I dropped a star because the menu has about stayed the same and they were out of one of the chicken dishes and it was only 6 PM. Our birthday gal wanted a simple pasta and they really don't just have that. I had a portobello fries and a hot honey chicken sandwich and both were very good. They were still tasty the next day. Hubby had a pork chop - - and it was delicious just like he remembered. The bread bowl is good and they graciously brought you more. A waitress was good - - she kept the children in the group full of!! It was a nice place to celebrate

And then the fall salad The Portobello mushroom fries were amazing!! Crispy. This is a must order item! I was thinking about them days later! The fall salad with salmon was delicious and a large portion! the side of broccolini fulfilled my green requirement for the day! The panini looked amazing and I want to try it next time.

They have a fantastic meat counter with delicious sides, along with a full restaurant and loft seating upstairs. Their sandwiches and barbecue are so good, and they offer daily specials that are definitely worth checking out. Almost anything on the menu would be a win, but I highly recommend the barbecue beef or one of the hot sandwiches paired with potato salad and a few of their other delicious sides. We also grabbed some jerky for the road, which was the perfect way to finish the visit. Great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a fun location make this a place I would happily visit again.

Not the worst place, but have been to better. First, upon entering, there is nobody around, and a…read moresign saying you have to order upstairs. We trek up two flights of stairs to a bar. We are told we order there and then find a seat and someone will bring our food. First they brought the wrong food. Two of us were done eating before the other two got their food. Nobody ever asked if we wanted drink refills. We had to go to the bar. It makes no sense why you can't sit and have someone wait on you. There were two tables and the "server" was never around. Three women standing at bar talking about dating instead of tending to customers. The food was okay, but it would have been better with some BBQ sauce...but we couldn't find anyone to ask. The building is really neat...I will give them that. Our first visit to Iowa...probably won't return to this particular eatery.

There's a surprising amount of seating in this restaurant, with plenty of booths, and tables. The service was also very quick - we had our food less than ten minutes after ordering. I went with the country omelette (sans onions), which is generously sized with three eggs, and was chock full of green onions, ham, tomato, mushroom, and cheese on top (fun/different way to do it). Choice of toast, I went with rye, which came out perfectly toasted with plenty of butter on it, and hash browns. Delicious! My husband ordered the special (choice of meat, choice of how your eggs are cooked, toast, and hash browns). Our server was awesome - checked on us multiple times, and was very friendly. We will absolutely come back when in the area again!

Looking forward to their Cheeseburger chowder in a bread bowl and was disappointed in how running…read morethe chowder was and looked for the burger...? Service for soup ok however service for an iced Americano was slow. Usual vibe in the place so believe with much more competition in town this place needs to step up their game.

It was a bit busy with all the volleyball players and fans, but the staff pushed through the rush and did it with smiles. I ordered a Sweet Georgia Brown Mocha and it was delicious! It was sweet enough to tame the coffee taste for those of us that like that, and the hint of honey was amazing. With good coffee and a great ambiance outside and inside, Smokey Row Coffee makes for a great pit stop if you're going through or staying in Pella. They also have some great merch for purchase if you want a souvenir.

The menu is fairly extensive, and the things I've had over various trips have all been quite good, considering. I'm usually ingesting some sushi and rolls while I'm there, but the bento boxes are a great option too. Whatever your preference, there's probably something for you. Service has always been super friendly and attentive and that goes for takeout orders as well. I'm glad to have them in town whenever I need a quick sushi fix.
