The Bread Board — Restaurant in Pella

The food was good. The service was crap. I wish the woman at the register would have smacked her gum a little louder up front so I could really feel right at home. The food was good, but the online menu was not transparent at all and not easy to understand. So when I relayed it over the phone, my price of $28 and some change bounced up to $42 and some change. I put $43 on the counter and left. I've never been so unimpressed with a clerk in my life. Ever. Even the more mature women around me were gawking and apologizing to me. One even offered to pay for my meal. Says a lot about the community. I do appreciate you, Pellacans. My boyfriend said the soup was good. I think the dessert bar was good, but not worth the price. I know some can justify this spending, but we will make food at home next time. Thanks...

I am in Pella for my mother's cancer surgery and snuck away for an hour to grab some non-hospital food (and to gather my thoughts). I found myself at the Bread Board... I didn't realize they served not only food, but LOVE. This food tastes like my long gone grandmother's "love"- fresh ingredients, made with care. My tummy AND my heart were filled over the past two days with some of the most amazing soups and breads I've ever had in my life and I've traveled the world. THANK YOU for this refuge. This will be a regular stop for me every time I go through town- you can even get frozen quarts of soup TO GO! The chicken and wild rice is the best I've ever had. RUN, don't walk and buy...

My friend picked up my order from here for me. She eats there often. I love bread pudding so I thought I would try it from here. Sadly the quality and quanity was very disappointing. The size was 3" Sq and 1" High and really tasteless. The cream cheese icing was the best part of it. Even the bread didn't have flavor. It cost $6.00 for that tiny serving. I also ordered the mushroom and Swiss quiche, again tiny for $8.95. It was smaller than a pot pie size. More crust than filling. There was maybe 4 tbsp of filling. I think the prices are too high for the quality and quanity of their food. I won't be ordering...
