Iowa Machine Shed

You can't go wrong with anything off the menu at this Iowa landmark restaurant . I suggest the onion ring appetizer . They're really onion strings . Also any of the Reuben sandwiches are amazing!

You're in Iowa, get the Roast Stuffed Iowa Chop. Incredible pork ! Lots of homecooking style food straight from the Heartland. Also visit Living History Farms !

Get the giant cinnamon role as a starter to share with a couple other people. Also if you like eggs tell your server you love eggs for an extra.

Sirloin tips and onion rings ftw! Don't miss the free coleslaw , bread with cottage cheese & butter. 😍

Breakfast has always been great. Given dinner its third and final chance tonight....stick to breakfast

The parmesan crusted American cut is probably the tastiest pork dish I've ever eaten. Amazing

Good, authentic farm fresh food . It has become a family tradition to stop here anytime we are passing through Des Moines.

Family style dinner with a huge menu with many options. I usually get the prime rib when I go here and it is always good.

Homestyle food, family based. Country vibe. Good cottage cheese . Big with grandparents but food works for anyone.

This place is awesome! Breakfast is twelve bucks for all you can eat , but it's well worth it.

We had a blast with the staff and manager. GO TEAM YELLOW!

Try the apple dumplings ! Prepare for HUGE proportions. Everything was great.

Apple cidar syrup is so wonderful! Waffles are fluffy and delish!

Ask for aaron! He's the best. Also, don't get french onion soup . It always burns my hand to serve it and the baked potato soup is a million times better.

Yummy comfort food ! Fried Chicken , mashed potatoes , meatloaf , ribs . Great breakfast buffet on weekends, too!

Food was amazing. Owner was there and came over to say hello to us.

This place got renovated, food is as good as before... chicken pot pie ☺ is a good one for a light meal

You've gotta try their weekend brunch buffet !

Check out THe Machine Shed as seen on United States of Bacon , Food Paradise Read more

Very fresh food ! Wonderful Midwest options.

Anything on the pork menu is fantastic!

If you are a fan of eggs benedict definitely try "The Farmers Benedict". It is delecious!

Ham with Garlic potatoes great

The breakfast menu ends at 11:00am on Sunday, but the breakfast buffet stays open and has almost everything you'd want. Kids are half price, too! Read more

The apple dumpling can speak for itself without the help of the cinnamon ice cream . Savor the apple !

The Old fashion pot roast is met-in-your-mouth amazing!

Turkey Ruben , Sweet potato fries and a Bacon Bloody Mary the best!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, Mr. Zappa. Keep your zircon-encrusted tweezers. I'll have the Parmesan-crusted America's Cut.

Ask for Kelsi or Katie, best and most attentive servers here!

The blueberry pancakes made to order at the Sunday buffet have to be what heaven tastes like.

Prime rib is awesome

Get the #11 for breakfast...its enough for 2 people

The pot roast was delicious.

If you're looking for a feel good "Honestyle meal." This is your spot.

Bring back the tangy tenderloin to the dinner menu !

Sirloins and carriot pancake really good!!!

You can't go wrong with the chicken fried steak . And the apple dumplings are incredible.

BIG Effin' fail Machine Shed. I showed up at 10:45 starving & sitting solo. After waiting almost 15 mins for a server to come to my table, i packed up. Also, after everyone around me was helped. FAIL

Always a great meal with great service.

Avoid the Brisket , the new recipe could be easily mistaken for crispy bacon .

Lisa tried the Bacon Bloody Mary with breakfast but didn't care for it

These Cinnamon Rolls are huge

Burnt ends and cheese fondu are good enough for a meal!

Now that I have the check and see that gratuity is included and obligatory, I understand why the wait staff is so crappy.

The sirloin tips are amazing, very fast service , awesome food

Coffee is amazing. Hash brown casserole is to die for.

Ahhhhhmazing!!!! Try the carrot cake pancake

Chicken Fried Steak was awesome! You wont leave hungry!

The "shredder hashbrown casserole " is a must try side!

Food is always delicious! I have never been disappointed with anything on the menu. Portions are all generous too. This time I had the grilled tenderloin sandwich with sweet potato fries . Outstanding!
