The fries could've been cooked a bit longer and they went a bit overkill on lettuce, but that is my preference.

We ordered a pumpkin spice coffee, onion rings, a Philly wrap, and the Fish and Shrimp Dinner. The…read morepumpkin spice coffee tasted alcoholic, somehow. It was horribly bitter and acidic. The onion rings were fine, good even. The ranch, however, was watered-down and horribly thin. At first my partner suggested it was homemade because of its consistency. If this is homemade ranch, please switch to a commercial alternative. The soups that came with the meals were good. Canned, for sure, but from quality cans which I can appreciate for what they are. The real problem was the Philly wrap. I should have taken more photos to display the sheer scale of the portion, I could cover the whole wrap with my hand. It was $10.75 for a wrap the size of a McDonald's breakfast wrap. You know, the ones available for purchase TWO AT A TIME because of their small size. My Fish and Shrimp dinner was subpar, but nothing horrible. The fish is advertised as "freshly breaded", quotations included. The quotations do a lot of heavy lifting in this claim as the breading was soggy by the time it arrived at the table. I still tipped 18% because I'm not a monster and this wasn't the waitress' fault. She was very sweet and came around to check on us. Overall: I write this scathing but honest review to ward off future customers. This is assuredly the most unfortunate $50+ dollars I have ever spent.

The little building doesn't look like much but if you're hungry, don't pass by. They also offer a buffet at times. One person in our group had a burger and onion rings. The burger was ok, a typical frozen patty, but the onion rings were delicious. Another person had the hot beef and finished her meal before everyone, so it must have been delicious. A third person had a simple grilled chicken salad. Trying to avoid carbs, I opted for grilled chicken, cottage cheese, tomatoes, with toast. It was delicious! Simple and delicious. We were served quickly, food was hot, service excellent. Worth a stop! The only thing I didn't like was the bathroom. It's very tiny and there is a table right next to it so other guests can hear you use the restroom. Most of the patrons were older adults.

Then it rained for 12 hours, resulting in extensive water damage and eventually mold set in due to the extreme heat. Ken has also been fighting cancer for 14 years, and he's been displaced ever since his home was damaged. To make a long story short, while looking for a good restaurant to eat at, we stumbled upon Harvey's on Military road in Sioux City, and I'm glad that we did! The place was super clean, they give you HUGE portions, and talk about fast and friendly service! Not only was our waitress Cayla super nice, so was the cook, Cody. And come to find out, they're twins! I have twins in my family, and when Cayla had a few minutes to spare, she approached our table, and we chatted briefly about multiples, as well as what brought us to Harvey's that particular day. So, as far as Ken and I are concerned, Harvey's is at the top of our list! Their food is delicious, and the staff is super friendly! So for those of you reading this review, whenever you're in the Military Road area in Sioux City, and you're hungry, stop at Harvey's restaurant, and you won't be dissapointed! Thank you Harvey's, especially Cayla and Cody! PS- make sure to come with an empty stomach and a hearty appetite! Diana and Ken

The restaurant is decorated well and the ambiance is chic without being snooty. Our waitress, Katie, was attentive, friendly, and professional. The food, you ask? Well, my husband had the dinner special - chimichurri surf and turf. The steak was cooked perfectly (medium rare) and the shrimp was succulent. The asparagus was cooked just as he loves - tender-crisp. I had the "clobster" with homemade chips. Now for those of you who are like me and have eaten lobster rolls in the New England area, Pacific Nortwest, and worldwide coastal areas, this is NOT served cold! I was extremely surprised when I bit in and warmth permeated my mouth! It was delicious but as happens with warm juices, the toasted bun, alas, turned soggy. And a few chips were underdone...the ones cooked well were tasty and crisp. We both shared the chocolate pie and it was rich and satisfying. So, if you find yourself on the Historic 4th, go ahead and take that chance and sup there...you won't regret it!

I visited this restaurant thinking there is no way my picky colleague had eaten here, but it turns…read moreout he did with another colleague when he was visiting town in 2025. This is on the bottom floor of a modern residential building just on the outside of downtown and once inside I thought it was a fairly large sized restaurant for this particular city. The menu consists of many dishes which I typically order, just not sure I would order them in Iowa, that's the only thing. We were sat right away, but when we were led closer to our booth, the hostess held us up while she checked on a nearby computer to make sure the table was in the right area I'm guessing. It was and she motioned us to go toward the one open booth in the center of the restaurant in an area behind the chilled wine cabinets. The interior seems to be a combination of mcm and modern, but I liked it. I ended up choosing the duck breast dish and a cup of lobster bisque. Lobster bisque - small and I didn't see or taste any actual lobster. There were plenty of diced tomatoes and a sliver of green onion in this. The taste was ok though. Duck breast - this was an okay dish. My avid hunting colleague asked me what type duck is it, so I had to look up what type ducks Maple Leaf Farms typically utilizes. Turns out it's the White Pekin ducks, due to their mild un-gamey flavor. They are supposed to be tender but a few if my slices were a bit chewy. Either way, it was a decent dish, but Im not a huge fan of risotto and would probably order something different next time. I was also tempted to order a dessert, because I was in the mood and was curious what a cashew cobbler was. It turns out that it's a lot of ice cream and just a bit of mashed up nuts. It was interesting to say the least. My colleague said his meal was ok, but he was having stomach issues after the first bite, due to something he ate earlier in the day so he ended up not eating another bite and had to throw the rest away, unfortunately. He did say the pork chop was a bit dry anyway.

We ordered the chips and spinach dip appetizer and the chips were super salty. We both ordered steak and my wife asked for medium well but it was medium rare. The steaks were rather dry and blackened on the outside. Our loaded baked potatoes were decent but no restaurant should put sour cream at the bottom of a steaming hot potato because it just dissolves and was barely noticeable. My sweet tea was way too sweet to drink. I had to request a unsweetened tea. If i'm ever in the area I'll not go back to Outback Steak House.

My son loved the fall off the bone ribs and the side of fried onions was a hit. It was a looong 1/4 mile walk uphill to the restaurant from the Hilton but the downhill walk was refreshing after dinner.
