    Best tenderloin ever!
    Pat G.

    St Olaf, Ia. "1R's Tap" . 5 star dining. The absolute BEST tenderloin I have EVER eaten. Humongous! Thick! Delicious! The beer batter fries and the jalapeño poppers were to die for (almost). My sister and I give it five stars. Only 1 1/2 hours from C.R.

    Awesome place for beer and tenderloins!! 2nd best tenderloin in Iowa!! Perfectly seasoned and breaded. They accept credit cards now...

    Think outside the bun!

    Had a great hand made pork tenderloin and it was great. Homemade onion rings were also very good.

    A MUST TRY BRUNCH SPOT!!…read more Husband and I both raved about this place all weekend and can't wait to come back! It's "cute" inside and features art from a local artist that you can purchase. We were also fortunate enough to be sat in a window seat and loved starting our day watching the energy of main street while enjoying delicious coffee and sandwiches! Husband a turkey club (the Logan?) and a iced vanilla chai latte. I got the cranberry chicken salad sandwich and an iced vanilla and caramel latte. Husband LOVED their homemade chips!

    Before I review Big Bill's, I'd like to comment on the last review left by Michelle P. on November…read more8. It was a one-star review and was an obvious hit job. How do I know? Our server Carol helped my wife and me and her party as well that day. They were complaining from the time they walked in. When they asked for special treatment and got it (ordering breakfast during lunch), Michelle chose not to eat. As a former business owner, I do not like it when people leave hit job type reviews when they are not deserved. I am only surprised that no one has reviewed Big Bill's since. I was not going to review the place as I have reviewed it before. It hasn't changed - it's still great. We were staying at 305 North Inn up the street and took advantage of the $10 per person per day credit they offered at Big Bill's. Every day our servers were responsive and the food delicious. You can't go wrong. The prices are still low and the environment is still warm and inviting. I'm impressed!
