We met friends there for lunch and to watch a couple of football games. It's not much to look at…read morefrom the outside but when you go inside, it's a great dive bar. It's clean and the staff is very friendly. The bathrooms were very clean. The food was terrific! The prices are very, very reasonable. We had some french fries and a couple of drinks while we waited for our friends. The fries were fresh and crispy, and the drinks very reasonably priced. Friends came and two of us had the best chicken wings! They're big, they're fresh, crispy on the outside... And a nice choices of sauces . The mango habanero was a pleasant surprise. I had a fry bread chicken sandwich and it was delicious! I had to bring half of it home. It came with fries. Other friend had a Philly cheesesteak. It had a really nice dipping au jus. The waitress was so nice and so much fun--attentive but not intrusive. The owner:manager was very nice and worked hard to get the TVs changed to match games people wanted to watch. So if you're in Marshalltown and want to go to a nice little spot with good drinks and great bar food, this is the place.

If I were giving a review of the food and waitresses, I would give this place a 5, BUT…read more.. Visiting family from out of state, my husband I came in with family who are locals. When Karaoke guy arrived, my niece said she didn't like him because he always skips over her and her friend so that he, his girlfriend, and other friends can sing. My cousin put his name down sixth on the night's list to sing Sweet Caroline. After obviously being passed over by numerous singers, he went up to look at the list to see his name was scribbled out. AVOID this place on Friday nights unless you're into hearing the same 5 or 6 people sing all night.

We stopped in for drinks and dinner while staying nearby, mostly because it was within walking…read moredistance of the hotel. The drink specials were good, and honestly the drinks made the Walmart run before dinner a little more tolerable. We came back later for dinner, and the food was fine. I had the Kickin' Raspberry Chicken for $14.99, which was a grilled chicken sandwich with Jamaican jerk seasoning, grilled pineapple, ghost pepper cheese, and raspberry sauce on ciabatta. It was good, messy, and that ghost pepper cheese definitely had some fire to it. I liked it. I honestly do not remember what Kim had, but not because it was bad -- just because the meal overall was not especially memorable. The bigger issue was the service. Our server seemed like she was ready to be somewhere else, and that threw off the vibe for us. Nothing was bad enough to complain about, but it was just barely good enough not to. We probably should have stayed at the bar like we usually do, because the bar side seemed more fun and the bartender looked like UFC legend Chuck Liddell, which at least added some entertainment value. I would come back for the drinks, especially if I was staying nearby again. The food was okay, my sandwich was actually pretty good, but the service left us wanting to finish up and walk somewhere else.

As a white man, that was the whitest and blandest food I have ever eaten. The service at the bar…read morewas great and friendly but that steak came out too fast and had no form of seasoning on it. Other than that, the atmosphere was kind and relaxing.
