Best Asian food in Belle Plaine!!…read more Discovered this gem a couple months back with my boyfriend who lives in town and we get it once a week now! My favorites are the barbecue pork bahn mi (it's so good) and the chicken fried rice! Ruben sandwich is also very good. Small business right in downtown and owned by a kind woman who is always there and cooks everything herself to order. Has seating room but we typically take to go. Bathroom is clean and tidy. But seriously try the bahn mi!!! It comes w the delicious pork, sliced cucumber and jalapeños, yummy garlic Mayo on a very crisp bun and a side of pickled carrot/radish that is amazing on the sandwich!! She also has siracha and chili oil self serve that are great additions.

Boxes stacked against the wall, some partially opened and haphazard. The bathroom was cold and dirty. What really p*issed me off is I bought a bottle of pop from the cooler. When I opened it later, down the road, in the car, it was FLAT. A brand new bottle of pop, flat. I checked the date on the bottle and it said 2022. Seriously?? I wasted a few dollars on a flat bottle of pop from two years ago. GROSS. So, how old was the bacon I ate?

Last night, we happened to be in the area and wanted dinner, so we decided to pop in and see what it was about. It was GREAT. It's hard to believe that the building is a former McDonald's - you walk in and there are white linen tablecloths, fine glassware, candles, and little flower vases. It is definitely a fine dining experience. And then we had the food. My husband had the Smoky Porkchop with the citrus rice. The pork chop was perfectly cooked and the citrus rice was incredibly tasty (I stole a mouthful!). I had the chimichurri steak with the garlic mashed potatoes. The chimichurri is a little sweeter than a traditional Argentine chimichurri, but that was a good thing. It was different and unexpected, but it completely worked. Service was attentive and our waiter was very good. It is a family-owned business, and it's great to see the generations working together to make the restaurant run. Thank you to The Belle's Bistro for a wonderful weeknight dinner. We will be back for date night!

There is plenty of street parking out front and around the building. We were greeted right away when we walked! The gentleman that helped us was so friendly! The service here was personable and gave small town vibes! So sweet! I would come back based solely on the service! I got a strawberry bubble tea and doughnut! Both were absolutely DELICIOUS!! I have tried tons of bubble tea places in the cities and this gives them all a run for their money! It was perfectly sweet and creamy! The pearls were also the PERFECT consistency. The doughnut was fluffy and fresh tasting! The frosting was also very tasty and was not overwhelming! I will definitely be back when I am in the area!!

The service was cheerful and helpful offering tastes and giving suggestions. The lemonade was incredible. I highly recommend adding bourbon. The chip dip was a little bland. Very sour cream forward.

If you have ever thought of a sugary item or looking for something nostalgic from the past, they will have it here. Prices are super reasonable. Ample parking. Service was friendly.

The haunted house was pretty nice, just spooky enough to make it fun without being over the top. They have a lot of activities for kids, from the corn maze to the pumpkin patch and farm animals that everyone seemed to enjoy. The donuts and adult drinks in the Country Store were wonderful. They also have a good selection of other snacks and local goodies worth checking out. Mary in the Country Store was great, friendly, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed. My wife and I will definitely be back again, and next time we'll bring our nieces and nephews so they can join in on the fun.

The thing is it's 3 adults & 1 child, paying $80 to get in to watch 1 child play is not worth it imo. Most of the activities are geared towards younger kids. They do have a free area in the common area. There's a smaller sweets store, bar & gift shop/cafe. All of it was pretty underwhelming. The sweet shop hardly had anything but caramel apples and few stuffed animals. It's still pretty early in the season so it's weird to see the space so empty same with the other shop/cafe. Not much going on. The cafe where you order food was odd looking. Like a counter in the back of a warehouse vibes. Floor was messy and just didn't look like somewhere you should eat out off. I got in like to grab a cider flight. There was one person working the bar but it was basic pours. The line stayed consistently busy. By time I got to the front ~15 min of waiting I was told they were out of the cups they needed for the flights so he told me he would flag me when they restocked them. I came back about 10 min later and they were restocking cups and the line was still consistently long. Never was flagged down and ended up waiting another 10 or so minutes in line. When I got to the front they were having issues with the payment system. Just wasn't my luck. I did end up getting my flight, 4 ciders, pretty good but I'm generally over the experience. I also got a cider float w/ a donut. I guess because they were so busy despite the menu saying one thing (that you can choose the cider flavor) they used a basic cider for all of them. It was decent. Overall not a place I would I'd want to adventure that far out for.

I bought a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream for coffee a while back and after I got home I noticed there's a "Best Taste By Date" that was 4 YEARS older than the current day! Those dates are typically a decent length of time to begin with so this could have been made when break dancing was still hip. The problem I have is when I asked to exchange my unopened bottle for a newer bottle the owner wouldn't let me and got rather snippy about it. I looked and found that ALL of his Baileys was old. Any place that doens't care about the customer like this doesn't get my money. Nuff Said.
