Went on a Saturday night during a snowstorm, I was glad that they were open. The food was really good, but took a while to come out, I do think it was worth the wait.

We walked in and the waitress was sitting down on her phone and we were ignored. She was into her conversation. First impressions are lasting impressions, we will never go back. Visited on August 4th 2023 at 3:30pm. So who ever was on shift there needs to be fired!!!!!

I only give 3 because the decor is a tad out of date.

Asked for a bit, came out with 3 tiny pieces of bacon and the bread was hard as a rock. Need a filtration system on the water, it tasted awful. Waitress was nice but with no one else in the restaurant our drinks sat empty and food took 45 minutes for kids mac and cheese, a bit with fries, a sandwich, and a salad.

Stopped in Saturday afternoon, was greeted by a very attentive bartender. At my request she changed the TV to the Preakness horse race and made sure I was not without an ice cold bottle of Miller Lite for long. Met some friendly locals and had a great time. Found this place by accident heading to Cedar Rapids. Will definitely be back.

We enjoyed every bit. Our server was Audrey B. She knocked it out of the park! She was amazing! She answered all our questions. The food was fresh and hot. I had the Beef Taco Salad, hunny had the cheeseburger wrap. Lil miss had Mac & Cheese with fries. Lil man had Grilled Cheese with Cottage Cheese. In the copper cup was a drink called the “Mule”. The copper cup was ice cold to the touch. The drink was delicious. Would recommend it. It was worth the walk.

Great place to eat. They have music bingo which is a great hit with the customers. The owners are super nice and have a great catering business. All meals are definitely handmade and delicious.

The service was amazing. I had the spinach artichoke dip and a french dip and swiss. The dip was really good but very oily. The French dip had more of a low grade skirt steak strips than roast beef and was terrible, absolutely no flavor.

Trevor was amazing, first time I came in and will definitely come back. The way he served us made me feel like he’d be a great bartending cause he was personable, informative, and helpful. Will stop back again

First time here in awhile and will only be back for the cheeseburger soup. The tenderloin was definitely frozen before hand. Definitely not the same as it used to be. Called in an order and was told 20 minutes and I arrived accordingly. There was just a few people in the restaurant. The lady behind the bar was very rude. Barely said much to me. The fries were cold. And the lava cake had no lava. Definitely another previously frozen item. I understand keeping costs down during these covid times but come on!!
