One of the best coffee drinks I've ever had-high quality beans, freshly ground and flavorful but not too sweet start to the morning. Greeted by several members of staff, all of whom were smiling and more than willing to talk about their local suppliers and favorite items on menu. Everyone we met (including patrons) were the epitome of Iowa nice and we found this a really pleasant place to stop in. Cozy, warm location, very popular with locals, and comfortable seating. This, like several places we visited in Harlan, is a hidden gem run by people who truly care about the food and service they offer.

The waitress was super nice and attentive. Made a slight mistake in my order, no big deal, but felt really bad and did everything she could to remedy the mistake. Had a burger. Reminded me of the great burgers you would get at an old bowling alley. Also had an order of fried cheese curds. They were ok. Outside was crispy but on some of the larger ones the cheese wasn't melted. I am in the area a lot and will probably make it a regular stop for some good food and hometown service.

This no-frills steakhouse specializes in dry aged beef, is James Beard award winning, has great cocktails, and still serves you a relish tray while you wait for your meal. For those of you under the age of 35, a relish tray, often consisted of carrots, celery, pickles, and cubed cheddar cheese like this one. They also will bring you some bread and butter if you would like. In my opinion, you should definitely opt for the tenderloin, but I'm not sure there is a bad steak option on the menu. They also have seafood and even sandwich sandwiches including a burger so there's something for everyone! It's family friendly and although the decor will remind you of your grandma's house, no grandparent I have ever met could put out steaks like this. Visit the ice cream capital of the world and make sure to save room for a steak!
