Machine Shed Restaurant Urbandale

We had breakfast on a Saturday. There was a buffet that looked real good and fresh. I decided to have steak and eggs. My husband had the French toast made out of cinnamon rolls. If you tell your waitress you love eggs, they will put an extra egg on your plate with any of the full breakfast meals. At no charge. My steak was overcooked, but they were quick to replace it with a perfectly cooked sirloin. It was very tender. The cinnamon roll French toast was sweet and delicious. And more than a grown man can eat. The Machine Shed Restaurant looks like a locals favorite! It is worth the stop. There were lots of unique things in the store, too.

I ordered an Autumn Sangria and a chicken tenders dinner (side of green beans and sweet fries). The drink was great! The dinner was just okay. The dinner cost around $16-17 and was pretty big. But unfortunately, the chicken tenders were hugely disappointing. They were very dry and not super flavorful. The bright spot was the sweet potato fries that appeared to be homemade. The ranch was also good - creamy and great for dipping. The fixings that came before the meal are generous portions and include a decent sized bowl of cottage cheese, a large bowl of coleslaw, and a basket of dinner rolls and some sort of sweet brown bread. I didn't try the sweet bread but it sounded like it may have been banana and was enjoyed by others in my group. All in all, I would highly recommend this place for large groups. The dinner food is just alright but the drinks and atmosphere are perfect for a last minute dinner with a large group!

I love this place. If you are into excellent food, excellent friendly service, and excellent down home ambience this is a place you will love too. I had the farmhand breakfast. It consisted of three eggs, sausage links, English muffin toast, and some of the best cheesy hash brown potatoes I have ever had.
