For Real
Eric Z.

Classic old school type Americano diner environment with photos of the original stores on the walls. I've been eating Maid Rites since I was a kid and the newer diners still continue on with the great quality sandwiches and fries. Stopped by for lunch and was not disappointed, the staff was super friendly, the eating area was very clean, and the tables all spotless. Ordered the Memphis Pulled Pork sandwich and a classic Maid Rite (of course) with ketchup/mustard/pickles. Both came out just right and the spicy BBQ sauce on the pulled pork was magnificent. Great job keeping the Maid Rite tradition alive and well in the Midwest. Will return anytime I see that Maid Rite sign!!! Keep up the great work with this Iowa original franchise.

A little pricey, but a very nice establishment. BBQ is a nice addition to the Maid Rite menu. Well worth a visit. Very cool atmosphere!

So far this is top of our list. So many options and so much food is provided at such a small cost! The food is FANTASTIC! Didn't even need to ask for extra sauce as plenty was given, but ended up using the extra that I ordered for the bread. The perfect way to describe this food is adult sized public school lunch. If you did not like the spaghetti and bread at school you probably won't like it here, but it brought me back to nostalgic school lunch and I am ALL FOR IT!!!!! CHEESE BREAD IS A MUST!!!! Can't wait to make this a weekly place to visit! Thank you so much to the staff for also getting this completed quickly! You rock! -The Ridenstein's

All that for 12.99!! The salad was nothing great, but the lasagna was really good especially when paired with their garlic bread! Their red sauce is rich and flavorful along with plentiful to dunk the bread in (SO GOOD)!! They are super chill and helpful here too so their service is great. No complaints (except the salad) and would def go back.

Visited here for lunch, and got the special of the day- turkey BBQ sandwich and a side. The price…read morewas right, $10, but I felt like the quality of the food was so-so. The turkey was less than tender and lacked flavor, the green beans were stringy and over-cooked. I'm willing to try this place again- maybe their beef, chicken, or pork is of better quality and flavor, and maybe their other sides are better, but their turkey and green beans didn't sit with me too well. Final note- the atmosphere of the place and counter service was fine, so plusses on that. Three stars for mediocre food quality- I expect better from a barbeque joint, especially located in the Midwest.

Full disclosure: I came here because I wanted a pork tenderloin and the place I was going to try…read morewas closed. The service was weird. The kid at the front acted so off. I thought I was giving him grace because they got a new POS system, yet he didn't know some simple menu questions I asked him. And he was just super odd, not rude, not friendly, just odd. Both tables I tried to sit at were dirty. The Mac & cheese is creamy and bland. The creamy coleslaw was better than decent. I'd take a quart of that! Their BBQ sauces are tasty, there's just not a huge difference between the three. It's subtle. The tenderloin IS very good. It could stand for some finishing salt, but excellent without. I bet their other meats are excellent, there were just some things that were really off putting with the service.

I was famished and it was a good amount of food. There's a little seating inside but I think most get it to go, there's also a good outdoor eating space nearby.

When I walked in to pick up my order, the employee assembling my food wiped her gloved hands on her pants before continuing to prepare my meal. She also used those same gloves, which were covered in food and sauce, to bag my order. The outside of the takeout containers and bag was greasy, and after seeing how my food was handled, I couldn't get past it. I only ate a few bites before losing my appetite. I also got the pita chips, but they were extremely dark and tasted like old oil, as if they had been overcooked or fried more than once. We had been driving all day and were passing through, so I was really looking forward to a good meal. Instead, I left feeling disappointed and honestly grossed out. I hope the restaurant takes food handling and quality control more seriously because the reviews led me to expect a much better experience.

Not really sure how to feel about The Other Place. On one hand, there's really nothing wrong with…read moreit, but on the other hand, there were some minor things that made me rethink wanting to come back here regularly. Very sports-bar like atmosphere, but it was relatively quiet when we came here. I don't think I'd want to come during a game. Service was okay. I don't really remember any bad service, but I don't really remember any exceptional service. It was about on-par with what I'd expect; drinks were refilled quickly, the order was taken well, everything was accurate. Etc. Food itself was pretty good. Both myself and my partner enjoyed what we ordered. Both of us were impressed by the portion sizes too. The cost wasn't too high, and neither of us could finish what we had ordered. I really liked my Fettuccine Alfredo, but it also was literally drowned in oil and butter. When I was half-way through my dish, there was a visible "pond" of oil and butter at the bottom of the plate. It was a bit disgusting to look at, but the food did taste really, really good. I can't imagine how unhealthy it was, though - which means we probably won't come back too often. As a slight complaint, they serve their drinks in a plastic, branded cups. For some reason, the "plastic" aspect of it really bothers me. They are very clean, but they feel like "cheap" cups. I wasn't impressed by the glassware. Price ended up being pretty good. About on-par with these casual dine-in restaurants. About $30 for the two of us to go out to eat.

The OP is fine, but I wouldn't go out of my way to have it. CF folks love it and it's a classic but…read morethere's far better pizza out there.
