I'm in my 50s and fat, so I have had my fair share of burgers. I ordered the Blue Cheese Burger. It was the best burger I have ever had in my life. The burger was grilled and perfectly salty. It had a large chunk of blue cheese and sauce. I added sautéed onions. I ordered a side of waffle fries. They were wonderful. They are crispy coated and seasoned. AND their ranch is homemade. We will be going there once per week. Update: The fatness has caught up with me. I can not eat carbs. So I ordered my burger without a bun, dinner salad, and the Key West veggies. Everything was great! What's nice is that instead of a steamed broccoli(boring), the veggie side was green beans and orange and yellow carrots. They were so delicious. I still go there once per week! Let's talk about mushrooms. Typically, when you order breaded mushrooms, they are the same little button mushrooms with the same breading...soggy little eyeball things. But not here!

Read moreWe stopped by just cause it was open and we were driving by. First of all, we had a camper and were able to park in the restaurant parking without issues. We got greeted and sitted right away. The place was very busy for a Thursday afternoon, but even so we got our beverages pretty quick. Had to wait a bit for food, but it was worth the wait. Pleasant and simple atmosphere. Good staff and yummy food...Special thanks to our waitress, I don't know the name, but even though she was really busy she did a great job and was very pleasant, attentive and not overbearing. We apriciated when she would say. "I will do .... and be right over with your drinks" made us aware it will be a few but she is on it" I am sure we would stopped again if we are...
Read moreWe went to the Grid Iron to have what the Iowa Pork Producers Association deems the "Best Breaded Pork Tenderloin in Iowa". The grid Iron is a very nice local restaurant and sports bar with ample seating, plenty of big screen TV's and a friendly staff. We came in search of this year's lauded pork tenderloin. The sandwich delivered to our table was as large as advertised and the accompanying onion rings (slight upcharge) were crispy and tasty. The tenderloin? Good...but not great. The breading was crispy and done to a golden brown and the meat was thick and juicy, but lacked character and if a taste was discernible it was salt. The lunch buffet looked fantastic and I think we'll give it a try...
