Restaurants in Decorah

“I’ve recently given birth and was craving a sandwich from Water Street Deli for months. My husband called while I was in labor. The deli was going to be closed, but he worked with him to get me a sandwich for after birth in his off hours 🥪❤️”

“Very friendly & caring to their customers and they get the food out very quick— even when they’re busy! The best Mexican food you’ll ever have!! We love going to Don Jose!!”

“If you ever find yourself in Decorah (or even if not because it’s 💯 worth the drive!) go here. The food was amazing and the service was outstanding. Between the four of us, we had filet, ribeyes, shrimp, lobster, French onion soup, salad and twice baked potatoes. It was the best dinner I have had in a long time! The espresso martinis were out of this world too. Having said that, my favorite part? I made the reservation online through open table and it asked if there was an occasion. I chose birthday of course, but didn’t expect anything. When that sat us, this signed card was at the table and then without asking they brought both of us couples dessert to celebrate. So nice and something very unexpected. I can’t wait to go there again!”

“This has become our favorite restaurant to eat at. Only complaint is that it’s two hours away. Highly recommend. Delicious every time!”

“We were visiting Decorah from MN and were excited to find this brewery. We loved it! Great beer, cozy vibe and a lot of outside seating. We will definitely be back when we're in the area again.”

“What a wonderful place, was there on 6/7/23 for my birthday Dinner. did not realize I had left my wrap there until I was already out of town. made a phone call and they had it there and mailed it to me and would not take payment for the mailing.”

“Reminds me of the neighborhood bars of the past. Very enjoyable atmosphere.”

“Had our sons 12th birthday and got the “Strike” package! So worth it! Excellent service, the food was amazing and the kids are worn out! Thanks King Pin for making his birthday one he won’t forget!”

“April 8, 2023. Wow! The food was awesome! I had the brisket street tacos. Meat was delicious and slaw in the taco was excellent Shared with my husband as it was a lot of food. Beans were tasty and cornmeal muffin was satisfying. You’ve got to try it!”

“Amazing Food!! 10/10 recommend!”

“We enjoyed delicious, fresh sushi & appetizers. The employees were very kind, welcoming & offered great recommendations on items to try. The dessert was unique & delicious (green tea ice cream!). We will definitely be back!”

“Convenient to downtown. Well appointed and quiet rooms. Very good breakfast and coffee. Gotta love the hotel room bathrooms. Enjoying my three night stay.”

“They have a decent variety of wines, many of which are on the sweeter side. Their gift area supports a fair variety such as the common standards, T-shirts, kitchen wares, wine glasses, and a few unique creations for wine lovers. They offer a four tray tasting for $6.00, and their wines are fairly priced. Stop in for a tasting, and a light snack.”

“Drove two hours for pizza and it didn’t disappoint. Excellent pizza. We had all around the garden.”

“When you need a good meal on the road - Choose Culvers! I took three people who'd never been before and all of them left happy and grateful for the quality food, service, and attractive setting. The custard is out of this world. Do NOT pass this creamy treat up! Fresh, made to order food, and brought to your table with a smile! At this particular Culver's the landscaping was spectacular. I mean, high-end homes do not often have the flowers and gardens that this Culvers has. Beautiful, really beautiful flowers and shrubs. Plus an assortment of places to sit outside!”

“Visiting the area from Michigan, stopped in a couple of times. Fantastic seasonal drinks, friendly staff, nice relaxed vibe.”

“Great food, service and atmosphere!! Highly recommend !!”

“great place with a variety of options to grab a bite or drink from. nice atmosphere.”

“I dine here often for breakfast. Best bargain in town for simple bacon and eggs. Their other breakfast options are also delicious (French Toast, Egg Scramble, Breakfast Sandwich etc...) and the portions are generous. Coffee and other drinks (Even a Bloody Mary if you want one!) are available at The Buzz, also located in the food court.”

“Summer never ends was delicious. Well worth the drive to Decorah!!”

“An amazing place to visit, you'll feel at home and they're just super friendly! Their selection of beers and food is great and they love Rugby!”

“Not from the area but my boyfriend and I were walking and came across your pie. We got the apple pie and it was amazing! We came back the next day and got an Oreo and strawberry pie. Both very good as well not our top favorites! We will definitely be coming back and trying all of the pies!!! 100% recommended though!(:”

“This drive-thru is a wonderful addition to Decorah, all the coffee and smoothies we order are very good and the staff is very friendly. My only complaint is the hours, I really wish they were open until at least 10pm for us night shift workers.”

“Delicious fresh food and amazing coffee. The black bean burger is PERFECT! Friendly helpful staff.”

“great place with a variety of options to grab a bite or drink from. nice atmosphere.”

“Took our family out for breakfast on a Saturday morning. The place was busy, but the quality of service and food was still amazing! Kept our coffee cups full and staff had smiles on their faces! Great job Sabin family table.”

“Loved the atmosphere! Great place for gathering! I'm sure to go again.”

“Great dive bar atmosphere! Great employees that are very attentive and work well together. We showed up for the first time in Nordic Fest Sunday. We were warned by Davia, the bartender, that it would be at least 45 minutes. It took a bit longer but we were warned! Excellent Bloody Mary's. We sat at the bar because the whole place was packed.

We ended up taking our breakfast to go because of time constraints. We shared the chorizo burrito and Philly omelet. It was delicious. I do need to learn to ask places if they grill their burritos at all. I like the texture of a browned tortilla so I'll all fire that if I go back. The Philly omelet was out favorite 😍 I will say the American fries are actually cottage fries but they were cooked perfectly for me. They happily packed out for to go and made sure forks, napkins and extra sauces were in the bag. Great stop that was recommended by a friend. We will be back on a day we don't have prior agreements.”
