    I went to this place for the first time yesterday, Saturday, August 8 specifically to have the…read morePrime Rib ... i had saw the review by the IOWA gallivant online for this particular item at this restaurant I arrived about 4 PM was taken to a table immediately. Was seated by a very nice individual and was given a menu and asked what I would like to drink. I ordered the prime rib, medium rare more towards rare. It's a queen size is what it goes by on the menu you get the salad bar and a type of potato that you want. I ordered the mashed potatoes with garlic . I had the raspberry tea, so I went to the salad bar, which was very well stocked and looked very enticing. Everything was very good off the salad bar that I enjoyed. Before I was finished with my salads my entree arrived. The prime rib was cooked to perfection it came with au jus and horseradish. The Prime Rib was very high-quality very good tasting beef, the au jus was very tasty not too much sodium and enhanced the prime rib. The potatoes were remarkable. Very tasty. Just the right amount of garlic needed. My waiter was Bre She did a fantastic job so I was very pleased with this outing even though I had to drive almost 2 hours to get to this establishment in McGregor I would go back and take some friends along so they can enjoy it also in the future. This business does not take credit cards. It will do cash and a check, but they do have a ATM machine if you don't have enough cash with you

    We read about the specials online and were pretty excited to go here. Our excitement was short…read morelived. The restaurant itself is decorated like a saloon from the past, which is pretty neat. It's a "seat yourself" business so we went to do just that only to find out the smallest table holds six people and there were only two of us. I'm not talking about the only tables open, I'm talking about any of the tables. We felt bad taking up that big of a table for just two people but there were no other options. We both ordered the special - all you can eat walleye with a side (we chose hash browns) and salad bar. The salad bar was decent but nothing extraordinary. Your normal mix of lettuce salad and toppings, salads, cottage cheese, that sort of thing. Now for the main course. Our fish was way overcooked. It was dark brown and crispy. You got a lot but it was almost burnt. It had good flavors and would have been good were it not overcooked. The hash browns were ok but had a slightly off taste. As for the service. The waitress was abrupt and borderline rude. She never smiled, looked our heads when talking to us, she acted like we were bothering her. The bartender, who someone said was the owner, was snapping at her staff and snapped at two people checking into the hotel. Just not pleasant staff overall. I don't expect to be bowed down to, but a little common courtesy goes a long way. And as a heads up, they only take cash or local check. There is an ATM on site with a $2.50 charge. All in all not a horrible place to eat but far from the best.

    Patio is a great area. If you're going for a casual/fun night out to hang out with people then this…read moreis a great place. Food was left to be desired though. Chicken was super dry and over cooked. Fries were plain. Cheese curds were decent though. Service was very friendly. Staff was attentive too.
