11 Best American Restaurants in Marshalltown

“Their flavor is unmatched! Always generous meat portions. It has been a sixty year love affair.“

“Always have a wonderful experience when eating at Opa! Everything I’ve had on their menu is amazing, recommend this to anyone wanting try to something in in the area!“

“My husband and I love boutique inns, and since our birthdays were on either side of our nieces wedding last weekend, we chose the Tremont.

The owners are very gracious, and very honest. The flight of stairs up to the rooms is steep, and I have knee issues, but there are handrails on both sides and since there were never crowds of people entering or leaving at the same time, it was fine.

The rooms are spacious and well-appointed. The bathrooms are modern and they supply high quality, sustainable bath products. (We were upgraded to a king room, which was super sweet.) The bed was firmer than I’m used to, but the pillows were so great that I slept well every night.

We ate at Tremont on Main our first night, arriving just before they closed the kitchen. The food was fantastic and the service impeccable.

We had breakfast at the Tremont Grille most of the days we were in town. Super convenient to get my morning espresso fix and again, the staff was awesome. They even made us breakfast even though we arrived later than their typical hours.

Both restaurants feature jazz and Great American Songbook background music, which is very relaxing.

I’m a huge proponent of “think global, buy local” and was so happy to support a local business.

(Their overview mentions that they’re LGBTQ friendly, and even though we’re straight, we try to support inclusive businesses. )“

“Love their meals!“

“Didn't try the bowling, but tried the arcade. There aren't very many games but there is a good variety of games to pick from including two-player games that you can play with your kids, the workers are also super kind, After a game didn't give me all my tickets the worker was able to give me all the lost tickets. Overall this place is a great location to bring your family! 5/5 Stars.“

“The food is always good. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten my order wrong either which should be normal but at other places that’s not the case. You usually pull over to wait for your food but that’s because it’s made fresh and you’re really not waiting that long. They also run promotions to support local programs. Give them a try!“

“Love this place and the food“

“Every time we go to Perkins it's very friendly, great service and we never wait very long for our drinks or food. The food is very hot and has great flavors that's honestly makes me over stuff myself. That's ok though, because the pie and great atmosphere makes for a great meal, a great evening, I'd even call it a date night. Just like to say thank you to all of the staff, for making my life easier and for making me feel like I am at home. Keep up the great service all of you!“

“The food and drinks are very good. Some staff are great, others don't act like they want to be there. The inside and outside are very clean because it is brand new. The inside is very small and not somewhere I would want to sit down and eat with my family. Nothing for kids, unfortunately.

Parking: Not much space to park at all. Drive-thru line out into the road when busy.

Kid-friendliness: Not at all a place for kids.“

“I dined here years ago one time, & this was my 2nd visit. I am following a keto plan, & was able to have the Legend's burger with no bun, well done, with a condiment cup of dill pickles, & broccoli instead of fries. It fell within my plan & was delicious. Our waitress Hannah was excellent, & very kind. 5⭐️
My only issue was that the bathroom door lock/doorknob is broken, so hopefully they'll change the knob soon.
Overall it was a great lunch. Very pleased.“

“Lots of people, mostly younger crowd, always music and dance floor is hot, nice pool tables and big acarde area with lots of fun games. Sometimes service takes awhile and maybe they could use more bartenders during peek hours but the bartenders are always working hard and are cute so it makes up for it. Good vibes in general.“
