We will never do it at another restaurant again. It reminded us of being in our 20's and hanging out, eating & dancing at the places we used to frequent in SE Iowa.

The bartender happened to be the granddaughter of the owner and great granddaughter of Patty her self. Everyone, staff and costumers were friendly and made us feel welcome. We didn't try the pizza but they looked pretty good. If you like a little bit of shit with your coffee it's one of their specialties. I highly recommend the Australian Rubber Nuts. They're not on the menu you have to ask for them. Enjoy

When you roam the road of Iowa, you encounter a lot of interesting sights and people. My wife and…read moreI always enjoy stopping by a local bar because you never know what to expect. Patty's Back Door in Grand River IA is one example of what I am talking about. The owners of Patty's are incredibly easy going and welcoming. This is a straight-forward, nothing fancy bar with a single pool table and standard American beers (Bud, Coors, Miller, etc.). They have an incredible jukebox with anything and everything on it (which I loved!!). I cannot speak to the food (we did not eat), just the cheap beers and down to earth conversations with other guests and staff. As a bar, this establishment (we were told) has been around since the 1940s and with hospitality and simple small town charm like this, it is no wonder. Patty's made Grand River IA a memorable place to stop.

They also had board games and 2 arcade style game machines in the back! Their draft beer options are super expansive! I was here on a Tuesday and it was packed!! Only issue was because of this being a popular spot, the service was very slow so keep that in mind if you are in a rush to be somewhere after. Otherwise, I loved the vibe in here and there were a ton of 4 person high top tables you could seat yourself at that offered great views of the tvs. There were also a few larger tables for big groups, as well as ample bar seating.

The place was packed when we got there with friendly diners. The service was excellent. We were made to feel very comfortable immediately. The food, wonderful. We tried the Bentley burger which was huge and the Main Street burger which was delicious. The food is typical "bar" food with a little flair. Reasonably priced and a good variety. Looking at the plates around us, everything looked delicious. I suggest making the road trip to Garden Grove IA and checking out The Stag. You can make a weekend of it and stay in one of the inns rooms for the night.
