We went as a group of 3 for a birthday celebration on a Friday night. We were told the wait would…read morebe around 1.5 hours. At around 1 hour, I got a text telling me to gather my party because we were on-deck. Several other groups were seated, some of them quite large. Almost 10 minutes later, I received another text advising me to gather my party because we were on-deck. I went to the desk to ask if our name had been called. I was told that no, we were on deck. Again, several other groups were seated, and several of them were large groups. About 10 minutes later, they called our name. We were taken to a table next to the main walkway through the restaurant, and as we were seated, the music was cranked up and the wait staff started dancing next to our table. I couldn't hear what was going on over the loud music, but I gathered that someone else was there for a birthday. About 10 minutes later a waitress arrived and took our drink order. She said she would get us "some more" dinner rolls. We didn't have any at our table prior to that. Several minutes later, she came back with our drinks but no rolls. My wife reminded her about the rolls, and she went and got 2 baskets of rolls and then took our food orders. While we waited for our food to arrive, a song that mentions Texas Roadhouse in the lyrics started playing. Whoever controls the volume turned it up so loud that we had to stop our conversation. Then the dancing started again. I don't remember the song they were dancing to except the word "butt-crack" was clearly audible. When the music quieted down, our birthday person mentioned that if they didn't have to stop and dance so often, maybe they could get our food out faster. The wait for our food was about half an hour. I didn't get any photos because we were all pretty hungry at that point. The flavor and quality of the food was quite good, but there were a couple of outliers. For example, our birthday person reported that the buttered corn didn't seem very buttery, and I noticed that the steamed broccoli I ordered wasn't warm enough to melt the butter I put on it. I would rate the food a 4, the service a 4, and the ambiance a 3. Actually, make the ambiance a 2. There were a couple of times we talked about not coming back due to how noisy it was all the time, but especially when they cranked up the music for that one song, and then the dancing. I thought we were going to make it out without more dancing, but that didn't happen. One of the dancers came uncomfortably close to bumping in to me while I was trying to finish eating. My overall score would be a 3.5 if that were an option. A 3 seems too low, but a 4 seems too high. PS: For those of you trying to avoid seed oils, Texas Roadhouse uses soybean oil to cook just about everything. I always ask for my steak to be cooked without oil and only butter. Apparently, the mushrooms and onions they offer with the steaks are already prepared with the oil because since I started ordering that way, I haven't been offered the mushrooms and onions on my steak even though it has been offered to others I'm with who don't specify no oil.

Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting much from Chinese food in the middle of Iowa. Actually, the…read morequality is pretty solid across the board. I tried probably about half the things in the buffet (and there is a ridiculous variety) and there was not a single thing I tried that was actually bad. I would skip the onion rings but I can't even call it bad since it's still better than burger king's. The variety is pretty crazy so it would be impossible to detail everything. There's a solid selection of both Chinese and American food, along with a Mongolian BBQ section where you can build your own Lo Mein plate. The desert section is kinda wild, lots of fruits, jello, cakes, pudding, and ice cream cups. The restaurant goes kinda crazy with the front lobby decoration. There's a Koi pond! It's a buffet so I'm not sure what to comment on the service, but I didn't have any complaints. Nothing on the menu was particularly outstanding to me, but that variety with consistently solid quality and rock-bottom prices (like $15 for an Adult, but my sense of pricing may be a bit off from being from SF Bay Area) is absolutely wild.

On the plus side it has been a long time since I have actually had to pay for a pizza with the delivery insurance, but honestly, I'd rather not have my sandwich be screwed up after a long day of work at the hospital!

I tried their specialty chicken which are like the PaPa Johns Chicken Poppers but covered with a sauce of your choice of a few. It was not bad, but a bit pricey for what you get. I had to get carry out, I do not know how they are for delivery, but they were quick with the carry out speed.

Is it exactly like being back in Texas? No. But it's close enough that we keep coming back. The queso is excellent, the enchiladas are consistently fantastic, and the food actually has flavor. The atmosphere is laid back, the portions are good, and we've never left disappointed. Living in Iowa has taught me that a lot of people think Tasty Taco's and Taco John's are Mexican food. Bless their hearts. If that's your frame of reference, Fuzzy's is going to be a revelation. For Texans, Fuzzy's feels familiar. For Iowans, it might be your first introduction to what Tex-Mex is actually supposed to taste like. Great queso, great enchiladas, cold drinks, and food that reminds our family a little bit of home. We'll definitely keep coming back.
