They came with fries which were tasty. The girls got fish tacos & they were plain. We asked for salsa & tartar & they said they were out of the usual wasabi that comes with them.

I had the flavor of the month Chicken wing sauce which was spicy peach. It was delicious!! I just wish the wings were a little warmer. They sat up on window a bit too long while the locals were getting fed. My husband had the mushroom Swiss burger. It was clearly a processed/frozen burger but it was large and the crinkle cut fries were plentiful albeit sadly lacking salt. All this being said, I am still giving them 5 stars because the prices were right and the customers were fun to talk with. I just caution you to treat visitors as well and as promptly as you treat your regulars.

We were not aware of the outdoor patio filled with people and it took close to an hour to receive our order. That said, this little place, located in the tiny town of Owasa, had a variety of folks there including families, groups of women and it looked like farmers and had a friendly open atmosphere. The place was decorated with cool things like skis, a toboggan and snowshoes on the wall. Found it by using my map app. Only reason for one less star is the long wait time. But we could see thru kitchen window and the chefs were busy back there!

It was not great and when I received the bill I was charged separately for the toast and hashbrowns so my total breakfast order came to $15!!

Earlier in the week we had breakfast a Hy-Vee which included coffee for both of us and it was not only better but $5 cheaper with the coffee. I would never go back. Also, there is zero ambiance here.

The cheese curds were just okay, nothing that really stood out. I also ordered fries with cheese and gravy, basically going for the Chicago-style disco fries I'm used to back home. The gravy ended up being mushroom-based, which unfortunately wasn't for me since I'm not a mushroom person. That one was more of a personal preference issue than anything else. Overall, it wasn't a bad meal, but nothing really blew me away. The chicken wrap was solid, while the cheese curds and fries were just okay for me. Still worth trying if you're in the area, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way for it. 3/5.

First timer at Tata Yaya! I ordered online…read more Customer service was so friendly and they wait until you get to the restaurant to make your drink! I got the La vie en rose crepe with added banana and strawberries. The cappuccino wad perfectly made I added a caramel syrup to it. Parking was not hard to find but you'll have to walk to get here. I will be coming back again!

My Simply Savory crepe (with turkey bacon on top) stripped away many of the toppings they offer which let me concentrate on just how good the core crepe was. With that said, the garlic sauce drizzled on top was a winner. If I ever find myself back in the area, I would probably get both versions of crepe from them to see if the sweeter versions can match the savory ones.

Stopped in for our first visit ever here and we were both really blown away by the great service,…read morethe great food and the low prices. A full buffet lunch with multiple meats, multiple salads and three different soups for $7.99 - which includes the drink. Wow. That feels like something from the 1990s. But it's 2018 and Dave's is a throwback to the time when gravies were made from pan drippings - not out of a can or a bag. The gravy was so good that I asked about it and that's when I found out it was still being done the old fashioned way. Double WOW. The salads were also top notch as were the soups. So great to find a restaurant gem like this when you least expect it. If you've not been to Dave's - you're really missing out. And their hot beef plate with that homemade beef gravy is WELL worth the effort to visit Charles City. Highly recommended. We're BIG fans. I will say it for the third time - WOW.

Every single time we've been there, we wait a minimum of 10 minutes before we are offered drinks. Today we had to actually get up to find someone to give our drink order to! We are left waiting Every. Single. Time. Food is mediocre. The breakfast buffet is equal to the free continental breakfast at a hotel... You know the stuff that is microwaved & processed, not homemade. We are very forgiving on service as nobody is perfect & everyone has a bad day. The restaurant is clean. Today was the breaking point for us. We will go to Floyd or New Hampton for breakfast from now on. Dave's is definitely not worth my time or money.

Can't believe I'm the first to review this place. It's fantastic. Small place run by just one lady…read moreI believe. Sat down and quickly had our order taken. I got the cevapi and my wife had the roasted chicken with potatoes and vegetables. Complementary beef and noodle soup came out which was delicious in the chilly morning. Not long after our orders came out with fresh baked bread and a Bosnian coleslaw type dish, both fantastic. Bread was soft and flavorful, coleslaw was crisp, refreshing and acidic which paired perfectly with our mains. The Cevapi were plentiful and cooked perfectly, still juicy, the bread soaked up all the juice. And the sauce was a house made sour cream and it goes really well with it. The roasted chicken was perfectly cooked, not overdone but still tender and juicy, and the vegetables went nicely with it. Nothing fancy, just very well done Bosnian home cooking. Can't wait to go back.
