Allisonville Road, Sahm's offers convenient access whether you're exploring Fishers or live nearby. Their hours accommodate both lunch and dinner crowds: Sunday 11 AM–8 PM, Monday–Thursday 11 AM–9 PM, and Friday–Saturday 11 AM–10 PM.
Don't leave without trying the coffee cake, it's a Fishers tradition. And if you're visiting on Monday, the tenderloin special offers unbeatable value that showcases why this restaurant has thrived for nearly 40 years.
Sahm's Restaurant & Bar proves that the best dining experiences often come from the most authentic places. In a world of corporate chains and fleeting trends, this family-owned Fishers institution reminds us why supporting local restaurants matters. Great food, fair prices, and genuine care for customers never go out of style.
