Overall good food. We had the shoestring onion rings- good but very small pieces, Gizzards were little tough. Also had all you can eat fish and 2 sides of your choice. Mac n Cheese was out of this world. Fish could of been crispy but overall good flavor. Definitely recommend!

My wife and I were traveling east on I-80 back to our farm in Pennsylvania and we wanted something good to eat. We dove off the highway and found this gem. Good food in a wonderful little Iowa town.

They did a great job hosting our Realtors lunch meeting. They are not normally open during the day and we appreciate that they made an exception. Clean, friendly and tasty. Thanks
