Thirty Bales is a celebration of everything Midwestern cuisine has to offer. We're an upbeat neighborhood restaurant bringing together bright personalities, bold recipes, clean ingredients and craft spirits and playing with the flavors that make the Midwest a place unlike any other.If you're curious about our name, it comes from the legend of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. As the story goes, Babe had an appetite as big as Bunyan himself and is rumored to have eaten 30 bales of hay a day.Like our restaurant's big blue spirit animal, we're a pack of people that lives to eat and drink. We're endlessly in love with the Midwest and its connection to seasonal ingredients grown close to home. It's what inspires our menu and our team. And it's what inspires us as we tell our own story with the flavors and spirits of the Midwest.

    Great server. Mars I believe was her name. The short rib chili and the Lucette burger were delish! The Caesar salad chicken sandwich was not my favorite. The bun was soggy and the sandwich was flavorless.

    We had a wonderful meal, shared 3 different pizzas (Cubano special, Forager, & Korean BBQ) and each one was delightfully and deliciously different yet completed each other. Our sever was knowledgeable and attentive. The only issue is we were seated too close to the speakers so it was difficult to hear each other. I should have asked to move tables, so that’s on me. Something to be aware of though if you are more than two people.

    Delicious food and cocktails. Had the Roasted Brussels Sprouts and the Bison Steak Frites.The Brussels were very roasted and still moist and delicious. The Bison Steak was perfectly done and the accompanying fries tasty all alone or with the optional dill aioli. Only not was the food took a bit to arrive, but was well worth the wait.
