However, a real turnoff was the N-word used 3 or 4 times, once by an off duty worker (waitress/cook/co-owner?) while I was there. They can't help how the customers talk, but employees, even off the clock? Not cool. It was supposed to be a great night; while my politics is ever-evolving, my family in Iowa had just gotten to high five Don Jr at an event which, whoever I vote for now was darn cool that day! This visit kinda put a damper on our fun. We don't talk that way.

Just tell us if you're short help... or turn us away... Waitress took drink order but forgot my water. She told me that but never brought any to me. I finally went to the bar & got it myself. Jalapeño popper dip was tasty. Friend had chicken strips & fries. Fries good but strips inedible. They were incredibly salty-- meat & coating. I had a cup of tortilla soup-- good. Side salad small but fine. Brussel sprouts were tasty. Hubby had macaroni with hot honey chicken. Chicken was good but skimpy. Taco salad was good according to friend. Her hubby ordered a smashburger but got a steak sandwich served to him. It was ok. Great atmosphere. Lots of tvs. Waitress was pleasant. I believe they are short staffed.

Neat location and fun ambience with excellent service and tasty authentic foods. I was surprised at the amount of carry out business that happened while we were eating.

Not my favorite but I don't love pasta salads. Onion rings were great and were almost burnt but still great. Spinach dip was homemade and we enjoyed it.

I lunched at De Kelder at Strawtown recently to enjoy a quiet Saturday with friends during a…read moredreary, yet typical, Iowa winter day. We were greeted with friendly faces and the charming decor of an old, stately home converted for restaurant use. Seated next to a picture window so as to enjoy the subdued glow of the white, blustery powder of the snow outside, I ordered a gourmet coffee and chatted comfortably with my companions as the wait staff quietly and efficiently worked on preparing our orders in the kitchen. The food at De Kelder at Strawtown was delicious. It provided a gentle and palatable cuisine of smoked meats and grilled wheatberry bread. These tasty orders, combined with its relaxed atmosphere, were the perfect backdrop to an otherwise simple, ordinary Saturday afternoon in Pella, Iowa. The only downside to the dining experience of De Kelder at Strawtown was its absence of selection on its lunch menu. But what this restaurant lacks in quantity it more than makes up for in the quality of its existing dishes. I highly recommend this local treat.
