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.

Hooray, Morgen! Morgen took great care of my guest and me and did so always with a smile. She is an outstanding host and server! I enjoyed the "Graduate Smash Burger" - definitely a signature item (!!!) - and my guest gave thumbs up to the "Malted Waffle."

The News Room is a great eating establishment. The bar is shaped like a ship, there are news articles as the wall paper, and the music is on point. Our waitress was very nice, the food was amazing. We had the tortellini and Angus steak round, oh and the chocolate torte! Yum!
