Salad Bar alone would take me back here. While it's not as big as other salad bars (like Nicks in…read moreClive, IA) it's still a great salad bar. Cheese Curds: we like these because they were battered, not breaded. Piping hot, very good. Plain Burger: my son says it was good ‍ but wasn't interested in sharing so I didn't actually try it. Prime Rib: I ordered a medium rare but, unfortunately, it was super dry even with the au jus side. Lately, I've been disappointed more than not by prime ribs that are bland and dry. Sirloin: alternatively, this was very juicy and delicious. Great grill flavor and lovely side of mushrooms. Broasted Chicken: in true "me" fashion, I ordered two entrees. While my salad bar trip was great and my prime rib was so-so, this more than made up for it! Soooooo juicy and flavorful, highly recommend their broasted chicken. Chopped Steak: my husband loves a chopped steak. Don't ask me why, it's not at the top of my list but to each their own. He didn't love the demi glaze on this dish, and thought their beef gravy would be been much better. The demi was "too much wine" flavor. I can't say "too much red wine" is anywhere in my dictionary but whatever. We really enjoyed this dinner, even with the dry prime rib, and plan to go back for that salad bar and broasted chicken.

Camping outside of Webster City, we always look for a local spot to try when we travel. Tonight,…read morelucky us, it was the Grid Iron. Be prepared to show a little grace, there were a lot of cars turning in there as we came up to it- from the food, I'm guessing they're always busy! My wife chose their mainline burger (no cheese) and house fries. Honestly, I think we could tell how good it was going to be when got out of the car and that awesome charbroil smell overwhelmed us. She loved it. I had the Chipotle Bacon cheeseburger on Texas toast, well done for me (they will prepare to your liking), which is charbroiled, then dunked in their home made bourbon sauce and served with Swiss cheese and jalapeños. The fries have some type of coating that makes them a little crispier and a little tastier. Even if you're cruising up I35, it's worth the detour into WC for a great meal. Plenty of tv's but even with a crowd, you can still have enjoyable conversation at your table. It's no wonder one whole wall is covered with "best of" awards. They deserve them. Bon Appetite!

I'd spent spring, summer, and most of fall trying to catch Whatcha Smokin' at the Des Moines Farmers Market. When I showed up, they didn't. When they showed up, I couldn't. Months of missed connections, all building toward the final market of the season. Today, finally, there they were. I ordered the Briscuits and Gravy. Brisket meets biscuits and gravy. With Halloween around the corner, I was ready to applaud this particular experiment in reanimation. Some things deserve to be brought together in a laboratory. Then I took a bite. The biscuits were cold and hard, apparently awaiting identification at the county morgue. The brisket was dry enough to suggest whatever had killed it had happened some time ago. And the gravy was sweet, thick, pasty, and had the texture of something you'd use to hang wallpaper in a funeral home. I kept eating, looking for the bite that would explain the line, the anticipation, the months I'd spent wanting this. A little smoke. A tender piece of beef. Any sign of life. Nothing. There's a particular sadness in a bad meal you've looked forward to. You've already imagined how good it's going to be. Then you're standing there in the October air, holding a plate of evidence that you were wrong. Mary Shelley gave her monster a chance. Mine cost $14 and came with gravy. Scary.

When I'm in Ames visiting my 95 year-old Dad, he loves road trips and dining out with his kids and…read moregrandkids. Boone is only 18 miles away, which isn't much of a drive, but there are some interesting places to eat here. One challenge though, is finding a place where Dad hasn't previously visited. So on my Brother's recommendation, we tried Roosters last week. It's just off Boone's main street and looks more like a corner bar from the outside. It's actually more like a sports bar that happens to serve breakfast in the morning. However, I don't think that their bar and breakfast hours run together. Or at least I didn't notice any local fixtures at the bar. As an aside, I know a friend that did that, which turned out to be beer and donuts at 5 AM. CONS - Relatively slow table service. +/- Folger's Plus type of coffee PROS - Easy street parking, which is basically true anywhere in Boone. - Nice Community vibe with a local "Men's Club" meeting at the next table. - Good Midwest comfort food in large portions. - A relatively inexpensive meal. -
