"Landmark Bistro – Grundy Center, Iowa If you’re cruising through Grundy Center or you’re lucky enough to live there, Landmark Café is an absolute must-stop. First off.... the beer? Ice, ice baby. Its ice Cold. The kind of cold that makes you question every life decision leading up to that glorious first sip. If Antarctica had a taproom, it would be jealous. Now let’s talk chicken tenders. Not frozen. Not “previously frozen.” Not “flash frozen for your convenience.” These babies are hand-battered, golden, and so good they should probably come with a warning label for addiction. In today’s world of “press 1 for rehydrated nuggets,” this is a rare find. And the ranch dressing as a dip. The ranch was THE BOMB. I’m talking “where-has-this-been-all-my-life” levels of ranch. Honestly, I’d like to know the secret sauce but that’s another review. My only suggestion? Give us a spicy dipping options! Something with a little kick. I love BBQ as much as the next midwesterner, but a man needs options. (Consider it my official plea.) The server Gracie at the bar seating seemed new, but you could tell she was trying her absolute hardest, hustling with that “I-will-get-this-right-or-die-trying” energy. I respect that. And the whole staff being led by Ashley, you can tell she is a true leader by the culture built with in the staff enthusiasm to be here? Urgent to serve, smiling, and genuinely happy to take care of you. That’s rare these days. Overall: Cold beer ✔️ Fresh chicken ✔️ Bomb ranch ✔️ Friendly staff ✔️ Worth the stop ✔️✔️✔️ Landmark Café keep doing what you’re doing. I’ll be back, and probably for another round of that ranch."
