Fort Colony Restaurant — Restaurant in Fort Madison

Food quality was poor my fiance got a double hamburger with just ketchup it was two processed thin patties wasn't even hamburger...and was not that great he ended up feeding it to the dogs I'm not sure they should have even eaten it.. I got a chef salad and cottage cheese with Western dressing which to those who don't know what that is it's only Catalina I guess they changed the name as a house dressing.. it was mostly l toppings then lettuce I do like my toppings but lettuce is important as well to make it a salad it was just a container of toppings and the dressing tasted funny maybe because it was warm.. cottage cheese was decent but overpriced.. atmosphere was poor.. place was filthy looked like it had not been cleaned or updated.. food was way overpriced for the quality of food.. looks like there was more flies in the building than there was food quality. Or customers.. we did a pickup order I'm glad we didn't stay to eat I don't think I could have stomached it.. staff was semi friendly. I do not recommend. I'm new to the state but there are way better restaurants out there even fast food .I think at this point would be better. !!! Not even worth trying to get my money back I just wanted to...

Whenever we go to the Fort Colony, whether its for a fast meal, or with friends, or as family. We have always had excellent meals. The Food- for decades I have had most of their menu items. Some of our personal favorites are the deep fried chicken, and the their pork tenderloin. The Friday All You Can Eat fish. You can't go wrong with anything for the kids either. Now that I am able to eat from the Senior menu, it's as good as well. The bonus is you get a dessert. The Service: This is a full service restaurant, meaning that the staff work together to give you the best. We were seated immediately, our drinks arrived shortly after. We took our time deciding on what we liked. We shared and appetizer and the main. Which helped us from overindulging. The Atmosphere: As I said, over the years, we have visited this restaurant. They have kept up with the times. It has stayed contemporary and fresh. And I highly recommend the vegetable beef soup. They may have stayed relevant, but the recipe is still one of the best...

The service was good. Our waitress was amazing, the atmosphere was okay, it was not super busy and that definitely could have played a part.

The food though was atrocious. The appetizers we got were cheese balls and they did not taste fresh. It truly tasted like they are ordered in, the batter is bland and no flavor. The steak my friend got which was to be medium rare was well done. The steak had no seasoning at all and just was not what was ordered.

My other friend got pineapple crepes which the pineapple was shredded and seemed canned.

I got a Gyro and it was no resemblance to one. The meat was processed sausage that tasted disgusting. I took one bite and spit it out and did just threw it away after leaving. The food here was a big let down and we had heard it was not good but we figured to give it a try.

Overall experience I do not recommend it at all.

We were told the owner would call us. He never reached out to us, we left our info with the waitress who insisted on us leaving our...
