The Flour Mill - Avoca — Restaurant in Avoca

If you don't even believe there's a God then skip past this review because I am not kidding when I say my experience was a religious one. I had passed on some alfredo the night before because they served it over penne pasta and I was craving the real thing. I trust it was God's omniscience and deep love for His kids that guided us the very next day to Elk Horn, IA where they know pasta at The Flour Mill. We honestly had no intention of stopping on our long drive home from South Dakota, heading to SE Iowa when we came to the exit. "Something" told us to take that exit and drive 5 miles AWAY from home to this little town.

Never have I ever had such a wonderful plate of alfredo. The service was great, too. We can't wait...

We made a detour into Elk Horn to visit the Danish Museum. We were hungry so stopped at The Flour Mill for lunch. What a delightfully tasty treat that was!

The best pizza EVER! Hand tossed, cooked perfectly, choose your sauce, meat and toppings. The cheese bread, which was also excellent, came with a smooth dipping sauce that we wanted to take home. This is the first time we've seen garlic powder in a shaker on the table. I remembered to take pictures of the appetizer, but was so excited for the pizza I had to take pictures of the one leftover piece at home! Small town small restaurant and the staff were still wonderful, even with the weekend onslaught! WELL worth the money...
