I left Iowa in 1998, but when I did live here, when ever I had the hunger for pizza, it was ALWALYS the Chicken Alfrado pizza at the Other Place. There was just nothing better. Now, I haven'y been in Iowa for some time, but recent events brought me back, and I found myself in Clear Lake. A lot has changed. I drive down Main St and see all the changes. Does anyone remember Jerry Krause, who used to own the old truck stop that was called "Milepost 194" who eventually sold it, and then bought the Town Pump bar on Main? Anyway, back to the Other Place. It's been 28 years since I had their Chicken Alfrado pizza, and I knew that being back in town that I just had to have one again. I have to say. The one I got served Friday, was NOT like I remembered. It was dry. I couldn't even tell there was alfredo sauce on the pizza? it seemed like crust, chicken and cheese. Granted, there was plenty of cheese and chicken, but the lack of sauce was dissapointing. I don't know if the alfredo sauce is made in house, or if it's brought in. maybe their destributor changed over the years, and they can't get the same sauce that they used 28 years ago. Maybe the business changed ownership and changes were made. I don't know. What I can tell you is that back in 1998, the Alfredo Chicken pizza was AMAZING. It was my go to. It was best thing on the menu. It was what I recommended to everyone I knew. The pizza I had during my recent visit was just.... Meh...

The pizza & chicken are awesome! They have real mashed potatoes, crispy deep fried fish on fridays & a taco bar with real taco meat & not that nasty meat paste you find at most buffets that offer tacos. They also have chicken nuggets & french fries on the buffet which to my suprise both look & taste alot like Mcdonalds. They have a cherry & blue raspberry slushie machine, an ice cream machine & TVs at every table. The staff is SUPER friendly & the resturant is always very clean. Like I said, I... LOVE... THIS... PLACE!!!

I have been here a couple of times for work dinners - the restaurant has a fairly large space spread out across multiple dining/banquet areas. Service had always been very friendly, and the filet and bacon wrapped scallops that I've had over a couple of visits have been just fine. The starters I have tried have generally been good (e.g., steak bites, bacon wrapped shrimp, meatballs), though the calamari can be skipped. Overall, it's not a bad spot if you're looking for a decent steak in the area.

I was immediately greeted by a young hostess who was happy to find me a table, but I said I'd find a spot at the bar. I was immediately greeted by Sophia who handed me a beer list and was happy to pour a sample. That's nice service to start out with. She checked in but was never overbearing. A+. Their unique 60/40 beef/bacon burgers caught my eye...mine had cheese sauce, tons of bacon, and bacon jam. You can only have these cooked medium well or well done; for a burger I feel that's acceptable. Sandwich components were all delightful...the beer battered fries have a nice smooth coating and the house made ranch was the thinner variety was a great complement too. I'll kip the pretzel bun next time; I didn't find it to be a great complement to the components on the burger. I felt too many taps had crappy mass-produced domestics for the squares out there. I highly recommend the Mason City Cream Ale. Wish they sold their glasses! Credit cards have a 2.99% service fee. Thankfully, debit cards have no fee...which is the law.

In the middle of her ranting (and I am quiet), she decided to refuse service to my husband and me. I did not deserve that level of disrespect.

I think the waitress may have been overworked that day, but still, she needs to apologize to me.
