Lived in iola most my life, and crystals has ALWAYs been my go to place. The food has never dipped in quality, and anytime I have issues, the servers and cooks were always nice and fixed it for me. The only issue I've had are the prices, but again, everywhere has increased their prices. Whatever small town politics yall are hung up on doesn't change how great it is ❤️

They served me the best food I've had in a very long time. The drinks were good, the food was fantastic, and the atmosphere was perfect! I had a hazelnut iced coffee and a frisco burger with a side of loaded fries. The server was so nice and welcoming. I’d definitely recommend coming here if you are in the area.

If you Love pie, THIS IS a MUST STOP! SO many choices, and the pieces are huge! Everyone working there had big smiles for their customers, and really hustled to take good care of everyone. We'll be back!!
Food...scratch made and delicious. Had the Farmers Omelette. Service.....friendly, speedy and outstanding. Atmosphere....typical diner filled with locals and I love that. Pie?!?!?! I wanted a piece of every one! I went with Door County Cherry and it lived up to the pie hype! Phenomenal. Great coffee to boot!!!!

We came to town for the Car show this past weekend. We asked people where the best hometown cooking is at and everyone said "Crystal Cafe" So we went on in and the place took me back to when I was a young kid in Grand Rapids, Minnesota at a place called Kremer's. They greeted us at the door, like they seen us 100 times before.
Our waitress, was such a great person, let us joke around with her just like we knew her from next door. Food was quick, and AMAZING! I was so full, I didn't get a piece of pie, but next year's trip we will. Thank God people still have these types of places open for us regular folks to sit down, enjoy a great meal and some great atmosphere in a small town! I highly recommend stopping and getting a bite!
