Good food (I had the SW chicken salad and the party shared a few apps - get the cheese curds!). Our server was wonderful and handled our group of 12 amazingly. Nice, chill atmosphere.
Can I leave 100 stars? So many local (Iowa) draft beers! Beers and food arrived to our table with lightning speed! Everything exactly as ordered, and fresh. Our server Dylan was awesome (he deserves a raise!!) Answered all our questions with patience and recommended beers based on our tastes. Ordering and checkout (at the table) was easy and fast. Dylan also answered my questions about the area which was super helpful. I got the Buffalo chicken sandwich which was delicious and my husband got the chicken fried chicken (gobbled up). We will be back for sure.
First time going here. For significant others birthday. Very good choice for a nice experience and meal away from home. Relaxing atmosphere, yet lively with groups of people. Seemed like a place that would be good for large or small groups bc so few places can handle very many large groups. You're covered here. Service was good. Food was delicious. Would recommend the fish and chips. The artichoke dip was good but portion small. Would rather pay more and have more to share. Some didn't like the bread that's served with it. On the fish and chips the slaw was a garnish amount in essence. It was a great complement to the fish and chips. Would like to have gotten more of that with the meal. But overall those are the only constructive criticisms we had. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back. Someone that did not get the fish and chips this time is looking forward to getting it next time. I was kind enough to share a bite of mine.
