Restaurants near Amana

“My dad and I unexpectedly happened upon the Millstream Brewing Co while touring around Amana and stopped in for a quick beer and root beer. We ended up buying some to take home with us to continue to enjoy throughout the summer. I ended up enjoying it so much I made a trip back during the winter holidays to restock! The varieties of beers are inventive and creative. My favorite so far is Adult Nap Time. They seem to have a regular rotation of artists that perform at the brewery too! Definitely a good idea to check this place out for a relaxing moment.”

“I love this winery. Very good wine and a variety of sweets and drys. The service is always top notch and you can tell the attendants know what their talking about. The space is clean, spacious and cute. The $10 wine tasting is fulfilling and leaves you filling a buzz. Their wine in general is very tasty and will satisfy any palet.”

“Great experience today, owner shared his wine and vast knowledge.. what an incredible tasting. I wouldn't overlook a stop at White Cross. We personally love the Cranberry Bog, however all these wines produced are well worth stopping while in Amana.”

“Ah, a night at the Electric Thread Social Club - it's like stepping into a speakeasy meets art gallery with a soundtrack of good vibes. My wife and I had an absolute blast there, thanks in no small part to the fantastic atmosphere and, of course, the delightful manager, TJ. Cheers to TJ and good libations: TJ greeted us with a warm smile and a contagious enthusiasm that instantly put us at ease. My wife, the Cosmo connoisseur, was equally impressed with the creative cocktail menu, and my old fashioned was so perfectly balanced, it felt like a hug in a glass. Beyond the Drinks: But the Electric Thread is more than just a place to quench your thirst. It's a social hub, buzzing with friendly chatter and laughter. We struck up conversations with fellow travelers, sharing stories and recommendations like old friends. The atmosphere is electric (hence the name!), but not overwhelming - it's the perfect blend of lively and laid-back. A Sensory Feast: And then there's the space itself. Exposed brick walls adorned with local art, cozy nooks bathed in warm lighting, and a charming outdoor patio overlooking the millrace stream - it's a feast for the eyes as much as the taste buds. The bar top is a poured bit of history with cogs an tools encapsulated in gallons of crystal clear epoxy! Very cool! Memorable Moments: We left the Electric Thread that night feeling recharged and connected. It wasn't just the great drinks and friendly faces; it was the feeling of being part of something special, a shared experience that left us with warm memories and a desire to return. It was a nice and short walk back to our room in the hotel! So, if you're looking for a place to: Sip on expertly crafted cocktails and local brews Soak up the buzz of good conversation and friendly vibes Discover hidden gems in the Amana region Meet someone as awesome as manager TJ Then look no further than the Electric Thread Social Club. It's more than just a bar; it's an experience you won't forget. Pro tip: Don't miss the occasional live music nights for an extra dose of entertainment. Cheers to TJ and the Electric Thread for a fantastic night!”

“I am a cider girl. Give me a good cider over any other drink any day of the week. This is the place. I tested a blackberry cider and I am hooked. We bought multiple blackberry along with strawberry rhubarb and original cider. AMAZING!!!!!!”

“Friendly service. Young lady greeted and shared her insight on her favorite popcorn and also the most popular. I choose the Wisconsin white cheddar and really enjoyed the cheddary buttery goodness. My husband really liked the ranch flavored one so we left happy. Definitely a place to stop in if your in town they have both savory and sweet options. Will be back to try the sweet ones next time.”

“Located on the Lower level of the General store you will find Amana Coffee & Team. They offer a HUGE selection of beans and loose leaf teas along with samples! We make it down the the Amana Colonies two or three times a year from the Des Moines metro. Sometimes it's intentional and sometimes we are down in Williamsburg at the outlet mall and main Amana is just a few more miles down the road. The General Store is a must stop location for us. If you want to take home a momento of your visit or want to find something Amanda Colonies centered this is the place for you. Hard goods, food items (refrigerated, jarred/canned, dry), souveniers, some locally sourced goods, and a wide varitety is seasonal holiday items are available at The Christmas Room (connected but technically next door). And don't miss the teas and coffees downstairs at Amana Coffee & Tea... If you can't make it to the individual shops throughout main Amana you can find a lot of the same goods here like a small selection of meats and cheeses from the Amana Meat Shop & Smokehouse. So if your time is limited... The General Store is your spot! Service is always fantastic, the shop is clean and well organized, and it usually smells wonderful in here. It seems we always walk out of here with something! And I can almost guarantee that once you'v been in the General Store along with Amana Coffee & Tea and the Christmas Room, like us, this will be a location you venture into every time you come back to the Amana Colonies.”

“Millstream Brau Haus solid eatery living in the Amanas! We popped in on a Saturday afternoon and were seated right away. Our server was truly amazing. He was attentive, kind and prompt. I had a German doppelbock and Millstream's own oatmeal stout. Delish! But the real star of the show were the chicken wings. Great size, well cooked and the sauce (Buffalo) was exactly what I was hankering. Dare I say they are among the best wings in the area!? I dare. The menu features a plethora of sandwiches and burgers (which looked amazing) with some German entrees, as well. I hear their pretzels are to die for. Prices were on point. While this eatery is open daily I will note; it closes earlyish (8 on weekdays, 9 on the weekend). Stop in for a pint-- grab some wings or a pretzel. Millstream Brau Haus is a must-have.”

“This was an amazing find on F Street in Amana. Eric the mall owner was very helpful and friendly. This store has it all. Full clean and well lite upper and lower levels. Coins, LPs, S&Ps, furniture, glassware, toys, plus 1000s of other items. Allow a couple of hours to see it all. Check them out on Facebook. Stop and shop you won't be disappointed.”

“4.25* (out of 5) Food: 4* Atmosphere: 3* Value: 5* Service: 5* 01/21/2024 My wife found this place online and wanted to stop for a meal, so we ate brunch here on the way out of town after our weekend stay in Amana. It is inside an older traditional brick building and has a lot of character, actually reminding me of walking into a centuries-old restaurant in Europe. The basic colonial decor fits the character of the 19th century Colonies theme with a penchant for the color burgundy throughout the restaurant. I gave the atmosphere an average rating - clean and historic, yet also a bit aged. The service, quality and value of the food though is what stood out to me from our visit. Max W. was our server and he was very attentive, full of suggestions and made the experience quite enjoyable. My wife ordered the Ronneburg Melt with Fried Potatoes and I ordered the Schnitzel Sandwich with Pickled Beets (see picture below). I don't have pictures of the meals and while I can't seem to get it posted on the website, here is the link for the Reel on Instagram, showing the food and the interior of the restaurant: If you found this review helpful, please show your appreciation with a Like or a Follow.

“Schnitzel is highly recommended, as is the Bratwurst & Knackwurst. It took a little while for us to get our food, but it was fresh and the atmosphere was lively.”

“Got drip coffee complimentary as well as a gluten free monster cookie since we have a gluten allergy. Wish I could have enjoyed more options but grateful for the cookie. My son really enjoyed it he drank with his milk. As for the coffee it was okay. Coffee didn't have much taste and the cup over powered the taste. I'm for biodegradable cups but I didn't enjoy it. Definitely recommend to people who can enjoy a nice strudel they looked delicious! Unfortunately there were none when we stopped in so we couldn't bring some home as treats to family or friends.”

“Such a cute place! My husband and I stopped on our way back to IL. If I were local, this would be a frequent of mine. Delicious coffee and great atmosphere! The girls working the counter were awesome and so kind!”

“Love this place!! Was in town for work and came here twice. Staff is awesome and food is amazing (I love authentic Mexican). The birria tacos and sopes were the best!”

“What a lovely little place to visit in town! I dropped in for the first time and was very impressed by both the service and atmosphere. And the food! Holy heck, it was delicious!I had the Cubano, which was one of the best sandwiches I've had in years. My husband enjoyed the meatball sub and fries and loved them both. I also got a chimichanga special to enjoy the next day, and it didn't disappoint.Definitely recommend stopping by. I'm so glad to have such a delicious place in town!”

“Doc's has a positive vibe, friendly owners and staff. A wonderful selection of local craft brews with a great rotation, so always something new to try. Ciders, domestic beer and wine available for those who don't dabble in the craft brew world. Pretzel bites with spicy mustard dip is a great option, but a new menu is also out with WINGS!! They have a beautiful outdoor area with heaters, fire pit and events with live music and other fun & games along with theme nights, like Wednesday Ladies Nights. Great to have this beautiful addition to the Williamsburg square!”

“ICON of Williamsburg cuisine. I crave it! Lunch favorite - Sauerkraut and Canadian Bacon. House Favorite - extra sauce, beef, Canadian bacon, green pepper, onion, light cheese. Adult kids favorite - the sandwiches! ?”

“They have outside seating, in front and back. The back patio is very beautiful with the trees, especially in the fall. I had their Autumn Spice wine, it delicious, and perfect for chilly days or nights and it can be warmed. Also tried the Holiday Spice, it was good also.”

“I’ve been to many Arby’s all across the country and this is the BEST I’ve ever been to. The bathrooms were nice and clean, the staff was friendly, and the food was so good. I didn’t realize Arby’s could taste this good…this is the way it should be. Arby’s corporate needs to go to this store to see exactly how an Arby’s should be run.”

“They always have a great selection of drinks! The staff is friendly and I usually order at least a few times each week! I like that they offer Montly specials, those are usually my favorites!!! ?”

“I wish express my gratitude to this post for their friendly atmosphere, hardworking foe welcoming my family in a moment of loss. My family appreciates the support you give to all your service brothers and sisters. Stay the course”

“This is actually the second time we've eaten at Landmark Grill & Grind... The first time was good, but this time was exceptional. We rolled in as Easter brunch was wrapping up on Easter Sunday. Traveling on Easter Sunday is never fun when you are trying to find something to eat outside of fast food or reservation only Easter brunches. We could tell that staff was frazzled from out of the gate after wrapping up their own hectic brunch service. Our party of four arrived just as another party of four arrived for regular menu service. We were seated after a short wait. Tina introduced herself and took our drink orders right away. In conversation she mentioned they had been open from 700 AM - 100 PM for brunch. The first three hours had been spent with only two members of staff seating and serving. Our party ordered one catfish special, two shrimp dinners, and one chicken strip plate and accompanying sides and foutain drinks. Tina did an excellent job. Updating us on our food order, refilling drinks, and she was taking care of several tables besides ours... The food was great! I'd highly recommend the catfish dinner! Two large fillets and cooked perfectly. Extra crispy fresh out of the fryer tater tots! We wrapped up our meal and headed back out on the road. Hoping the staff recovered well after Easter Sunday and that everyone tipped well! Thank you for being open and for the great food and service!”

“From the moment we walked in this place was welcoming. The bartender was very attentive and the food was amazing it was even easy to share a small meal. Absolutely loved it !!!”

“Great place to watch sports,done and drink. Large selection of draft beers. The root beer and cream soda they make is my favorite. Oh...and don't forget to get some of their delicious bread pudding dessert! ?”

“Parking: Parking at medical clinic next door when they are not open is normal.Wheelchair accessibility: Chipseal parking lot can be soft for wheelchairs when it gets redone.”

“My hometown bar I grew up in and love. Great service and good food. But God damn the prices to eat, have a couple drinks, and leave a decent tip are God damn outrageous. Doubt I'll be back anytime soon. I don't know how people can even afford to go there.”

“We wanted to try a new place while looking for lunch options before going to the Outlet stores. We selected this Mexican place in the downtown area of Williamsburg. They had many menu options to choose from and even some unique ones. I do wish they used better chorizo and they didn't overcook their carne asada. I am not sure why they cook that so long. More flavor and tenderness could be enjoyed if cooking time or process was improved.”

“Fantastic food and excellent service. Placed a walk in order for a variety of items. The staff was very friendly and the had my order ready amazing fast! Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. Highly recommended.”

“Jenny was our waitress and she DEFINITELY DESERVES A RAISE!! Such a hoot! She is totally on point! KIM also made sure we never had an empty glass!! Happy Thursday everyone!!”
