What a near little tavern with some big flavors coming from the kitchen. Biggest and best tenderloin sandwich I ever had in the 9 years I have been in iowa. The onion rings weren't bad and my wife had the cod sandwich. She says it was really good too.

We took a trip north Oct. 22, 2024 thorough NE Iowa and into Wisconsin. We stopped at the St. Olaf Tavern in St. Olaf, Iowa near Elkader. The food was wonderful! We had their famous tenderloins and so was eveyone else there that day! Wonderful! This sandwich is rated one of the top 4 in Iowa. The best we've ever had. However we've had a lot of good ones in the past! The tap is clean with great service! We could tell all the other patrons were impressed as well. You need to make the toad trip! Well worth it!
