This place is a wonderful little hidden gem in Harlan. I had a cup of soup, hush puppies and hot tea. Perfect fall lunch. If you are traveling through this part of Iowa, stop and see them. 😊

Nestled in a small town was the most amazing dining experience we have had in a long time. The appetizers (steak kabobs, fried green tomatoes and the Brussel sprouts) were amazingly tasty. Everyone couldn’t get enough. When ordering our meals they said they were out of the Iowa bone in pork chop, however shortly after the owner stopped by our table and as we were picking and joking she said they have some as she just brought them. She quickly went and changed the order ensuring everyone had what they wanted. My husband ordered the salmon with mashed potatoes and carrots, I don’t like fish and I throughly enjoyed the bite of his salmon. He said the carrots were amazingly tasty as well. I had the pasta primavera which I LOVED, my husband enjoyed a few bites as well. Our child had a cheese burger, house salad and some accidental fries. He traded his fries for the house salad and still had fries but he said both were amazing and if he had to choose again he’s not sure which he would choose. The burger was massive, he usually eats quite a bit and could not finish his burger. Overall if I could give the restaurant more than 5 stars I would! If you like tea be sure to try out the raspberry sweet tea!

If you want a steak and a romantic environment, this is the place to go. I took my wife here for our Anniversary dinner and was not let down. Our server was very polite as well as eager to please. I had the Seafood pesto and it was great. My wife had a French Dip Sandwich and it was also quite impressive. This is the pla e you take your date if you want to make a great impression.

Ten of us had a fabulous meal on Saturday night. We ate a variety of appetizers, entrees and desserts. Pork chops, filet, salmon, shrimp, polenta, French dip, tilapia and mahi mahi. All were excellent! Calamari, brussel sprouts and bread for appetizers and finished with key lime pie, chocolate cake and carrot cake. Highly recommend. We will return!!
