We were 2 couples. Early Saturday afternoon we made reservations for 6:30pm. We arrived about…read more6:20pm and we were seated right away in one of their booths. The decor is pretty low rate. The whole restaurant desperately needs an update. The restrooms are only for one person at a time. This causes some major lines. But the service and food quality makes up for all of those issues. Our server was on the ball and came around frequently. We all ordered the prime rib. This is the ONLY place I will order prime rib. Everywhere else it's been flavorless, pure fat or tough. It's been none of that here. The salad is nothing special, just iceberg lettuce, a little cheese and a few Fritos. But it was pretty good, anyway. The blue cheese dressing was excellent, with some nice chunks of cheese. The baked potato was very good, nice & fluffy. It was done all the way through. So many time they're hard in the middle, but not these! We've been here several times before and we'll be back again!

Ground beef is cooked with onions and served on a bun with chopped onions, mustard and dill pickles. You can also get cheese. Good variety of chips available as a side. They make old fashioned malts and these are a treat! They pour your initial serving and leave you the rest in the container it was mixed in. Plenty enough for 2!! They have a variety of pies for dessert. Counter seating or carry out. Service has always been friendly. You may have to wait for a seat, especially at lunch time. My husband grew up spending summers in Gladbrook and we come here every year when we visit family. Our trip wouldn't be complete without at least one visit to Taylors Maid Rite.

The restaurant was spotless. Super clean. The menu is very small, but it is perfect! My wife had the maid ride special with Doritos with cheese and a diet Pepsi and I had two Maid-Rites with Cheese and the best chocolate peanut butter I have ever tasted. I grew up near Wichita, where we had NuWay loose meat burgers. They were extraordinary. Taylor's Maid-Rite is the closest thing to those. SO GOOD!! Please stop here if you are in the area and support this gem, open since 1928. Here's the YouTube video about this place.

They are famous for their taco pizza, which I happily ordered. My family also ordered the Bavarian and said that they truly enjoyed it. What's also wonderful is that they have gluten free crust available, which is perfect as one of my family members has a severe gluten allergy. When we arrived, we were greeted warmly and seated quickly. It did take a little bit before our server came to take our order. After that, however, the service was excellent and our server was just lovely. The food came out hot and timely and overall we just had a relaxing meal. It was just what we needed!

Bobo tea was good (horchata) but the ice in the drink froze the tapioca, which was not ideal. Overall, very pleased, especially given the usual fare available on RAGBRAI.
