Sports Bar with Bar Food…read more I asked for crispy fried, and was given crispy fries. I asked for bacon on my patty melt, and I received good bacon on my sandwich. The Swiss cheese had great flavor. My companion had a quesadilla that was bulging with a ton of filling. My only complaint: There were flies that I kept having to shoo away.

My friend mentioned this place to me before we went to Decorah and I'm glad I took her suggestion…read more I had a really good salad and my husband's burger looked excellent. It wasn't as loud and boisterous as many sports bars can get. But the Vikings were not playing. So take that with a grain of rock salt. Our server and hostess were excellent! I simply loved how they both checked in with us regularly. Definitely on our return to on our next trip to Decorah.

Brayden promptly came and took our order as we were thirsty. All of the sudden, Clark joined us at the table and we had a quick discussion about beer. We then found out he was the owner. We discussed beer and he was very generous with his time and recommended what to try. We were extremely pleased with the beer. The food was top notch as well as we tried the burger of the month and a few pizzas. Will definitely be back if we are ever in the area. Highly recommend a stop!

This is one of those "destination" breweries that is as much about hosting events as it is making…read moregreat beer. That said, the beer tends to be excellent (if they have it on tap). It's an enormous, industrial-chic space and is built for events and charter busses. Their patio is dog friendly but you have to come inside to order at the bar after checking in. The food looked decent and the pretzel was ok. Standard, uninspired brewpub food for the most part. Worth noting that their beer list isn't up to date so we missed out on a few barrel aged things they said they had. Basically you have to get there on release day if you want any non-flagship dark beers. It's a nice one-stop shop on a road trip for food and beer but I don't think it's worth going out of the way for.

There are some good pizza places in Iowa and Mabe's is one of them…read more We started our meal with cheese garlic bread which was cheesy and toasty. Perfect for us who were a bit strung out from all the driving we had done. We selected the toppings and wow, it was very good. I wish we could have taken the pieces back to our cabin. The staff was amazing and very professional even when other guests were being unreasonable about where they wanted to sit. (A soccer team was seated in the large dining room.) Thank you Mabe's we will be back next time we are in Decorah.

We always order the cheeseburger pizza and the deluxe, and they're consistently amazing. Everything is cooked perfectly, the service is always friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. This time they even surprised me with a half-baked cookie for my birthday, which was such a thoughtful touch! Mabe's is the perfect place to bring your family, relax, and enjoy some truly delicious pizza. Can't wait for our next visit!

They have an amazing kids play area; when my 2-yo was done with his lunch, the play area kept him occupied while the rest of us finished eating. It also gave him a nice break in the middle of our road trip. The food here is good whether you have kids or not, and they have vegan options if you are vegan or just can't eat dairy or eggs. All in all, a great place for breakfast or lunch in downtown Decorah, especially with kids!
