I can't say enough good things about Mullets in Norwalk! I worked with Zack, the manager, to plan…read moredinner and beverages for ~35 guests. Our group consisted of locals and family members who had traveled to the area for a wedding. Given that a significant portion of us was staying at a nearby hotel, the Mullet's location was perfect. I provided Zack with the headcount and budget, and he took care of everything with ease. He put together a special menu, set up a dedicated section of the restaurant, and ensured that every detail was perfect. The custom menu featured poplar items from the regular menu, and covered the various dietary preferences of our guests. Our group had a diverse age range, from seven to ninety years old, and we received numerous compliments from our guests throughout the evening. The setup and service were great, and everyone left happy and satisfied. The volume level was just right, allowing us all to converse comfortably. The service was friendly and attentive, and it was evident that everyone at Mullets valued our business - from the initial planning stages to our departure at the end of the evening.

I am very picky on Mexican food, lived in San Diego for years , visited TJ frequently for authentic cuisine. I always judge a place on; #1 hot sauce- can tell it's made with love, roasted to perfection and spicy as it should be.. #2 Camarones a La Diabla - my favorite dish- never watery, actually spicy and lots of shrimp packed with flavor.. #3 street tacos . Go to taco truck messy / hit miss $3-5 small tacos - here $2.50 taco - quick, delicious every time.. Usually only get seafood as that's my favorite- I always get spicy mussels for appetizers. Kids and family love chorizo queso, chili verde, quesadillas, seafood cocktails, Recently been trying other dishes.. my new go to -non seafood is Carne de su jugo.. it's perfect. Always Don Julio margaritas. They know how to make drinks properly.. Support this local small town business. They are legit and the only Mexican food that is always good.

It's on the west side, so when we got there at 5, the sunshades were effectively blocking the sun's rays, but by 6 we were in the sun. Just depends on what you're looking for and what time of year, but it is a nice space. We got in our drink orders, and the two ladies in our group had drink questions, so our under the legal age server cheerfully went in and got all their questions answered. Our drinks and food came out fast. They have some items tthat are also available in Valley Junction, and some unique to this location. One in our group got the Meatloaf Meltdown. It was good, but maybe not quite what we've had at the Valley Junction location. Their recipe is great though! My wife got the Protein Bowl with Chicken. The veggies were fresh, and the chicken was a bit dry. Overall pretty good. I got the Sonoma Chicken. That was a clear winner! It was a great combination of flavors that melded together very nicely. The coleslaw was a bit soggy and not all that flavorful, but that was a minor inconvenience. Fries were good. They have a good drink menu, and an OK selection of wines. Service was friendly and pretty efficient. With the sun warming things up, we did move inside for our final drinks. Service at the bar hightops was excellent and the drinks were tasty. It was a Tuesday night and they were either filling up or full the 3 hours we were there. I'd definitely give it another try!

After leaving the flea market at the Iowa State fairgrounds my daughter and I ended up at Jack's…read morePlace today for lunch. Jack's opened up on the Southside last November and has been getting some traction for their burgers and tenderloin. The menu is simple enough at just one page... Dimly lit like many neighborhood bar and grills. The decor has a rustic feel. Lots of wood, metal, and "leather." It's seat yourself. Seating is a bar and barstools. There's at least one high top and multiple low top tables and chairs. They have a small parking lot in front of the restaurant right off of SW 9th and there appears to be an adjacent parking lot that can be used too. We were greeted right away when we walked in and the bartender/our server told us to take a seat anywhere we wanted to. Our drink orders were taken a minute or two later. I can't remember if we were given menus or if they were at the table with the condiment caddy and extra napkins. When asked I ordered the tenderloin (just onions and pickles...mustard was at the table) and fries. My daughter wasn't very hungry and she just ordered the pretzel bites. Those two items and two fountain drinks were $29 and change before tip. They accept cash and cards. The bill is presented to you at the table and the payment is picked up from the table as well. There's a small surcharge for using a card to cover the service fees. I was able to steal a couple of pretzel bites from my daughter. Both of us really liked these. The cheese sauce that came with the pretzel bites is a beer sauce, but one that isn't overwhelmingly flavored like beer. It's subtle and VERY good. Served hot and fresh! Same with the tenderloin and fries! Hot and fresh and both, without a doubt, right out of the fryer... The tenderloin is obviously hand cut and breaded. It's a thicker tenderloin...and I like that. I'm not a thin hubcap guy where the bun is almost an afterthought and is basically a waste of real estate on the plate. I want to taste the pork along with the breading and the condiments. This tenderloin checked the boxes for me. I'd order the tenderloin here again in a heartbeat! One memorable thing about this visit was a conversation with a Vietnam era veteran who was sitting at the bar waiting for a to go order. The cook had called out to ask if I wanted mayo on the tenderloin. I'd laughed and asked... "What kind of an animal puts mayo on a tenderloin?" So no. He and I had something in common besides service. The holy trinity...pickles, onion, and mustard only. And I'm just TEASING! You do you! My girlfriend eats mayo on her tenderloins too and we've been together for over a decade. And I rib her every time. It's not my fault some people weren't raised right... Lol I was a Nick's guy. Is this a Nick's replacement? No. BUT it's a great tenderloin and not far off Nick's as far as thickness and tenderness of the pork. I'm still looking. To say our server Raina (I might not have spelled this correctly) was personable and friendly is an understatement... She's one of those national treasures. Someone who can make almost anyone smile and not only do you walk away with a good experience you feel like you have a new friend. If the food had sucked I'd still recommend Jack's on her service alone. Raina shared with us that there is no Jack. That the restaurant's name comes from their signature sauce. Can't use the whole name of one of the sauce's base ingredients... Trademark and all. Lol I wish I could remember the cook's name... She popped out of the kitchen a couple of times and Raina said that she is the one that makes the magic happen. And from the taste of the food she might not have been joking... They offer daily food and drink specials and it looks like items often pop up that aren't regular menu items... So watch their Facebook page too. Once again... A neighborhood bar and grill for the win. Great people and food! Jack's has several TVs available to watch the games on. Raina was wearing a Hawkeyes shirt and there's a Hawkeyes sign behind the bar... Being an Iowa State fan I kind of avoided talking about football.

They have a daily special usually for lunch and dinner which is advertised on a sign at the front of the store and out by the street on a big sign. I have visited this location on 3 separate weeks in the last 3 months. I have always gotten things to go and usually there was a young person behind the counter. I did see the owner and while he wasn't butterflies and rainbows, he wasn't rude either. I rather enjoyed the things I ordered there. Was good for take out breakfast and lunches. Portions are decent and always hot. Their carry out containers are outstanding. They actually keep things hot and remind me of a sectioned Tupperware container. I really enjoyed the biscuits and gravy, fresh baked and very meaty gravy. Chili cheese home fries: real fresh home fried potatoes, home made chili and tons of cheese. The Maid Rite: This was my first experience with a loose meat sandwich. It sort of reminded me of a sloppy joe with out the red sauce. It was good, interesting for sure and I would get one again. I just happened to order one my last day in town. I am sure I will stop back again when I am in town.
