This is my first visit to this Machine Shed having been to others in Illinois and Wisconsin. I learnt that this is the first and oldest location. As usual the food was excellent. Big portion sizes and full of flavor. I really enjoy the Machine Shed, but my only complaint today was that our main was brought out and we hadn’t finished our soup. This happens in too many restaurants nowadays

They don’t do free refill of the bread anymore, at least our server didn’t offer. Besides that, berthing is pretty good, not really understand why they put tortillas with salad, it’s better to come with tortillas chips

Easy choice for a casual sit-down lunch. I tried the lunch combo half sandwich and a cup of soup. The soup of the day was the beef noodle. I ordered half of a club sandwich. It looked like they also had a soup/salad bar. My server did a nice job and kept things quick. Even comes with a gift shop to browse on your way out. Great option for those looking to boycott Cracker Barrel.

Food was delicious servings were huge!! I could have shared a main course and still been satisfied. It was Valentine’s Day they told us a 30 min wait but I don’t even think we waited 15 mins. Would def go back

I love this place. I am sure it is haunted by the locals, but today in the early morning, it was rather empty.
We both had the country breakfast, I the chicken and my son the pork. There is a lot of food…and I liked the chicken, but the pancake was the best part of the breakfast! Yummy!
But in addition, the country store is stacked with lots of things you want to unload your money for.
Out waitress was fabulous and informative.

I stopped here recently on a bus tour. I love the outdoor props. Dinner was good the veggies were fresh. They have a nice gift store with John Deere items

What a Place to Visit and Dine!
We stopped here on recommendation of local friends. As we walked through the gift shop to our table, I knew I would be shopping after we ate. The items were much nicer than Cracker Barrel junk.
The items on the menu looked tasty! I had to order the bacon Bloody Mary, which was tasted great! Extra lime and olives for me! I ordered the Alehouse Turkey sandwich on the recommendation of the waitress and my partner ordered the meatloaf and mashed potatoes.
The dish with his “snack” came quickly – fresh homemade bread, butter, cole slaw, coffee cake and stewed apples that were the bet apples I have ever had! I couldn’t stop eating them!
The sandwich was sooo good and I could only eat half, I had them wrap the other half in cellophane and ate it on the plane! My partner couldn’t believe how big the slice of meatload was – at least 2 inches thick, topped with mashed potatoes and gravy and onion strings. He’s a big eater and couldn’t come close to finishing.
The rhubarb crisp was amazing too – my first time eating rhubarb anything.
They had lots of John Deere merchandise, as JD HQ is in Davenport, so my grandson got a bunch of swag. And if you eat here, definitely get a cinnamon roll or two to go – it was my breakfast the next day.
The manager, Dave was very friendly and was happy that I was going to leave a good review on social media. Believe me, The Machine Shed is a place you need to go when you’re by any of there 5? locations. You wont be sorry!

We have been going here for years. The food is always delicious. The cottage cheese and baked apples are superb. The service has always been great. The store in the front has tons of adorable products for purchase. I would happily eat here every day if I could.

“Dedicated to the American Farmer.” That is The Machine Shed’s creed.
Today (August 1st 2025) my wife and I stopped in for lunch, and I’m glad we did. It was our first visit so we weren’t sure what to expect. I now know you can expect: friendly service, reasonable prices, and good food.
When you walk in the front door it is a little confusing. There is a gift shop, and the restaurant is past the gift shop; but the hostess stand is in the gift shop. You also pay your dinning bill at the gift shop counter. The gift shop got very congested, but it was not a big deal and won’t impact my rating.
We started with a cup of French Onion Soup. It was very good, they top it with some thin french fried onions which was a nice twist.
It has been awhile since I’ve been in Iowa and I was craving a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich. The sandwich was good but not up to Iowa standards. I’m accustomed to a breaded pork tenderloin that is pounded nice and thin and is way bigger than the bun. This was not pounded thin. It was a thick cut of meat. But, I repeat it was good. My fries were delicious. My wife had the Classic Burger and it was excellent. She said her sweet potato fries were good (I did not try them).
Service is friendly, and prices are reasonable. One word of caution: If you are on a road-trip and hoping for a quick stop (as we were) be warned it won’t be quick. Everything is made from scratch, which is great, but it definitely takes longer.
If you are in Davenport and looking for good food at reasonable prices you might want to stop by The Machine Shed.

Driving down I-80 and figured to stop and get a bite to eat here. Let me tell you it was worth it. Service was great, food was great, and all of the extra food they give you made it that much better. You definitely won’t be disappointed. Breezy was one of the best waitresses I have ever had.
