I'm not sure if they take credit cards, but I'm yet to spend more than $5 unless it's a 2 person order! I need to watch my gluttony considering their prices lol

This place is great!! Ice cream is soft serve, but just a bit harder. Doesn't melt quickly like…read moreother places. They serve it in Styrofoam cups so it won't melt right away on those hot days. Definitely will stop there again when I'm in Fairfield. Not open in the winter, so plan ahead.

I had the mini breakfast off the kids menu because I wanted to have room for a caramel roll. Boy am I glad I did. Sticky and gooey with a sprinkling of pecans be sure to order one. The place was super busy as the town Labor Day events were going on. The town square was full of vendors and people. Even so the wait staff was pleasant and efficient. We will go back if we travel this road again.

We had a hurricane...with a side of gravy. Was absolutely perfect!!! Thank you Miss K'sread more

It's the local favorite for a reason!…read more Graham's Ice Cream is truly the backbone of Ottumwa, IA. There is always customers here no matter the time or weather. They have very fair prices and dish out huge servings. My personal favorite is the peanut butter shake, but you can never go wrong with a crunch cone! Make sure to have cash on hand because they are a cash only establishment.

Presuming our son ends up going to Truman, we will be back. To start, the rolls are fresh baked every day and served with local honey butter. They are amazing! Easily the best bread I have ever had. They are a cross between a yeast roll and a biscuit with a hint of sweetness...incredible! My son had the chicken piccata which, though the portion was a bit small, was extremely flavorful. He ate every bit. I had the prime rib sandwich. The portion was large with plenty of provel cheese, onions and mushrooms. It was also delicious. My wife got a giant pile of roast pork served with warm apples and a sweet glaze. The pork was fall apart tender and the glaze added a punch of flavor. All 3 of us had the home fries as the side. These were the crispiest potatoes I have ever had in my life. 10/10. Out waitress/hostess had plenty to do (I think she may have bend doing kitchen prep as well) but she was friendly, welcoming and accommodating. A few tips: the restaurant is very small with few staff (like one person who is the hostess and waitress for the entire place). Reservations strongly recommend. And maybe don't come here if you're in a hurry. Service was not fast but it's clearly because they are taking great care with the food and preparing everything fresh to order. The menu changes frequently so check their Facebook for the latest. All of the food is made fresh and they do run out. Book early in the evening if there is something you have your heart set on.

We came in from out of town to celebrate my cousin's graduation. A total of three tables were…read moreoccupied. My aunt called on two separate occasions to make reservations for our larger group. We walked in on the night of my cousin's graduation to celebrate a huge milestone. We walked in and the hostess stated she didn't have our reservation, another lady who was either the owner or manager came up hot and bothered and was EXTREMELY rude. On a hospitality level I give her a -50. She very rudely stated she didn't have our reservation and continued to be awful as we tried to clarify that we had made a reservation. Even if she could have been nice and apologetic about the reservation misunderstanding, I wouldn't have stayed to eat here and support this business. People need to learn how to treat other humans nicely. This lady was NOT nice, one of the rudest restaurant encounters I've ever had.

This is an adorable little shop located on the main strip of Keokuk. This little pastry shop has…read morebeen in business in Keokuk since 1967 and for it to still be in business today you know they have to be doing something right! Stan Waldron started this business back in 1948 in Anamosa and then moved with his family to Keokuk in 1967 and opened this location. He has since passed away but his family has taken over and it's business as usual. They make anything from pies to cakes, cookies and the ever famous creme horns. There is a collage on the wall of their creme horns being eaten all over the world! Pictures from Berlin, Madrid, the White House and the Grand Canyon to name a few. It's been said that creme horns from this bakery shop have been eaten on every continent except Antarctica! So it's quite obvious what I came here for, the creme horns! I was not disappointed at all. I ended up getting a half dozen so I would have some to take home also. The outer layer was so crispy flakey and just a hint of sweetness and the creme filling was amazing! Not too sweet, just enough. If this place were any closer to my house I'd be there every week to get treats! As far as payment, they accept cash and check only so prepare yourself for that. They also have limited hours. They are only open Thursday Friday and Saturday. Definitely check them out if you are ever in this area!

I can't thank the staff enough for going the extra mile. Especially since it made my sister ugly cry!!
