On our roadtrip across America, we found our way to the Ritz Restaurant. We came in the middle of the week, so the place wasn't packed. I felt like splurging, so I got the Ribeye steak. It was excellent and well worth it. The baked potato was fine. Sour soup was delicious. The cheesecake was fluffy and tasty. This is definitely a place I would go back to next time I'm in the area. read more

The service was excellent, and the food was exceptional. I ordered the pork tenderloin and ate every drop. When they asked me about the cheesecake I knew I had to squeeze it in. The old-school atmosphere really shines through as well. Next time I travel near, I will definitely be stopping in! read more

The Ritz is a solid throwback to a more simple time and vintage Iowa supper club dining. Good eats, good drinks, good service, and just enough atmosphere to transcend time to its 1948 opening. The Ritz is an absolute must for quality dining in Northeast Iowa. It's the Ritz. Not the Glitz. Don't expect ostentatious, fancy, trendy, or hipster presentations, just regionally up-a-notch traditional dining in the shadow of The Basilica St. Francis Xavier. The Ritz offers an impressive fare of meats, fish, seafoods, along with excellent sides and appetizers. They provide an excellent offering of sandwiches as well for a more casual plating. Gotta love the old style full bar. The house specialty is a Southern Comfort Old Fashioned. Martinis and classic call drinks add to the festivities. Each dinner entree comes with homemade soup, salad, and potato choices. A full coursing long lost in most contemporary restaurants. Their homemade soups are awesome. Steaks are perfectly char grilled to your desired temperature, and the fish and seafood equally ideal! All you can eat shrimp on Friday nights and prime rib Saturdays are standing traditions that give real meaning to standing traditions. The Ritz offers the best cheesecake West of a New York deli. On a busy night the Ritz is loud and the wait staff hustle without a break or loss of their awesome hospitality. I have no idea how they get so much properly prepared food out of a small kitchen without skipping a beat. On a quiet night just hanging out at the bar is priceless time. I think that Dan the bartender might be a wanted Renaissance Man chilling undercover at the Ritz. The crowd tends to be on the older side. Thank goodness the young folks haven't figured out what a great experience there is in classic supper club dining and mobbed the place! That inappropriate snarkiness aside, all are welcome and well served by a dining experience at the Ritz. In addition to it being a great and nostalgic culinary experience, keeping this family owned treasure in business for another generation is just one more reason to bring the family, stop in, and make the Ritz one of your regional favorites. read more

Owners Carol and Dan Sawyer make this such a wonderful dining or bar experience, as their 70-year old restaurant combines a solid steak and seafood menu with excellent service. I enjoyed my salmon dish, cooked just right with a tasty assortment of seasonal vegetables. Appreciated the quality service from Alex, who went out of her way to get my order done correctly, with just the right amount of interaction. When people give a damn about their business, it elevates the visit, and that certainly happened on this occasion. read more

We had a great experience here. Staff is friendly. It's clean. The food was very good. A bit spendy, but we felt it was well worth it.

Great drinks and great food. Sit down relax and have a wonderful evening. You may even meet some new friends.

Coming from Wisconsin to spend a few days in beautiful Iowa, found this gem after looking for a spot for dinner with family. Of course, supper clubs and old fashioned cocktails are in our blood and this place did not disappoint! From a friendly greeting and seating in a spacious dining room, knowledgeable wait staff, well-timed food service and excellent food, the Ritz is one cool place to be. Starting with brandy old fashioned sweets all around that were just what one expected (their signature drink, a Southern Comfort Old Fashioned, was also available), with full glasses and appropriate cherry/orange slice garnish, one would think they were in Wisconsin's north woods! A typical "supper club" menu of steaks and seafood (one chicken and one pork offering) along with some combo plates made ordering easy. Saturday night special was prime rib, ordered either 12 or 16 oz (we did 12 and was generously sized) along with big baked potatoes (also offered American fries with onion and cheese or French fries), lettuce salad (7 different dressings to choose from, also choice of cottage cheese or Cole slaw) and soup (homemade-tonight's choices were sausage and sauerkraut or Normandy cheese) and warm rolls. Plates and bellies were full! Ordered rare, the prime rib was delicious and not fatty, steak and scallop combo was very tasty (steak had a great crust) and fried shrimp was crispy and fresh. The restaurant also has takeout, if that is your thing. No reason not to spend time with friendly staff, delicious food and great company. Bring your family and friends and "put on" the Ritz! read more

We had a great meal and time at the Ritz during our stay in Dyersville in June. The owners are wonderful hosts and cooks. Our waitress, Barb, was magnificent. She is a one-woman entertainer, historian and Chamber of Commerce in one delightful package! read more

Went to The Ritz for Dinner tonight & it was very enjoyable. The service was great, attentive & very friendly. We had the Grilled Teriyaki Salmon Salad, & a Ribeye Steak with a side of "American Fries". The salad & the steak were delicious! Steak was cooked to perfection & the salad was the right touch of flavors. As for the American Fries, if you are from the East Coast they are just what we call Home fries (yes, the kind we have for breakfast back East) with some onions & melted cheese. The place is very nice & clean, although I think updated tables & chairs would definitely give it a nicer look! Overall a good place to have a nice meal around town! read more

The all you can eat shrimp was great! It had a light homemade breading. Try the cod bisque is a must have! I was a bit skeptical walking in the door, but we will definitely be back. read more

Cozy, historic restaurant in classic small-midwest-downtown setting. Owners operate the restaurant and are hands-on in the kitchen. Very friendly. Prime rib (served Fri and Sat only) is excellent and perfectly seasoned; tomato soup was delicately seasoned, yet nicely complex. Really enjoyed our dinner and drinks. read more
