Dew Drop Inn, Adair IA

Love ma and pa places. Unfortunately i couldnt try this place out. The owners car was parked in the last spot for a semi truck. I asked nively if she could move she said its my parking lot ill park where i want. I said ok then i cant park here you lose a customer. ‍️there where plently of car parking. Guess this place is not trucker friendly

Staff was pleasant but the building inside is terribly cluttered and could definitely use an update. They have these charming stools that allowed you to sit at the counter. I got a medium ice cream cone and it was huge!

Absolutely a little gem off the beaten track. The service was great; there was only one lady running the place, and she was very nice.

The burger was absolutely one of the best burgers I've had in a while. It's nothing fancy, but you don't need fancy to have a good tasting meal. The price was outstanding too.

Well worth going to if you're passing by!

Delicious, great customer service and customer appreciation. This is what I'd call a little gem for burgers and fries. I ordered cheeseburger, sweet potato fries, and cream cheese jalapeño poppers. The servings were perfect in size and flavor. Their menu is more extensive.like chicken, shrimp, loin, but not a huge menu. Just right.

The establishment doesn't look like much, but the food was very good, and service was also good.

Shirley, owner since 1976 makes a really juicy traditional hamburger, best we've had in forever. Ended it with a tasty soft serve twist cone and a butterfinger tornado. Classic small diner we liked it so much we bought a t-shirt, which is rare for us, but you find something you really like it's nice to remember it.

FUN! Easy. Sweet. Ice cream. Blueberry Malt. Nice to meet and talk with the owner. I will go there again.

Great little piece of small town USA!
Best burger I have had in a while.
So glad I found it!

A true slice of Americana. Locals there with their seed corn hats chatting across tables about everyday life. Super fresh sandwiches Friendly quick service.

Read reviews while traveling and looking for a place to eat. Almost 9pm on a Sunday night.
This is BEHIND kum & go and subway. We couldn't see it from the street. Gps said we were there. Glad we found it! 1/3 pound burgers. Lots of stuff on the menu. One amazing little gal running the whole show. Had our food cooked up fresh in no time. See the lemon ice cream is a Monday special (someone else mentioned it in a review).
Took me back to the old days. Good enough that locals were eating there. Had a soft serve hot fudge and cherry sundae for dessert. Rich soft serve, not watery. Someone earlier mentioned flies. Ya, there were a couple. No big deal. Clean and great food at a reasonable price. I'd go back. And try to do it on a Monday. My husband's small ice cream cone was BIG. See pix.

Been here plenty of times. I’ll always keep coming back. Best food, service and staff out there. The owner is an absolute gem. Love the Dew Drop!

Amazing service, amazing food, definitely will be back. Has that rustic, vintage, hometown feel with beautiful all yellow interior. God bless America & the dairy sweet.

Moved here just over a year and a half ago this is our favorite place in town to eat! Good food great ice cream pretty reasonable prices. Definitely should stop in and get some food!

Small shake shack with a full menu. Have heard nothing but good things about the lemon soft serve but it was out the day we visited. Friendly gals and small town prices, this was a great stop on our motorcycle ride. We want visit again for a meal!

Stop in anytime you are in the area, better than an other ice cream place including the national chains.

Not trucker friendly. Make it absolutely clear with their sign. This whole side of town is like that from what I experienced. Big gravel lot next to it and behind Kum & Go. If you drive truck pass right by the big (fake) smiling water tower. Thought this might be a nice place. Couple words I can't put here.don't worry won't be back.

Great service and food. Owners are very kind and have owned this since 1972.

We stopped by on a Saturday. The owner was running the place and they seemed to have a lot of customers that day.

We happened to stop by right after a customer rush during a lull. The sundaes were delicious with real fruit. The owner had some time to talk and told us about local attractions and very helpful. We'll definitely stop there again when we're in the area.

One note: the bathroom is not handicap accessible as the entrance is less than 2 feet wide. There is a gas station right next door that is handicap accessible.
