“Good food and good service!”

“What a fun environment and selection of beers and some liquor. They were fantastic we were there for my friend’s wedding reception and singing. The owner made sure the best man and the wedding party was taken care of. I would recommend Grinnell Craft Brewhouse.”

“Good food & good service For sure will be back!”

“Amazing food, love the carne asada, the incredible salsa and best Bloody Mary we’ve had in Texas!”

“I-80 Dhaba is an unexpected surprise. Modeled after roadside stops in India, they serve all-veg tandoori options as well as vegetables and dumplings in delicious gravies and excellent, thin, and crispy naan.”

“El Cascabel is the best Mexican food in Grinnell. The have a variety of dishes. Their menu has a mix of vegetarian, beef, chicken, pork, and seafood options. There are also several options for beverages. The horchata is my favorite but it seperates quickly so make sure to drink it fast.

The service is good and the staff is attentive. The chips are delicious, but the salsa is nothing fancy. I always ask for the to bring me a spicer salsa and mix it in with the first salsa.

Lastly, El Cascabel is right next to a perpendicular railroad intersection. The first one I have ever see. It is quite the experience when a train goes by especially if you are seated at the Southeast corner of the restaurant.

“My husband and I stopped in for a bite at lunch today. Our service was great. Such personable people. The corn nuggets were awesome. They were very helpful with potatoes, since I am a vegetarian. My husband had an excellent chili burger. We will be back. Thanks guys!”

“By far my favorite bread. Lots of meat on your sandwich. I always get the box lunch so I get chips, a pickle spear and a cookie with my sandwich. Lots of food for the price. Friendly staff and quick service.”

“Pleasant atmosphere. I was there during Halloween time and they had costume contests. The music of the 80s and 90s is lively but without stridency. They have a live DJ and several screens”

“Amazing quality every time we stop in”

“I've never been to the Dari Barn until today. The service was amazing, friendless service ever! We ordered the barn burger and pig pen fries. Pig pen fries are a meal of themselves. The food was Extraordinary. Bit pricey, but where isn't these days! I will Definitely go there again when I'm in the area.”

“Saints Rest is a wonderful part of Grinnell's ambience.”

“The owner does a wonderful job of running this business, making sure people are having a relaxing time/atmosphere. The people who go here were just here for a fun and relaxing time as well. It's nice to be able to have a place to socialize which is safe! We hung out and played pool, hung out with the bar's cat, and met a family. It was nice to see people out, socializing, together.”

“Holy wow. This place was incredible. As first timers in Iowa, we weren’t sure where to eat and what even was available for a handful of vegetarians - but this place was IT and then some.

We went on May 21st, and we were greeted by 2 men at 8:40 pm. They let us know the buffet was closing shortly but essentially implied “take as much as you can since we throw out everything at the end of the night anyways” so WE DID (as you can see from our plates. And we were FULL after a 10.5 hour drive, but then they brought out a custom made veggie pizza which we DEVOURED.

An incredible experience for something we thought was a “mom & pop” shop for how nice the host was but happy to find out it’s a chain that exists in our home state!

Fully recommend to all those in the area!”
