Not wrong with it, really. I went because the reviews seemed like the kind of place I'd like to…read morehangout at. And it was a great place, just not a lot of room. I'll be surprised if the fire commissioner allows crowds of over 75 in that place. And I say that as a former firefighter, it's not a very big place. It is a cash only bar, which can get annoying because if you don't tip after every order, you'd be ignored the next time you want to order. No elbow room at the bar. The stools are very close together. I could see myself going back there, maybe in the daytime when it's slow, but I definitely wouldn't go on a Friday or Saturday night when everyone is out bar hopping

There were 2 guys playing cards but the rotating group of young, drunk 20 somethings- screamed that we were in the place. Bottles of beer were $3- all beer for $3. Getting drunk cheap appeared easy to do.

(or maybe that is just my perception) I love this place for many reasons: 1.) The bartender (that I believe no longer works there but I still love her, Katie.) The reason I went there so much. 2.) Good stiff drinks that are cheap 3.) Pool tables 4.) Juke Box that plays Janis Joplin, David Bowie and other generally good songs (when your drunk) 5.) SALTY popcorn that taste amazing aka "crack" 6.) mini pitchers 7.) being allowed to dance around with my shoes off 8.) usually not crowded 9.) "Talk Sex with Sue" would be playing on the TV 10.) annoying frat boys got kicked out by the bartender for being annoying 11.) etc. 12.) etc.

This restaurant has the absolute BEST pork tenderloin sandwich I've ever had anywhere .... and I've…read moretried this item at dozens of different restaurants across Iowa. Their version is the perfect thickness, and deep fried to the magical moment when it's still tender inside and has a great crisp bite every time. And it was $7.95 with a side of homemade hash browns that were also cooked 'just right'. An incredible meal that I plan to make a regular stop on my eating out rotation. This is a family restaurant that has been owned by two sisters for the last 15 years. And they both are terrific cooks, as is the other regular cook there. It's a true value priced small town place and the servings are generous. It's about a dozen miles north of Waverly. They also have daily 'supper specials' (see attached photo) - including broasted chicken on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 4:00 pm til closing. Five deserving stars. Don't miss this gem. Most HIGHLY recommended!
