    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

I got their lasagna dinner which includes a salad and 1/2 loaf of garlic bread. 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.

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.

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.

Back in the day, Greenhouse definitely did something different with their chicken. If my memory serves me correctly, they used to have seasoned, cubed chicken pieces, but it seems they have moved to a watery, shredded chicken instead. The other ingredients seemed to be the same, fresh items, but the new chicken was a big disappointment for me. The food here used to consistently hit 9+ out of 10 for me, but during my last visit it was more in the 6-7 range. Giving this spot a 4/5 rating since I'm hoping my last stop in was a fluke. Service and ambiance here is always on point!

The steak was a little dry, but other than that, it was a great meal. I got the Buffalo salad but added steak instead of chicken. The dressing wasn't fresh or homemade-tasting, so that was a bummer. It was a $15 salad, so for the price and convenience, I would come back again. The girl at the counter was welcoming, and since it was my first time, she explained how the menu worked.
