Iowa Machine Shed Watering Hole - Clive

Love the he home style food here. I tried the shed burger with fries tonight , which has BBQ brisket on the burger. The meat was bigger than the bun by far! Delicious!! I'm taking a slice of the apple pie home- hope it makes it home!!

The atmosphere is homey, service was attentive and great with the kids. The owner was introducing himself and checking in on customers, you could tell he was proud of his business. The kids also loved the tractor ride after we were finished eating.

Truly one of the best casual restaurants Ive been to in ages. Had several meals here on a recent visit to Iowa. Everything I had here was delicious! The stuffed pork chop was amazing! Tried several breakfasts that were also outstanding. Service was always friendly and quick, even when busy. Parking was always plentiful. If I lived here Id be eating here everyday.

My husband had the state sandwich of Iowa, the pork tenderloin, and he is still dreaming of it 2 weeks later! I had a salad with brisket. And I loved mine sooooo much! Neither of us could eat dinner when we stopped at the end of the day (driving) in North Platte Nebraska! Seriously, we were still full and satisfied! We will definitely stop again when driving from Chicago to Colorado or vise versa!!! Check it out! It's worth a stop in the unfair speeding practice state of Iowa........yeah, I've got issues with them.

You get greeted by people in checkered shirts and overalls and all the tables are for a huge party. They do a buffet brunch on the weekends and though it isn't the cheapest, you get a ton of food! My husband is a big eater and loved it, it wasn't really my thing.
