    This Bar and Grill is a nice low key restaurant that has awesome food and great atmosphere for a nice small town bar and grill.

    I don't know how I never heard of this place! Wife gave options for dinner for her mom's…read morebirthday/Mother's Day dinner. Atomic pizza or Dan's roadhouse. We've been to Atomic several times and it's always good. Of course I wanted to try something new, but it's not my birthday. Thankfully, her mother also wanted to go because they also had not tried it. No signage on the outside, except a sandwich board, which I had never seen in all the times we've driven past. Typical bar on one side, large dining room on the other. Small menu, but excellent execution. We all got a single patty smash burger and fries, and started with cheese curds. WOW! Those cheese curds may have been the best I've ever had. And that burger! If I hadn't eaten at a grad party earlier, I probably would have gotten the double smash. And the portion of fries! I was able to finish all of mine, leaving everyone else wondering how! Nobody else could finish theirs. I will definitely be back!

    Our first visit to Dan's Road House was more than expected. The owner's mom recommended her son's…read morerecommended. Since I knew her from high school we headed to Cresco, IA for lunch, plus I had never had a smash burger. We left satisfied after a 'damn good' burger and fries. Tony had his plain and I added lettuce, tomatoes, and onion to mine. Heads up it comes with a double patty plus the bun is purchased locally from the town's bakery. Delicious! Forgot to mention we started off with a large serving of cheese curds and ranch dressing Yummy! The owner's dad, John, waited on us, and not only was he helpful and friendly, he was funny. Dan stopped by to check on us and we had a nice chat. The venue has a lengthy history and it feels and is decorated like a road house. We will be back!
