Not to be disappointed rocket Joe's served delicious pizza and delicious bread sticks as well. The service was great it was probably the best pizza crust I think I've ever had. The crust had its own flavors and spices inside and was cooked perfectly. Definitely worth a visit whether you're going to call for takeout or drive down and eat in.

A group of my friends and I went to The Back Forty last weekend when we were on a party bus and it…read morewas fun bar. We stopped the bus and all walked in and good vibes were definitely felt. We didn't order food but we all ordered drinks. My drink was well made and the bartender seemed to be enjoying her work. They also had live music, which was nice. If I'm in the area again, I would definitely go back and try their food.

This was a great spot for lunch! The dinner menu looks just as great. We were wandering around on a…read moresmall town adventure today and checked Yelp for a lunch suggestion. I'm so glad we did! The place has a small town vibe but could easily compete with anything in the Omaha metro. Talked for a bit with the gal that owns it. She was great! So glad to support a women owned business. I had a basic BLT and we shared corn nuggets. Pretty good. Husband had the lunch special, Tater tot casserole. My first thought was "I have the stuff for that in the fridge/freezer at home." Then I remembered that I have indeed not made it. They made it first so we went with that. He loved it! Not your grandma's casserole. The Thursday prime rib sandwich ($15) and Friday and Saturday steak specials ($25-30) will definitely draw us back. Thanks for a great afternoon.

The burger was super flavorful. Definitely in the top 20 burgers I've had. The "flat" fries were amazing. Super crispy and just the right amount of salt. Made in an air fryer? The salad was a generous portion and a great combination of ingredients. I would have them hold on the BBQ sauce or request on the side but otherwise was delicious. The decor was set for the holidays but it was super cute inside and ultra clean. Could have taken my meal in the bathroom it was that spotless. This place is kitsch enough that it's worth a roadtrip!

The gf wanted to check out I-80 MetalArt and we found the Chuckwagon Restaurant right across the…read morestreet. We arrived pretty much at straight up noon on a Saturday. I fully expected the place to be packed as it appears to be pretty much the only show in town as far as a sit down restaurant. There was a please wait to be seated sign there as we walked in. We were greeted right away and seated in minutes. It's old school wood tables and chairs and I think there was a counter available. Ordering is done at the tables as well as settline your bill up with your server. Surprisingly the speed of service continued throughout the visit. After drinks we ordered the rodeo burger and fries, a tenderloin with chili cheese fries, and the garlic cheeseballs. The cheeseballs came with marinara and ranch. Fresh, hot, and fantastic! I've eaten a lot of tenderloins. Many that have been highlighted as Iowa Tenderloin Trail winners or participants... This is one of the better tenderloins I've had in the state! Obviously hand made, breaded, and fried. Not too thick and not too thin. Drained properly. Served with the essential condiments including the holy trinity (onions, dill pickles, and mustard). The gf liked her burger. It could have used more of the featured ranch and bbq sauce. The fries... Neither of us cared for them. Obviously hand made, but almost too thin and too greasy. We'd both opt for a different side next time. To each our own though. Almost every small town along this stretch of I-80 has a pub & grill. The menus vary a little, but are very similar in a lot of aspects. The quality of service and the cooks make the biggest differences. The Chuckwagon hit five stars in some aspects of both. Work on those fries and the flavor of the chili (horribly bland) and this review would have been five stars. I'm going to emphasize this again. Truly one of the best tenderloins I've had in the state! Keep doing what you are doing!
