When you walk in it has a gas station meets diner sort of feel. I ordered the chicken salad and cheese balls with a blue moon. The best, most unexpected part was going through the little saloon doors to the back. There's seating available with Amish made wooden furniture and lots of rustic, vintagey decor. What.a.gem. The back room has a door to a patio with more seating, a huge fenced in back yard space where you can sit around a fire, there's a place for a band to play, the coolness continues. Only in a small town could you get away with having legit barrel fire pits. I haven't experienced this place in its prime- late night, bands playing, fires burning, tires spinning but I hope to. The food is comparable to dinner food both in quality and in price. Two take away notables from the locals, the fried chicken dinner night is not to be missed as is the free chicken wings with a purchase of a bucket of beer.

And you can sit and eat it in their restaurant style diner area! What!? Delicious steak, meatloaf, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, cheesy potato casserole, the list of available food goes on and on and something different every day. I had two large pieces of meatloaf, potatoes, homemade Mac and cheese, large helping of green beans and a dinner role & fountain drink for under $15!! What is going on here! I ate there three days in a row and I am now a loyal Hy-Vee customer. Do they have t shirts or any other commemorative swag? This place is great!!! So forget over priced poisonous junk fast food- you can walk in here at lunch and quickly get a delicious healthy meal with friendly service. I salute you Hy-Vee!!

This place is literally legendary. Home of the famous Dutch letters and all kinds of Dutch…read moregoodness, Jaarsma Bakery is the kind of place that takes you back to the old school in the best possible way. With a staff dressed in traditional Dutch outfits and fresh pastries filling an entire room, Jaarsma smells and looks about as close to bakery heaven as you can get. The sheer amount of pastries, breads, cookies, and treats is impressive. You can also grab various foods and sides, along with a great collection of Dutch products that won't disappoint. I arrived around midday, and some of the favorites were already gone or running low, which probably tells you everything you need to know. I was on a mission for the letter "S" pastries and the cream-filled bars, and they absolutely delivered. Since I had flown into Pella on a private plane, I also ordered some thank-you treats to bring home for a few supportive people in my life. It was the perfect place to find something unique and memorable. If you come to Pella, you come here. It's really that simple. Do not miss Jaarsma....your stomach will thank you!

Jaarsma is deserving of this 4-star review based on its size, selection and general quality. Please…read moreunderstand that's not a bad thing. They did a nice job on the Dutch letter and Chicago Cubs frosted sugar cookie that I tried. I did find the place to be overrated compared to the mass' reviews and the legend that it has outside of Pella. But no doubt, you kind of "have to" go there if you're in Pella. Hopefully a 5-star experience awaits you.

The Absolute Best Place in Knoxvegas to get Ice Cream…read more The chocolate marshmallow malt is amazing, I got the large and was shocked by the size of it. It's like a half pint, had to put it in the freezer for later. The cookie dough siberian is an excellent choice, the ice cream here has an excellent flavor. The cookie dough is real cookie dough chunks, not those little pieces you get at other places. The tenderloin is excellent, fried when you place your order so it's nice and hot. The Indian Taco is fantastic, if you know tasty tacos it's similar, but the meat has better seasoning and no beans. The shell is perfect and has the perfect amount of toppings. This is one of the top places in Knoxvegas, they don't have many places, but glad to have this place.

Great mom and pop store for the locals!…read more My husband and I have been bringing deer meat here for the last few years to get our return on deer sticks and other fun fixings from hunting season! Usually it takes a few months to get your desired products back; in 2024 we received them a few weeks early and this year we received them a little behind schedule. Either way, they are always better than expected and the flavors are amazing! They've always got plenty of in-stock meats to choose from while you're in the store, so be sure to look while you're there to take home something new to try for dinner! Definitely worth the drive from Des Moines!

It was a bit busy with all the volleyball players and fans, but the staff pushed through the rush and did it with smiles. I ordered a Sweet Georgia Brown Mocha and it was delicious! It was sweet enough to tame the coffee taste for those of us that like that, and the hint of honey was amazing. With good coffee and a great ambiance outside and inside, Smokey Row Coffee makes for a great pit stop if you're going through or staying in Pella. They also have some great merch for purchase if you want a souvenir.
