The gf wanted to check out I-80 MetalArt and we found the Chuckwagon Restaurant right across the…read morestreet. We arrived pretty much at straight up noon on a Saturday. I fully expected the place to be packed as it appears to be pretty much the only show in town as far as a sit down restaurant. There was a please wait to be seated sign there as we walked in. We were greeted right away and seated in minutes. It's old school wood tables and chairs and I think there was a counter available. Ordering is done at the tables as well as settline your bill up with your server. Surprisingly the speed of service continued throughout the visit. After drinks we ordered the rodeo burger and fries, a tenderloin with chili cheese fries, and the garlic cheeseballs. The cheeseballs came with marinara and ranch. Fresh, hot, and fantastic! I've eaten a lot of tenderloins. Many that have been highlighted as Iowa Tenderloin Trail winners or participants... This is one of the better tenderloins I've had in the state! Obviously hand made, breaded, and fried. Not too thick and not too thin. Drained properly. Served with the essential condiments including the holy trinity (onions, dill pickles, and mustard). The gf liked her burger. It could have used more of the featured ranch and bbq sauce. The fries... Neither of us cared for them. Obviously hand made, but almost too thin and too greasy. We'd both opt for a different side next time. To each our own though. Almost every small town along this stretch of I-80 has a pub & grill. The menus vary a little, but are very similar in a lot of aspects. The quality of service and the cooks make the biggest differences. The Chuckwagon hit five stars in some aspects of both. Work on those fries and the flavor of the chili (horribly bland) and this review would have been five stars. I'm going to emphasize this again. Truly one of the best tenderloins I've had in the state! Keep doing what you are doing!

All we asked was to make our drinks a large. Gavin proceeded to tell us our order broke their computer. When we came in to address they charged us wrong the older female working chose to meet us with attitude, stating she put it in the computer, but the promo they're having didn't work. So what should've been 2 for $15 plus tax & a drink up charge was $45. $7 for two drink up charges? The older woman called her boss and left us standing in the restaurant with no response, no "I'll be right back." no, "give me a moment." She proceeded to verbally express her frustrations on the issues at hand. But! DEEDEE prevailed & handled the situation

The woman asked if we wanted a 6 or 12 piece which 12 seems like a good deal so we went with 12. The woman's response was "we don't have a 12 piece" which we told her is what she told us our options were and her response was "no I didn't say that." Overall she had a really crappy attitude, almost like she was annoyed that she was wrong and got called out. I am giving this review more than one star only because of the gal at the second window. She was in a much better mood and kind! Her customer service was much better than the first window! The food was good, just wish the women at window one was kinder.

I'm so glad we thought to order them AFTER our meals came, or I would've eaten the humongous pile as my meal. Delicious! Chicken Wings: they have "the good ranch" and the wings were really good. Dirty Bird: turkey and bacon sandwich, side of coleslaw. All was good. Personally, this sandwich would be awesome with stuffing on it, like a thanksgiving leftovers sammy! It felt slightly...lacking something, but my aunt liked it so that's all that matters. Rueben (forgot pic until half was gone): very good! Perfectly toasted marble rye, french fries piping hot and delicious. Once the fries and Rueben were delivered, that's when we realized we forgot to order the onion rings and ordered those as well. Sirloin & Baked Potato (forgot pic until halfway through my baked potato ): delicious! However, I'm a total sucker for baked potatoes, lots of butter and sour cream. Also, I was so enthralled with the onion rings, I really didn't touch the steak beyond tasting one bite. I did bring it home for my lunch today! So again...let's talk about these amazing onion rings! I love large, hand-battered onion rings, not a huge fan of shoestrings. These hit every mark in my book, and were 100% worth the 45min drive! ‍‍Service was excellent, highly recommend! Sometimes it's just nice to go for a little drive, which we appear to be doing more of lately! All for $75, plus $25 tip was an awesome meal for $100. Very affordable and top quality.

That should have been told to us when they originally told us the price. They then tried to hand me a caramel sundae when we actually ordered a medium caramel malt. The kid at the window looked at the screen and said the screen said the sundae. I said again that was not what I ordered. He closed the window & stood in front of it with his back to us but obviously he was saying something because the other 3 employees that were standing there were all looking at me. Someone else made the malt, he hastily haded it to me saying "and you have a wonderful & blessed day" slamming the window shut. Worse part is, we also watched them get the order wrong in the car in front of us. We go there at least once a week but have decided it isn't worth the headache and will not be back.
