“In August 2025, we visited the Fireside Winery at the Amana Colonies in Amana, Iowa. The Fireside Winery has colorful outdoor glass bottle sculptures on display. The Amana Colonies are a collection of 7 Colonies of German Heritage in Central Iowa, and they are not Amish. The Fireside Winery was fun to visit and see the outdoor decorations. Besides the Fireside Winery store, there are also many quaint shops and buildings, and they are all clean and well-maintained. Apparently, the Amana Colonies draws the highest number of visitors of any tourist attraction in Iowa. We greatly enjoyed visiting the Fireside Wine, which is part of the Amana Colonies.”

“White Cross Cellars is truly a treasure. The experience was made all the more special by the owner, who is absolutely enchanting and incredibly approachable. It was an absolute delight speaking with him—his passion for wine and the story behind his ventures added so much depth to the visit. You can tell he pours his heart into every bottle.

The wines were wonderful, but it’s the personal touch and genuine hospitality that really set this place apart. We left not just with a few bottles, but with a real appreciation for the craft and care behind them. Would love to come back again soon!”

“Edelweiss has great selection, great quality, and very friendly people. 10/10 recommend!”

“Love this place really good come down and see for yourself”

“The food was good but your bartender connie was very rude. She seemed to be drinking a lot and agitated when we asked for anything. I guess I feel when you come to a place you want to feel welcome and have fun. we felt we were more of a hassle for her to help or be friendly. Definitely don't want her to wait on us again.”

“A great place,great friends and so much fun. Curtis is doing a great job.”

“This wasn’t always my favorite winery in the Amanas, only because they have a lot of sweet fruit wines and I like things somewhat dryer. But, they launched their Fireciders and those are incredible and the reason why I come here now!! Great staff every time we come here as well.”

“The cauliflower crust pizza was so good! I was so glad to see it on the menu 😁”

“Beautiful backyard setting wirh delicious ciders! The staff was not very welcoming when we arrived. The kirchen did close before the posted time so I'd be sure to ask when you arrive. We definitely enjoyed the beautiful setting and drinks!”

“this review is for the new Rexburg location in Mother hibbards have stopped in there four times within the last week to try the food and they never have anything in the warmer. no pizzas nothing. I went in there tonight. no food in the warmer. the kids that work there are sitting on the floor up against the wall doing absolutely nothing. Do they only serve Pizza at lunch and zero food for dinner? there's nothing anywhere that says what times they have food what time? they don't have food so tonight I went from hangar 54 right over to Valley wide and got me a personal pizza and now I'm headed to work.”

“Great coffee, reasonable prices, website is easy to navigate, and they always deliver same day to me (locally). Haven’t purchased different coffee since trying it.”

“We asked DK’s Eatery to provide a meal for about 35-40 on short notice. We appreciated them working with us and they were great to accommodate, especially with only 3 staff working. The food was simple but delicious. Even had a wheel chair ramp to help get into the eatery. We will be back to try out more of their menu.”

“it is the place on Back Street, Amana to visit. Connie's a life long friend!”

“From Alabama and came thru Amana several years ago and on just a spur ate here on a business excursion. I have never eaten at a place that was so good from service and atmosphere to the delicious food. I’m willing to go back to Amana just to eat here again. So good”

“It's a Jimmy Johns so a lot will be the same from every location so I'll stick to what makes it different: Staff are friendly and quick to make your offer. Lobby and bathrooms are spotless. Ingredients appear to be super fresh.

Parking: There's just street parking might be hard to find a close spot depending on the time of day.

Kid-friendliness: They have kid sized foods. I believe I saw a high chair.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of spending time with the owner of this bakery—both in her kitchen and as a customer. We’ve even sold her cakes at my restaurant, and they’ve always been a hit. Her pies, pastries, cakes—and even her homemade dog treats—are all top-notch. She runs the bakery with the help of her family, and the love and care they put into their work really shows. As for the prices, they’re completely reasonable for the quality and care that goes into each item. Support local!”
