Restaurants near Elkader

“We were so happy to have happened upon Brim Coffee House while on tour in Iowa. Good coffee is sometimes not easy to find on the road and it was an oasis in the desert of bad coffee! @Amelia White and @Linda McRae of Tennessee Twisters from Nashville TN are so happy to have found this place. Such sweet folks too. Thanks so much Jody and everyone there. See you next time we’re through!”

“Delicious and proper croissants! Unfortunately, it was the only thing in the store I could eat. Everything in the store was sugar heavy cookies or donuts. I was looking for a loaf of sourdough bread (or any savory bread really) and savory pastries, but they only had white bread and plain croissants. Minus one star for the lack of non-sugar items.”

“Stopped in at this restaurant for their all-you-can-eat buffet and had a great experience overall. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming—perfect whether you’re just grabbing a quick bite or planning to stay and enjoy multiple trips to the buffet.

The buffet had a nice variety, and everything I tried was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. It’s clear they keep up with it and make sure food is consistently stocked and well-prepared. There was something for everyone, which made it even better.

Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the whole visit even more enjoyable. Staff seemed to genuinely care about making sure everything was running smoothly.

All in all, a great local restaurant to eat, relax, and enjoy a solid all-you-can-eat buffet. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Always great food and service!!”

“We were very lucky and honored to have our pre-wedding dinner at Schera's for our immediate family. During our family-style meal, the waiter explained what each of the dishes were, their main ingredients, and their cultural significance. Each of the dishes was amazing! Towards the end of the meal, the chef came outside to explain the story behind the dessert that he had prepared for us. All in all, it was a truly wonderful meal with amazing hospitality and with some great views. Highly recommend!”

“I had the Spicy Joe personal pizza cooked well done and the strawberry hibiscus sorbet to cool down the heat in the ghost peppers! The staff was kind, the food was good and well priced. I enjoyed my experience.”

“Small space, colorful, has live music opportunities, and lots of beer options. The space is so small that the live music is way too loud, but it's still fun. The beer is decent.”

“We were recommend this place from a local and we will definitely be back. The staff were super nice.”

“The rooms here offer everything you would need. Some have ocean views which is nice. Its a cross between a hotel and Inn. Good place to stay in the town for sure. There are several other restaurants close by and the local theatre is just a short drive less than 5 min.”
