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!

I really wanted to love this place but it was a big let down…read more First, we were there on a Friday, just before what is likely a very busy time. We sat at the bar. The servers were there, obviously waiting for customers to start arriving, and they were all congregating at the end of the bar, chatting it up. It was super unprofessional and pretty annoying. We were glad when the food came out quickly so we could just eat and leave. To be honest, I don't recall what my husband ordered. I got the pork tenderloin. The tenderloin was very tough and had zero flavor. Like, I don't think they even put salt in the coating, let alone any other seasonings. This is Iowa, if you can't make anything else at all, you should at least have a decent pork tenderloin. This was our second time trying the place. Both instances were equally underwhelming. I wanted this to be our "go to" place but sadly we won't return.

Perfect portion sizes Value (B+) The prices seem to be a bit expensive for Austin but not too bad. Not a great value but nothing too crazy expensive either Service (A-) Friendly, polite and attentive. They do a great job providing suggestions and with checking up on the table. If you are in Austin this is a safe bet place to go to for some traditional American fare. There is a dog barking sound or a dog that was barking - I think it was just the sound- not sure - didn't ask about it.

I came here after touring the Spam Museum in Austin, MN. There were a few restaurants nearby that…read morehad Spam things on their menu, but this Spam burger really drew me in. I had to try it. So we walked down the street a little bit and settled in. Ambiance was nice. It had kind of a whiskey bar vibe, and also a classic downtown restaurant that was built as a modern restaurant into the old brick facade of a downtown. I liked it. Service was great! The server we had was very nice and prompt. I did accidently receive a cocktail, though, instead of the mocktail I ordered, so just be careful with that, but everything else was great. As for the food, I got the SPAM® Burger (4 oz House Ground Beef Patty, Grilled SPAM®, Pineapple Relish, Provolone, Teriyaki Aoli, Toasted Bun). This was fun. The patty was cooked well, the SPAM had nice grill marks on it. The relish was welcome, but there needed to be more of it. The burger was super salty, and the relish needed to help cut that. I also got to try the Kimchi Rueben (12 Hour House Roasted Corned Beef, Swiss Cheese, Kimchi Slaw, Thousand Island Dressing, Toasted Rye Bread). This was really fun. Very delicious corned beef that paired perfectly with the tangy, funky kimchi. Never had this before. Never even thought of it. I loved it. Overall, this was a very nice meal. I love finding great little restaurants in little towns.

A fully stocked bar and ice cold beers are ready for your sipping pleasure. We stopped in on 3 different occasions during the weekend. What we ordered: *** homemade hand battered fresh cheese curds- these were the best curds I have ever eaten!! For breakfast the following day: ** 3 egg omelet with fresh ham, tomatoes and cheese with a side of bacon. ** Biscuits and gravy with an over easy egg. Our food was hot fresh, and delicious. This restaurant/bar is exactly how you picture a locals place to be. Everyone was friendly, welcoming and made us feel at home. We were sad to leave as we felt like we were leaving family.

I wish they came in different sizes and were homemade crust. Otherwise, basic toppings, expensive add-ons, and not many specialty pizzas. Meh. The jukebox in the bar area is soooo loud. It does not "fit" the crowd of old people out trying to visit. They kept coming out to the dining area complaining it was too loud in the other room. Despite the staff's back and forth, we were not greeted or waited on for 20 minutes. We could hear them BSing in the back, but I think they forgot they were at work. We kept closing the door between the bar and dining room and the staff walking in between constantly left it open. The owners need to "read the room" and adjust the jukebox accordingly. We shouldn't have to YELL over dinner. I wear hearing aids and couldn't hear a thing! Food is inconsistent and owner-after being complimented that the food had improved since they opened only argued that it's the same food they had when they opened, which it is not. Shut up and take the compliment!

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.

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.
