The Cornstalk Cafe Shelby, Ia

Great food and service! We had eight in our group and each of us loved our food—gotta try it!

I'm leaving this review so I will remember next time. This place would be ok if they could actually serve food fast. They take FOREVER. Not worth eating while we charge if it's going to take 45 minutes beyond a full charge to get food and eat. Next time we'll stop somewhere else. Twice we've tried this place, years apart, and they are still slow as dirt.

Horrible experience, terrible service- checked on us once right after we got our food that took OVER an hour..no apology whatsoever on that fact. Everyone, including the cook looked like they hated life and moved at a snails pace all with is my shift over yet looks on their faces. My dad will now be late to where he 's headed on top of it all thanks to this. They weren 't busy by the way! All and all, it was a terrible experience and we won 't be back. I very rarely write reviews, but this was one of the rare occurrences where I just had to complain. Being a former server for over 10yrs and bf a chef for over 15, we are usually pretty understanding, so that should tell you how bad it all was.

Update usually open 06:00 to 21:00. Closes early sometimes at 14:00 on Sundays and Mondays.

Great service with friendly staff and patrons. Breakfast was very good. My sister had the breakfast hash and said it was excellent. My husband said the hamburger steak was tender and flavorful. LOVED watching the waitress taking care of an elderly local and the community feel of this little Cafe. It was a great stop along our route for more than just the food.
