The chili cheese dog was made with a huge fat hotdog smothered in some perfectly seasoned chile and topped with plenty of shredded cheese. My husband got their award worthy pork tenderloin sandwich. The picture I have attached will show you how big it is but you will have to trust me when I say my husband said it was the best pork tenderloin he has ever had. Being an Iowa boy raised on those sandwiches, he definitely knows what he is talking about. We ate for under $20 and left behind half of the fries and 1/4 of the pork tenderloin. Wish I had room for some of the ice cream treats they offered.

Pretty good sandwiches with a variety of options. They also have salads and wraps. They come with…read morechips, potato salad, or macaroni salad.Additionally, they come with a sugar or chocolate chip cookie. We placed an online order for 3 of us. The sandwiches were fresh and tasty, The tomatoes were fresh, the lettuce (iceberg) was crisp, and the white bread was very soft. I got the Southwest Chicken with chipotle on the side. I expected a bit more zing, but it was good overall. The bag of chips was about twice the size of a 'normal' side, and the potato salad and macoroni salad were both solid. We all had the chocolate chip cookie for our 'finisher' and they were super sugary and delicious. Solid option for a Denison lunch!

Sparky's is a gas station/convenience store outside of Lake View, Iowa. It sits on a main highway…read more(forgive me, can't remember which one) that runs through Iowa. There's gas and a mainstay area that has candies, chips, sodas, etc. There is also an area in the back for seating where my father in law goes early in the mornings to drink coffee. - Good for snack junk food, fried cheese balls, Godfather's personal pizzas, warm sandwiches, and burritos. - They also have a fried chicken area where you can pick out a few pieces to make a dinner (it's in the same place as the rest of the warmed-up/fried food) - Coffee is horrendous, even for gas station coffee. Plus there is no liquid creamer option - only the powdered stuff. I have to say, I was appalled at this even knowing I was in small-town, middle-of-nowhere Iowa. I mean... these people drink a lot of coffee out here and there's no liquid creamer? Odd. Overall Sparky's is a mainstay to the people of Lake View. Obviously a lot of people rely on this place for gas and even for eating every so often.

Stopped in for lunch on our way home while passing through town. You step up to the counter and…read moreplace your order, and then you pick a table and await your food. Self-serve soda, with a variety of options, and a VERY reasonably priced menu with lots of selections. The motif is what you'd expect -- small town diner, with improvements to the historic building and a few modernizations. Very friendly, fun, and pleasant service, and solid food. My wife got the Egg Salad Sandwich on homemade bread, and I got the Philly Chicken. We shared the Sweet Potato Fries. Good sandwiches, and fries, and the food came out in a reasonable time. The day we were there they were doing a very good carryout business, and I suspect that is the case most of the time. Definitely worth a try!

First time here so we took the first entrance, parked and made our way in from the back parking lot. We were immediately greeted by the lady behind the counter who remarked that we had parked in the employee lot. Oh well, nothing can be done about it now. How about some signage? We then paid with little to no conversation except to be told for the second time we were 15 minutes late. To say the welcome was cold and matter of fact (we were late) would be kind. The experience was saved by the tour guide who welcomed us like we were her lost children and made us feel right at home. After the tour I asked to speak with a manager and was told he was off. When I asked for the name it was not fourth coming, instead I got lectured on the company policy. Too bad, this visit was on my bucket list. Oh well, I guess I'm back to chasing Buffalo Trace.
