This place was previously known as the Rainbow Supper Club in Anamosa. I believe the family who owns this establishment is related to Whitey's in Lisbon. Whitey's wasn't open, so we made the drive north on Highway 1 to try this place. Overall, we had an okay experience. Our server was quick, but not super friendly. Food was good. All five of us ordered something different. We would probably come back if we are in the area again, but we won't go out of our way to visit. read more

Honestly it all depends on when you go but generally, the food is okay to sub par and the service is usually decent, but as I said it all depends. So if you're looking for a nice sit down restaurant you might wanna skip this one. read more

OH MM GEE! This place is amazing! We went here with our family who lives close by. They told us the food was good but it was delicious! I ordered the salmon, baked potato, Brussels sprouts, and side salad for $16. Their side salad was huge and came with croutons, cheese, onion, and crumbled bacon. Ranch dressing was really homemade. The salmon was done to perfection and slightly pink inside how I like it. The baked potato was small but really good. The Brussels sprouts were browned nicely and very tasty. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful. My husband had to pork ribeye and he said it was very good. His was $16 too...very reasonable! The only thing missing was a nice dinner roll but we were very full and didn't really need that. If you're in the area, give this place a try! read more

First time at Jones County Local and we will be back. Food was delicious and menu had so many great choices. Our waitress was very pleasant and our food was timely. Only negative was not having our drinks refilled. Nice establishment! read more

I was a little hesitant after reading several reviews downplaying the service. Took the Mrs. on her birthday roadtrip and could NOT disagree more, the staff from first step until our departure could not have been accommodating! Cold beverages and excellent food rounded out a great adventure! Thanks to everyone working last Saturday, you made her birthday memorable! read more

Eaten here several times since we l8ve in the area now . First time we went it was very good everyone in our party was satisfied but with each time we've gone since the quality of the food and service has declined. Clean dining room, friendly staff, prices are average. We will probably try again but, just won't be our first choice. read more

Cold greasy fries today ruined my lunch. This is the 3 time I've had a bad meal. Don't understand why you serve it if you know it isn't right? Come on! read more

Great little gem located right outside of Anamosa. The booths still have a supper club feel. But the place has turned into a nice casual bar. The steaks were great served with broccolini. They were out of potatoes for the sides so we ate French fries instead. We will definitely be back sometime. Prices are great read more

This is a nice place for a bike ride stop. I had the ribeye the wife had the reuben, both were excellent. Staff was pleasent, and parking up front for the bikes was a pleasent surprise. Highly recommended read more

While the food is usually pretty good, and it is a nice restaurant as far as aesthetics go. The low rating is due to the trash service. We come here often because there are not many options in our area and 90% of the time we leave frustrated due to the shitty service we receive. We have gone busy and dead - the service is horrible each time so you can't really blame it on the amount of patrons. read more

Food was good and came out pretty quick. The fries were especially good along with the street tacos (I highly recommend trying these). Also Has a super cool atmosphere and a nice bar. read more

Stopped for a quick supper on way to Jones County Fair. Quick and friendly service. Ordered shrimp tacos (really enjoyed Mexican corn, shrimp needed spice) and grilled ham and cheese with fries (tasty, might want to serve on top of fries so sandwich doesn't get soggy.). Was happy hour - bonus! read more

Very good food, and excellent service! The atmosphere was welcoming and entertaining.

FIRST RED FLAG. Our drinks were not made at the bar in front of us, which is HIGHLY unusual but we rolled with it. SECOND RED FLAG. All the servers and some guy from the kitchen came out of the back when we first tasted them; they were staring at only us and giggling.THIRD RED FLAG: We get our drinks and taste them then immediately have our taste buds destroyed by fire from how spicy they were served. We asked for spicy, but not to the point that I got a serious headache and heart burn. FOURTH RED FLAG. We asked what was used to make our drinks, and was told by the server she wasn't sure. She came back later and we were told that the restaurant was out of Tabasco, and they used wing sauce, yet there was plenty of Tabasco at the tables and at the bar.FITH RED FLAG. All 3 drinks were flat out undrinkable. THREE. THREE DRINKS. We all took about 2 sips and were blown away at the level of heat. Meanwhile the guy from the kitchen area was still watching us try them, along with the 4 waitresses.(According to people I know locally his nickname is White or Whitey). They all had smirks watching us trying to choke down this liquid fire. My wife made eye contact with him a few times. Our server was helpful but knew what was happening and never did anything except offer us more tomato juice to cut down on the heat. Never did we get asked if they could make us alternative drinks. Never did we get asked how to fix it at all. Nor did we get told that some Habanero wing sauce would be used in the drinks. Who uses wing sauce and mixes a drink behind closed doors?? Someone being deceptive and trying to play a joke is who. I ask to speak with the guy that made the drinks. The nice server says she'll get him, despite looking nervous. Ten minutes later and still silence after she goes back in the kitchen. (Why would anyone back there make a drink? If someone has no clue to make a drink there is always a recipe menu). She comes out and asks if I had a question for him that she could relay, and I tell her no that he can come out and talk to me. She looks more concerned now. At the same time she serves my wife and friend beers since we can't even drink our bloody marys, so she is clearly old enough to serve and make drinks yet didn't make our bloody marys. Kind of odd. He finally comes out and I ask several pointed questions which he does not answer directly, but tries to avoid answering them by saying that other people drink them just fine. I ask if he made our drinks. Yes. Does it look like we're enjoying them. He says it's 50/50. Why are he and the servers staring and smirking at us while we are obliterated by the heat? He argues they weren't, and I ask if we are smiling like the drinks taste good? He beats around the bush with no answer. White/Whitey offers to bring us a drop of the wing mix he used to show us it's not that hot. (Makes no sense since he had said he only put a drop in our drinks, his words, which the mix and vodka would have diluted the heat), but no offer of remaking the drinks but instead says have a good night and runs off the the back. This was beyond ridiculous. The guy making insanely undrinkable bloody marys will come out and watch us burn our mouths, but when asked to explain it tries to hide then runs off to the back? No. Completely unacceptable. Yet I can go to Mcotto's and not get tortured. This hurt your business. We had planned on a few bloody marys EACH that day and walked out with a discounted bill of $13. We had figured about $150 total before tip. But because some jerk in the back of the house decided to screw with me, a US MARINE of all people, and my family and best friend that I havent seen in 20 years I am now ticked. REALLY TICKED. This will be posted on any and all social media I can find. White/Whitey (or whatever his name is needs) to find a job far removed from the service industry. And I hope he knows that should he get fired, I helped it along. Because I guarantee I'm not the first to experience his character and he deserves his due. read more

Food is absolutely perfect! We came for lunch with some friends that come here often. Decided to come back for dinner with another friend who hadn't been here and wow. Food still amazing but service was embarrassing!!! We were handed are tab before even eating. I asked if they were closing soon and she said the kitchen closes in 45 min. I paid the bill and went to the bar to get a beer where the owner was to busy trying to flirt with girls to even address me. Myself and friends had spent over 200 dollars at his establishment today. I definitely recommend the food and the place is gorgeous but I will never step foot in this pace again. read more

This was the second time eating at Jones County Local. Both times the food and service was fantastic! I got a table right away and the service was fast and friendly! The bartender was easy on the eyes. The bartender also had a great knowledge of shots and served local brews! I highly recommend here for food, drink and atmosphere. read more

The atmosphere is great and prices are good for bar food. The service was awful. One person in our party was almost finished before the rest of us got our food. We waited through the entire meal for drink refills. After asking for sauce multiples times, we were told they didn't have any. It was a full house, but this was beyond that. The breaded tenderloin was overcooked and the grilled was cold. I'm willing to give it one more try. read more
