Favorite place in town for a full meal or just drinks! Hands down best cocktails in Pella here.

Excellent food. Outstanding service and one of the most extensive bars i have ever seen. Highly recommended.

I hope they have improved because they have so much potential. The building is delightful, the meat is wonderful (smoked pork chops are DELICIOUS), and prices are not out of line. Unfortunately the overall experience is disappointing. The sides are very pedestrian. Do they get the salad from a cellophane bags at Walmart? Potatoes are over cooked and not that hot, and veggie sides are uninspired. They do have a couple of good drinks, which would be fun on the rooftop deck, but they are pricey and not exciting served in the unimpressive setting of the second floor dining room. They just don't live up to the charm that you see from the outside, and their spectacular smoked meats get lost in the boring "diner" feeling setting.

Food was really good, atmosphere was great. They offer an adult only section which was amazing! Owner's are great people!! Thank you for providing a great dining experience

Fabulous cocktails and a great environment. Try the smoked maple old fashioned. Delicious! This even though the regular bartender was out. Friendly service. If you're just nipping in for a drink, sit in the alcove to watch the activity on the square below!

Thursday lunch around 1 pm wasn't too busy! We had tried another time when the line was too long!You order at the counter, find a seat, get your drinks & chips if you ordered them and wait for your number to be called. I had the dried beef sandwich with Gouda cheese on raisin bread. I didn't add mayonnaise, but I would next time. It was surprisingly tasty. I also had a cup of hamburger chowder soup and it really hit the spot. I ended up taking half of my sandwich home. The pickle was a nice addition on the side.Friend had what she said, was the best chicken salad she think she's ever had! It wasn't a really large sandwich, but it was just enough. What a great little spot for lunch. It wasn't real expensive either.It's a very cute place with a brick on the walls and wooden tables and floor. A very nice place for lunch. I'd like to come back and sit on the rooftop a nice weather.

Best steak I've had in a long, LONG time. My wife said her salmon was excellent as well. Presentation was classy with appropriated sized portions. We will go back many times in the future. Well done!

I went here Saturday evening for my birthday. I invited my 16 year old son to join us. Little did I know this would exclude us from dinning upstairs in the dinning room. Instead we were seated in the lunch area for the meat market. It was 15 degrees out so every time to the door opened a cold draft blew across all the patrons dinning. Everyone was sitting in their winter coats, I even saw one gal at the table accords from me who left their stocking cap on. It was freezing!!! Why aren't teenagers allowed in the upstairs? It's no different at Applebee's....they can handle it. Secondly I came here to get a ribeye for my birthday. After we ordered, a few minutes later we were informed they were out of ribeyes. How is a meat market out of ribeyes? Next, I had to ask for a drink menu because we were seated without one. After a round of $9 mules I asked the staff for info on the whiskey flights as it was not included. The staff had to look it up on the computer and even after that when I asked them what it included they still didn't know. Lastly the kitchen staff was playing loud music in the kitchen from Eminem to Bohemian Rhapsody. I didn't mind the music or their singing along but it clashed with the music being played in the upstairs dinning room. It was like listening to two songs at the same time, only the kitchen was singing along. I wish they would have had some speakers in the lunch dinning area to drown out the other songs. The only saving grace for tonight, was the food was excellent. My son and I had to shift from the ribeye to the strip, but it was amazing. Cooked to perfection. My wife had the apple burger and said it was fantastic. Even the sides were good. Just wish everything else would have gone smoother for my birthday dinner.

Excellent!! Super friendly staff helping me pick out food that satisfied my food allergies. The building has such historic charm. A definite must visit place in Pella!

Great lunch venue. Food was good. Simple and quick.
What a fun afternoon we spent in Pella. Toured the windmill, watched the klokkenspiel show, got pastries from not one but two Dutch bakeries! Then we had delicious burgers for dinner on the second floor of the Brewhuis. Looked out over the main square where they had a farmer's market going on. Tried the "Dutch Avalanche" burger with Pella bologna (made next door at Int Veld's butcher shop), smoked ham and melted gouda cheese. So unique and delicious!

The Pickle was fantastic!The sandwiches on the other hand were embarrassingly small, overpriced, and underwhelming. Amazing that the lack of choices in a little town like Pella allows businesses like this to stay alive. Two stars is a gift just because I have shopped next door for years.

I love the sandwiches and are a nice small shop with a great lunch menu. Worth the stop for a bite.

How could something so simple taste so good? Must be the butter or is it the Gouda? I don't know but I had something I never would have tried before and it was delicious. A dried beef sandwich with Gouda and butter on thinly sliced raisin bread. Oh so good and light. That with a cup of hearty split pea soup and I was in heaven! Thank you Butcher's Brehuis, I'll be back!

Their pulled pork sandwich is really good. Although the portion size was small it's also dense and filling. I will have to come back for the bread pudding and other Dutch delicacies.
