Service was terrible, sorry shes having a bad day but treating customers like a problem and having and attitude isnt going to help. Burgers very mediocre, preformed frozen dried out hockey pucks like other lower quality food places. Black raspberry ice cream was great, the only bright spot to the visit. Regardless of how good the ice cream was it doesn't make up for poor service and mediocre food. read more

This is the best small town ice cream shop the world has ever seen. The food was excellent, though I have to say the ice cream was the best. All of the workers are very kind and provided us with great service and help whenever we needed it. The building itself also gives off an incredible vibe with a counter to order from and some seating. The locals all love it and we come multiple times every time we are seeing family in Keo. read more

wait time for takeout: 50 minutes what was ordered: a cheeseburger the food was good for this sort of shop, the buns were deliciously toasted, but it's not 50-minutes-wait-outside good read more

We shared a pizza burger French fries and black raspberry shake...... everything was absolutely delicious. We would definitely go again if we get down in this part of the state again! read more

A whole lot of food- local spot everyone remembers- soft ones a mile high- iowa 100%!!

Ice cream - went for the cones in vanilla, chocolate and black raspberry - all solid. Hamburger - good Grilled cheese good Solid but nothing special! read more

recommend to us by our airbnb host. DELICIOUS burgers. I got the patty melt. it was so crispy, golden,& buttery! read more

See all

Another stop on the way reinforced that Misty's makes great malts. They use plenty of malt powder and add great flavorings. Ms T had the usual Hot Fudge and I had Butterscotch. They were great and the small is plenty, although Ms T may disagree with me on that. I tried another loose beef sandwich and it was pretty much as I recalled although I did not detect as much sweetness. I really would like to see the meat seasoned a little more. It does have onion cooked in and the meat is dead tender. This is always a good place to stop for some Iowa traditions and road food. read more

Best food brunch and ice cream definitely should visit if your in Keosaqua IA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great small town ice cream show with delicious soft serve and shakes. Definitely a must stop.

Though it's small, cramped and feels a little dirty and cheap, it's totally worth a stop if you happen to be out in the middle of nowhere. Might even be worth going 20 or 30 miles out of your way. In short, it's a great little dive in a tiny town. My party ordered a Reuben, a cheeseburger and two tenderloins before indulging on some raspberry ice cream. The food took a long time to get to us and the girl taking the order seemed like she was ready to get home after a long day at work, but it was totally worth the wait. What came to me was of the best Reubens I've had, crispy, juicy with an excellent mix of sauce and sauerkraut. My wife's breaded tenderloin was just what you want in central Iowa, way too big for the bun and super crispy, though it could have used more mustard. The grilled tenderloin was also good, but it didn't compare to what we had. None cost more than $6. It was also timed well so our fries were crispy and hot. Beware with the ice cream. The "baby" size is what most places call an adult medium, and the medium is ridiculous. I don't even want to know what the large is! They could really use better supplies for table service. We went through about 30 napkins, the Styrofoam plates were tiny and their trash can overflowed. And if you're not from around there, you definitely feel it. But I would crawl through a garbage dump to have that Reuben again. read more

Misty's Malt Shop - You can tell it's been around for decades. My wife ate here when she was a young girl more than 30 years ago. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Keosauqua, Iowa

The line moved quick and the burgers were great. Blueberry ice cream not to be missed. Neat spot right by the river.

Great place with inexpensive made to order food. You can eat and order inside or out. We had the Reuben sandwiches fries and onion rings. The fries and onion rings were crisp and hot. The ice cream was generous and good. We had a chocolate shake and a hot fudge sundae with the black raspberry ice cream and nuts and whipped cream. Very good. Great friendly service and a nice small town vibe with neighbors visiting. We'd be regulars if we lived in town! read more

Tasty treats, larger menu than just malts and shakes (even tho I had the milkshake). Quenched the thirst on a hot day.

Order a chocolate malt. Bypass the food unless you are really hungry. It is greasy mediocre foo. The cheeseburger I had here reminded me of McDonald's type quality. But the chocolate malt - the world's best is located in the middle of nowhere, Iowa. Look over at the park - see that rocket looking equipment for kids? I guarantee you every person who grew up in SE Iowa remembers that rocket. It looks like now they have some new fancy equipment that the children enjoy, but I still get excited to see the rocket. Want a nearby hike to burn off your malt? Head over to Lake Lacey State Park and take the trails at Ely Ford crossing. Head to the left to see the old burial mounds (no signage, but they're there). Head to the right for a super cool hike in the woods! read more

Great chocolate malts! Pork tenderloin sandwich is huge and very good. Loose meat sandwich (even with the small amount of cheese) not so much. Really not much taste-no discernible seasonings or onions, which would definitely help. Service is friendly and courteous, but very slow. We would return another time We are in the area and try something else. read more

Misty's Malt Shop - Loose meat sandwich with homemade chips. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Keosauqua, Iowa

Best ice cream. Ever. And you get SO MUCH of it for such a small price! They have lunch specials every day that always come with bread and butter. Their breakfast is amazing too! read more

This was the neatest place. Stopped here after eating at First St Grille. Had an outside window to order that my kids thought was so cool. Picnic benches on the patio. Can also order from inside where they have seating (and air conditioning lol). Malts were great and they serve food as well. Cute little stop on the corner. read more

Small town comfort and tasty food. Great value for the amount of food; a dollar for a huge, huge ice cream cone.

We love Misty's great food, delicious ice cream! You cannot go wrong! And we live downtown, so we really appreciate to short walk to get food!!! read more

Everything at Misty's is great!! Tatwr Tots, burgers, milkshakes, and everything in between.

Great ice cream shop food and ice cream too. Huge tenderloins. Great location near the river with a park across the street.

The food here is good and they have the best ice cream around by far. Situated by the local park along the river it's a great place to get ice cream with the family and let the kids play at the playground while relaxing watching the river. read more

I'm rating Misty's strictly on the ice cream and malts, because that is what we usually get. Misty's butterscotch malt is my favorite thing on the menu. Summertime calls for the GIGANTIC black raspberry soft serve cones. For the small price, the serving is huge. Also, if you want a good grease fix, their chili cheese fries are pretty gooey and awesome. read more

This is a really good place to get breakfast. Also try the ice cream especially the black raspberry.

Food is great! I highly recommend the tenderloin, it's delicious and huge! The ice cream is to die for! So many options and they will mix any of the flavors together if you want. Try a peanut butter banana shake, you'll fall in love! Prices are great as well. I've become a regular customer read more

For what it is, which is a small town ice cream shop and semi-cafe I would say its the best around. My favorite is the fried pickles, actually waiting on an order right now :). Not a big ice cream fan but they do have great ice cream. Out of the multiple options available in town I choose Misty's every time! read more

We were pretty much disappointed. the caramel milkshake tasted more like a vanilla. No Rich sweet caramel flavor. The tenderloin was big with my husband and I splitting one of them. It was tender but it tasted like the grease was slightly old. The service was not bad. However I never once saw the girl that was waiting on people smile at anyone. read more

Pretty much any malt or ice cream you get will be amazing! Their ice cream is some of the creamiest I've ever had. The food is good too, but I mostly just go for the ice cream! Definitely 5 stars! read more
