We received 2 pieces of dark meat - NO breast. and NO cole slaw. I ordered a blackened chicken sandwich with fries. Fries were cold and the "blackened" chicken had no discernible seasoning at all. Luckily we ordered "to go" so the additional condiments (sour cream) that we ordered) as well as additional seasoning for my chicken breast were made palatable. Overall - will not be returning

A nice little venue with a historic bridge out fron where you can walk across the river. There's a nice patio that they have music on. The menu is pure old time bar food. I love it!. We had the clans strips, chicken gizzards, and fries. Everything was delicious and the gizzards were tough like they normally are. They have a nice selection of canned beers and beverages. Nothing over the top, but nice. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the prices are very reasonable. A nice place for a drive and good food.

Small place with a fun painted modern chic. The smell of a smoker greets you when you walk in (yum!). My friend loves to sit at the bar and he also loves to sit on the high seats, I hate that. Some high seats in some restaurants don't have the crossbar (these did) to put your feet up on and some bars don't have a step or rail to put your feet up on - this is one of them - I HATE that. There were two servers behind the bar, both friendly and informative and happy to help with questions or requests. They seemed to be very busy with to go orders. My friend ordered the smoked salmon pizza. He thought the salmon was too lightly smoked. Otherwise it was very good. We both agreed the crust was phenomenal, top 5 we've ever had. I ordered what the cook called a corn pizza. My friend thought mine looked better than his, I agreed. My pizza was outstanding. Spanish chorizo, local corn, scallions, tajín - the tajín was the coup d'état, it turned the pizza from good to great and as mentioned before, the crust was amazing. They have a core 4-5 pizzas then rotate another 3 special pizzas at different intervals. It wasn't really busy in the restaurant but we did wait 30+ minutes for our pizza. 4/5 will for sure return. The wait for the food and the high seats keep this from being 5/5, the taste of the food is for sure 5/5.

Very unique dining establishment set in the rolling farmland of Jones County, Iowa…read more An old barn building has been transformed into a very trendy dining spot, with three levels. It is a rustic setting, but don't think the décor of Cracker Barrel, it is much nicer than that. Try the upper level outdoor deck for a ideal view of the Iowa agricultural heaven. The menu is varied, with something for everyone. Our party had four different entrees, with remarks like 'very good' and 'ok'. French Onion soup was pretty good for starters, made with swiss cheese, my preference is mozzarella, but still tasty. We shared the Pig Sty dessert, which was large enough for 4 to share. Specials on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sunday afternoons. Our server, Jordan, was excellent. Attentive, but not overbearing at all, willing to explain the menu, and give some info on the barn itself. He also answered our question about the upstairs, reservable, Lover's nook, which is quite unique. He also asked how our food was at the end of the meal, and...he actually asked what they could do to make a dish better. That is a plus. Will most likely return to try some of the other dishes, being as it is a very nice pastural drive. If the food can consistently match the atmosphere I could bump up the rating without question.
