Some of my family's favorite dishes include their Mongolian Beef, Combination Lo Mein, Orange Chicken, and their (not-so-secret) menu item: Honey Walnut Shrimp! The owners of this local restaurant are the SWEETEST family and I highly recommend supporting them if you find yourself in the Perry area. No one makes Chinese food better than they do! Definitely worth the drive from Des Moines.

We would go here to eat and sit and visit, and shop amongst the beautiful things to buy hanging up all around you as decor. You see it, you like it, it's yours! Very fun displays, linens, atmosphere, and it is in the upper eshelon for Tea Shop Restaurants by my opinion! Debbie is a star, and shows her caring ways to everyone! Never have I been disappointed with the food, or time spent there. You are welcome to sit and enjoy. You are never kicked out for having a long lunch, it is what they expect! So, if you have limited time, let them know ahead of time, and they will take care of everything! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this family, and their love for the public, and Fort Dodge, Iowa! GO HAVE YOURSELF A MARVELOUS TIME!! 5 STARS!

I wish there were more vegetarian options. Our server was excellent (sorry did not catch her name). But where this place shines is the historic atmosphere of the hotel. I did not stay there but after lunch, Wyatt gave our group a tour of about half dozen unoccupied rooms along with some history of the hotel. There are 40 rooms, each with a different theme reflecting an aspect of Iowa's history. There were originally 77 rooms with only 23 of them with indoor plumbing! The rooms are well-appointed and reasonably priced at an average of $200. I had no idea this gem existed so close to home!

Getting stuck in line behind a guy placing an order for the office is going to put a dent in your day. That said, my roasted turkey sandwich on rye was delish! Sweet and juicy turkey breast, sliced and piled high with my choice of cheese and fixings. Paired with a bag of chips and a "pop" from the soda fountain, it was a perfect lunch.
