Updated 08/12/2016…read more I've eaten here a handful of times and sure enjoy it! Their cod/ fish / shrimp special is a great value. Make sure and get one of Donna's baked potatoes - they are awesome! Tonight I had a chicken Chef Salad and it was fantastic - one of the best salads I've had in years. Donna and Jim are wonderful folks and make the visit fun. Donna will come out to your table and chat. Make sure and try their homemade cherry pies. You'll be hooked! Another fun aspect is the Treasure Vault, a cool place to pick up second-owner merchandise from their adjoining store. They have some pretty cool items that are reasonably priced. The whole experience was fun and relaxing. I really enjoyed the visit and plan to stop in whenever passing through Oxford Junction. Their steaks sound delicious and the locals recommend them.

Everything the three of us had was DELISH! The place has a cool retro vibe, but if I had to criticize one thing, it would be the lack of background music. There were 4 or 5 tables of people dining as we were seated, and I swear you could hear a pin drop because none of these older diners were talking. Not to mention they looked at us like the outsiders we were, LOL! As a result, our lively table became the focal point which left us somewhat self-conscious. Some Sinatra-era music would help this wonderful restaurant's atmosphere enormously! Overall though, a wonderful little gem of a cafe in Elizabeth!

Checked out this cafe in Elizabeth. It happens to be one of the few places to get a meal around…read morehere. Lola's Deli is best known for sandwiches. Also has a gaming area. They're only open for breakfast and lunch. Basic looking place but has more room than expected to be honest. It's got a back area with a bar and slots. The bad thing is this place isn't open later because there would be fun times. Has breakfast and lunch menus. It's about $12 to get a sandwich and a side. A lot of the menu is meaty. We each got the Veggie Sub. Comes with avocados, black olives, carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, Muenster which I left off, onions, tomatoes, and a vinaigrette, along with choice of a side, which I got with chips. This was pretty good even though the lettuce seemed old. Other menu items include chicken salad and typical deli classics. There's also breakfast with eggs and other stuff. For sure could get something from here again. It's best to go at lunch. They're closed Wednesdays.

We came to Maquoketa, IA, to visit the Maquoketa Caves and asked several local residents for…read morerecommendations on the best place to eat in town. We were repeatedly directed here, and we were certainly glad we took their advice. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive, and our server provided exceptional service throughout our visit. We were especially impressed that he was able to take the orders of our entire group of 12 entirely from memory while remaining attentive and efficient. I ordered the homemade tenderloin sandwich and was genuinely surprised by its impressive size and quality. During our meal, the owner/chef personally stopped by our table to ask how everything was and took the time to speak with us about what brought us to Maquoketa. It was a thoughtful and personal gesture that you do not often experience, even at family-owned establishments. Overall, we had an excellent experience. Between the quality of the food, attentive service, welcoming atmosphere, and genuine hospitality, it was easy to understand why so many locals recommended this restaurant. We would gladly return the next time we are in Maquoketa.

Give it a try, eat some sandwiches and maybe try their pizza, but some for the service and friendly environment.

But a few like my BF had the grilled chicken sandwich which he said was good and the rest had the prime rib sandwich and said it was good as well. I however ordered the grilled pork tenderloin sandwich. It was dry and a bit bland even with mustard and ketchup added. I would be back but I would prefer not to order that again. My friend did order the breaded tenderloin and said that her sandwich was good so it must have been the grilled one I had. (maybe could have been over grilled, from one restaurant owner to another). Next time, I will order the breaded one to see the difference. They do have a great menu selection. Overall everything was good and waitress and everyone there is so friendly. It's a really nice bar and grill, has plenty of seating, and game room. Highly recommended.
