Carroll, Iowa may be a small town, but it is bursting with flavor. As a local, I take great pride in the delicious food and drinks that our community has to offer. So, for families visiting Carroll on vacation, I have put together a guide to some of our most popular and must-try foods. From traditional American dishes to international flavors, there is something for everyone in Carroll's food scene.
Start your day with a hearty breakfast
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and in Carroll, we take it seriously. For a classic American breakfast, head to the Bonanza Family Restaurant, where you can enjoy fluffy pancakes, crispy bacon, and eggs made just the way you like them. If you're in the mood for a more unique breakfast experience, check out 222 Public House for their famous breakfast burrito or Italian Villages Pizza and Deli for their mouthwatering breakfast sandwiches.
Savor the local flavors for lunch
For a quick and casual lunch, you can't go wrong with a classic Iowa staple – the tenderloin sandwich. Stop by Saucy's Grill or Cindy's Homestyle Deli for their perfectly breaded and fried tenderloin. If you're craving something more exotic, try Tres Amigos Mexican Restaurant for their authentic Mexican dishes or Le's Vietnamese Cuisine for a taste of Asia. And for those hot summer days, Sweet Things Ice Cream Shoppe is the perfect spot to cool down with a cone or sundae.
