Z's Eatery & Draught Haus

Taking It Step by Step

Z's Eatery & Draught Haus lives by the motto "Where Friends Become Family," emphasizing the power of food and drink to connect people. Chef Z, who began as a dishwasher and later earned a culinary degree, along with his father-in-law, took over Cal's in Indianola. Their ownership coincided with the pandemic, leading to interior improvements and takeout services. Despite challenges, the restaurant reopened in 2020. Chef Z's commitment to the community led to incorporating local products into the menu, like Warren County-sourced beef and produce. The establishment also features a diverse "Whiskey Wall." Chef Z's creative dishes and welcoming atmosphere contribute to making patrons feel like part of Z's family.
