This is an adorable little shop located on the main strip of Keokuk. This little pastry shop has…read morebeen in business in Keokuk since 1967 and for it to still be in business today you know they have to be doing something right! Stan Waldron started this business back in 1948 in Anamosa and then moved with his family to Keokuk in 1967 and opened this location. He has since passed away but his family has taken over and it's business as usual. They make anything from pies to cakes, cookies and the ever famous creme horns. There is a collage on the wall of their creme horns being eaten all over the world! Pictures from Berlin, Madrid, the White House and the Grand Canyon to name a few. It's been said that creme horns from this bakery shop have been eaten on every continent except Antarctica! So it's quite obvious what I came here for, the creme horns! I was not disappointed at all. I ended up getting a half dozen so I would have some to take home also. The outer layer was so crispy flakey and just a hint of sweetness and the creme filling was amazing! Not too sweet, just enough. If this place were any closer to my house I'd be there every week to get treats! As far as payment, they accept cash and check only so prepare yourself for that. They also have limited hours. They are only open Thursday Friday and Saturday. Definitely check them out if you are ever in this area!

They have the best apple fritters I've ever had. Go early because they are really popular.read more

We had reservations so got seated and placed our drink orders fairly quickly…read more Service was prompt and friendly. Food was excellent. Building feels kind of cramped when its busy but that's to be expected and shouldn't count against them. The young man taking care of the carving area was the highlight of the evening for myself. He was VERY polite amd attentive. The fact he didnt just shave off tiny little pieces of meat give him bonus points. Hopefully someone from the restaurant will read this and pass along the appreciation for a job done well. Food was all warm, well prepared and fresh. If you like buffets and are anywhere close to the area visit this place you wont be disappointed.

Gate City is definitely one of the better restaurants, not only in Keokuk but surrounding towns! We…read moredon't have a lot of options out here so when Gate City opened up, we were excited. They have a full buffet for $24.99, soup & salad bar for $12.99, and anything on the menu if you don't want the buffet. We love the fries catfish, mashed potatoes, green beans, fried shrimp, and all you can eat prime rib on Sundays! Can't beat the price. They also have a variety of soups and a full salad bar which is very fresh, as well as a variety of breakfast items -- love their French toast. But the customer service is what sets them apart -- shoutout to Nikita and Cindy for being the best servers! They are so attentive and friendly. Nikita also makes all of their cheesecakes which are so delicious!! Especially their Strawberry, Apple, Key Lime, and Turtle cheesecakes. Yum! We hear that people will travel to dine at this buffet so check them out if you're in the area.

I've never been to this part of the area before and the views and reviews seemed up to par. So we drove up during the weekend and the drive itself was just wonderful especially during the fall season. We arrived right when it opened and the location is breath taking. There is so many spots to sit outside and walk around. Different views and decks. It was just wow. Very cute. On the inside they have big windows and high ceilings. The owner is just wonderful. They have been open for selling wine since 2002. And he really knows his stuff! We did a wine tasting which was free for the first 3 but after that it is $1 per taste. We did about 4 more after that. We grabbed our favorites for a walk around the area. They have such a good taste all of them! Also they have these slushees for the summer season. My boyfriends mom tried both and said pina colada was her favorite. We had a wonderful time, bought some bottles. And we will be back again!
