Went here on the recommendation of three locals after working a basketball game. I misheard them at first; I thought they said "Tempe" and we were looking for a Mexican restaurant. Anyhow, we arrived and elected to sit at the bar versus a booth. Took a couple minutes to get noticed and we were asked to sit at the other end of the bar due to some clutter... Prices are very reasonable at this establishment. A flight was $7.50...if you were in WDM or Waukee, you would probably be looking at double that. They also brew their own beer and cider here; I'm not sure why that's not advertised heavier. Its called the "Gamble Block Brewery". I had Fear the Beard, the Baja Lager, the Maple Pumpkin Ale, and a cinnamon apple cider. The Maple pumpkin ale was delicious--the maple definitely hit on the back end. I was not a fan of the cider--they used a rather tart apple. The Fear the Beard (comparable to Blue Moon) and the Baja lager were OK. For food, I had the chicken tender basket with a 1/2 order of Texas Fries. I actually thought the ranch seasoning detracted from this dish--the queso was quite good and the bacon was plentiful. The downside to getting "sampler" versions of items was none of the accompaniments were included. My friend who got a full order of the Texas Fries was given sour cream with his food--mine did not. Also, on the beer sampler fruit wedges are served with the full size versions but not on the flight. The chicken tenders were very good and had the right breading/chicken ratio. The buffalo sauce packed a punch but was not obnoxiously spicy. The ranch that came with it was very good and was clearly made in-house. More of a 3.5 star review. read more

The Tin Pig Tavern - Chicken tenders and 1/2 Texas Fries - American Near Me - Perry, Iowa

Had the mini beer shot, just like the the ones in Cancun. Crab Rangoon with chicken is a great pizza to try.

We used to LOVE the comfort food at Wobbly Boots when it was open in Clive (the old Cheddar's and now a sushi joint...not sure if the sushi spot is open yet or not).... Wobbly Boots closed 3+ years ago. I remember shortly before Wobbly Boots closed they had mentioned possibly opening a sister location in Perry, but I kind of forgot about it. I thought about it again in the last year or so when I started making my own version of a crab rangoon pizza at home. It's been a few months since, but Tin Pig had come back on my radar as that venture. I found Tin Pig online and sure enough the menu looked VERY similar with some of my old favorites. Today we made the drive over on 141 to Perry. We walked in and the feel was very much Wobbly Boots. A counter where staff greeted us up front, low and high tables and chairs, a few booths, and a bar to the Left. Same general motif. Rustic with a lot of wood, advertising pieces.... And the longhorns! TVs over the bar and on pillars down the middle of the dining room. I really didn't need a menu. It was that similar to the one I'd used for years...with a couple omissions but with a couple new additions too. We ordered the catfish BLT ($13), the crab rangoon flatbread ($14), a half order of the Texas fries ($6), a soda ($2.50?), and a water. Service was stellar! From being greeted as we walked in, throughout our visit, to when our payment was taken. Refills were prompt and we were checked on, but not bothered! The one little thing... While it was enough to fill us... The portion sizes are smaller. At least for the entrees we ordered. Granted we are 3+ years down the road and we all know things have changed. Businesses have fought to survive and the cost of everything has gone up. Don't let the mention of smaller portions detract you from making the short drive to Perry. It's worth the trip! But if you remember the truly massive portions served at Wobbly Boots it's something you will want to be aware of. The food tasted great! The catfish was cooked perfectly. The mac n cheese is still second to none! The toppings on the crab rangoon flatbread seemed a little thinner, but it was wonderful too. It was good to revisit this familiar food as my girlfriend and I have some really great memories of Wobbly Boots! https://tinpigtavern.com/ read more

TIN PIG - Perry, IA - THIS PLACE WAS GREAT! We've never been, driven past a few times and it always looked closed, but we were thrilled to find out it is open and delicious! They were great with my service dog, too (although we stayed so long he got a lil tooooo comfortable!). Pretzel Bites: w/ queso: average. Would've preferred other dipping sauces but no biggy. It was still good. Crab Rangoon flatbread: was AWESOME! All the right flavors combined, we ordered this one as a shareable appetizer, and everyone enjoyed it (even the one that assumed he wouldn't). Buffalo chicken wrap: not chintzy at all, this was loaded and delish. More than half the meal came home. Buffalo had a touch of heat and this wrap wasn't soggy, as so many end up becoming. Tenderloin: good gravy this is a large tenderloin! About a minute or two overcooked though, but surprisingly still good! Definitely would have been amazing taken out just a bit sooner. Also came home with half of this beast! Smoked BBQ turkey sandwich w/ house salad: he says it was fantastic, and very juicy. House salad great. Cowboy Cobb salad: too many onions (I like onions but it was overwhelming). I should've scraped some off but didn't. Toppings were great and loved the ranch dressing! Brought most of it home. May add some lettuce so it's not so "oniony" Excellent service! We loved the atmosphere, service, vibe, and can't wait to make our way thru this menu!! -- at Tin Pig Tavern. read more

Cute restaurant. Locally owned. Love the decor and rustic vibe. Service was attentive and conversational. Food was soooo good (I forgot to take a pic of it because I was so hungry). They have everything from pasta, flatbreads, salads, and sandwiches. Had the rib-eye, such good flavor. Sides were mac n cheese, a little too watery for me, and legendary baked beans, sweet and meaty. Will definitely be back! read more

Stopped in this week for dinner on the way through town. I had the southern style pulled pork sandwich. It was delicious. My wife had the grilled cheese with pork, the griller -- she said it was very good as well. We shared the sweet potato fries and coleslaw. Cool place. If you're in town, stop in. Excellent service. read more

Always have had great food and always have had great service. Moderately priced, excellent atmosphere.

Stopped in for lunch. Burger was suggested by the bartender over the tenderloin as real good, tenderloin shown not to be that big for the price. Had the queso burger: open face, sautéed onions and peppers smothered in queso. Queso was okay, but thick and blah, liked the sautéed vegetables though. Got the Mac and cheese which was really good(large shell, cheddar cheese sauce) but portion was smaller than expected for the price point. Owners also have the brewery next door with their beers on tap at the restaurant. Is used for extra seating on weekends I was told. Had a flight, nothing stood out but the stout and marzen were the best. Untappd agrees with my opinion. Ambiance and building I liked, Service was good, also no cc surcharge which is nice. Overall sandwich burger was about $14-15 bucks high is high for this size of town away from the metro. Food: 3 Price: 3 Beer: 2 Service/Restaurant: 5 read more

Stopped in for a late lunch around 1pm on a Friday. Was really shocked on how busy it was. But I guess when the food and staff is great. I decided to go with the hot beef sandwich. This is one of my favorite dishes and I've had plenty of bad dishes and this is why I tend to only eat it at places I've been before. But with the number of ppl in I told myself to go for it. Well I wasn't disappointed not my favorite but definitely in the top 5. Food came out rather quick also, place was clean and would make a nice yo hangout with some friends for drinks. read more

The service is good and it's a very homie feeling. Waiters are mostly teenagers but are respectful and quick. Food is great and seasoned well I love their burgers they are always cooked well but still juicy and flavorful! Vegetables are fresh in the salad and on burgers so huge plus on the regard. Has a great environment but can be a bit loud buy it is a bar so that should be expected. read more

only went before they closed the first time. decent little restaurant though. food is ok

We stayed at Hotel Pattee and The Tin Pig was nearby. It was a beautiful evening and we were able to sit outside. Both the smoked turkey sandwich and cheeseburger were very good as was the service even though they were very busy. The mac & cheese and sweet potato fries were ok. Inside was a typical busy tavern noisier atmosphere. The servers were great. read more

Food was great! I had the breaded tenderloin with Texas fries. The tenderloin was crispy, juicy and delicious. It was also as big as the plate! Texas fries for$2 upgrade was so worth it! Crinkle fries smothered in queso cheese sauce, shredded cheddar, bacon and scallion with a side of sour cream! Spicy , creamy, crispy hot and cool. So good! My husband had the burger. Just like my husband...a great hunk of beef. Juicy blend of brisket and Angus! I know it sounds weird but even the bun was hearty but soft and the pickle was fresh. Ok, now about the service... How many times do you go to restaurants and there are no servers. Nobody goes to work anymore. Not at Tin Pig. Fully staffed, excellent service. Shout out to our server Kaylee K. Attentive to our wants to the point of being psychic, quick service on drinks/ food/ condiments, super awesome!!!! Well worth a 25%tip. "We'll be back. "ThAnk you Arnold s read more
