Like any place that Mike Whalen has his hands in this place is WONDERFUL! Casual, down on the farm decor, menu, and service. The food NEVER disappoints.
If you leave without the baked potato soup with bacon, cheese, and green onions you are doing yourself a great disservice.
All meals come family style with cottage cheese, cole slaw, breads & butter, all that good stuff.
Steaks are wonderful, the pan fried chicken is to die for, and if you can get desert down after one of their meals go for it!
One of my personal top 5 Restaurants in the QCA! The Shed has never let me down. Always top quality food and service.
The restaurant itself is worth the visit... meaning the decor and the overall "feel" of the place. It's really cool and it certainly feels like you're walking into a barn full of old stuff. The waiters/waitresses wear these goofy overalls and plaid shirts. Drinks are served in mason jars. I saw some kid meals served in little John Deere tractor things. It's lots of fun!
I ordered the Pork Philly Cheese Steak sandwich as did my significant other one Sunday afternoon. It was very good! The food is very farm-like... lots of country favorites like fried chicken and fried everything else. Lots of fries (sweet potato and regular). The desserts looked fabulous, though we didn't succumb as we were stuffed from our meal. We both ordered soups with our sandwiches. The french onion is great and he ordered the chili. Good stuff.
I was kind of irked that they don't serve their lunch menu on Sundays. There are lots of goodies on it for cheaper (like the pulled pork sandwich). I did kind of find items a little expensive on the dinner menu. A lot of the entrees were over $12 with our sandwiches being just over $9. For lunch, their sandwiches are about $7 and the entrees are cheaper as well.
Anyway, it's a great visit. If you have family or friends in from out of town, definitely take them here! It's very "Iowan" and the food is pretty good if you're not on a diet!
P.S. - I didn't have any problems with the service. Everyone was friendly and efficient.
