    This is a decent restaurant in a small town. My husband really liked his reuben sandwich and sweet potato fries. My ribeye steak was enormous with good flavor, but it did have some gristle and a fair amount of fat (which OTOH does gives it flavor). The side salad was crisp and fresh, and the baked potato was large and well prepared. We did takeout, and they didn't include utensils or napkins or ask if we needed them (guess it was on me to ask), so we had to scramble back at our hotel room to be able to eat. Note to management. The restaurant itself is old and shabby and, as others have said, can be a little difficult to find unless you happen to enter the right door. I wandered through the pool room, bar, an intermediate section, an entry, and finally into the restaurant. But the staff was friendly and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to suggest it if you're in town and looking for a decent place to eat. Just don't expect big city standards.

    Paid $13.95 for a $10.95 menu item. Didn't realize it until we left.

    Good food, decent service. On our way to Yellowstone for a family trip we stopped in for lunch. My family all enjoyed their meals. However, I did not enjoy my grilled chickens salad. It was listed as an entree for $10.95. So with that, I was surprised to get what looked exactly like a side salad with grilled chicken added to it. It tasted fine, honestly. But not only was it portioned as a smaller side salad (not an entree dinner salad) but I was also charged $13.95! Smaller portion than expected and then charged $3 more than the menu price. I was very disappointed. The manager needs to update their menu prices or charge per the menu. Kind of embarrassing for the restaurant on more than one level.

    Little confusing find this place. It is bumped up next to Peppermill and the signs were not actually on to say open. Staff were great! Super friendly. Asked if we wanted breakfast, lunch or both. Coffee was prefect. I love a good cup of black coffee. Hash browns are not seasoned but still crispy. I eat mine with eggs anyway. I tried the green salsa- has potatoes and pork in it- rather tasty and hubs loved it on the hash browns. Bacon thick and crispy. Hubs had two grilled porkchop and they were seasoned great. A great meal for a long road trip. Thanks!

    This is what it looks like on the outside of the restaurant. It's hard to see Cactus Jacks, but this is the right location.

    We had a great meal there while traveling across country. As other reviews have said, the sign out front is faded. Cactus Jacks is located inside The Peppermill. (I'm adding a picture of the sign.) Once we got in, we were seated quickly and enjoyed the food. The ambience was casual. The service was good. The restroom was clean. It checked all the boxes nicely for a quick easy lunch before getting back on I-80.

    Cute place!

    Great service! Super friendly! Food was amazing! Clean dining area! Nice stop between a long drive! Everyone was very sweet and everything tasted good!

    The fam enjoying the meal.

    See all

    Fries were mushy, ribs were dry and over-seasoned, floor and bathroom was dirty, and the music was too loud. Would not recommend.

    We stopped into the location because it was close to where we were staying, and we were really…read morehungry. The building is divided into two areas, restaurant and bar. We opted to sit in the restaurant, since there was no one else in there. While we were there, several people came in and went back to the bar. We wondered if we should have sat in there instead since it was favored by the locals. We ordered appetizer to share between the two of us, and I ordered a cup of their chicken rice soup of the day. The soup was the star of my meal. I wish I'd gotten a bowl instead, since it had good flavor, and hit the spot. The appetizer, on the other hand, was underwhelming. I tried the deep fried mushrooms, cheese sticks, and buffalo chicken strips. The mushrooms were the best of this grouping. The cheese sticks had a funky, freezer-burnt flavor that I didn't care for. The buffalo sauce was way too spicy for my palate and the chicken strips were doused in it, so I couldn't even scrape it off to eat the chicken. My husband said the jalapeno poppers were pretty flavorless. I'm not sure how much longer this restaurant will be able to survive with little to no patrons, and lack luster food. I'm not planning to return.

    So we did not see many options to eat in Rawling. When we got there there were a lot of cars in the…read moreparking lot. True some were junk cars but it looked ok. The reviews were a little harsh but we decided to give it a try. I had to laugh at the comments that the place should be called Crappies. I ordered the hamburger steak with salad and mashed potatoes. It was actually pretty good. It wasn't just a small hamburger patty but a good sized piece of meat. It was well seasoned but the mashed potatoes were from a box. If you are driving through and are desperate give this a chance.
