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.

It was a lively and packed night at The Block - which was great! The highlight of the night was Keith. Before we got there Amilia says, "I hope we get Keith again tonight!" Well, it worked out that we did. He remembers our usuals and is great about making any changes we'd like. I added beer cheese to my burger and queso dip for my fries. I didn't even know we could do that. Thanks to Keith for the suggestions and advice! So many laughs, fun conversations, good music, and great people. Look forward to doing it again next week!

We eat here often and like the atmosphere and food. I love the beet salad. New desserts would be a nice change. The wait staff are very pleasant.
