Had this place recommended to me once.... " If only for the pie, they have amazing pie!" They certainly do! I don't come up too often... When I do, I normally eat my slice first. They ALWAYS have at least 4 varieties of pie choices: fruit, cream, or meringue. There's always a comfort food special for lunch, that is not only delicious; it's very affordable. Today was the first time I've come in for breakfast. Had the Eggs Benedict with an extra side of bacon. Oh my holy TOOTS and A HALF! The hollandaise is definitely from scratch and the pouched eggs are absolutely PERFECT! I like to sit at the counter. No matter where you find your seat, your bound to see someone you know or be welcomed with a more than friendly smile...... This is a place that you GOTTA try!

Great service and good home-cooked food. Noisy but very upbeat atmosphere! The servers were happy and maintained a sweet spirit, even though they were extremely busy. Real treasure to Indianola, Iowa!

Grouse Cafe is located in Indianola across from the police department. Now I live in DesMoines, but I promise you, it’s worth the drive. I believe it’s been around since the 40’s and they continue to serve people with hospitality, & their food. They also serve a buffet on certain days at certain times, & it is fabulous. You won’t find instant mashed potatoes here. Every thing is delicious, with a home cooked flare. I believe it’s better than the Machine Shed. They have a white gravy that tastes just like my Mothers. The onion rights are to die for & their fried chicken is something special. The portions are big, and they treat you like family. There is some times a wait, but they shuffle a lot of people through there relatively fast. Definitely worth the wait. You will be glad you went there.

Always a solid choice for a meal at good prices. I have never had a bad meal or bad service. The problem with this place is they are so good they are usually busy.
