Atmosphere is awesome, the repurposed barn was done beautifully!…read more We were met and seated immediately, drinks came shortly after. We ordered and looked around a bit. Food took a bit to get to us, but the waitress made sure we had drinks while we waited. Food came out and it was very good! Price was reasonable, and experience was great! We will definitely come back again! Totally worth the drive!

Very unique dining establishment set in the rolling farmland of Jones County, Iowa…read more An old barn building has been transformed into a very trendy dining spot, with three levels. It is a rustic setting, but don't think the décor of Cracker Barrel, it is much nicer than that. Try the upper level outdoor deck for a ideal view of the Iowa agricultural heaven. The menu is varied, with something for everyone. Our party had four different entrees, with remarks like 'very good' and 'ok'. French Onion soup was pretty good for starters, made with swiss cheese, my preference is mozzarella, but still tasty. We shared the Pig Sty dessert, which was large enough for 4 to share. Specials on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sunday afternoons. Our server, Jordan, was excellent. Attentive, but not overbearing at all, willing to explain the menu, and give some info on the barn itself. He also answered our question about the upstairs, reservable, Lover's nook, which is quite unique. He also asked how our food was at the end of the meal, and...he actually asked what they could do to make a dish better. That is a plus. Will most likely return to try some of the other dishes, being as it is a very nice pastural drive. If the food can consistently match the atmosphere I could bump up the rating without question.

By 6:15 folks were lined up at the door waiting to order food and tables were filling up. There's no table service so be prepared to line up and order at the kitchen counter. Good selection of food with bbq ribs on Friday and Saturday nights. Our orders: 1/2 rack ribs with ribbon fries and coleslaw. Verdict: excellent. Tender ribs, 5 meaty bones. Heavy rub spicing and you can get extra bbq sauce on the side. Ribbon fries and slaw are both good. Taking home 2 ribs for lunch. My wife has flatbread pepperoni pizza. Always good. 8 squares served on a "paddle." Nice and cheesy with one slice pepperoni on each square. Plenty in the serving, taking home 1/2 the pizza so it is shareable unless you are a big eater. Looking forward to our next visit!

We staggered in separately so that may be why the server decided to only service 3-4 people at a time at our table of about 16. We were ok with that but things did get forgotten, such as a drink that took way to long and a few requests for water. The place was rather busy for a Saturday lunch time. However, we never felt crowded in the roomy seating area inside. I saw someone with a pizza at the bar and felt I needed to give it a try. A 14 inch pizza just cheese was $12 and $2.00 for each topping, sounded like a great deal. It was more than enough for me and my +1, with 3 pieces for a snack later. I would say the taste was very good but not something I needed to go 1 hour out of my way for. If I was in town, I would get it again though. Someone next to me ordered the burger and it looked like it had fresh ingredients and was a hefty size. All in all I would go back if I was in the area.

Three of us were finished eating before rh other two even got food. Not enough wait staff on a Saturday evening. One was waiting tables and bar tending . Then there was also a waitress. Unless you order alcohol, they won't be in a hurry to help you. Ridiculous. Food was good. Service was completely lacking. After an hour, they came back to the table to take the two remaining people's orders again. Too late to eat by the time they got their food.
