As someone said in a recent unsolicited online review, "Last week I had lunch at the tavern and had cheese curds and a tenderloin. I have always judged a eating place by their tenderloin and have had many in the last 30 years. This was a perfect example of a wining tenderloin. Nice thickness, good flavor, tender and perfect size. I am pretty sure this was the best tenderloin I have ever had. Also the cheese curds compete with anything I have had in Wisconsin. Love the dill spears too.  I highly recommend eating at this place when in the area. Very nice spot with outdoor seating. Got some old school class to the business too."

Make your next roadtrip to St. Olaf Tavern with your hosts, Randy & Lisa Lenth!

Another unsolicited online review states:  "This place is worth the drive. If you’re looking for a great tenderloin in NE Iowa, plug 'St Olaf Tavern' into your map app & follow it to the main drag in St. Olaf, IA. Step inside the building & you’ll be as pleasantly surprised as I was by the clearly updated decor, the cleanliness of the entire place, and the friendly service. We stopped in for an early lunch about 11:30 am & all 3 of us ordered tenderloins; 2 4-oz minis (nothing “mini” about them,) and my dad got an 8-oz regular. They were served up fast & fresh. Sides are available for a small upcharge.  Our waitress -- whom I suspect was one of the owners (and, YES, it was owner Lisa!) -- was friendly & kept our drink glasses filled.  Ladies restroom was spotlessly clean. IF YOU'RE IN THIS AREA, SWING BY AND GRAB A GREAT BITE TO EAT AT THIS HIDDEN GEM!"

Please visit us at St. Olaf Tavern, 106 S. Main St. in quaint St. Olaf, Iowa for a great bite to eat and tasty refreshments.  Call ahead for your carry-outs (563) 783-7723 and we'll have it ready for you.
