The Gathering Table
Fresh Iowa-grown fruits and vegetables and locally-raised beef and poultry are the centerpieces of The Gathering Table’s menu. And when they say "farm to table," they mean it – diners can stroll the on-site garden and orchard before enjoying their meal. Open seasonally on Fridays for lunch and dinner.
Branding Iron Steakhouse
Cowboy-style comfort food is on the menu at the Branding Iron Steakhouse in the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it town of Carbon. Steaks are the specialty, but locals rave about the handmade onion rings.
Penn Drug Company
Penn Drug Company is Iowa's oldest family-owned drug store and old-fashioned soda fountain. Whether you’re looking for a soda, malt or a full meal – this charming, historic business is worth a trip off the interstate.
The Feedlot
Breakfast served all day and daily lunch and dinner specials make this local favorite a great stop for road trips. Homemade comfort food at its best.
Tobey Jack's Mineola Steakhouse
Known as the destination for the Wabash Trace Trail’s Taco Ride which attracts nearly 1,000 bicyclists each week (May-October). In addition to tacos, the menu includes hand-breaded onion rings, pork tenderloins, shrimp and half-pound burgers.
The Sanctuary
Peanut butter. Chocolate. Pie. Enough said. This restaurant, located in a beautiful century-old church, offers a variety of daily specials - including a pie of the day.
Jamie's Coffee Mill & Deli
Fresh food, sinful sweets, great coffee and an unexpected fine gifts collection keeps diners - and shoppers - coming back to Jamie's Coffee Mill and Deli.
Junction Café
Plain and simple, the Junction Café serves home-style food in a home-style diner. Is anything better?
Kansas Street Deli
Daily sandwich and soup specials make every day the perfect day for lunch or dinner at the historic Kansas Street Deli. Be sure to also try their beloved milkshakes and stop by the restaurant's antique store.
