Westside Bar & Grille

Support your local small town places. I had forgotten to post my review but wanted to give you my thoughts. We were out for a little road trip in March which put us in Earlham. We didn't know what to expect but the street parking outside was misleading. We walked into the bar door and it was busy. The place was hopping and there was multiple tables eating around . The waitress came to check on us right away. We checked out the menu and were in the mood to try the fried tenderloin. The waitress said she really liked it and told us it was a good choice. Hubby got the Philly steak sandwich and fries. The longer we stayed the louder it got. More and more people kept coming in the door and heading back further into a park of the building we couldn't see from our seats. It made it hard to talk at our table of 4. I think this is the place to be for Earlham and the locals. It had a great atmosphere and good food. The staff knew about everyone who walked in. The waitress was one of the things that made the experience good. She was happy to talk with us and tell us what she thought of certain food items. I liked my tenderloin and fries. I would suggest to anyone to go and check this place out.

What a nice find in a small town. I love these local places that server good food and have great staff working. Our food came out fast hot and most importantly, TASTY! Other members of my party had the recommended pork tenderloin and they all said how good it was. I had the Philly steak sandwich, I was very happy I did. Great bun and flavor from that sandwich and the whole meal/experience left me happy to leave an extra large tip. It seemed after 6 it got louder and made it harder to have a conversation. If you stop in earlier you will have a quite experience. If you stop in later in the evening it seems you will have a party like atmosphere. It's nice that you can get both in the same place.

One Bite brought us here. We gave it a 8.7. Super causal and homie atmosphere! Can't really imagine a better cheese pizza but the quest continues

We decided to go on am adventure and head to Earlham to celebrate a Birthday. Unfortunately our original destination was closed. Our party made our way into the Westside Grille. They easily accommodated our group. The waitress was very friendly and made sure our drinks kept coming. She answered all of our questions. Saturday's special was the prime rib.....wow. definitely worth the price. The prime was thick slice, done to perfection.......the only complaint was that the plate was almost to small.for the meal......good problem to have? The half salads were also a generous portion. The pizza of the month was a pickle wrap pizza........I could not resist.....it was interesting..... probably not my favorite, however I observed other pizzas being delivered and would for sure order pizza there again. Great prices, friendly hometown feel.

Damn great food!!!!!! Pizza amazing etc!!!! Eat there often. Great prime rib and specials

A great small town place to eat and gather with friends! The Westside has two buildings - one houses the bar, and the other is all tables for dining. The pizza here is fabulous - the closest pizza I've ever found to matching the pizza I grew up with and crave all of the time. Tip - ask the kitchen how may pizzas they have in line for cooking because they do take a bit of time. There are weekly specials for lunch each day. Takeout is available as well. I love the fact that I can run in, put an order in, and walk out with my meal about 10 minutes later. This is where I head to fulfill my craving for a cheesy burger and side dish. The Westside also hosts occasional events, so keep an eye on their Facebook page for that information, as well as the details on their dining specials.

Such nice people! This place is unassuming from outside. Everyone was so friendly inside! The pizza was really tasty and I loved the fries! They gave us a glass of their local Anderson Erickson milk. Wow!! So good!!

Really good pizza, good amount of toppings and cheese. I would rate this as one of the better pizzas I have had in central Iowa.

Is and has been best bar/restaurant that is family owned! You will always find a friendly face and great service! Their pizza is to die for!!! Worth the short drive to visit!!!
