Crouse Cafe

Found this spot on Google and it did not disappoint! The place was packed. Sunday around 12:30. Service was a little slow but our server was super nice and super attentive. We had omelets, French toast, biscuits and gravy and a ham and egg and cheese sandwich! With 2 drinks and the total was around $32!! We will definitely be back!!!

I love finding good mom and pop diners and I hit the jackpot with this one! I had the blueberry pancake and bacon, my husband had the open face hot roast beef sandwich. Both were huge and fantastic! Great service, inexpensive and GREAT! Saw the homemade milkshakes and pies being delivered to other tables. I live 37 miles away and look forward to driving there sometime just for pie and milkshakes! My new favorite family diner!!!

Delicious...home cooking done right. This place has fresh food cooked just like your grandma did it back in the day. The waitress we had knew her stuff and was very helpful. She made sure we were taken care of and had our food out to us in short order. Everything we ordered were hot and fresh and tasted so good. This place is worth the drive and everyone should give it a try. We are going back on the weekend when they have their buffett. We definitely will be back!

Exceeds expectations! I was expecting this to be a good small town cafe but this was even better. The hot roast beef sandwich was a level above what you usually find. These guys have figured out the magic of perfect gravy and real roast beef. It was amazing. Then the dessert. I forget that Iowa is the pie capital and Crouse did not disappoint. Two full meals and pie and the bill? $23. If you go here leave a huge tip.

Crouse Cafe in Indianola. This place was VERY clean. They recently had an employee test positive for Covid, so they had to close down. Today is the first day they have been open since. We watched them thoroughly clean each table before they sat people down. They’re very nice and energetic. Mom got the Turkey club with a side of onion rings. The onion rings were thin and crispy. And moms turkey club was very filling. I think she ate half and was full. The Hot Beef was GOOD. Real mashed potatoes. Homemade gravy not from a packet. 😋 AND it was only $16 total! I would definitely return here!!
