The most delicious shed in town...

One of the first places I recommend for Des Moines area visitors to check out, is the Machine Shed Restaurant.  It's in Urbandale, right off of Hickman road.

What an awesome place to give visitors a taste of Iowa.  Tractor rides, farm-fresh food and Iowa souvenirs all in one place.  You can of course make this your meal break on a trip to Living History Farms too since it's right next door.

The family-friendly restaurant has something to please everyone.  It's not your typical fare either.  Breakfast specialties include over-sized cinnamon rolls, carrot cake pancakes and much more.  If you tell them that "You love eggs" they'll add in an extra egg to your order for free.

They do a fantastic weekend brunch that is only about $11 and includes endless hash-brown casserole (amazing), bacon, eggs, sausage, waffles, pancakes, pastries, fruit, etc. Kids are a reduced price.

The from-scratch gravies, sauces and sides for the lunch and dinner items make them extra special.  Look for Iowa-chops and beef entrees. The salad bar is good and heck, everything is good!  Ultimate comfort food.


 If you want to impress visitor for a casual, Iowa-inspired meal, take them here.  We've never had a bad meal at the Machine Shed.

PS. They've also just started doing cooking classes for adults and kids!  The kids classes are FREE and the adult classes are only $20 and includes dinner!.  They look super fun!  Here is the info.
