It took a half an hour to get drinks, over an hour to get appetizers and finally our dinner choices. The place was not overly busy, maybe 50% capacity.

Oh no! What happened?! We love your basement pub called the PO Box, but the restaurant upstairs…read morereally blew it! I'm changing to a three star review because these two restaurants are really on both ends of the spectrum. PO Box - 5 stars American Table - 1 star This updated review will be about the "American Table" The Good- Beautiful ambiance. Nice young man doing his best as our server. The food was tasty once we got it. The Bad- It took forever and a day to get our food. Some of our food was piping hot and some was cool at best. They forgot all kinds of extras we had ordered like soup. The staff was just strange and clueless most of the time. The Ugly- two tables around us up and left and never even received their food. The staff was bickering around the customers trying to make order out of the chaos. We had multiple meals brought to our table that we never ordered. It's almost as if they don't have a numbering system for the tables or the expo person gave no instructions. We will come back to the PO Box, but never again to the American Table.

Ambiance: This place is beautiful. Food: My husband had the…read morelamb shank and it was good. My son had the cajun pasta it was not amazing but it was fine. I had the bone-in pork loin and it was extremely dry, like make you want to dunk it in your water glass dry. The side of veggies was clearly frozen vegetables warmed up in the microwave. I had the soup, which the waitress described as "some sort of pork soup". I asked for clarification she said there was some other name for that she couldn't recall, but the chef said basically, its pork soup. The broth in the soup was quite good, but other than a couple chunks of celery, it was a lot of pork, seemed like maybe left over pulled pork. But it was my favorite part of my meal. They are clearly going for fine dining with the prices and the look, and they're almost there, but missing the customer experience touches, details, and execution to pull it off. I'm pulling for them to be successful, so I'm hoping they learn and make the necessary changes to make it work. P.S. I was there for a business catered function, they served 3 kinds of traditional pasta, salad, and dessert and that was fantastic. P.P.S. The downstairs casual restaurant is fantastic

The only reason I had to take a star is that we cannot recommend dining in and want to give that heads up to fellow travelers. We were stopping through town on our way to see family and thought it would be easier to dine in with our toddler than taking it back to our air b n b. It was small but there were a handful of tables set up for dining in so we thought it would work ok. But when we came in and asked about dining in we were given a bugged-eyed look and they echoed, "dine in?!" But they said sure and pick a seat. It takes a bit to make me uncomfortable and doubt a person but this was not welcoming. We sat down and when our 2 year old wanted our menu, we asked for a second one and got an attitude from the same person again. At that point I threw in the towel. I can't enjoy my meal with someone questioning every single thing we did or said, especially with an unpredictable toddler. So we put in our order and left. My husband had to go back to get it. So just a fair warning to other families to be prepared for a possibly awkward dine-in experience. They also do not have high chairs - they do have booster seats but they do not buckle down. We for sure would order here again but would plan to carry-out only.

The gal serving me at the register did her job including asking for an upsell which is classic at taco John's... (I used to manage the one in Altoona.) The restaurant was pretty clean but the building is starting to look pretty beat up. I was the only one in the lobby for about 30 minutes and the employees wiped tables and checked one (that I noticed) bathroom. We used to have that as a priority when I was in management.... A good sign.

It was hot tasted good and was loaded with cheese and onions. It was exactly what we ordered. They included a ton of crackers and all the sauces napkins we could use. Perfection. The service was quick and complete. We had our food in moments and they were more than nice to us at the window!! The ambiance was my house, which was perfect. I am stoked to not have a complaint and to be able to write a good review. This was a great experience and I will be going back!!

I wasn't asking for much -- I ordered a Baconator combo, paid about $12, and expected to get what I…read moreordered. Instead, I got a Dave's Single. Not even close. It's frustrating because it's not about craving or being picky -- it's just about getting what you paid for. The fries were fine, the drink was fine, but the main item was completely wrong. It's honestly ridiculous how badly they messed it up. When you're spending that kind of money on fast food, the least they can do is hand you the right burger. Wendy's usually gets it right, but this time was a total fail. I shouldn't have to double-check every bag just to make sure I'm not walking out with someone else's meal. Do better.

McDonalds is always great. I usually go in on Sunday, before church and have the big breakfast with…read morehotcakes. That way I am getting 3 pancakes. I love pancakes. Then with the eggs and sausage I make a sandwich. Then I have the hashbrown on the side. McDonalds coffee is usually good. I've only been there once that the coffee had a bad flavor. Their Frappe's are also very good. I was kind of dissapointed that they didn't have the egg nog shakes this past year and don't know what was up with that maybe they can do better this coming holiday season. I am hoping they will have their Shamrock shakes for St. Patrick's day this year. Overall though we have a very good McDonalds in Oskaloosa.

I went in, and the moment the lady working at the counter greeted me, I knew it was going to be a good day. I walk over to the pizza warmer machine. All the pieces of pizza spinning around. I looked for a while, deciding what piece of breakfast pizza would start this wonderful day. There wasn't many good options, then the piece of pizza came all the way around. It was so full of toppings, the crust so thick but still fluffy. It was a sight. I called all of my boys over, we gazed at this Beauty for a minute or two before I had to get my hands on this pizza. I take it out. My life was changed for the better right there. The moment that smell hit my nose, I became at peace. I knew this was going to be a good day. Next I walk over to the drinks, I stare at all of the options, they had anything that I could ever want, I look at my options and decide a naked smoothie was the play. (Athlete things) After I chose my drink, I walked over to this fine lady working the counter. Me and all my buddies start talking to this woman, nicest lady ever, even told us to have a great day! We took that and had a terrific day, that Casey made my day, it was life changing. Words can't describe it. Try it for yourself.
