Best food I have had in Grinnell! This was the best meal I have had for a long time. I also have tried the birria tacos and the fajita, but the carnitas were inedible! Solid sides as well. The rice, beans, and salad have always been top notch too. Excellent service from my waiter Tony. He certainly contributed to my positive dining experience. Overall, this was is one of my favorite new places to eat in Iowa!!!”

“We went in on Labor Day and there was only one worker working. He apologized for our wait, which honestly wasn’t that bad. He still seemed calm cool collected about the whole thing and was extremely nice to us. He also took his time making our sandwiches and didn’t seem rushed when he could’ve easily felt that way.

I give this worker props because he had a steady flow of people walking in the door where he never got a second to himself the entire time we were inside eating there, but he did a great job the entire time!! he definitely needs recognition for it.”

“Amazing quality every time we stop in”

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

The food was yummy, the service was great & we really enjoyed the ice creams!”

“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.”

“We headed to Jimmy John's to grad a quick dinner while staying in Grinnell. We used the drive thru service. The staff were friendly and efficient. Our order was delivered quickly and accurately though we had to remind the window about getting a cup of ice. The food -- both a sandwich and a wrap -- were very good. We had an $8 bill. It was a good Jimmy John's experience.”
