“Highlight of our day. Served by volunteers and reasonably priced delicious food..you can tell the pies are homemade. Check out their website for limited times they are open. Historical knowledge is everywhere❣️”

“Stopped here while in town for basketball games. Food was fresh and delicious! Huge menu with lots of options! Highly recommend the Rueben waffle fries, southwestern chx sandwich. Fries were hot and fresh - great ranch! Our entire group loved the food and small town friendliness! Our waitress was new - and she did great and made us feel welcome! We will be back!”

“Went there for footbal. Bartender was accommodating getting games on the TVS for us the view. Partons and bartender were very friendly.
My go-to bar when when I'm in town.”

“Awesome cakes that were beautifully decorated for my Aunt’s 90th birthday celebration! Thank you for making great tasting cakes!!”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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!”

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

“The only thing nice about this visit was the lady working the gift shop. Who came over and told the kids there was something for them to find in the gift shop and gave them a paper to write Santa a letter. The guy setting people gave us no estimate of time for how long it was gonna take . We waited and hour and 10 minutes. After we were sat we asked the waitress if we could put our food order in because we knew what we wanted and we didn't want to wait any longer. She rudely said can I just get the drinks , then after we gave her the drink orders she asked for the food order. She could have poileltly told us she had to put the drinks in first to go ahead with the order. My daughter got a sprite it was out of syrup tasted like just carbonated water we let the waitress know . She rudely told us will that just how it is so that's how its gonna taste. So fine get her a root beer then but also what the heck. Wait like another 25 minutes nothing. Doesn't come back with my daughter's replacement drink or the alcohol drink my friend had ordered ..finally we just decided to go up and pay for the drinks we had got and leave went up front to do so. An the guy told us we could just leave , and followed us out , utterly terrible service. Sharing this here since the owner decided to lie when responding to my review. No wait time was ever given. No one ever slammed there fist down an the waitress was beyond rude telling us can I just get the drinks when we told her we wanted to place our orders. She was rude when we told her the syrup was out on my daughter's drink and her response was well thats just how it comes out of of the machine so that's how its going to be .That was her response literally word for word for word . To us telling her it was out and needed to be changed .Was i can get u another one but it going to come out of the same machine. Thats why we had let her know it was out of syrup so someone could change it. Then not only did 25 minutes pass with her not bringing my daughter a replacement sprite or even a root beer because I had even said fine she will just take a root beer then . Before we decided to just leave. An pay for our drinks we. We went up to the front the guy told us we could just leave and followed us to the door while telling us merry Christmas. I hope they train there waitress better on how to be polite an talk to customers the response to be told a soda is out of syrup should not be well that just how it comes out of the machine so that's just how its gonna taste it should be let me fix that or if u don't know how to fix it then say that and give the option for them to choose a different drink.”

“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.”

“we sent a cold snowy night in Amana, the Electric Social Club was one of the only things open. Casey the bartender was welcoming and helpful. Great atmosphere, great service, and one of the best Classic Bourbon Old Fashions I have had in a long time. Great Job Casey we will be back - Group of 6 from MN/WI”

“I like about big g store I don't have to drive to far to go get our groceries they are so nice people and if you ever need help on finding things all u need to do is ask and they will help you”

“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”

“The food is served homestyle and deliciously homemade. We were on a bus trip and the service was fantastic! Thank you all from your Ohio friends.👍💯😀”

“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.”
