I had to travel for work on a Sunday, which I typically try to avoid. I searched local restaurants…read moreand saw this one, and decided to give it a try. Small town asian restaurants tend to be either really good or really bad, with very little in between. When I go to an Asian buffet type restaurant, I am not expecting the greatest quality, just comfort foods like general Tso's chicken, crab Rangoons, and some white rice at a reasonable price. This place exceeded my expectations. Each of the items in the buffet that I tried tasted fresh, not like it had been sitting under a warming lamp for two hours. The chicken meat (both white and dark) was high quality, no bits of gristle or other unchewable stuff that I often find at lower quality restaurants. The crab Rangoons were really good. Even the rice was very good, not having that dried out texture that it can sometimes get when it sits in a steamer pot for too long. The sushi was also surprisingly good. I never set my expectations high for buffet sushi, but I keep the bar even lower at small town restaurants that serve sushi. I mean, who expects decent sushi at a small town Iowa buffet? It was surprisingly tasty, even if the selection was limited to only one roll type item. My only gripe is that it was kind of dark inside, in spite of the windows being unobstructed and the sun being out. It's kind of a pet peeve of mine, but buffets really should portray a clean and bright environment to emphasize that they are high caliber restaurants. Buffets tend to be viewed as dark, dirty places, and I always encourage proprietors to upgrade their lighting to make their restaurants appear cleaner and more inviting. Aside from the lighting, this place solidly impressed me. For a small town Iowa buffet, it was very good.

They walk food up the street from their home to the restaurant. I'm not assuming that they have a dirty house, but it's not inspected at all. Service is lacking because when I went they didn't have fresh food on the buffet. It was old from lunch. I mentioned it and they said they don't fill it when it's been slow. I was there and they were open. Huge fail.

First of all, I was charged for two extra sides of coleslaw and got home and only one. Lesson learned, always check the entire order before leaving. It's expensive enough as it is (Along with everything else, I get it.) But even more so to take care of the people who are spending the money at your restaurant. The chicken was mid. Sort of dry & looked like it had been sitting there for a while, I looked and actually hoped they didn't take from there but they did. My daughter thought the mashed potatoes tasted "off". I told her and she agreed definitely not enough gravy. Would've been nice to have that separate. Do better, plz. Money is tight for everyone, maybe try to go the extra mile for the ones who are willing to spend. Won't happen again here.

The front desk employee was rude. She immediately said, "really? how long have you been checked in for?" Unsure why that mattered we said, "a few hours" in confusion. She then, clearly annoyed, told us she was trying to finish her shift and get her end of shift stuff done...okay, but you're still working...so????

I wanted to check it out since I hadn't been there since the new management company took over. The hotel was good, friendly staff, clean room, no pool yet but we knew that going in that renovations had not been finished. Harbor 72.. I was saddened to see that they moved the comfortable outdoor couches and patio furniture off of the patio and replaced it with restaurant seating tables. I always enjoyed sitting on the couches and having a beer with my dog on the patio watching the busyness off the lake. That was the other thing we were told our dog could not be on the patio with us. I understand he would not be allowed in the restaurant as he is not a service dog just a family pet but I thought he would be fine outside on the patio with us as we ate our supper. If you are going to have a dog friendly hotel and would like those people to patron your restaurant I would think it would be a wise choice to allow a place for people with dogs to eat. The food was sub par, we got breadsticks and pizza. Pretty sure the breadsticks were frozen with a little butter and garlic salt sprinkled on and put in the oven for a bit. The pizza was edible but nothing to write home about. The Busch light draft was fantastic, nice and cold. The last thing I will say is the docks. We came in late from fishing and had a few fish to clean. There were no lights on. It wasn't a huge deal we just had to use our cell phones and find the light switch for the docks. The pump for the fish cleaning station kept tripping the GFI plug so we had to use a bucket of water to clean up our fish gut mess. I won't hold too much against them yet. They have been reopened for a short period and maybe still figuring a few things out. I will be back in May, I hope to see some improvement, because I love Rathbun lake and I do think Honey Creek could be an amazing place.

Unfortunately, our experience at Harbor 72 was a completely different story, and the food was the biggest disappointment of our stay. The food was extremely overpriced for the quality. The sweet corn appetizer was especially disappointing--it tasted like frozen corn with very little seasoning or flavor. The macaroni and cheese was incredibly bland and surprisingly had almost no flavor at all. The steak was the opposite--it was extremely over-seasoned with what tasted like a heavy steak dry rub. The seasoning was so overpowering that I had to scrape most of it off just to eat the steak. The garlic mashed potatoes were also extremely heavy on the garlic salt. There was so much that the flavor was completely overpowering, and I couldn't eat them. I really wanted to love Harbor 72, especially given the resort setting, but the food simply did not justify the prices. The resort itself was fine, and the staff was nice, but based on our experience, I would skip the restaurant or seriously reconsider ordering a full meal there.
