Restaurants in Pella

“Came here for breakfast and it was great! I got an acaí bowl with peanut butter and the flavors blended well together. In my past experiences with bowls, it has come with blueberries, strawberries, and banans. For this bowl, the only topping (excluding the acai and oats) was banana. If blueberries and strawberries are important for you, be sure to add those to the bowl. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant!”

“plenty to chose from. Good atmosphere, great place for social activities. the bartenders are knowledgeable in what they are serving.”

“Excellent Pizza and service. We were just passing through while at Knoxville for the Sprint Car Nationals. Walking through town and picked this place. It was very good, so glad we stopped! Friends of ours had hand tossed and we had thin crust.”

“Love this place! Great service amazing food and drinks. Every time we go its so good we have never had one bad experience here. Would recommend to anyone looking for good food and drinks!”

“Enjoyed a late lunch here recently. Friendly staff, relaxing environment with great music, and delicious food. Will definitely be visiting again on my next trip to Pella. Highly recommend the fries cooked in beef tallow and Brussel sprouts with cheese curds. 🤤”

“Bingo is a blast! Definitely recommend!”

“Amazing. Noah helped us out on this visit but we have always been impressed with the customer service.

They have a kids area for coloring and games.”

“Love it always stop here👍”

“Kyle and his team are amazing and friendly. They answer all your questions and the drinks are delicious! I’m hooked and grab a tea every weekend now!”

“The food here is really good! The prices are a little high, though. There isn't a lot of seating for big groups.

They have monthly specials that are featured on the little board by the register.

I ordered the Italian Grinder. It's really good, but they need to add banana peppers to it and it would be perfect!

Each plate gets a pickle spear and it is so delicious!”

“Love this place!!! Whether you are new or old, you will always be welcome!!”

“We are from out of town. Food was decent, might have been our choices as other dishes seen looked good. my negative review is based on the fact that I handed the waitress the folder with the ticket and my card. 10 mins passed and she didn't come back. I watched her take other orders etc. When I asked her for my card- " what, you don't have it?" over 10 mins later her and 3 others also could not locate it. It was finally found after they asked me several more time if I was sure I didn't have it. *edit they did reach out a few hours later and adjusted my bill*”

“The Pella Pizza Ranch was a great place for our family lunch. There were 14 of us and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. Something for everyone. We will definitely be back!”

“went in and the food was good. service was friendly, there was an issue with one sandwhich coming out later than the others - which they let us know asap - so then they gave use a cup of some really good black cherry almoretto ice cream.”

“Absolutely the best Mexican food! Great staff and fast service. We have never had a bad meal and we visit this location quite often. Highly recommended”

“This bakery offers a wonderful selection of delicious pastries, bread, and other desserts. We picked out a delightful raspberry danish. So tasty! The staff is so friendly and welcoming.”

“I live in DSM but it's worth the drive to Pella to get these goodies. The cookie cake is my favorite bc of the frosting. It's not super sweet to where you can't eat it all. I tried their cupcakes finally also recently, and they're so good too. It's a good thing they're in Pella and I'm in DSM but I do wish I could eat here more often. Lol”

“This coffee shop is hands-down one of my favorites! They’re always rolling out new and creative menu items, so there’s constantly something fun to try. Everything I’ve had has been delicious, and the service is consistently amazing—friendly, welcoming, and fast. You can really tell they care about their customers. Highly recommend!”

“Always delicious soups and bread. Best bread in town. Great atmosphere. Great coffee. Love coming to The Bread Board! Highly recommend!”

“Caring, helpful folks. Great with ideas to find for someone special.”

“Everything is so delicious 😋”

“The ladies in here are always so cheerful and helpful! They can make almost any of their drinks iced, it's a great place to get a COLD drink on these hot summer days. I also like that their drinks don't seem guite so sweet and syrupy as some places I've been but if you want more syrup, they'll bump it up!”

“Best staff ever! Always super friendly and there’s little to no wait time. The food and drinks are great but the employees are what make this one of my favorite places to get coffee.”

“We are currently here on vacation and have eaten at George's twice. Best pizza ever! Tonight we got there right as they opened, so it didn't take long at all to get our food. They do get super busy though. Trust me..its worth the wait.”

“Chick-fil-A in Pella is always a great choice! Tonight we had amazing service (as always) and our food was ready quick yet piping hot when arrived.”

“Food at pella Iowa location is excellent compared to the Grinnell Iowa location and the staff at the Pella location is more friendly than in Grinnell Iowa location. I highly recommend the Pella location as a great dining out experience to everyone I know.”

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5-Star Subway Experience!

I walked into this Subway thinking, "Just a sandwich," but what I got was a culinary journey of epic proportions. Josue and Trsyten weren’t just sandwich artists, they were architects of flavor, sculptors of satisfaction, and all around legends of the lunch line.

Josue greeted me with the kind of enthusiasm that can only come from someone who genuinely loves bread and a good sub. His moves were swift and confident, like a ninja with a turkey slicer. Meanwhile, Trsyten was meticulously layering the veggies like they were creating a masterpiece for the Louvre. Who knew cucumbers could look so elegant?

They even cracked a few jokes while toasting my sub, which was the perfect blend of crispy and warm just like their personalities! Trsyten even remembered my love for extra pickles without me having to ask. Now that’s the kind of VIP treatment that’ll keep me coming back!

If every Subway experience was like this, I’d happily eat my weight in footlongs every week. Kudos to Josue and Trsyten for making lunch the highlight of my day! 👏👏”

“Today I looked online to decide where to have lunch. I was so excited to see the Chicken Pecan and grape salad sandwiches were back! I begged my husband to skip the usual and go to Arbys since I have not had that sandwich for at least a couple years! We got to Pella and went in only to find out they did not have my favorite sandwich. My husband was ready to walk out when I pointed out the Reuben Sandwich. I must say that in spite of my disappointment, the lady at the register was super nice and offered excellent service. I do not know her name but she turned a one star visit into a 4 star. (The advertised sandwich would have made it a 5 star) Service was great, food was good and it was a pleasant clean atmosphere. update: I just found our receipt and see the employee name is Cynthia. Thank You!”

“We had an absolutely amazing experience at Yamato Steakhouse. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were treated with warmth and genuine hospitality that made us feel like valued guests. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that not only the adults but also the children in our group felt comfortable and welcome. The food—absolutely phenomenal! The steak was cooked to perfection, tender and bursting with flavor. The shrimp was equally impressive. Everything was fresh, well prepared, and beautifully presented. We also appreciated how clean and well-maintained the restaurant was.”

“Cute coffee house with food served mornings until 1 PM. After that, they have pastries and refrigerated sandwiches. Cappuccino was delicious as well as the cold turkey sandwich on a yummy croissant.”

“Ordered a Grande size drink expecting it to be a large drink considering Grande is BIG or LARGE. When the barista handed me the drink through the window I thought they had given me the wrong size!! Like what is this?? I literally said “THIS is a GRANDE?? This is literally the smallest big cup I have ever seen.” I finished it before I made it to the on-ramp to get on 163 east. WOW. Turns out, Grande is the next size up from their smallest size which you’ll never guess the name of the smallest….its “TALL” wtf?????? I’m sure it’s not weird to the people who are familiar to this coffee shop, but I am not and I will never be able to wrap my head around these sizes. It’s just sooooo dumb!!!! lol the drink was alright but not amazing. The service was friendly and fairly quick considering they just opened. I would maybe go back sometime but I’m not in a huge hurry. Oh, I also got a blueberry muffin that was delicious. All together with the “grande” drink and the muffin it was like $11 and some change. Scooters has way better sizing options and their prices are better, AND the coffee tastes better. I just wanted to see what the hype was about..still not sure if I know.”

“When Jimmy John’s goes above and beyond to cheer you up and bring delicious food!”

“We’ve always had great experiences! The kids love it, the workers are kind, positive, patient and happy.”

“What to do on a cold Iowa February day? Smokey Row Hopping it is...☕ We set out to visit all 14 Smokey Rows. We found Pella Smokey Row top of our list. The cozy atmosphere, top notch coffee, extensive menu with breakfast all day was everything we could imagine. What made this particular Smokey Row, above the rest, was the fun loving, friendly, energetic and knowledgable staff. My only regret is I forgot their names. Thank You for a fabulous Smokey Row experience.”

“Stopped by this Taco John's while traveling through Pella. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. We ordered two Boss Salads. They were well prepared and we received them quickly.

We had an excellent experience at this Taco John's.”
