Restaurants in Newton

“The food was absolutely incredible. One of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. We had barbacoa and mole, both were delicious and I would highly recommend.”

“We just ate there and gave the waiter a tip and an additional tip for the cook. I asked the waiter to take it to the cook and my husband watch him place it in his own pocket ?”

“Today was my first time here and I loved everything about it! A beautiful relaxing atmosphere, incredibly clean, and the food was soooo fresh and good!! Definitely a must go to!”

“What a way to start the day Pam treated me to an over the top in deliciousness Special Italian at PJ's Deli. I ordered mine with pepper jack cheese and ask them to make it an angry Italian by lacing it with Jalapenos. I've eaten mine grilled as well as heated in the past and like both ways, but really do prefer heated. This is a magnificent sandwich from a magnificent restaurant. We in Newton are very fortunate to have have them here.As you can clearly see from the last photo, PJ Deli has earned my coveted cleaned plate award and for sure has my highest recommendation.”

“Passing through and stopped off for a bite. Very glad we did! Food was delicious! Had to try the Iowa classic Steak de Burgo. The waitress was super nice! Stop in when you're passing by.”

“Nice brewery with a great outdoor space. It is in a low key location and doesn't look much like a brewery. A little sterile on the inside but not uninviting by any means. Regardless, there is a nice selection of beers; everyone will be able to find something they will enjoy. The staff was very nice and helpful. A delightful local brewery to enjoy a beer or two”

“The best American Chinese food hands down. Get the orange chicken and crab rangoons! Ever since moving to Des Moines 15 years ago I still look forward to coming back to Newton for this place (and PJs deli and La Canana).”

“Good pub to have a drink and enjoy the atmosphere.Excellent place to meet people from the town and surroundings.They have a very extensive beer menu and the calendar is full of activities to enjoy it.”

“Super nice lady was running the place and I was in there for one thing and one thing only: Maytag Cheese! Getting Maytag cheese in the hotel. Maytag? Are you kidding me? Is there anything else on this planet that make you prouder to be an American in Iowa? I think not.”

“My girlfriend and I went here for the first time and the staff were very inviting, they even gave us suggestions We had nachos and cheese curds for an appetizer and it was absolutely delicious. The burgers are amazing and the chicken tenders were perfect definitely coming back!!”

“Excellent restaurant with an extensive Mexican menu.Good music and decoration, the menu is very extensive and for all tastes.The after-dinner cocktails are very good.”

“Although COVID hit hard on business and how dine in and take out are handled, Gio’s has managed to stay true to their roots. Every business has their short comings, some even close down all the way. Trying to navigate a still Covid world and business is hard. Quality vs quantity is where they shine compared the other guys. When a compliant is voiced they make it right. Local business that is not a franchise. Cut them some slack. They also have fish!”

“Probably the best tenderloin I have ever had. Every bite was crunchy and tender. Perfectly cooked high quality piece of pork tenderloin. Very generous size - much larger than the bun. Added a chocolate shake which was also superb. Made from lots of high quality dark chocolate ice cream. Thick and delicious. Service staff very friendly. I will be back!”

“Cool place to stop in for a drink or shoot some pool or play darts. Drinks were cold, and the staff was friendly, even though we had a party of 4. We all had a great time, and the locals were all kind to us. I see alot of mixed reviews, but I would say this place deserves a shot if you're passing through. The layout is pretty cool. Thanks again!”

“Sugar Grove is an absolutely wonderful wedding venue. Nestled on an old vineyard among some rolling hills northwest of Newton, the property is both rustic and sophisticated in all of the right ways. It offers a main barn that can be used for both wedding ceremonies and receptions as well as several other ceremony sites around the property. We were among the first to make use of a beautiful ceremony location installed by the pond, just a short walk away from the barn. The venue also has a historic building on-site for hosting rehearsal dinners and other events.We cannot say enough about how helpful the owner, Colette, was in planning out our day. She is a huge part of the amazing deal that this venue offers as she acts essentially as a wedding planner, happy to help orchestrate everything that must fall into place at the venue. She did so much to make our experience as stress free as possible.We have included some pictures of our ceremony and reception from our wedding day. Everything went so smoothly for us and we are so happy with how our day went. There are so many more good things to say about Sugar Grove, but we'll leave you to discover them for yourself!”
