Reviews for Italian Cowboy Cafe/CornEar General Store and Cafe in Sheldon, IA

Thought we would give breakfast a try since we tried supper back when they first opened. Sadly food was worse then the first... visit, which wasn't very good either. Atmosphere felt very cluttered and hard to relax yet we were the only ones there. Wedidn't think the general store blended well with the restaurant setting. Read more

The place was odd to say the very least. The decor itself is that of a bar. Lots of taxidermy and lots of skulls and horns. It... also has a little garage sale in the back with not so garage sale prices. The menu, again odd. Don't know what to make of a menuthat had egg salad, tuna salad, bologna sandwich, peanut butter and jelly or a BLT. I guess just not what I wanted for lunch. Iwanted to try the daily special as it was lasagna day but when the waitress couldn't explain what the gravy is they put on it, Iwas out. They also make fresh pies for sale. What kind? Who knows. The menu doesn't tell you. Read more

Alfredo pasta was great. Large portion. Had a side salad and bread. Plan on taking some home. Nice and quiet when we were in... there. Great staff ! Read more

Nice staff and tasty food. The theme was an unexpected mix but they have pasta and country food under one roof. "Ciao Y'all" in... deed. I was pleasantly surprised by their buffet option. The (red velvet?)cake was really good and milk is recommended. P Read more

The food was wonderful. Be prepared to share a meal or take home leftovers if you don't normally eat a big meal. Skip buying... fast food for the family, get a couple of meals and divvy them out. Read more

Food is pretty good. Portions are pretty big. Food has always been fresh. Left with leftovers to take home for later or the next... day. Their cobbler is pretty good wish they would do cheesecake. Wish they would offer more choices for soups. It?s very spendyin this town. Both times I?ve went with a coworker, our ticket was over 70 dollars. Pricing definitely could go down a littlebit. That?s the only complaint is prices. But otherwise keep up the good work. Read more

Unfortunately, we did not have a good dining experience. We arrived at the end of the noon rush. The server took our order, and... we waited and waited and waited. One couple who arrived about the same time as us left before their food arrived; stating thatthey couldn't wait any longer. My wife's food arrived and mine arrived about 5 minutes later. I asked our server where my saladwas and it was brought after our food. Food tasted fine, but we will not dine there again. Read more

We waited 40-45 minutes for our food. Waiter was great she deserves a raise. BUT Chicken Cesar salad the chicken looked like... tuna! The lettuce tasted old NOT crunchy like a Cesar salad normally is. Took 3 bites of of my seafood pasta didn?t taste rightwas super duper watery. O and the brisket was swimming in grease. The guy that was a manger or whoever he said he was offered toonly take $5 off our order because we ?ate it (more like 2 bites out of the brisket and 3 bites out of the pasta and 1 bite outof a Cesar)? the child ate their food (so yes can see being fully charged for that plate). But apparently that?s how the brisketis suppose to be and that?s how pasta is made. First time trying and will be the last time. So if you like a brisket swimming ingrease and super duper watery pasta and chicken that looks like tuna then this is the place for you. I agree Sheldon neededsomething different but this isn?t it...my personal opinion (everyone is entitled to their opinions). Have a great night andhope everyone has better food then we did. Read more
