Since Patrick left this part of Hy Vee, the beer selection is very basic and doesn't really change often. I am also unconvinced that the beer being served is the beer that is offered. This amber tastes a lot like an IPA. We have returned frequently hoping it gets better but it doesn't. Food selection is slim and not in the least bit Vegan or even vegetarian friendly. Additionally staff never seems to pick up on this. "I would like the impossible burger and sweet potato tots." "Oh, we don't have any of that." "OK, I will have side salad with ranch dressing and tater tots." They serve the side salad with cheese & bacon and ask, "do you want dressing?" This place is ok only if you are starving and or unwilling to drive further. Newton is a desert to dining and you take what you can get.

My wife and I came in tonight to give it a try since the change in concept for this building…read more Positives: The food was delicious, I had the chopped salad, my wife had the Cobb salad with shrimp and we got some riblets. Negatives: Almost everything else. I hope the owner sees this and is able to regain control of the restaurant before the staff completely ruins their investment. We arrived around 7:30 on a Monday night. We came in to a sign that said Please Wait to be Seated. We stood at the entrance for a bit, but the one employee we did see avoided eye contact and didn't acknowledge us. We did see someone in the bar area, so we decided to come in and sit at the bar. Some ambiance notes: No music was playing so all conversations and noises were intrusive into our dining experience . The multiple tvs were tuned to mostly regular tv shows with no captions. One tv was playing the bachelorette at a volume that made it so we heard every s and p that was said and about nothing else. No sports were on. The lights were as bright as a retail store. I told my wife it felt like we were eating in a Target. The worst part by far was the table of servers that were sitting in uniform drinking. On duty staff was hanging out at that table as well. Conversations revolved around getting drunk. How much money they didn't make, what guests were annoying, etc. The manager (I think off duty), was sitting at the bar involved in a drama filled FaceTime session with the volume up. Now I know all about her childcare issues. She also was bad mouthing the restaurant to her friend. Service was impacted by the amount of time the bartender spent interacting with the employee table. Quick note, one of the servers that was drinking was messing around with an order on the Toast POS handheld and the bartender was yelling across the room to cut it out and exit out of the order he had pulled up. We had almost no interaction from the bartender. She asked if we needed boxes while we were still in the middle of eating our meal. When we were ready to go it took some effort to get our check, because she was hanging out at the employee table. The whole experience made it likely that we won't return, although we would consider getting food to go. What really needs to happen is a culture change with your staff before it's too late, probably involving some personnel changes including the manager. Right now the foxes are running the hen house. If things don't change soon, I would set the over/under for going out of business at 6 months.

When we got to the window, the white lady was very annoyed with our order, constantly saying "oh my goddd!" and sighing very loudly. After they gave us 13 out of the 18 ice creams with no carriers or lids for the ice creams, the black lady closes the window and starts taking another order while we were still at the window, waiting for the rest of our order. After the lady takes the other order, she opens the window again so I ask for a receipt for the order since we didn't get all of our order. She continues to say no because she already took the order behind us and they can't go back to get the receipt. Mind you they only gave us 13 out of the 18 blizzards while charging us for all 18 and now they aren't letting us get the receipt to check if we got all of our blizzards that we paid for. Overall, very rude, very impatient, DO NOT GO HERE. UPDATE: We talked to them the next day and got a partial refund on our order. The guy we talked to was very nice and understanding.

The emplyee we dealt with was atrociously rude. We went inside to complain, only to find out she's Katie, the manager of the store... this is why they don't deserve $15/hr. She's going to single-handedly kill this store. Keep on driving, find ANYTHING other than this place. read more

Is this absolutely MY best (aka favorite) burger...? Is it the best burger I've personally had in…read moreIowa...? Probably not. BUT it is the best burger I've ever had out of a gas station in Iowa...! Actually... I'm not exactly sure which way this place actually goes... Is this a gas station that sells food... Or a restaurant that sells gas? Potato...potatoe! Lol And it IS a very good burger overall too...! But not only do they serve burgers... They have other menu selections... Mostly all deep fried and grill options... And ice cream! I've seen signs for Iowa's Best Burger Cafe for years while running back and forth on I-80 from the Des Moines metro... Kellogg is about halfway between Newton and Grinnell. We've never stopped here until this past weekend when we were on our way home from the What Cheer IA flea market... Iowa's Best Burger Cafe is just off the highway... The first thing I noticed as the GPS said our route was about to end... It looked like it ended at an Amoco gas station... Huh? And then I noticed the signage for the Iowa's Best Burger Cafe on the building... Oh... So we're here...? Not exactly what I expected..., but I eat at food trucks too so it wasn't going to stop me. I did glance at my girlfriend to see if I could tell whether she was feeling it or not... I think she was just really hungry at that point and didn't really care. Lol There's ample parking. As you enter the building it kind of looks like a standard gas station convenience store...until you turn and look to your Right. Red plastic booth seating. There are two counters and a case that sit adjacent to one another. The counter you order at also displays the ice cream. There's a case displaying some ready to eat options. The register is on a shorter counter closest to the entrance. It's an open kitchen. There is also another small room of seating further to the left as you face the counters. The tables are kind of faux marble. Napkins, salt, pepper, ketchup, and mustard are available in each booth. We were greeted as we walked and I let them know it was our first time there and we didn't know the drill. They let us know you order standing there at the counter. Take a seat. They bring the food out to you when it's ready. You pay at the register when you are done. Cash or card...and there is an ATM on site. They bus your table. There are a couple of menu placards on the counter where you place your order... The 16 flavors of ice cream selection are plainly labeled. The two ladies behind the counter were very helpful and were both personable! We ordered: 2x half pound burger combos (one with cheese, bacon, onions and pickles and one with cheese, onions, pickles, mayo, and lettuce) 1x upgraded side to garlic mushrooms 1x upgraded side to onion rings 2x fountain drinks (Coke products...comes with combo) 1x mozarella sticks 1x two scoop bowl of ice cream 1x single cone of ice cream The wait for food wasn't long. Everything was served hot and fresh! They'd asked us if we wanted ranch... My girlfriend always wants ranch! Not only did they bring us ranch... They brought us a HUGE squeeze bottle of ranch! This is how every restaurant should bring you ranch! While we dined in (as did a couple of other customers) most of the business appeared to be take out. One pro tip... The standard half pound burger comes with two patties. I heard a customer ask a guy, at the booth next to her, how many patties he had on his burger... Huh? He had four patties on his burger... A full pounder! So there has to be a way to add an additonal patty (or patties) too... If you want a bigger burger... Ask...! The bathrooms...not horrible. The food was all great. Good service. No complaints. I wouldn't hesitate to stop in here again! And I know what to expect next time...!

Brick Street Café is easy to find. It's nestled inside of the Fareway store. Just to the left as you enter. Parking is normal for a grocery store. So no issues there... They also offer a drive-through. It's seat yourself. The seating is a combination of low top tables and chairs and booths. There are a few counter seats as well. The menu is surprisingly large. I know they won Iowa's best tenderloin in 2014...and I hadn't been here yet.... That made my decision on what to order really easy. I upgraded to a premium side of fried mushrooms. For a drink, I went with the unsweetened iced tea. Staci was my server and she did phenomenal. I had a short wait for my food. It came to the table, piping hot. Much to my chagrin there was lettuce and tomato on my tenderloin... But like any good GenXer I fixed it myself and didn't say a word. It's definitely a quality tenderloin. Nice and thick. But not too thick. A very consistent breading. They did a nice job tenderizing it. There were no tough spots at all and it just kind of breaks away when you take a bite. The mushrooms were obviously fresh out of the fryer. I've got the second-degree burns to prove it. Lol I'm okay with that because I sure don't want them cold. Everything was cooked perfectly. Service was wonderful. It's order and pay with your server at the table. I'd put the tenderloin on par with the one at the Dexfield Diner or B&B. https://www.facebook.com/share/18oQ84LDNk/?mibextid=wwXIfr https://thebrickstreetcafe.com/
