The facility is faux-English pub, with a woody vibe and lots of nooks and crannies. Servers are earnest, friendly, and very helpful, albeit not polished or slick. So far I have sampled the "pork wings" (breaded and fried slices of tenderloin - AMAZING!!!); the Reuben (solid, though weirdly served with Thousand Island on the side, not on the sandwich); the platter of red onion rings (crazy delicious, if a tad salty); and the spinach and artichoke dip (very cheesy - mmmm). Friends and family have ordered the Walleye (looked wonderful), the nachos (a little odd and not recommended), the chicken fajita salad (unexpectedly lovely), and the ribeye (a wonderful cut of meat, sadly very overcooked). There are lots of beer choices and more varieties of wine than I expected (they carry Malbec!), well-poured drinks, and the one dessert we tried (my birthday girl caramel sundae) was lush. A word on portions and value: portions are HUGE. You'll probably need a box. Prices are very fair and seem low to this city girl: great value for your money! If you are in the area and want a nice sit down meal in a cozy, friendly spot, this is the place.

After a brother from Iowa shared his love for the food at this little sports bar in Charles City, IA., we took a ride out there last Saturday. The place was immediately next to the Cedar River, and thanks to quite a bit of recent rain, the river was roaring The waitress came to the table quickly, and we ordered a couple of sodas and pork tenderloin sandwiches. She was friendly, and even though it was obvious that she was busy, she was attentive and professional. The food arrived faster than we'd have thought, since it was busy, but it was wonderful. The fries were piping hot and crispy on the outside, and the pork sandwich was AWESOME. Soft roll, crisp, cold lettuce and tomato, and an amazing piece of perfectly cooked pork! The breading was light and perfectly crisp, and it was nearly too hot to eat when it arrived...the kitchen did a wonderful job. We'll absolutely go back - this little pub is a hidden gem!

We're just passing through and wanted to have a quick beer. Every place else in town we saw was either closed or closing, so here we went. There were about 10 or so people sitting at the bar at 945 on Wednesday night. The bartenders were immediately attentive, and pleasant. We ordered a round of draft beers, all reasonably priced. The bar was quiet, so one could hold a nice conversation. Exactly what I'd look for on a weekday night. The bartenders were both exceptionally polite to my parents and I, and carried on a nice conversation with us for the duration of our time there, covering a variety of topics. All I can say was, I came away quite impressed. I learned that the new owners have only had the bar for less than a year, but you can tell right away they run an excellent establishment. I'd recommend to anyone and I'll happily stop by the next time I come through town.

We came for happy hour and ordered an appetizer of wings. The wings were fantastic, and the cocktails were enjoyable, but it did take a while for someone to take our order, which was a little frustrating as I was trying to catch the happy hour specials. Eventually, the bartender came over, apologized for the wait, and was super friendly with a great personality. I've also ordered lunch from here several times, and my favorite dish is the Bruschetta Salad, which I get every time. It's a perfect option when dining with a group. Another thing I love about Pub 217 is the seasonal décor - they always do a great job switching it up throughout the year!

It was a Tuesday night and the place wasn't too busy so I sat at the bar. Delaney was a delight, made some great recommendations. Not pictured was the Wisconsin ale which was really good & the tomato bisque with the baguettes was a home-run. I enjoyed the crisp of the bacon and the flavor of the burger. Had a nice crisp and the chipotle with the onion ring & bacon went extremely well together. I loved how the fries were warm and crunchy. It didn't lack flavor either. They have many beers on tap along with bottled beer. I loved seeing customers 'Spin the wheel' as they drank whatever the number the wheel landed on. This is a great spot to visit if you're in town for work or visiting. The locals have a nice place here.

I think it came to them processed and ready to heat and serve. Just not great quality. The inside is very unique with different Star Wars statues and displays. I will stop back in someday.
