Service was great (we sat at the bar) and the ambiance is bar-like (nothin' fancy). Good prices too. Took half mine home for another meal later. OH, almost forgot....

MY coworker was hungry and didnt have the patience to look for other options…read more Pointed to this place and said: Lets go!. Service: Nothing good, the bare minimum to get an order placed and food dropped off. Food: AWFUL. The "Dont Risk It" Platter: The brisket was dry and not edible, so that stayed on the plate after one bite. The pulled pork was good, until later in the day when I didnt feel that well. Fries were the best part of the meal. The Cole slaw was definitely from a food service container and had that distinct mayo flavor. The picture you see posted is what was left on the plate. So it's cheap for what you pay, but not worth at any price. Overall: Not sure what they do well, but we're not coming back to try.

A group of friends stopped here for dinner on a Saturday night and it was packed so we had to wait…read moreabout a 1/2 hour for a table which is ok because there is a bar 2 doors down to kill some. The place is small and loud with bright colors and art work all over the walls. The menu isn't huge with starters, bbq, burgers, sandwiches, entrees etc with specials that change. When you walk in you are hit with the amazing bbq smell so real smoking is going on in the back and after carefully looking over the menu with all the good items I opted for the Deacon which is smoked brisket, bacon, cheddar cheese which comes with frys. I personally didn't like any of the bbq sauces on the table which is ok because I like naked smoked meats. The brisket sandwich was very good on a fresh roll with melty cheddar cheese and if a couple onion rings were topped this would be next level for the sandwich. The brisket was tender but not melt in your with a nice pink smoke ring but way too lean, see my pictures because I would have like to have a little more fat for flavor. The frys looked house cut and and pretty good. The rib platter at the other looked pretty F'n good by the way. Overall this was a nice place to get some bbq in downtown Monroe but be prepared to wait for a table at peak times because it's very popular.

It may be kind of dumpy inside but the place is also full of crazy personality. A lot of the basics along with a few fancier items. The prices are pretty okay for the portions and quality. Basically if you're a group it will probably be waiting for a table so go early. It's one of the popular places to go around here. The last time coming here we got seats at the bar and there wasn't any waiting. Has a lot of cool memorabilia to look at. There's a bunch of funny signs on the walls. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. The Fuzzy Navel is one of the classics you can get. It's about $13 for a burger and fries. They have a veggie burger that can substitute. We each got one of these. I got it with the toppings of the Basic Burger. These come with the usual toppings like lettuce, mayonnaise which I left off, onions, pickles, and tomatoes. She got it with the toppings of the Olive Burger. These come with cheddar, lettuce, mayonnaise, olives, onions, Swiss, and tomatoes. For sure it gets busy. It's located on Main at Franklin.

I travel to Clinton a lot for work and am always less than impressed with the food options, this place was randomly recommended and wow, it's going to be a normal spot for me. We came in around dinner without a reservation and were immediately seated, by the window at that! The view was GORGEOUS. The dining space was bright and airy, very welcoming. It feels like a family establishment. Now the service. We were joking we literally had 5 seconds between each thing, they were BOOM BOOM BOOM. Drinks, apps, meal, dessert, I swear everything was out within 5 minutes from each other. Maybe some of the best service timing I've ever seen, we were amazed. The food, wow. For the middle of Iowa? This is it. The onion rings, the fried goat cheese. I was here for it. People at the table got the crawfish? boil and they all loved it, apparently the lobster Mac is some of the best the table has ever had, and I just got a couple sides - the asparagus and regular Gouda Mac - because there was so much food. Literally everything I had was so tasty. The cheesecakes were bomb too. I will absolutely be back every time I'm in town.
