They easily did separate checks (mostly couples) . The guacamole, chips & salsa were tasty. The entrees were all good! Seafood enchiladas, carne asada, carnitas & shrimp tacos were favorites. We had a wonderful experience and would come back next time we're in the area.

I was there for the tulip festival this weekend and it was on a Sunday May 3rd at about 12pm so not…read moremany food places were open, so this sweet lady recommended this place to us and we were excited to finally just eat. Right off the bat, it wasn't very welcoming no one was even at the host stand and the manager was just talking to someone at the bar and didn't acknowledge us right away. It was also veryyy empty in there. anyway,, we order from the lunch specials because it's lunch time and MIND U WE ARENT FROM PELLA OR HAVE BEEN TO THIS RESTAURANT so we didn't realize these specials weren't available so when we get our food it's just extremely underwhelming we thought we were getting beans and rice w our quesadilla but nope just a SINGULAR quesadilla with nothing else, also it wasn't even a quesadilla it's a taco as u can see from the picture. I explained to them we wanted beans and rice like the menu item states and he just told me to read the menu. U want me to read the little fine print under the HUGE letter written "LUNCH SPECIALS"?? That was just plain rude. I tried one bite (u can see the bite I took in the picture) and i didn't like it and i already was pretty put off bc it wasn't what i had thought i ordered. So I politely asked them to just take it off the check bc i am not going to eat it. I also just didn't wanna spend any of my money here atp bc of the way we were treated. This grown man started to argue w me telling me i have to pay for it bc of the tiny little bite that i took! I wasn't going to be bullied like this so I stood my ground and he wanted to know why I wasn't going to eat it and I said well it's not rly what I ordered and it doesn't taste good. IT WAS LITERALLY THE SMALLEST AMOUNT OF CHEESE AND WAYYYY TO MUCH CHICKEN that had no flavor and extremely chewy. his response to me not liking it was "oh easy for u to say" and well he's right it was easy for me to say. I have never left a bad review somewhere in my life but I really felt the need to write this all out bc it was so rude and upsetting. And the queso was $10... (u can also see in the photo it's not a large amount of queso) I'm sure there are better workers than the two I experienced but either way this is who they have working there so I highly suggest skipping this place. Our server also couldn't answer anything on his own he has to ask his manager like every single thing? Weird. Oh they did give me the refund but I had to push for it which is RIDICULOUS. Learn how to treat ur customers and train ur employees better!

There's a surprising amount of seating in this restaurant, with plenty of booths, and tables. The service was also very quick - we had our food less than ten minutes after ordering. I went with the country omelette (sans onions), which is generously sized with three eggs, and was chock full of green onions, ham, tomato, mushroom, and cheese on top (fun/different way to do it). Choice of toast, I went with rye, which came out perfectly toasted with plenty of butter on it, and hash browns. Delicious! My husband ordered the special (choice of meat, choice of how your eggs are cooked, toast, and hash browns). Our server was awesome - checked on us multiple times, and was very friendly. We will absolutely come back when in the area again!

The menu on the wall, gone. "We can't do that" "we don't do that" is now the answer to simple requests. Very weird because it used to be a happy and unique experience--been there scores of times and bring guests from outside the region. They still have unique items on their menu but they now seem slapped together. Hope the management can recapture the charm it used to have.

It was a bit busy with all the volleyball players and fans, but the staff pushed through the rush and did it with smiles. I ordered a Sweet Georgia Brown Mocha and it was delicious! It was sweet enough to tame the coffee taste for those of us that like that, and the hint of honey was amazing. With good coffee and a great ambiance outside and inside, Smokey Row Coffee makes for a great pit stop if you're going through or staying in Pella. They also have some great merch for purchase if you want a souvenir.

I dropped a star because the menu has about stayed the same and they were out of one of the chicken dishes and it was only 6 PM. Our birthday gal wanted a simple pasta and they really don't just have that. I had a portobello fries and a hot honey chicken sandwich and both were very good. They were still tasty the next day. Hubby had a pork chop - - and it was delicious just like he remembered. The bread bowl is good and they graciously brought you more. A waitress was good - - she kept the children in the group full of!! It was a nice place to celebrate
