    Guacamole

    So annoyed. Asked for a side of guac and this is what I got. Be so for real. Literally playing in my face with this. Also the guac used to come in the same container as the nacho cheese, which is way bigger. Not sure when that changed. Not happy!!

    My husband worked at Taco John's in high school so we stop every chance we get, which isn't often enough since we only are around Taco John's when we are traveling. This is a great location. The people working greet you warmly and provide quick service. The food is consistently good. Potato Oles are delicious- you have to try them! My husband loves the Taco Bravo which is a soft taco and hard taco combined. I like the regular crispy tacos and also love the churros. They have a salsa bar which is a cool addition. We can't wait until we can visit again!

    Simple order: Beef & Potato Burrito combo with extra seasoning on the Potato Oles and nacho cheese for them.

    Good food, nice place, helpful staff. Very similar to the Cracker Barrel, but not commercialized.read more

    "Dedicated to the American Farmer." That is The Machine Shed's creed…read more Today (August 1st 2025) my wife and I stopped in for lunch, and I'm glad we did. It was our first visit so we weren't sure what to expect. I now know you can expect: friendly service, reasonable prices, and good food. When you walk in the front door it is a little confusing. There is a gift shop, and the restaurant is past the gift shop; but the hostess stand is in the gift shop. You also pay your dinning bill at the gift shop counter. The gift shop got very congested, but it was not a big deal and won't impact my rating. We started with a cup of French Onion Soup. It was very good, they top it with some thin french fried onions which was a nice twist. It has been awhile since I've been in Iowa and I was craving a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich. The sandwich was good but not up to Iowa standards. I'm accustomed to a breaded pork tenderloin that is pounded nice and thin and is way bigger than the bun. This was not pounded thin. It was a thick cut of meat. But, I repeat it was good. My fries were delicious. My wife had the Classic Burger and it was excellent. She said her sweet potato fries were good (I did not try them). Service is friendly, and prices are reasonable. One word of caution: If you are on a road-trip and hoping for a quick stop (as we were) be warned it won't be quick. Everything is made from scratch, which is great, but it definitely takes longer. If you are in Davenport and looking for good food at reasonable prices you might want to stop by The Machine Shed.
