We were new to the area and we were camping at Nauvoo State Park. Someone recommended the Green Bay Bar and Grill in Weaver, IL to us. Thursday night was a 10 oz. Ribeye special, and we were hungry for a good ribeye.
We stepped inside of Green Bay Bar and Grill and seated ourselves. The server came over and took our order. We both ordered the 10 oz Ribeye Special. It came with a salad and baked potato.
We opted for a Caesar salad which was $1 more per salad. Believe me, it was nothing to write home about. Then after a few bites of our salad, the server brought our steaks out. We didn't even get to enjoy the salad or relax before our meal came.
So now let me tell you about the steaks. My husband couldn't even cut his with the steak knife. He asked the server for another knife. She brought out two different knives for him to try ......still tough to cut. Then I looked at my steak and it was extremely thin. Surely not a 10 oz steak, but more like a 5-6 oz steak. Called the server over again. Showed the difference between the two steaks and she shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's just the cut". We weren't happy but so be it. The steaks themselves had NO seasoning on them and were flat tasking. Not good from the first bite and on.
The baked potato wasn't flaky at all, but quite soggy as though it had been reheated in the microwave. Our server brought our bill and said, "I can take $5 off.". $5 off a $46 meal. Oh boy!!!
We will not be back to Green Bay Bar and Grill the next time we go camping at Nauvoo State Park.
Beware of their so-called "Specials". No wonder everyone else we saw was eating a burger...
Read moreThis is one of, if not my favorite restaurants in Southeast Iowa. Green Bay Bar & Grill encapsulates everything you want in a small town bar/restaurant. From the amazing food to the homey atmosphere Green Bay will leave you wanting to come back again and again. It feels like your eating at your grand parents house and your favorite bar at the same time. I cannot say enough about their fair pricing. My wife and I can go to Green Bay, eat a meal and have a couple drinks for under $40. I cannot stress enough how much we truly love this place. It is the gem of Southeast Iowa and I hope they are open for a hundred more years. P.S. They have some of the best ranch around, which is a...
Read moreGreat little local bar/restaurant just off thr hightway between Burlington and Ft. Madison Had the brisket sandwich and the meatloaf special. Piles of brisket on the bun and very tender. Meatloaf & mashed potatoes homemade with plenty of gravy. Bar fully stocked and they have Ruthie's on tap! 👍Was a Sunday afternoon and locals drifted in and out.
