I arrived after their kitchen was closed, and this young lady went above and beyond to make sure I was able to get something to eat. She was very happy, friendly and genuine. If I could give more than 5 stars based on her personality, I absolutely would. I'm sorry I don't remember her name, she's a brunette and mis 20's, but she's A number 1 in my book! Thank you so much for everything and if I'm ever in the area, I will be back!

Good choice in Kalona for pub style burgers, hot sandwiches, and dinners. Spirits and domestic beers are available.

You will not go away hungry.Dinner service only so find another spot for lunch. Service can be spotty at times but still a solid place to stop and eat!

Stopped here for a few drinks while in Kalona. The place was not obviously marked as a bar but the drinks were strong and good. Service was quick and everyone was very friendly. Will definitely stop her again if I’m ever in the area.

The food is the only decent thing about this place. The kitchen opens whenever they feel like it - different time every time you call. Drove from Washington to Kalona to pick up our order and was told they were out of part of the order.
