My wife and I came in tonight to give it a try since the change in concept for this building…read more Positives: The food was delicious, I had the chopped salad, my wife had the Cobb salad with shrimp and we got some riblets. Negatives: Almost everything else. I hope the owner sees this and is able to regain control of the restaurant before the staff completely ruins their investment. We arrived around 7:30 on a Monday night. We came in to a sign that said Please Wait to be Seated. We stood at the entrance for a bit, but the one employee we did see avoided eye contact and didn't acknowledge us. We did see someone in the bar area, so we decided to come in and sit at the bar. Some ambiance notes: No music was playing so all conversations and noises were intrusive into our dining experience . The multiple tvs were tuned to mostly regular tv shows with no captions. One tv was playing the bachelorette at a volume that made it so we heard every s and p that was said and about nothing else. No sports were on. The lights were as bright as a retail store. I told my wife it felt like we were eating in a Target. The worst part by far was the table of servers that were sitting in uniform drinking. On duty staff was hanging out at that table as well. Conversations revolved around getting drunk. How much money they didn't make, what guests were annoying, etc. The manager (I think off duty), was sitting at the bar involved in a drama filled FaceTime session with the volume up. Now I know all about her childcare issues. She also was bad mouthing the restaurant to her friend. Service was impacted by the amount of time the bartender spent interacting with the employee table. Quick note, one of the servers that was drinking was messing around with an order on the Toast POS handheld and the bartender was yelling across the room to cut it out and exit out of the order he had pulled up. We had almost no interaction from the bartender. She asked if we needed boxes while we were still in the middle of eating our meal. When we were ready to go it took some effort to get our check, because she was hanging out at the employee table. The whole experience made it likely that we won't return, although we would consider getting food to go. What really needs to happen is a culture change with your staff before it's too late, probably involving some personnel changes including the manager. Right now the foxes are running the hen house. If things don't change soon, I would set the over/under for going out of business at 6 months.

I'm really perplexed by the local reputation of Rabbit's Tavern among some people…read more I was visiting Grinnell from Philadelphia for 48 hours, because my band was playing at the college. As I interacted with different locals on Thursday after my arrival, asking for local recommendations of bars and restaurants, some people actively advised me not to go to Rabbit's Tavern. This made me want to go see what all the fuss was about. I showed up at Rabbit's Tavern on Thursday late afternoon. It happened to be $1 draft pints of Bud and PBR. Hung out for a while and had a great experience, so much so what I went in for a nightcap after dinner. And then I returned twice on Friday. So that's 4 visits in two days. I met lots of really nice people. Drinks were cheap. The bathrooms were clean. The jukebox played a good mix of music, i.e. genres were not filtered out as they are at many bars, so I heard everything from heavy metal to country to rap. Service was solid. One of my friends who was traveling with me agrees with the five star rating. On Friday night, a group of us from Philly were supposed to go out with a group from Grinnell, and we said let's meet at Rabbit's Tavern. I was the first one there. As I sat there chatting with friendly locals, I got a text saying that the locals in our "party" wouldn't go to Rabbit's Tavern, so everybody was going to Solera instead. Except they showed up at Solera and it was closed. So everybody went to the generic bar at the hotel, which is the same as every other hotel bar in the world. I don't get it. Anyway, I had an awesome time at Rabbit's Tavern and would definitely come back if ever I find myself in Grinnell again.

He yelled at some man and he ended up leaving after like 2 drinks. It was the worst experience of being in a bar ever!!! I do not recommend going to Rabbits when Chace (or what ever his name is ) is working ! There were so many other people he was at as well. He was doing more shots than actually waiting on customers. I know I asked twi for a drink and he pr to help 2 other people then went to the bathroom and then asked if I wanted another drink! THIS was the WORST treatment I have ever experienced as a customer EVER!!!

Drew was the bartender and was both friendly and knowledgeable. This is a taproom only but Drew told us that any of the nearby restaurants would deliver food and offered us menus to view.

It's clean and the staff is very friendly. The bathrooms were very clean. The food was terrific! The prices are very, very reasonable.

Friends came and two of us had the best chicken wings! They're big, they're fresh, crispy on the outside... And a nice choices of sauces . The mango habanero was a pleasant surprise. I had a fry bread chicken sandwich and it was delicious! I had to bring half of it home. It came with fries. Other friend had a Philly cheesesteak. It had a really nice dipping au jus. The waitress was so nice and so much fun--attentive but not intrusive. The owner:manager was very nice and worked hard to get the TVs changed to match games people wanted to watch. So if you're in Marshalltown and want to go to a nice little spot with good drinks and great bar food, this is the place.

What a great place for Newtonians and visitors to enjoy…read more This quaint bar is located in the renovated Hotel Maytag, with it's entrance not far off "the square" (downtown). This charming bar offers a variety of red, white and specialty wine as well as a few beer options for the non wine drinkers. They are also the host of Maytag Dairy's retail cheese shop. We were greeted by a friendly young lady who made us a wonderful charcuterie board. There is a long and lovely bar that you can sit, or around 5 high top tables with comfortable chairs. I even noticed a selection of games at the end of the bar. My friend and I enjoyed a wonderful after work drink (or two) along with the charcuterie board and are excited to return. It has such a warm and relaxing atmosphere to relax and unwind.
