This place is an absolute gem!…read more The parking lot is small, but it's conveniently located at the top of the hill. There's also some additional parking on the other side of the restaurant. We've never had any trouble finding parking, but we usually arrive around 5 or 6 PM. If you're a fan of red meat, this is the place for you. I've tried both the ribeye and the prime rib, and both were absolutely fantastic. The portion sizes are generous for the price, so I always end up with leftovers. The prime rib is perfectly seasoned with a nice crust. I usually order my steaks medium rare, and they've always come out just right, except for one time when I got an end piece that I sent back. They quickly replaced it and agreed that it was more medium than rare. The jalapeño poppers are delicious, and the house salad is equally tasty. I always get the hashbrowns as a side, while my friend usually gets the brussels sprouts and the au gratin. I've never tried anything else, but I'm sure you'll be happy with whatever you order. But the pie is the star of the show! Get the French Silk pie, made from scratch by the owner. The crust has just the right amount of saltiness to complement the rich chocolate mousse filling. The mousse isn't too dense, but it's not as light as meringue either. If you're a chocolate lover, you absolutely must try it. Pro tip: If you're there on a busy night, it might be a good idea to order your pie when you order your food. I did this one night because I was dreaming of the pie all week, and I'm so glad I did. Unfortunately, they ran out by the time the rest of our table ordered dessert, but my waiter had set aside my piece just for me, so I was able to enjoy it.

They have daily specials and an ample menu. We ordered the bubba burger, kids fish, kids boneless wings, and another burger. Everything came out super hot and portions were big. The burger was really good. Big, juicy, and just the right amount of toppings. The kids said the fish and chicken were good too. I like that the burgers can be chicken sandwiches too. A lot more options. Our waitress was really good and helpful.

Brayden promptly came and took our order as we were thirsty. All of the sudden, Clark joined us at the table and we had a quick discussion about beer. We then found out he was the owner. We discussed beer and he was very generous with his time and recommended what to try. We were extremely pleased with the beer. The food was top notch as well as we tried the burger of the month and a few pizzas. Will definitely be back if we are ever in the area. Highly recommend a stop!

This is one of those "destination" breweries that is as much about hosting events as it is making…read moregreat beer. That said, the beer tends to be excellent (if they have it on tap). It's an enormous, industrial-chic space and is built for events and charter busses. Their patio is dog friendly but you have to come inside to order at the bar after checking in. The food looked decent and the pretzel was ok. Standard, uninspired brewpub food for the most part. Worth noting that their beer list isn't up to date so we missed out on a few barrel aged things they said they had. Basically you have to get there on release day if you want any non-flagship dark beers. It's a nice one-stop shop on a road trip for food and beer but I don't think it's worth going out of the way for.

I really wanted to love this place but it was a big let down…read more First, we were there on a Friday, just before what is likely a very busy time. We sat at the bar. The servers were there, obviously waiting for customers to start arriving, and they were all congregating at the end of the bar, chatting it up. It was super unprofessional and pretty annoying. We were glad when the food came out quickly so we could just eat and leave. To be honest, I don't recall what my husband ordered. I got the pork tenderloin. The tenderloin was very tough and had zero flavor. Like, I don't think they even put salt in the coating, let alone any other seasonings. This is Iowa, if you can't make anything else at all, you should at least have a decent pork tenderloin. This was our second time trying the place. Both instances were equally underwhelming. I wanted this to be our "go to" place but sadly we won't return.

We had the chicken enchiladas and the Mexican street tacos. Both were good - but the beef on the street tacos was a bit dry. Once we added salsa and guacamole, they tasted pretty darn authentic. The serving sizes were average and the prices were slightly higher than we expected - with a tip and water to drink the bill came to $35.00. Not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of if you're a first time visitor. If we are in the area again, we'd definitely revisit. Especially during the week when the lunch menu is in effect....with more value priced plates. Recommended.
