The place is practically on the Mississippi River on the Il side across from Clinton Ia were I was hanging out. The place really sticks out from the neighborhood because it's red and black against a pale back drop. The place was smaller than it looked but it was packed with goodies from fresh meats, cheeses, sausages etc with a frozen side filled with homemade and not homemade items to cook at home. One thing that I always look for is the homemade meat sticks and anything jalapeño or hot will be my first choice, they had jalapeño and cheddar. I'm always bitching that if I want a real chicken fried steak I have to make it my self because virtually no one does because there the frozen crap, they have a homemade take home package of 4 that I snapped up but have yet to cook. The jalapeño and cheddar sticks were so on point with nice chunks of cheddar and jalapeños, dam I only bought one package. The take and cook country fried steak package finally got its turn and I must say that it was the best prepared take home frozen country fried steak I have had. They cook super fast and have a tasty crunchy batter with a tender moist center to my surprise. I'm really starting to hate my take a cooler while traveling to bring home items that I can't get where I live because there is great stuff out there and I'm probably never going to get them again because every trip is different. I would really like to come this way again and stop here so I could grab some more items. All in all this was another great county meat market that does what it does well and the whole reason that I now search them out when I'm away from home. I would definitely be a regular if I lived in the area and recommend stopping by if your in the area.

Every good weekend getaway needs a cute coffee shop, and 392Caffe was the perfect morning stop…read moreduring our time in Clinton! This locally founded coffee shop has been around since 2011 and offers everything from specialty coffee and seasonal lattes to fresh smoothies, breakfast sandwiches, and pastries. We ordered a seasonal latte, breakfast goodies, and a customizable smoothie where you can choose your own fruits, greens, and juice base. I love having options beyond coffee! But my FAVORITE thing we tried? The chocolate chip protein ball. Seriously, I'll be thinking about that little thing for a while! The atmosphere is just as inviting as the menu. It's the kind of cozy coffee shop where you could bring your laptop and get some work done, meet up with friends, or simply enjoy a slow morning. Definitely a great stop to add to your Clinton itinerary!

This place needs a huge lesson in customer service. I'm…read morevisiting from out of town and had heard decent things about this place, so I decided to give it a try. We walked in around 11:30 a.m. There was only one other customer (a dad and his son) and the person who walked in just before us, who appeared to either be a friend or a regular, based on how all three employees greeted her. While they were extremely friendly to her, we weren't acknowledged at all--not even a simple "We'll be right with you." Instead, the employees stood there for more than five minutes talking about how business was, how they slept, what they did over the weekend, melatonin, and other personal topics. During that time, no one took our order or made any effort to help us. After waiting, I finally said, "If you guys are going to keep having a conversation, can we at least order our coffee and get that started?" They looked at me like I had said something unreasonable. One employee, who was sitting at a table near the counter coloring, muttered something under her breath, and they still didn't take our order. Instead, they continued their conversation. At that point, we left. This experience was completely unacceptable. Great customer service starts with acknowledging people when they walk through the door, especially when your shop is nearly empty. Unfortunately, this first impression ensured we won't be back, and I can't recommend this business to others.

Signs to the tasting room lead to happiness. The little guard dogs vocalize from the house as we walk into the tasting area. Inside the building is a nice set up. The tasting bar and multiple tables. We got to sit and chat with the owner. He said they started in Preston but since have moved to this great location. The first two tastes are free. We slowly worked our way through our tastes while talking with the owner. We ended up with a few bottles. The Blue diamond was my favorite and my husband had the Just Friends. So good. Those are not the only ones we walked out with. Some of his top sellers were sold out but we got to sample the rhubarb...oh baby. Yum. Love it

The server was fantastic our server Nikki could not have been better. The Salad bar was included with all the lunches and it was outstanding. The lettuce was fresh and crisp and everything else on the salad bar was really good. The meal came with complimentary bread service served warm with olive oil and butter. The pizza was really good, the pasta was fresh and very cheesy, the sandwich and fries were not as good they just seemed ordinary. The pecan pie was a let down the crust was hard and the pecans tasted burnt so I would say avoid it. The restaurant was nicely appointed but in the restroom was a not very well taken care of, the toilet paper holder was broken and just hanging there and it was out of soap which being there as they opened i would think it would be full.

I know it's a winery and they want to sell alcohol but all we wanted was something to eat. The only seating was in the bar hallway/lobby (or outside, but it was windy). Inside they have 6 wingback type chairs with a " coffee table" in front of you (can you imagine trying to chew on a hard crusted Pizza, sitting at the coffee table), 2 tall tables, each with 4 tall, hard, sling stools, no backs (which aren't easy to move on the low pile carpet), or a regular height table with six hard, wood chairs with backs, or a couple chairs at the bar. Not knowing if a larger group of people would come in we didn't want to take the areas for six people. So we sat at one of the tall tables with hard sling chairs and no backs. They are extremely uncomfortable, too tall to be comfortable, no matter your height. We were each given a fork wrapped in one small napkin. When the pizzas came out they were very thin, not many toppings (we've had better frozen pizzas than these were and I don't care for frozen pizza). They were impossible to cut with the fork. When you picked them up your hands got black from the underside, from the Wood Fired Pizza. The crust was too hard to chew off. We asked for more napkins and knives and they only had little plastic knives. When questioned about something different we were told that's the only kind they can give us. Which of course there's no way you can cut, with those little plastic knives, the tough crust of the pizza. I would like to see management sitting in those uncomfortable hard tall stools trying to chew a pizza (or cut one with a little plastic knife), with dirty, blackened fingers and try to enjoy one's dinner.

Because of the time of year, rooms in the area were pretty scarce, so we just happened to call and found a vacancy ... In the Grand Suite, which was honestly not outrageously priced. With few other options we took a gamble and wow, did that gamble pay off! For starters. The hotel is really more of a B&B style establishment so don't expect a corporate style hotel. The owners also appear to be the staff which is fantastic! The love and care they show in their work really comes out in the detail and beauty of the building and the rooms. When you walk in, you're greeted by a lobby that immediately transports you back in time. We spent our first 10 minutes just walking around and marveling at the attention to detail that the owners have paid to preservation. There aren't words, so I'll post photos instead. Upstairs, we found a Grand Suite that defies my ability to put it into words. So, again, I'll post photos. The basement of the hotel features a little lounge with phenomenal food and locally brewed beers from a brewery, right here in town. In the morning, the family opens up a little breakfast restaurant for guests. Again, it's not a corporate hotel, so the restaurant is only open for a limited time, but it's fantastic! Again, I can't say enough positive things about this place, but what I can say is that we found it be accident, and we will absolutely come back for a weekend getaway in the future. You owe it to yourself to check it out.

The building was once home to St. John's Episcopal Church and later Bethel AME Church before being transformed into Great Revivalist Brewery in 2023. In 2025, 7 Hills Brewing Company took over, giving the space another chapter in its history! What makes this place so special is how much of the original character has been preserved. From the gorgeous stained-glass windows and historic mosaic to the repurposed church pews, there's something interesting to look at everywhere you turn. Of course, we came hungry! We started with their Corn Hub dip, which was absolutely delicious, and ordered a beer flight so we could sample a little bit of everything. For our meals, we tried the bacon smashburger and the Hot Honey Bee-Avola pizza, which was AMAZINGGG! Seriously, if you're visiting, get the pizza! I absolutely love when historic buildings are given a second life instead of being torn down, and 7 Hills South is a perfect example. Between the history, unique atmosphere, craft beer, and delicious food, this is definitely a spot worth visiting during your Clinton getaway!

You'll wonder if you have the right place when looking for this restaurant. It's in an old church with incredible ambiance that is just awe inspiring! The service is slow though as they don't have enough people working the front of house. This place has a lot of seating at wood slab tables and limited seating at the bar, placed in what once was the sacristy area. I ordered the A-Porkalypse burger, which was very large. I immediately cut it in half. Delicious...... We ordered a pizza as well to sample that. I had the tots instead of fries, and we all had their home brewed root beer. The root beer was not quite as good at the 1919 Root Beer found locally at Hy-Vee and Walmart, but was acceptable. Their home brewed craft draft beer menu is extensive and while I did not try any this trip, I'll certainly stop in again to sample that side of the menu. They also have craft soda and very limited canned beer. Who needs canned beer when their draft menu is so huge!!?? We ate like we were taking most of it home in order to sample their deserts. We ordered the Caramel Apple Bread Pudding that was indeed two portions and very hot! It was a chore for three of us to finish. Bottom line is this.........if you are in Clinton, Iowa and looking for an extremely unique place to park your carcass for a bite, beverage and awesome ambiance, look no further. Enjoy!!
