Where is anybody?!? Party of 3 walked in on 12/27/23 around 5pm when this place is advertised as open and out of approx. 30 indoor seats, only a party of 2 occupied the space. No employees of any kind front or back... all the tv's are off, half the lighting decor is off. Music playing in the kitchen area but no noise of any kind... if this is the norm then the lack of business is no surprise. Try again someday in the future & update if anything changes.

Stopped there for an early dinner. The steet tacos was absolutely amazing. There are pizzas and cook in a wood oven.Only one person was working. She was great. We ordered tacos to bring home.we will most definitely be going back.

Went here because the hours stated they open at lunchtime on Mondays, so arrived at 2pm. It looks like they have a very nice outdoor patio with fire pits. The door was unlocked, but when I walked inside, the chairs were still up on all the tables, there was music playing from a back room, and a camera pointed towards the door at the end of the bar, but no one was present. If they aren’t open on Mondays, they really should update their business hours. Gave 2 stars because the place looked nice.

Overpriced and underwhelming. We ordered two salads; probably not the best idea at 9:30pm since the lettuce was wilted and soggy.

This is a great place to grab a drink and relax with your friends. The red sangria spritzer is amazing

When traveling it is rare for us to stop for a leisurely meal, but in Grinnell we found ourselves with time and wanted a place where we could sit outdoors with our dog and enjoy a bite to eat and an adult beverage. This place delivered on all fronts. After too many heavy midwestern meals, the Mahi salad on romaine with mango and avocado was refreshing on this warm evening. My husband enjoyed the bbq pizza with a couple IPAs. I treated myself to a Manhattan that was on point. Service was brisk and there was no pressure to free our table. It was family friendly. They brought our pup a bowl of water. The restaurant and town is a couple miles off the interstate, but we will make a point to stop again. Lastly, we found ourselves close to the college campus which was a nice area to spend some time walking around after the meal.

I typically leave really distasteful reviews. One star for atmosphere because I was having a bad day and wasn't paying much attention to your place of business.One big thing is I had absolutely zero problems. 4 stars for service because I wasn't greeted.I have changed my review, you shouldnt have to suffer because I wasn't paying attention. But I hope you'll look into my reviews and see that 3 stars and no comment was really good. I also wanna note you reached out and commented on my review which is really classy ?

Service is well-intentioned but slow. Menu items are always unavailable, but food is good. Since there are only a few places worth visiting in Grinnell, IA, be thankful it is there.

Food is of a lighter fare, but very good. The Korean beef tacos and the classic stone fired pizza are very good. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
