Iowa State Fair Food: Toward a Theory of American Festival Cuisine | Eater
"A pastry vendor specializing in Dutch letter pastries from Pella: thin, S-shaped pastries dusted with sugar and filled with almond paste. The flaky, almond-forward treats are unexpectedly excellent and frequently purchased in multiples by fans." - Meghan McCarron
An amazing piece of Indiana history. Clean, friendly and great community!

The food was great. All of our friends had been recommending the philly cheese steak, so we had to come check it out! We'll definitely be back for another. The beer was nice and cold, like always 👍

Went here for about a decade regularly. Faron hired a rude Bartender Latassia and that made the service terrible. Lisa and Melissa are the backbone of the establishment. I loved the bar until the owner allowed the Pretentious Bartender Latassia to bar me for speaking my mind when she kicked me out after I broke up an argument and she took my drink and I got barred. 5 years ago the bar was great. Now it's a bunch of two faced trouble makers ruining the places "cheers" qualities. It's a shame. I cared about the bar and the environment but one bad apple spoils the rest I guess. If you do go I'd suggest sitting at a table if Latassia is still working there. No hard Feelings Faron...but you could have stuck up for me and told her to let it go but she even went to the lengths now to message me and harass me on social media threatening me and causing drama at other establishments. Good luck

I'll never go there and order the chicken tenders again. The chicken tenders were the size of chicken nuggets for a 4-year-old kid but I'm not hating this is a place to go if you're bored and want to drink or the tacos are good. They got darts and they got pool.

It was good to see how we were the only people of color there and it was peaceful for us. However, there were a few bar fights amongst the regulars.

Wow....it's been a while since I've come to this establishment. Was greeted by friends and the waitress, wasn't told cooler was broken and was offered a cold glass to put beer in. 15 mins later after she was done talking to her a take it husband and friends at the other end of bar I got it. I ordered food, the special, tacos. Which are really good. But 45 mins later when I asked, she said oh let me check....as she obviously forget, watch people come in and order food and get it before my food. This is just wrong on so many levels. I can't believe the owners would let their place of good business suffer so much. Sad. I won't be returning for quite some time if at all. And I suggest and will tell anyone I know to steer clear.

Another neighborhood bar. Great, friendly people. Nothing fancy but a local small business that has been there for years. You can smoke inside but they had smoke eater machines and fans so it really wasn't bad. Sunday at 1pm had only 3 people in there, by 3pm it was getting very busy. Bartender said there is live music most weekends. The food was very tasty and not just all pre-frozen food. Very reasonably priced. Had lunch and some adult drinks.

Good food fast and also down the road.
Prices are right. My wife and I usually always get to go. However, there does seem to be a nice place for a beverage also.

Food was good
Service was fine until about 6months ago
Lighting is alright for an owner that doesn't care if you're a loyal customer or not.
You could eat here everyday if the week for 5 years and nobody values it. Fights break out often for stupid reasons most of the time. Idk man . I liked the bar better when it was just a small crowd now it's all riff raff beware after 11pm

The Shoe is a great place to eat and grab a drink. Despite old reviews, they DO have liquor. The food is always really good. Great burgers and pizza at great prices. They have a pool table and dart boards. It's a small, hometown feel.
Note: THIS IS A SMOKING ESTABLISHMENT.

This is a COVID hot spot waiting to explode. Staff not wearing masks. Customer's coming in and walking around without mask. No social distances with almost everyone crowded along bar. Plus smoking.

This is one of the best pubs around.
It as that homely feel to it.
The people are great there.
The owners are some of the best you will find.
The food is also great.

The number of reviews speaks for itself. No liquor, no credit cards taken, no class, and no intention of ever going again.

This is a great bar lots of friendly people to come in and out of there. They staff and the owners are very nice people prices are great and by the way the food there is amazing you have to try the burgers!!!! The owner does nightly specials for the food and her ribs are to die for if you hang around long enough you could be lucky to join in and play some indoor corn hole!! Just all around great place!!
