    Great service. Lots of beers to choose from. Cool environment for a small town. Worth the stop.

    Group stopped during Ragbrai along with around 25,000 other participants. All the locals we spoke…read moreto said this is best place in town. They were correct. Because of the deluge of people in town, menu was taken out only and was choice of lasagna and a calzone type sandwich. They ran out of the lasagna just before we got to front so friend ordered food while I secured a cool spot to sit upstairs in bar. ALL of the staff were incredible and friendly. Bartenders were awesome and we put them to task. Several rounds. The "pizone", aka calzone was very good, fresh baked bread loaf with sauce, meat and cheese baked into it.

    Planned this stop on my 6,000 mile summer food tour for the "panino" which sounded unique and read…read moresome sites saying it was a must try in Iowa. Arrived excited as I saw the menu had fried gizzards and also deep fried angus steak cubes. I ordered both and the panino. The gizzard breading immediately made me think of long John silver fried clams oddly enough. The steak was flavorful but a bit on the tough overcooked side. The panino ended up being a slightly thinly filled pepperoni roll with meatballs added which was slightly a downer. Had to ask for my refill as the waitress while nice seemed to be working the kitchen as well. Waited about 15 minutes to get my check from the time I took my card out and put it on the table. On paper it was cool...but nothing wowed me enough to recommend.

    Second time coming in. Can't say I like their beer but the food is tasty…read more Got a burger and cheese curds this time. Super filling. The fist time, we shared a crab Rangoon pizza, which was oddly delicious. Will definitely come again.

    TG.... Are you guys ok??? This was AT BEST a glorified McDonald's. Poor service, the menu was awful…read moreand the beer selections have declined severely. First, I'd like to state that I have visited TG several times in the past. I was so excited to take my girlfriends as I had many amazing meals in the past with their vegan/vegetarian selections, and was confident we would all find something delicious. WOW. What a shock to see the "new" menu which had zero vegan options and the other items were basically an Applebees knock off. The sides we did piece together for a meal were ok and our one brave friend who ordered a chicken bacon wrap said it tasted like they made it hours ago and had no flavor or outstanding qualities. Our experience made me so sad and embarrassed for TG as we travel from out of state to visit decorah. We always look forward to our favorite pseudo sue and the menu, but sadly will probably never return. The restaurant was freezing, the service was not friendly, people had their toddlers screaming and running around at 9pm, just not what you want when you are looking to relax with a beer and food at the end of the day. If this is the demand here in decorah this is not it for your visitors.
