Restaurants in Ottumwa

“Whenever I pass through Ottumwa, Iowa, I always make it a point to stop at Warehouse Barbecue. Their prices are reasonable, the sides are top-notch, and the barbecue is absolutely phenomenal. Easily one of the best spots to eat in the entire region. If you’re ever in the area, do yourself a favor and check it out—you won’t regret it! 🔥🍖”

“First time here and won't be my last. Highly recommend stopping here if you are in the area.The loose meat sandwich was very good as well as the service. My understanding the canteen lunch in the alley has been here since 1927. It is a old school experience and a great place to have lunch.”

“pupusas , pescado y quesadillas”

“They have everything you could want for breakfast, lunch, and dinner-type options (I don't know how late they serve). Excellent food and service. I would like more small two-top, four-top tables in the area so they could serve more people and have them available to pull together for larger groups. I do miss The Pink Pig Diner.”

Their goal is to make sure you leave with a smile and to know you’re appreciated! ♥️ They offer so many different drinks and goodies! It’s not just coffee. 😉I also love supporting small businesses!! Thank you Java Rocket 🚀 for always putting a smile 😊 on my face!! If you haven’t been there… YOU are missing out ♥️”

“Terrific food and ambience. Take a stroll around the dining area to view antiques from around the world. Very friendly staff. Will try the al fresco dining area in warm weather. You can linger over a meal, or dessert and a beverage here. Room for a larger party or intimate enough for one or two.”

My 82 year old Mother and I ate here on June 18th and when we went to leave it was a downpour of rain and we were waiting in the entryway when a gal went to get us an umbrella and then came an employee named Rodney with the umbrella to walk us to the car and help my mother in the vehicle.

“So delicious! My husband and ai enjoy it very much!”

“I had supper at Courtyard Bar & Grill tonight while watching part of the World Series game. I talked with both Danny and Bren at the bar, both of whom were glad I'd come in. The food was pretty good (fish & chips), bu the service and personal friendliness made me feel very welcome (I'm from out of town & state). But what was extraordinary about the meal is that someone angel there paid my bill. It didn't cost me a dime! I am both touched and grateful to whoever was so generous and kind. Thank you! (I'll be back!)”

“We love how personable the workers can be and the food is delicious! The Fun Zone is our family’s favorite!

Vegetarian options: You can ask for any pizza/s you want them to add to the buffet and you get first dibs! The salad bar is also clean.

Kid-friendliness: We have a family of 9 and a lot of our kids are kind of wild. We’ve never had a complaint! They are so accommodating and the dine-in area is so big so you can sit away from people if you feel the need 😜”

“Great atmosphere loved the company.”

“This little cafe is a blast from the past. The food came out fast, hit and delicious. The atmosphere wasn’t the only thing out out a eta gone by. The prices were amazing. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. Best Breakfast in town and faster than fast food.”

“The food here is always amazing and full of flavor. The wings are cooked to perfection with their homemade ranch that taste so good you could drink it lol. Crab ragoon pizza is better than Fongs in Des Moines.”

“It is nice and clean and they friendly and kind and the cooks know how rock and get the food I would recommend them any day of the week”

“always good food and friendly waiters”

“My family and I have been eating at this establishment for years and will continue to do so! We have never had any complaints. They swap out dishes depending on the day of the week but there are always the expected foods such as Rangoon, rice, egg rolls etc. The atmosphere is excellent as well as the service and prices.”

“It is what you'd expect from a bk, the playground needs updated tho for sure

Kid-friendliness: The playground says it is for children up to 11 but I assure you an 11 year old would more than likely be bored? my 5 year old gets bored there”

“Went out to get a quick breakfast and Rob was working the driver through. He is always so cheerful and happy, which brings a smile to my face with every visit. I always look forward to seeing him when I visit. Thank you Rob for always giving me a cheerful experience.”
