Three of us were finished eating before rh other two even got food. Not enough wait staff on a Saturday evening. One was waiting tables and bar tending . Then there was also a waitress. Unless you order alcohol, they won't be in a hurry to help you. Ridiculous. Food was good. Service was completely lacking. After an hour, they came back to the table to take the two remaining people's orders again. Too late to eat by the time they got their food.

We decided to stop at Sunset Family Restaurant for lunch today and had a really disappointing…read moreexperience. We didn't realize they closed at 2 PM. We showed up at 1:25 and the place was PACKED, so we didn't think anything of it. We walked in and the server immediately told us, "Please sit on this side, we're closing at 2." Mind you, it was still 1:25... we followed her instructions and sat on the side she wanted us to since they were closing in about 30 minutes, and there were still TONS of people in the restaurant. The server who took our table immediately seemed annoyed that we had even sat down. It was me, my mom, my grandma and my daughter. My grandma is 85 years old and very hard of hearing. When the server came back to take our drink order, she rudely said, "What do you want to drink?" My grandma didn't hear her and thought she was asking what she wanted to eat, so she started telling her what she wanted. The server then loudly and rudely said, "I SAID DRINK." At that point I was completely fed up. I told my family we were not eating there. Nobody is going to treat my 85-year-old grandmother like that, especially over something as simple as her not hearing you. We walked out and told them we weren't eating there because of the way our server was treating us. Everyone just looked at us like deer in headlights. On top of that, the restaurant itself was dirty and did not look very clean. I understand restaurants have closing times and employees have things to do, but there is absolutely no reason to be rude or disrespectful to customers, especially an elderly woman who is hard of hearing. Needless to say, we will not be back and I definitely do NOT recommend this place.

Visiting nearby Backbone State Park, and we saw a sign for the city of Strawberry Point…read more.. We found the 120-year-old Franklin Hotel, a historic landmark, and its restaurant on a Sunday morning for their breakfast buffet. I had to do it, as the hotel looks and acts the part of nostalgia, and its dining facility was so inviting. Greeted warmly by a pair of staff members, we were seated in the main dining hall, which looks like it probably did over 100 years ago. Loved the lighting and the overall decor. It was late in their buffet offering, so we did not have as many choices as those before us, but we had eggs made to order, then sampled the bacon, carrots, and other assorted items on the buffet. The server was kind and never considered rushing us, which was terrific. Pricing was reasonable, and kindness was in abundance.

Both our dinners were perfectly cooked! I had a steak sandwich so juicy and well seasoned I required no sauce. His burger was unique and excellent. The owners son who was serving offered to give us a tour after we got to talking about the place. Glad we took him up on it! What a cool building and they've done a nice job renovating the rooms, while leaving some historical feel and furniture. Will definitely return and we'd like to stay and maybe host a gathering in either the party or the banquet room. What a lovely surprise this place is!

I guess it's just part of the local charm. They have a full bar which was nice. The horchata was interesting super cinnamony and it looked a little like they forgot to give it a good stir. The chips were sadly stale, but the salsa definitely made up for it! It had a fantastic kick. Our server was a bit overwhelmed, and he actually missed my son's order entirely. We ended up with three steak tacos with rice and beans on the side they don't do combo platters, which was a bit unusual. The tacos themselves were delicious though, with skirt steak! The rice and beans were great too. He eventually got my son's choriqueso chicken order in, super fast, but then there was a little tortilla mix up we asked for corn, got flour. To be honest, with the heat, the flies, and everything, we just wanted to get out of there at that point. The choriqueso chicken was okay, but the chorizo could have used a little more cooking time it had a slightly off flavor. We also grabbed two shrimp cocktails, and those were fantastic! They could have been a bit colder, but the flavor and the amount of shrimp were amazing, and the avocado was perfect. Overall, the food was pretty good, but honestly, I'd recommend takeout next time. It was just too hot and buggy to enjoy eating in! They really need to do something about those flies!

Mixteca Mexican Restaurant - Dyersville, IA…read more Met up with friends for dinner tonight and had a great experience at Mixteca. We got there around 5:30 and the place was maybe a quarter full--perfect for settling in without a rush. Our friends joined shortly after, and from the get-go, the service was friendly and attentive. The chips and salsa hit the table first and made a strong impression. The salsa was fresh, full of flavor, and not runny like you get at some places. Chips were crisp and clearly fresh--not the bottom-of-the-bag stuff. Three of us ordered fajitas and they did not disappoint. Big portions, sizzling hot, and packed with flavor. You could tell they weren't cutting corners. By 6:00 the place was filling up fast, but even as it got busy, the staff kept everything running smoothly. We never felt forgotten or rushed. All in all, a solid spot if you're craving Mexican food. Great portions, good atmosphere, and excellent service. Definitely recommend giving it a try.

Staff was friendly and attentive when drink glasses were needed to be refilled. Portion size was very good size we had enough for each of us take home for one more meal. The veggies were crisp and flavorful. The beef, chicken, pork and seafood was not tough or rubbery but very flavorful and tender. The Pan fried dumplings were amazing the spicy sauce that accompanied them had the right amount of kick to it and you can never go wrong with Crab Rangoon's hot and fresh from the kitchen. Price for a family of 4 will run around $65 - $70 with soup and appetizers. The most expensive meal that I remember was $12.95 per plate. Seating was comfortable and roomy the booths were longer and had plenty of room to hold our 4 entree's and drinks. This place will become our new go to Chinese Restaurant.
