The Classic Deli & Ice Cream Shoppe

Fun local place, worth a visit. Had a tasty ruben, the pie and ice cream looked enticing. Good friendly local crowd and only a short trip from I 80. Worthy escape from typical interstate adjacent chains for something more unique!

What a great surprise! We were looking for something new for a date night and any time we see a joint with prime rib, we are anxious to try it. Now we've been chasing the high of a prime rib we had somewhere in Wisconsin around 1t years ago and no one has come close... Until NOW. 15 years and barely 15 miles from home, there it was, just waiting for us. Boom, 10/10 we finally found it. We were so NOT distracted by the cozy, small diner atmosphere and actually connecting at our table that I never even remembered to pick up my phone and take a picture of the meal, sorry (not sorry)! Service was great, price was great, apps and meals were out quick but not so quick we were shuffling plates. Just perfect. We will be back to try the myriad of other menu options that looked equally amazing.

Was greeted seated by a kind, courteous waitress waitress as I entered this peacefully restaurant. Then after glancing over the menu, I placed my order. Glance over the photos I enclosed. If you are near Brooklyn, IA and want to eat breakfast, lunch you will pleased. I was!

Loved our lunch, the pies were amazing!

Real food. We both had the meatloaf special. Delicious. Great ice cream - hubby got a caramel shake. Awesome homemade pies- got a slice of pecan and superb cherry pie to go. Great taste and crust! Worth the short drive north of I80. Charming small town.
