Flavor was top notch, I love a great ribeye. Salmon and shrimp was perfect as well and burger was perfect too. Nothing was under cooked or over cooked, perfect. We had several sides, mashed potatoes, Mac n cheese, Broccoli and Brussels sprouts. All were great, the only comment on sides is maybe some bourbon brown sugar type glaze on the Brussels sprouts. The wine selection is great, and we had some Moscow Mules that were absolutely perfect. And our server Ms. Avery was very knowledgeable on all the food and did a great job! Thank you Cattlemen's for a great dinner, truly a gem of a restaurant in Sac city and the surrounding area.

We ordered off the a la carte menu and the waitress acted like this was a huge inconvenience to her. We then waited for 25 minutes for our food, which was cold when we got it. I flagged her down and informed her of this and she muttered something about telling the manager. No manager or anyone else approached us until we got up. Then she suddenly reappeared with the bill. There was no adjustment or compensation for serving us cold steaks. I went to the manager but when he saw me approach he walked away. We won't be returning.

The wait staff seemed stressed and overworked, and their service definitely was lacking. It took almost two hours to get our raw steak and a couple sides. The place itself could use an update, all the tables seemed to rock and the toilet seat in the ladies room fell off the toilet. I am all for small town places and supporting the beef industry with great cuts of steak. I just wish this place was cleaner and had better service to reflect the prices they charge for an entree.

Always bustling on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday Fun Day, Pickles has a great staff of friendly, small-town folks. They hustle! Food comes out timely, and is good quality. We had a combo plate with fried mushrooms, pickles, and corn nuggets. It's all frozen stuff, but good quality. My wife had the French Dip sandwich and loved it (although she never dips her sandwich... wtf). I had the Patty Melt. It was cooked well on marble rye and was delicious. This is the ultimate roadside joint for a beer and bite. Nothing but positive energy for Pickles Pub!

There's plenty of parking, and from the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely welcome. My waitress, who I suspect may have been the owner, greeted me with a smile, took my coffee order right away, and made sure I never needed to ask for a refill. Bonus points for serving it in a pretty cool coffee mug that added a little personality to the experience. The service was fast without feeling rushed, and the food was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for. More than anything, though, it was the hospitality that stood out. It's the kind of place where you're treated like a regular, even if it's your first visit. If you're looking for a welcoming local café with great food, friendly people, and a memorable small-town dining experience, the Whistle Stop Café is well worth making a stop.

As someone who can have trouble deciding what to order, I really appreciate how helpful the staff is with recommendations. This time, I went with the Caesar salad topped with salmon-one of the waitress's personal favorites. She even included two slices of lemons, which she said she likes to squeeze over the top. I understood why-it added the perfect touch. The portion size was just right, and it came with a warm breadstick. I left feeling satisfied but not stuffed. The restaurant, including the bathrooms, was spotless, and the parking lot was clean with plenty of available spaces. I really liked the frosted partition that provided privacy. Overall, another great experience at Mineral City Mill and Grill!

We needed to make it quick so our server was great in taking our drink and food orders right away. I split a hot Italian sandwich with fries. It was very good and splitting was a perfect amount of food for lunch. The sandwich had a nice Italian dressing to keep it from getting dry. The fries were the bomb. Skinny, crispy fries are a fav of mine. Our other party had a burger and added an extra patty. It was huge, juicy, cooked perfectly and well liked. Nothing was left on our plates when we were done. The vibe is family friendly with lots of booths and tables for small or large parties. Great stop.

Overall a good experience…read more My wife and I recently visited restaurant on a Wednesday evening. We live only a couple miles away. This restaurant recently changed location a few miles from where it had been for several years. New location is much nicer. Good atmosphere. Service was a bit slow but not bad and people were courteous. Food (pork chop dinner and hamburger) was good and seemed to be good quality. Price was $40 with tip. So it was reasonably priced. Only 1 recommendation I would share for the restaurant's benefit is our food was lukewarm. I suggest they start heating plates to prevent food from getting lukewarm or cold so quickly.

We really liked it!…read more We ate here a year ago when we were in Fort Dodge and we're back in town for a visit and decided to go back to Casablanca Steakhouse. It was a Tuesday night about 6 pm when the 4 of us arrived. A few tables had been seated and then the place nearly filled up while we were there. Our server was Chelsea and she was super attentive and helpful. We ordered appetizers to start: - Breaded Cauliflower (really good) - Breaded Mushrooms (also really good) We ordered the following for dinner: - 7 oz Pork Chop with side salad and baked potato - Chargrilled Shrimp with deviled eggs and baked potato - Ribeye Steak with side salad and baked potato - Steak Burger with Bacon and Fries Honestly, the food was really good, as was the service. It's pricier than other meals around town and I might not call this fine dining but it was close. We'll come back again next year.

The service struck that perfect balance of attentive without being overbearing. Now for the best part: the food. We ordered the Ribeye and the infamous Steak de Burgo, and both were cooked perfectly. The Ribeye was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The Steak de Burgo absolutely lived up to its reputation--rich, buttery, and downright delicious. Every bite was spot on. Between the warm atmosphere, excellent service, and perfectly prepared steaks, Babe's is a place we'll definitely be back to. Highly recommend! P.S. From the California folks that showed up in the orange corvette. Thank you for a great dining experience!
