Also a must-try is the sweet potato casserole. Pretty much dessert but that's what I loved about it. Smoked meat and sides are made fresh daily. This place has that friendly Iowa vibe with great service and that extra dedication and love they bring to the table. Very reasonably priced too! Worth the stop! Can't wait to go back.

Not normally the type to leave a review, but as a former chef and smash burger lover i had to try…read moreout there menu items. Got the classic Cosmic Smash Burger and a large fry. The lines were long which is either a good sign or a bad sign. The chef looked like he mostly knew what he was doing, and he was very courteous when taking my order. Unfortunately his cooks didn't look like they knew what was up. The burger was smashed well, the cosmic sauce was good, not a huge fan of diced raw onions on a burger, (should be thin rings,) but overall the burger was good. Only complaint on the burger itself was the, "brioche bun," which I saw came in grocery packs. That's gotta kill his food cost, and will yield a much lower quality than if he were to get something like Rotella buns. The only real complaint though, the hand cut fries. I could see he had an employee cutting the potatoes shortly before they were fried, huge mistake! Good french fries need to be soaked (pro tip: do 50/50 vinegar and water plus some salt so the fries absorb more moisture,) then par cooked. Either a lower temp deep fry, or covered in oil and oven baked. Once they are par cooked they can be cooled in big tubs, then when the fries are ready to be cooked the cook time will be even more than half the time it took them. The employee he had frying the fries had the oil temperature lower than 300 F, he then told her to crank the heat up which was good but it was too late. The oil needs to be 350-375, with lower temperatures the inside of the fry was over cooked and mushy by time the outside got any kind of browning and they didn't even crisp up. If you do the proper prep work, your pick up time will be so much faster and will yield a much better French fry. I decided to leave this review because I really want them to succeed, it looks like they just need some quality training for their cooks and a few changes to properly prepare their food. Best of luck.

The people were kind, the decor was adorable, and food is prepared fresh. Most importantly the food was actually great! I had the karaage skewers and it was very fairly priced for the quality and portion size, bonus points for them using authentic Japanese yakitori skewers. I wasn't a huge fan of the spicy mayo but I'm not a big sauce guy. Just personal preference. Seeing a business like this in a small town warms my heart :) visited for a wedding and was pleasantly surprised.
