Overview

Located in the heart of Storm Lake, Iowa, Zimmy's Bar & Grille offers a welcoming atmosphere where classic American bar and grill fare meets thoughtful preparation. The venue itself blends casual comfort with a lively vibe, making it a perfect stop for families, locals, and travelers seeking a satisfying meal paired with solid drink options.

The menu is a well-curated mix of hearty mains and inventive twists. Signature dishes like the Bacon Wrapped Chopped Sirloin showcase a satisfying balance of smoky, savory flavors that pair beautifully with their house-crafted sauces. Burger enthusiasts will appreciate the adventurous takes such as the Mac and Cheese Burger and the Peanut Butter Burger — inventive yet grounded in familiar comforts. The Prime Rib French Dip stands out for its tender, juicy slices nestled in fresh bread, ideal for those craving a classic sandwich with depth.

Zimmy’s pasta selections elevate the experience, particularly the Chicken Alfredo and the Sausage Andouille Bake, both served over fresh fettuccine noodles. The Alfredo sauce, made from scratch, complements the dishes perfectly, while the Andouille Bake offers a spicy but measured kick, all topped with melted mozzarella and Parmesan. These options demonstrate the kitchen’s commitment to fresh, quality ingredients and attention to detail.

For starters, the Boneless Chicken Bites—lightly breaded and crisp—come alive with a choice of flavorful sauces from buffalo to sweet chili, making them excellent shareable appetizers. Ribbon Chips, seasoned golden and served alongside cheese sauce, provide a delightful textural contrast. These appetizers set the tone for a meal that balances flavor and comfort.

The drink menu is equally worth noting, with cocktails like the Salted Caramel Martini and Mudslide delivering strong, well-crafted mixes that complement the food. Guests consistently praise both the bar and dining experience, highlighting attentive service and a vibrant atmosphere enhanced by good music and welcoming staff.

We just ate here tonight after spending a week in Storm Lake. We gave this place a second chance and sooo glad we did! Kourtney was our waitress.Hubby has serious allergies. She went back and asked the manager, Myleia (spelling ?) They both came back with ingredients from the packaging. We were ok….Hubby ordered walleye (with garlic herb butter) with baked potato, garlic bread and salad bar! I also had the same except with rice. OMG…it was amazing! Both girls came back several times to check on us! The walleye is so much better than a competitor on the lake with a water park….hands down!! We definitely will be back when we are in town!

Very good food! Service was great! Only reason I didn't give a 5 was my mixed drink was made wrong.
