I was late getting my act together and I am glad I did. I will be getting my breakfast and or burgers here in the future when we are in town. What a great egg breakfast! Cooked just like I love them, "take the "wiggle" out of the white." Seems like an easy request however many a cook get it wrong as far as I am concerned. They usually turn the yoke into a hockey puck. Just give them a try and go back in time like the old cafes were back in the day. I am not saying it is outdated, I am saying come and enjoy a meal that will satisfy you and not break the bank. Thank you for reading this all the way through.

Both of our burgers came out well done. When I told the waitress that they were well done, she said "well I put it on the ticket" and walked away. I tried to take another bite but it really was way overdone and for me it was not worth eating (my husband ate his and said even though it was way overcooked he was too hungry to not eat it). Next time the waitress came around my husband flagged her down and told her that my burger was much worse than his and I really couldn't eat it. She said she would take it off the check , but didn't ask if I would like anything else or have it re-made. Luckily I had ordered a side salad and ended up just having that and eating something else once I got home.

This review is mostly for restaurant only. I have been to the Comet Bowl restaurant now and then…read moreover the past 40 or so years, but it has probably been 8 years since my most recent visit, until my return, which was just a few evenings ago. The food is quite good. There was just a hint of perhaps stale grease in the French fries, but overall, they along with my burger were fine. The menu is large for this type of establishment. It was a weekday evening and the place was about half full, which is probably a good sign, considering the fact it was a weekday and there are several other restaurant choices within a mile. Bowling leagues for the evening were yet to start and I would guess the place gets busier at that time. Service was quite fast and the staff was friendly. The place was clean. I used the restroom, which is part of the locker room area and it was clean too. It has been a long time since I was in the bowling/game area and I could not help how this place seemed quite modern, and yet somehow interestingly retro too. I like the look. I would return to the restaurant again and might just have to try to bowl a game or two.

Open late as long as there are customers in the establishment and great service…read more Great hometown food. Don't bowl much but that will change soon. Also has volleyball courts out back for leagues! But anybody can use them at anytime. Check it out!

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!

Despite the fact that it's located inside the casino, you are not required to actually enter the gaming floor to get to the restaurant. If you go around to the side door, you can pretty much skip the casino altogether if you want. Also, even though the casino is definitely loud and noisy, the restaurant was remarkably quiet and intimate. We had the giant pretzel as an appetizer and it was fantastic. Then I had the Braised Short ribs with mashed potatoes and vegetables which was really pot roast, but really excellent pot roast, and my fiancée had the WFG burger which he said was great. A very nice dining experience, the service was fantastic, and the prices were pretty reasonable. Nothing remarkable, but a very nice place to have dinner.
