We loved it! We showed up at 1pm, didn’t know they stopped lunch at 1, and they were so friendly and accommodating! Such a quaint little place, great people and service, and the food is good and the beer is ice cold! I loved seeing all the antiques!

Been coming here for years, since I was a kid. It hasn’t changed and that’s perfect. The ribeye is positively enormous. I had to filet and it was great, though the bacon wrap on it needed more cooking.

Get there when they open for the best chance to get a windowside view of the Des Moines River. Great OLD gristmill now operating as a restaurant for many years. Home cooked food. Generous portions. I had a big smoked pork chop, American fries, salad and potato soup. Hubby had catfish filet with French fries, etc
All great! It was his birthday so he received a complimentary scoop of vanilla ice cream delivered with a serenade! Scenic town well worth the trip. More shops are open on Saturday.

Very interesting place. The building beams and exposed joists are beautiful in their own way. The food was delicious and the portions are very generous. Just know that if you purchase the beef burger, it’s not served with a bun. It’s a hamburger steak. The outside is lovely. If you go around closer to the river, there are nice trees, flowers and grape vines. We will be back next time we are in the area visiting family.

So much good food!! No way to leave hungry!! The dinner comes with soup, salad, pan bread and all that before your huge meal comes. The appetizers are all so good! Love the fried green beans. By the time I get through the appetizers, soup and salad I am so stuffed. And then comes the entree. Everything is so amazing. Never had anything bad. Come hungry!!!

Excellent food, excellent atmosphere, fun times. Each dinner comes with soup, salad, fried bread, and croutons. We had 10 at our table on a Thursday night, we were about the only ones there.
We love eating there when we are in the area. It is built in an old grist mill.

Great little hideaway. Steaks were small for $35 but you got a half cup of soup, side salad and fresh bread with it. The special drink was good.

Good was pretty good and prices were phenomenal. It’s a funky, fun place to grab a meal with a good view. Servers and host were friendly and polite, but we had to wait awhile for things like water refills and our check.

Supremely disappointed to drive 2.5 hours to eat at your restaurant only to find it closed. Could you at least have noted that you were closed for the “scenic drive weekend” on your website? How unprofessional.
