Prairie Canary Restaurant & Bar

My husband and I are traveling to Iowa to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends and stopped in for dinner.nnWe shared their pork belly lettuce wraps, truffle fries, and brussel sprouts. Everything was delicious, but the true star of the show is the pumpkin spice bread pudding! We devoured it.nnI wish we had a place like this at home. There are many more things on the menu that we'd love to try.

Solid food, cocktail, and beer choices, with some vegan and gluten free options as well.nPricing is in the middle to high end. There are $15-20 dishes, but can easily go into the $25-35 range or even higher. There is a speakeasy downstairs, but it was closed when we visited. Would recommend making a reservation to avoid waiting, as it can get busy.

Ate outside. Super friendly staff and delicious food. We love the salads. Will be back to Grinnell and definitely eat dinner here again.

Shannon was great!! Gave some great recommendations!! Bacon Jam Burger was delicious with the goat cheese and hand-cut fries. For desert, the Berry Shortcake allows you to treat yourself and wasn’t heavy; very sweet. Shannon recommended a great cider, on tap.nnI’m a tourist and would recommend this place to any travelers!!

We ate here for mother's day brunch and it was our first time. They got us seated quickly, our waiter was friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. It was the best shrimp and grits I have had outside of New Orleans. Absolutely stellar!
