Darrell’s Place

Food is very typical «Iowa» food, but good. Friendly staff and very casual. Order a beer with your tenderloin. Good prices and good fried food.

Oh my, what delicious chops you have! This is the local home cooking I’ve been looking for in Iowa. Everything is very simple but done very well. The tenderloins i had just fell off the bone, the cream corn was like nothing I’ve ever tasted before and the mashed potatoes are basic Idaho potatoes which are mashed with gravy on top… simple and delicious. I also had the rhubarb pie ala mode. I have never had rhubarb before and this little place just did them perfectly tart and sweet! And with $ 1 dollar beers, how can you go wrong!
This isn’t your fine dinning nor your shi-​shi food, this is your local down to earth local eatery that everyone strives to find for an authentic, middle of the corn field, Iowa experience. Everyone knows each other here and is very friendly.
Bön Appetit… winning the hearts of food lovers one tummy at a time!

This is my favorite place to go when I come home. It is on the corner of Highway 71 & Highway 44. They are great any time of the day, but my favorite is the homemade tenderloins with either cheddar crips or onion chips. And I still get excited about the cheap prices. If you want a beer to wash it all down you can get $ 1 draws!!!
