Ox Yoke Inn in Amana, Iowa: Enjoy Iowa's Best German Restaurant
Amana, IA 52203
United States of America
You Won't Leave Hungry
The Ox Yoke Inn offers German home-style food like wiener schnitzel, sauerkraut and smoked ham served with bottomless bowls of side dishes. If that doesn't interest you, you can grab a sandwich or something more American. If you happen to be a vegetarian, you can choose from a number of side dishes available. There is also a children's menu.
The Ox Yoke Inn is known for their lavish Champagne brunches. This brunch isn't just full of all the usual breakfast fare; it also has a three tiered dessert table.
Get a Taste of History
What makes this restaurant unique is its setting. This restaurant (at one time a house) was built in 1856. Not only does the Inn serve food, but it is also a gift shop and museum.
Over the years I cannot think of a time that we didn't have a great dining experience at the Ox Yoke Inn. The service is always prompt and friendly.
The meals are served family-style so all of the food is brought out at once in heaping plates and bowls. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food that comes to your table. It is never disappointing and you know that you are getting a quality meal.
Reservations are not needed, but if you are planning on going to the Ox Yoke Inn on a holiday, you may want to call (800-233-3441) ahead and reserve your table. You can also make reservations online.

Thanks for the comments you two!
German food isn't my thing either, but it has always been what I was around.
I never liked sauerkraut, and I went vegetarian on them. I think it broke their hearts!
This sounds like a great spot.
I dont care for German food but this sounds like a great place for those who do. :)
