The Country Cabin

Constantly has sign up that says open even when closed. Very irritating when you stop to eat see the open sign but yet they are closed.

While staying in Hiawatha on a business trip, a coworker and I needed to find something for dinner that was kinda healthy-ish and not fast food. This is harder to accomplish than one might think in Hiawatha. After perusing the menus of the 4 local restaurants we ended up at The Country Cabins.Right off the bat, this place is adorable. The restaurant is one among a number of cabins on one side of a small lake. It's a little off the beaten path from the rest of the businesses in the area but worth the little bit of extra driving to get to. I had a dinner salad which was basically some romaine lettuce, cheese and croutons on a plate. A tomato, some cucumber, an onion, maybe some shredded carrot. This salad was sad and boring. Sorry. Just sayin'. My companion had the soup of the day: Cheesy Enchilada soup. When asked what was in it the server said that it was a cheese based soup with shredded beef, tomatoes, peppers and onions, garnished with tortilla strips. It was actually pretty good. For an entree I had the pork tenderloin dinner, which was basically pork schnitzel with white gravy. It wasn't bad, per se, but it was kind of boring. I ordered wrong. I should have gotten a rib eye, like my companion. Her steak was perfectly cooked and tender. She had a side of broccoli and I had the baby bakes, which are baked new potatoes with garlic buttter. The food was good. It was served hot and was tasty. It was just, well, kinda boring. I wonder if it's a comfort food thing or if it had to do with being the youngest people there (Admittedly, we had dinner at 5 pm. So it was early bird time!) I'd eat there again because it really is the best option in the area.

Another year celebrating my birthday at the Country Cabins! We were able to enjoy three nights in the cabin and two dinners! Missed out on my dessert yet will maybe get it next time!. Once again the prime rib was AMAZING! Steve and staff KUDOS you guys are awesome!!!

The food is great, always a great atmosphere. They have very good tasting steaks, burgers, and chicken, also the appetizers are mouth watering.

I love coming here for Happy Hour on Friday's, the appetizers are all so good, I love the onion rings. This is the only place in town that serves mixed drinks, beer and wine. It's relaxing to sit with friends and look out at the lake. It is a beautiful place. The servers are all so friendly and nice. You can't go wrong coming here.

Incredible home-cooked meals and fast and friendly service! Amazing local business and owners- we're lucky to have such a high quality restaurant in our community.

I had the bourbon glazed salmon. More of a rub than a glaze, but still good. The bread pudding was good, but be prepared for a very heavy alcohol taste in the sauce.

Stayed 2 nights here while traveling for work. The cabin was inviting, clean, and cozy. Towels were fresh and the deck overlooked a beautiful prairie lake. Got to eat in the restaurant the second night I stayed. The specials included a poblano soup and a chicken bacon ranch salad, both of which I indulged in. The poblano soup was cheesy and earthy, and had a mild, satisfying sweetness to it. It was delicious! I ordered the chicken bacon ranch salad with grilled chicken, which was admittedly kind of plain, but the grilled chicken was cooked perfectly, and made the dish shine. It was a slow night at the restaurant but the server always seemed to drop in at the right time, always knowing when to leave me alone.Overall a great experience. Definitely my favorite dining experience in Hiawatha and I hope to return the next time I travel this way!

The best place in Hiawatha to stop by and get a drink of choice and while at it enjoy you're delicious steak prepared the way you like it as the mouth will water as you're eating a good cut of Prime Rib

Just had dinner at the restaurant. Love trying local places when possible. Was only staying one night in Hiawatha and lucked onto Country Cabins. It is family owned and run. Tranquil country setting. Coming from Colorado it was a little too hot and humid for my taste to sit on the deck, but the view is lovely. We were given a seat by a window and enjoyed the view in air conditioned comfort. Our high lights: friendly service, good food, decent wine selection, all together a lovely evening.
