Even though Iowa is a landlocked state, there are so many beautiful waterfront restaurants out here! One gorgeous historic spot is a great place to dine any time the weather looks fine. Head to the General Store Pub in Stone City, Iowa for a meal you’ll truly love.
You might recognize the General Store Pub when you pull up - it was the subject of a 1930 Grant Woods painting.

Order up some bar bites from their menu. They offer seafood, wings, burgers, and one of the best tenderloins you’ll have. Their tackle box appetizer is one of the most popular dishes, so dig in!

For dessert, indulge in a Roasted Marshmallow. It’s soaked in Bailey’s, and you can roast them right at your own table.
