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.

We had a wonderful dining experience at Bacio. The waiter was the key to a very enjoyable evening. Even though the noise level was high, we had a great table for conversation.

The food was fantastic all around! We got the grilled fish, the Redstone burger, and the baby back ribs. The ribs were literally to DIE for. And yes, I mean literally, not figuratively. The ambiance was also very pleasant! However the best part was the dessert! The chocolate cookie sundae was the bomb, the holy grail, the GOAT of all desserts. So delicious! I will be dreaming about this dessert for years to come. 10/10 recommend this restaurant.

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!
