We had a family gathering (nine adults age 50s to 80s) on a recent Sunday evening. They are taking precautions against the virus, including spacing out the tables. There is a huge, walled, outdoor seating area with picnic tables, smaller tables, and large awnings to provide shade. They also have a large indoor seating area and a long bar. It is located on the east end of downtown. The area felt safe, and there is ample parking. Food was ordered in a separate room and was delivered to our picnic tables when it was ready. Some of us had bone-in wings (we had the Buffalo and bbq) and they were great ( 75 cents on Sundays). Others in our group had various burger baskets. All were perfectly done and included shoe-string style French fries. Prices were about $10. They have plenty of non- burger items available as well, including salads. Soda pop is $1.50, and self-serve with free refills. The staff was friendly and efficient, food came out quickly, and everything was clean. The customers were primarily 20s to 40s during our visit, and well behaved. We had a great time, and we will return.

100 beers on tap and a big appetite! I enjoy the amount of space inside and outside of the bar. I enjoy the large tvs throughout the inside and I love the outdoor space when you can enjoy it during the warmer months. Their updated menu is pretty decent! I had the chicken bacon ranch wrap and it was so delicious! Who needs the return of the McDonald's Snack Wrap when you can have the delicious thick bad boy. Unlike before, if you want fries you do have to purchase those separately now. The prices aren’t too bad either, especially if you go for the burger or tenderloin basket nights. The beer selection is mainly why I frequent this establishment. 100 beers on tap, you are bound to find something you LOVE! I’m always trying new ciders and sours that other places may not offer. Armored Gardens is such a great place to come and hang out whether you're with a group of friends, on a date, or even riding solo. To WRAP up my review, Armored Gardens is always a favorite in my heart and a must try if you are a beer connoisseur.

First off I’ve absolutely loved this place. Came in to try it for the first time for lunch. Not much of a cider guy but today’s special was all the cider was half off so I dabbled. They have very unique choices from many local breweries which is pretty cool. 9 ciders out of 100 different taps so Many to choose from. Tried 4 different ones for 3 dollars a pop! Ordered the Cajun burger which was absolutely great. Kinda of a better tasting quality Steak ‘n Shake style patty. It wasn’t too busy but my food came out fast, hot, and fresh in like 5 min. Fries were piping hot and got a side a beer cheese. Service was great, Nikki never let my beverage hit the bottom before offering another. Definitely coming back again for sure.

I travel the world for a living and I love to try Wings all over the world. Enough that I have my own wing blog!🍗 Their Wings were amazing! Cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and their flavor was amazing. My only complaint is they wouldn't let me mix two flavors. They had so many to choose from. I usually only eat three or four wings and I really wanted half and half order. But they said no. I would love to have tried at least2. I'm so glad I chose the dry rub garlic parm. They were so yummy. They actually get my rare rating of 10. I definitely recommend this place. Great atmosphere and so many amazing choices of Frosty beverages! #winginit #misadventuresofmissadventure

Best burger I have had in so long, absolutely no question or competition. Outstanding portions for very fair prices. In the picture is their Chicken Strip basket on the top left, their Pork Tenderloin sandwich at the top, an order of cheddar bacon fries on the right, and a Frisco Burger on the bottom left. Waters to drink. All of this was around $36. I personally had the Frisco burger and it was the best Frisco I have ever had. My grandfather had the pork tenderloin and said though it was unbreaded it was very tender and delicious. Fries come in heavy portions and definitely don't taste like they come from a box, excellent french fries. Chicken strips were average but not disappointing.

Used to be my favorite spot. Felt like they were prideful of not being like any other places around. Staff felt like they cared and thoroughly enjoyed being there (as a life-long service worker, this is something you just pick up on). I’ve noticed my favorite bartenders haven’t been around as much and dropping off one by one, and now there’s a huge shift from being niche and detail-oriented, to feeling like any other sports bar. Food is good, but for the price and atmosphere, might as well hit up BWW. Hoping to see this turn around before it’s eaten up, chewed on, and spit out by the bud-light strikers. I come here to feel like I’m not in Iowa, not the middle of it
