Cannot wait to go back and try the chicken strips! They looked phenomenal! The tenderloin strips were ok.

Chef Z states the protein in this $18 pasta is extra. I had ordered the shrimp and recieved 4 well done shrimp on a skewer apparently at the ADD ON price. I don't recommend getting the pasta nor the protein. Alfredo Pasta without protein is overpriced at $18. 4 (21 -40) dry shrimp for $10 way overpriced. Save your cash and get a burger or go somewhere else. read more

Stopped in for a bite. We ordered the scrumptious mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce! My fiancé and I both sat our hearts on the breaded pork tenderloin. He had fries and I had a salad for my side. I tried the limoncello with blueberries. My drink was perfectly crafted! This is a local scratch kitchen! The meat is locally sourced!! Our waiter Zach was absolutely fabulous! He was super busy but didn't miss a beat! read more

We just had a mothers day lunch at Zs and couldn't be more pleased. We had more show then we were expecting and our waitress AVERY handled it all fantastic. We had a group of 23. Food was fantastic too read more

I have ordered to go many times but this time we ate in. Service was slow but the waitress was nice. We shared wings, tomato basil soup and the drunken piggy. Soup looked like French onion on top and the soup itself was good but very thick. The wings were great by themselves but we asked for the hot sauce and it had ghost pepper which was good but HOT. I really enjoy the drunken piggy without the sauce. They make most things homemade. The peanut butter cup pie was made locally and very good. read more

4.6 A stellar mostly local-ish beer menu and the food is way better than the usual Warren county choices. And, I heard that there is a Redman Inn connection behind the bar and it was at the time the same kind of place. Hitting way above the average, doing a great job. read more

Good fast service and enjoy happy hour drinks. Burger and smothered chicken very good.

Staff great as always, went during the day on Valentines so not extremely busy. Food was great! Wings, chicken parm sandwich and Patty melt. Took half of each home. read more

Last 2 times here out of their smoked pork (a main staple) and this particular Saturday night (8:30pm) they were out of EVERYTHING. All pasta, sweet potato fries, Pepsi(c'mon distributor) chocolate milk for kids, honey mustard, mozzarella sticks and cheese curds and to top it all off..... crayons for the kids menu. And they still have 90 minutes to go. My fear is they are so focused on their breakfast service they are not keeping up with their dinner menu. Along with the hostess' lack of enthusiasm (again) it kind of went from bad to worse. Sorry Wes-this was a MISS. read more

Three stars are for the food. NOT FOR SERVICE. We went thru 4 sets of cutlery until a clean set was finally delivered, which concerned me when our food arrived. The Brussels sprouts were ok; the bacon was not crispy, there was very little parmesan, not much taste. My sister liked the parmesan grilled; she said it was tasty, her words. The chicken wings, per my niece, were dry. read more

Food - I had the chicken marinara sandwich + a baked potato as a side (nice option) and it was good tasting. My wife had a Cuban sandwich. It needed WAY more pickles but was good as well. My daughter had the chicken nachos as main dish and it was larger, tasty and filling. Service - waitress was good. She brought several taste samples to the table and everything was delivered hot and with a smile. Ambiance - is pretty good. A/C worked well. Seating is a bit limited but was pretty open at 5:30. It filled quickly after that (by 6pm it was full). We had a nice dinner. Prices were very normal for the area (A&W would have been a similar bill). It was only 5-7 minutes to the Summer Opera shows at Simpson College so very convenient. read more

Very delicious lunch after a long bike ride! The waiter was friendly and the cheese curds were amazing. read more

Z’s Eatery And Draught Haus - The Hand-breaded cheese curds are amazing! the boneless wings were also really good and my camera shy husband liked the Rachel. - Steakhouses Near Me - Indianola, Iowa

Came here after a disappointing trip to Pleasantville. The food photos on Facebook looked promising! We were greeted and seated right away. Drink orders were taken. I tried a pumpkin spice white Russian that was actually pretty darn good! Definitely a dessert or sipping drink though. My fiance had the drunken piggy, but with a breaded tenderloin rather than a grilled loin. I had the E's 50/50 burger. Both were very flavorful. Mine was topped with onion rings that ended up being cold and the steak fries we got as our sides weren't very warm either. Other than that. The sandwiches had excellent flavor. The special tonight was a parmwsean encrusted new York strip or Riley that looked amazing. May have to come back for one of their specials another night! read more

I have been to Z's several time when I am in town since they opened and have never had any food served to me that wasn't delicious. I tried the Drunken Piggy and it was fantastic! I wanted something different and this fit perfectly. Chef Z even checked on my group to make sure everything tasted good. Thank you for another great meal! read more

Use to be good but not so much Drinks are good but expensive Only one server know Schwab he's doing read more

The. Best. Old fashioneds. Yes, plural, this guy is killing it! Highly recommend the coffee old fashioned, but the maple version is equally outstanding. Get the coffee first. Then the maple. Then do it again... Food is solid across the board, brussel sprouts and Caesar? More please. Sandwiches, burgers, everything crushes it read more

They have good food but they are often out of things. I've been here multiple times on special occasions when I've had to change my order due to their lack of availability. I've also had a mixed experience with service. I'm an occasional customer, not a regular, and I've felt ignored by some servers. For the record, other servers were great and the food is always decent. read more

This place is awesome! I've been here two times this week while visiting family. I've had the chicken sandwich and chicken Cobb salad! Both amazing! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and courteous! They also have a great bar menu and make a delicious old fashioned. Ambiance is lovely and inviting! Very clean restrooms. I will be back again! read more

Second time at Z tried the 50/50 burger. Takes the bacon burger to whole higher level. Mac and cheese was very good. Will recommend read more

We had the fried pickle spears, and the crab fritters for an appetizer. They were delicious and I highly recommend them. Our meals were outstanding as well! The service was quick, accurate, and friendly. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Indianola. read more

Great service and great food tonight. Myah was a terrific server. Bushetta was amazing

Husband just googled restaurants and he found Z's. I had the Ruben and he had the tenderloin. We were both VERY happy with our meals. It is one of the best places we have eaten in a long time. The service was good, and the prices were very reasonable. As cattle farmers, a big plus for us was the locally sourced beef and pork. We will be back!!! read more

Z's serves burgers, sandwiches, steaks, and cocktails with a little extra something that kicks them up a notch. One of my favorites at Z's is the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich. The first time I ordered, I didn't read the description. I thought it was going to be a traditional Chicken Parm. No, this is better. It's a juicy grilled chicken breast topped with thick sliced bacon, melty provolone, sliced tomatoes, pesto, and the bread is coated with Parmesan cheese and grilled. It's not only better than what I thought I was getting, this sandwich is huge. I also ordered a Coffee Old Fashioned with wonderful notes of coffee and chocolate. The Winter Sangria has liquored berries in it. Bethany's Punch is a wonderful, refreshing summer berry cocktail. Be sure to leave room for the homemade from scratch pie!! Indianola is lucky to have Z's. Good food created with pride and reasonably priced - what's not to like? read more

Great selection of on tap beers. The food was great! It took a little while to get it but worth the wait! The cheese curds were amazing and so was the tenderloin. Will definitely be back read more

We are so excited about finding this place! Being from out of town we were surprised to find such great food! Wes the owner was so friendly and shared his story about Z's. The service was friendly and the food so good we came back the next day. Z'a is a hidden gem in this community! read more

Our middle school basketball team was in a tournament in Indianola. Nine hungry kids and a dozen adults needed food and had to be back in time for their next game. We couldn't believe our luck when we were seated in the back room where we received beverages and placed all our orders for the delicious food. Everything was fresh and done just as asked. We were even able to get refills on our drinks. Good food, friendly service, this was a real treat for all of us! read more

This was my first time to Z's and I was really excited for it as my mother had hyped it up saying it was delicious and super fresh. I was sorely disappointed with the experience. We ordered the fried mushrooms because she bragged about how they are made in house. The portion was HUGE which is a plus, but the mushrooms were way underdone and so greasy that I could squeeze them lightly and see grease dripping off. We asked to switch our appetizer to the spinach and artichoke dip which was delicious despite it being under salted. I had the chicken parm with the Caesar salad, both of which were disappointing. The salad was drowning in dressing with two unopened packs of crackers on top because they had run out of croutons. The chicken had NO flavor and the sauce tasted like it came from a Hunts can. The cheese on top was rubbery. The only good thing I can say about it is that the portion was huge and the breading was crispy, but, again, no seasoning. My mother said her burger was over salted to the point she didn't want to eat it. Our server forgot our silverware twice after we had to ask for it as our food arrived. The table we were sat at and the bathroom floor were both sticky. I'm so sad that this was our experience. read more

I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately did not. We started with fried pickle spears, the breading was falling off and the pickles were not cooked enough. I choose the Iowa chop, it was very dry and hard to cut. The side of brussel sprouts were not cooked enough. My Mom ordered the ribeye and it was was good and flavorful but she also got undercooked brussel sprouts. Not sure if I will come again and try something different. But this time definitely does not have me wanting to come back anytime soon. $70 for 2 people for not great food read more

Food was great! I had the 50/50 burger. Gouda Mac was good flavor but really dry. Would recommend this place for sure.

Place is very good,a nice selection of different food items,would of gave a 5 star review except for it still reminds me of cals restaurant when I walk in,but it's a great addition to Indianola read more

Enjoyable lunch! They did a great job although they were short staffed the day we were in. Food was excellent and the restaurant was clean. It is not a huge restaurant by any means. We would return if ever in the area again. read more

Good service, good food, kind of loud in the room we were seated in and MMA on the tv but overall a good meal.

Oh my!!!! Best meal we have had in a long time.... being from the south, Mac and cheese is a staple at any meal, and oh my this Mac and Cheese was amazing!! The Iowa pork chop with bacon bourbon glaze was astounding!!! Thick enough to not be dry, and large enough for my husband and I to share. We love supporting our local businesses!! read more

Painfully slow. Never got my food. I paid for drinks and appetizer and left. 90 mins I was in there and my kid was cold. Couldn't stay any longer. read more

Very average at best. Stick to the burgers and sandwiches. Had to ask for silverware. Pasta has no flavor and served less than warm. Vegetables were under cooked. Waitress had no idea what wine they had. Salad was limp and the croutons were soft. read more

Never got into the place. We were in town for a softball tourney. We called ahead and asked if they had room to accommodate a larger party. We wanted to make sure we weren't going to drive there and then be turned away so we didn't waste the drive because the man on the phone said the didn't take reservations. I told him we only had an hour and we only wanted apps and adult beverages. He said "when you get here we may be full because we have an award winning tenderloin." Um, no and I don't care about your tenderloin because we only want apps and cocktails. I told him we'll take our party and our money elsewhere, so we did just that. Probably don't want to be a jerk on the phone because we'll spend our money elsewhere and we did. read more
