Newton, Iowa

I believe there are a few ppl from Newton on this board.

My family is going out to eat for my Mothers bday. We are meeting half way in Newton, normally we go to either the Chinese Food place on the square or to the Okoboji Grill right by the interstate.

I don’t think the Chinese place will be open and I dislike the Okoboji Grill for reasons I can not really place.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for a place to eat in Newton…some place that is not a corporate dive?

I am looking for a Wig and Pen type place, or a place like Francies off of Fleur.

Any suggestion for eateries in Newton on a Monday night around 7:30?

Good luck with that. Newton blows and doesn't really have any local places. You might as well just hit Perkins or Applebee's.

ah, well shit.

Fuck Newton.


The do have a pretty sweet disc golf course, though (at Maytag Park)

True that. You should head 15 minutes east, hit Grinnell and go downtown to Voodoo Lounge. It's a neat little cajun place. Very cool. It's on Main street right across from the movie theater.

Cosign. My mother took us there over Christmas, and I was very surprised to have a such cool place in small town Iowa.

It's because they have a thriving college.

Fuck all of it. Go to Bosselman's truck stop.
