The restaurant/bar is setup within the hotel...that is rumored to be haunted....muhahaha. I usually go with the jalapeno burger or some variation and onion rings, but I am sold on the Friday Fish Fry. Very good-crisp and always good and hot. These guys also hustle out the orders quickly. The only real downside is there is no dessert menu. I recommend Sweets highly!

It's very similar to the flavor of a jalapeño popper (without the bacon, cream cheese, or the heat). They have a modest sized parking lot that is a one-way. We sat at the bar and both had sandwiches. I ordered a burger but subbed out the beef patty for a chicken breast. The chicken breast was seasoned and juicy, but it actually made the American cheese on my sandwich a little too slippery. Better than the alternative, though! I would eat here again, but I might try something different next time. The menu wasn't super large, but they had enough apps, sandwiches, and burgers to choose from.

We absolutely adore Tanks! Our family farm is just east of Bassett, a town so tiny it makes Rudd…read morelook like the Big Bad City. We make a pilgrimage to Tanks once or twice a summer when the family rolls in from far flung places like Hotlanta, San Fran, and Boston. Some of us get the ribs: perfectly sauced and tender as can be. Others grab a Reuben: lotsa meat, gorgeously greasy (no - I mean that in a GOOD WAY!) and piled high on marble rye. There are other choices. All are good in a home/bar-cooked way that means they are splendidly toothsome and provide great value for money. Decor is laid-back "dive" - but it's not really not a dive, because it is a friendly business where all are welcome and it is not at all sketchy or sleazy or cheap. Prices are solidly affordable. Drinks are well mixed and the pours are generous (but legal). Love this place!

We don't go there often but when we go we always get the ribs. Delicious. Nice employees.read more

This is typically where me and my boyfriend will go out to eat for virtually every occasion, which is more than okay cause this place is awesome. The waitresses are nice and get to you as soon as possible. The Food is always thoroughly cooked an tasting amazing. Somewhat costly, but honestly worth it. Everything is portioned sizably. I almost always end up with too much on my plate to finish. I would personally recommend their sirloin steak as they serve what can easily be called one of the best steaks I've had. Their corn nuggets from the appetizer section of the menu are AMAZING along with the breaded pickle spears. My boyfriend also enjoys their all you can eat walleye dinner on Fridays and the pea salad. You will not regret stopping here.

I got a steal on a big ass house, it was old, and a ton of work to modernize. I was determined to make the house ready for my future family.

A full buffet lunch with multiple meats, multiple salads and three different soups for $7.99 - which includes the drink. Wow. That feels like something from the 1990s. But it's 2018 and Dave's is a throwback to the time when gravies were made from pan drippings - not out of a can or a bag. The gravy was so good that I asked about it and that's when I found out it was still being done the old fashioned way. Double WOW. The salads were also top notch as were the soups. So great to find a restaurant gem like this when you least expect it. If you've not been to Dave's - you're really missing out. And their hot beef plate with that homemade beef gravy is WELL worth the effort to visit Charles City. Highly recommended. We're BIG fans. I will say it for the third time - WOW.

Every single time we've been there, we wait a minimum of 10 minutes before we are offered drinks. Today we had to actually get up to find someone to give our drink order to! We are left waiting Every. Single. Time. Food is mediocre. The breakfast buffet is equal to the free continental breakfast at a hotel... You know the stuff that is microwaved & processed, not homemade. We are very forgiving on service as nobody is perfect & everyone has a bad day. The restaurant is clean. Today was the breaking point for us. We will go to Floyd or New Hampton for breakfast from now on. Dave's is definitely not worth my time or money.
