What I loved was the soothing music playing in the background and the abundance of seating options, from a group table to cozy nooks and crannies. There are a variety of games set up and a shelf to choose from as well.

There is a variety of items for the home for sale and lovely artwork and cards as well.

I told one of the girls I’d never been in before, and she proceeded to show me everything on display. All of the yummy baked goods and pastries are huge, and the prices are very very reasonable! I left with 7 treats and only paid $9.50. Awesome quality, astounding service, a joy to have in Marshalltown!”

I am going to look for excuses to order cookies again soon!!! Thank you, Ma Browns Cookies!!”

“La comida esta bien rica! I would recommend these tacos to anyone. Go try them out”

“Can't recommend Terri enough! She made two dozen adorable Halloween themed baby shower cookies, and they were delicious!! I've never had one of these decorative cookies that I actually thought tasted good, I honestly just thought you had to choose between eye catching and taste. But these were both! Beyond pleased, guests at the shower texted me after bringing them home to let me know how great they tasted. Highly recommend.”

“Authentic Mexican in Iowa? Who would have guessed! We live in Texas, where good street tacos are prized. Maria's are as good as any I've had at home or in Mexico City. The posole was flavorful, and husband said the burrito was five star. Homemade horchata was best I've had anywhere. Every time we come to Marshalltown for family, Maria's is a must stop. Don't expect a fancy restaurant. It's window service from an old house, and you eat at picnic tables on the enclosed front porch or outside. But every Texan knows the best Mexican food comes from a hole-in-the-wall joint.”

“Amazing food!! Highly recommend”

“Four stars because I always have a good time here and the regulars are friendly. Th3 bartender I had yesterday poured plenty of vodka in my drinks which I appreciated. It's not a fancy bar, and smells of sanitizer or something but hey...dive bars are kinda cool”

“I’m a regular there daily 😅 they know my order to the T 🤩🫶🏻”

“Great service from our waiter Chuck and the other waitstaff. Great ending to our anniversary trip because of the way we were treated. They entertained our boys and loved loving on our baby. We even got a few extras to keep the kiddos happy while waiting for our food and it made our night less hectic.”

“I love both Buzzbee owned M-town business’s. Zeno’s and Rosie’s (wayward’s pub part ). The Buzzbee family could have invested in any community they wanted, but they chose Marshalltown! For that I am grateful and appreciative. Great food, with good vibes!”

“When this store first opened, I did not like it as much as the older Little Caesar's in the K-mart. It seemed like they skimped a bit on the sauce and cheese. After the K-mart closed, this store is the only option so I would still occasionally get pizzas there, but never with much enthusiasm.Fortunately, this store has really seemed to turn around! The last few orders I have placed, always for a custom pizza and not a hot-n-ready pizza, have been excellent.Keep making the pizzas great and I will keep coming back for more! Thanks!”

“The mongolian beef was amazingly tender and great flavor. Best I have had in years!!! 3 of us enjoyed everything. Food was hot and great flavor. we would recommend 100%. If we come back through we will stop again.!!!!!”

“Dairy Queen under new ownership - they were closed and still let me in so I could get a birthday cake. Truly above and beyond!!”

“Love my Starbucks and the guys and gals that work there”

“I just had the best Jimmy John’s sandwich I’ve ever had. The Marshalltown location does a fantastic job! Keep it up!”

“We love this restaurant and its owners they treat us like family.”

“The staff were super friendly. The food was good. My husband and I have tried a lot of pizza buffets (Pizza Hut, CC's, Infinitos) and this pizza ranch buffet dessert was my favorite pizza buffet dessert.”

“Stopped at this location on a commute through the state. They were kind, efficient, and knowledgeable about food allergies (Celiac Disease). Was in and out within 20 minutes and had no reaction to the food. Highly recommended.”
