Spirit Lake, Iowa…read more The outside of this restaurant is adorable. Picnic tables, and a few four top tables sit randomly underneath a tree with outdoor lights. The inside is cold and modern. Plastic chairs, low back high top chairs and concrete floor. Photos line the wall, mostly of kids and scribble crayon on the back wall It is a walk up where you order your food and then they bring it to the table. The guy taking my order was curt. Asked him if they fry their items in beef tallow. He said no. Then I told him I had a question about the turkey burger. He was gruff and said what do you wanna know. Then I asked him if he had to pick between two sandwiches, which would he pick? He shrugged his shoulders. Perhaps he should not be working the front of the house with his lack of personality. My husband's burger was plain but good. My turkey burger was very dry. The onion jam was absolutely delicious and so was the bun that it was served on. We ordered a side of tater tots. They have a bit of kick and spice to them. However, they were soft. I prefer my tater tots to be cooked to a crunch. Not wet and limp. You can order soda, but it is sold by the can. There are no fountain drinks. There is no table service. In fact, I have not seen one employee walk since we have been here. I would give thus place a 3.8 for food. I would give them one star for service. No, I would never come back

Was recommended to stop by here for dinner after weekend working in town. Not what I expected, but…read morethat was ok! It is a very quaint, no-fuss bar right on the water. I would say 10 tables total plus the bar top. They also only take cash, so either come with cash in hand or use the ATM there. I was told they are known for their burgers, which became obvious when looking at the menu, as that is really all they have, plus some assorted appetizers. I was also told the fried cauliflower was good. I had a mushroom Swiss burger and it was delicious. Ooey gooey cheese and sautéed mushrooms. I did go foe the cauliflower, which was good, I just didn't care for the cheese sauce that came with it. Tap options are also a bit limited. If you're in the mood for a good burger, the Channel Inn is a great stop in Fairmont.

Tonight I watched someone order just onion rings and my oh my---they look and smell delicious!! Biggest order I've ever seen!! I had the R U Nuts burger without BBQ sauce and regular fries.

We could not have been more happy with how amazing the food was! The menu offered a great selection of burgers, sandwiches and other items.

They were very accommodating and even provided the extra plate (edit: after getting the bill, I noticed either they upped the price of the sandwich from the menu price OR they charge $2 to share a sandwich. Not real thrilled about that part, but truly the only negative)! While having a different taste with the peanut butter, it was surprisingly a delicious sandwich. Chips were crisp for the most part.

What a find! Beautiful hole in wall in downtown Jackson. Walked in @ 1930 and they had posted…read morethat they would be closing @ 2000. Was promptly greeted and shown to a booth. Staff came by with the menu and I ordered a coke (FYI they do have a full bar). They brought the coke and I then ordered the breaded pork tenderloin with sweet potato fries. When my meal arrived I was impressed (see picture). That's no frozen mass produced pork tenderloin, that is a fresh cut, pounded and breaded one right there. Served with all the right fix'ns (pickles, thinly sliced white onion and sliced tomato). Tenderloin was bigger than the bun (a must for a good pork tenderloin). The fries were great too. Don't quote me, but I do believe that they were fresh sweet potato fries as well. I will be back!

Found this amazing spot on yelp. Not far from our campground on storm Lake. Amazing TVs to watch…read moreyour sports great wooden floors great atmosphere in the staff are truly amazing! We had the bucket of wings, which, of course we could only make a dent in because there were so many wings so well worth the $30. The onion rings were crispy Krunchy and every sauce we got, especially the Carolina sauce was killer. I don't know who smoking their wings, but they know what they're doing. Get here enjoy the atmosphere, enjoy the music, by yourself one of their fabulous T-shirts for only 20 bucks, I mean come on who sells T-shirts for $20 anymore. That's just amazing.

Disclaimer: I was the only person there when I arrived on a Tuesday evening…read more I was in the area for work and stopped here for dinner and I was very pleasantly surprised by this place. It has the quintessential downtown bar and grill with weathered small town elements - deep and narrow store front, hardwood flooring, neon signs, large tap selection. I ordered the Billie Jo burger medium rare, and it was the best burger I've had in a long time. Toppings were fresh, cold, and crisp, fries were piping hot. Top notch!

Always a good time. Call ahead and make sure they are serving food! But whenever the grill is open…read moreit's worth a stop. My fav is the weird combo Fourth of July burger which is exactly what you love about summer. Baked beans, potato chips, hot dogs, and a hamburger it's enough for two meals and I always have leftovers! My friend got the crab Rangoon something also was yummy! It's a bar so it's dark and chill. Everyone's friendly and it's always clean.

Slice of bacon(real), pickle and olives, rimmed with celery salt & pepper. This was delicious. I ended up having 2! Ordered the onion rings with house made ranch sauce. Love the ranch. The rings were more like strings (which I love). Big ol heap! Loved these. Main course! I got the prime rib with parmesan fries and green beans. Parm fries were crispy and tasted great. The prime had great flavor but was a lil tough to cut. Nice thickness though. The au jus tasted more like pre-made but not quite sure. The green beans were quite rubbery & squeaky but not a huge deal as I had already eaten my weight in onion rings & fries. My other half had the prime rib philly. He said it was good and had great flavor. Wasn't a bad choice. The atmosphere was part bar & grill and other half was quiet sit down type. It was a confusing entry. I think we were suppose to be seated but there wasn't a sign and nobody really acknowledged us when we walked in the bar side. No biggie, we found our own booth. If we would be in the neighborhood again we of course would stop. They had a good crowd. I would suggest to try it out. Oh and I was too full to try the cheesecake but wish I could've.

A nice place. Service was some of the best I've ever had. Food was solid, but not the best. I will…read moresay that I think it is as good as I expected it to be, but I always hope it'll be better thus I am not leaving a 5-star review. Fried pickles spears with the rock n roll sauce were great. I wouldn't have ordered these except my server recommended them out of all the apps, so I went with that. Fried things at places like this usually lack flavor and are just salty, fried bar food. These had some kick. The rock n roll sauce was like a Mayo with Frito's Chili Cheese Twists, so they were yummy. Tilapia on wild rice was ok, but it's tilapia, so how amazing can it be, right? Broccoli wasn't too over cooked and it still had a healthy green color, so I was happy with that. And the fries were a tad greasy, but they came out hot and crunchy. I think if they let the oil drain off them a bit more under a heat lamp, they'd hold their crispness a bit longer. Oh, and it was an entire plate of fries, so portions were generous. Lastly, everything was served very quickly. The place wasn't super-busy, but it wasn't dead and I was happy about the timeliness. I ordered an app first then placed an order for my entree after munching on that. And I was out done in 45 minutes. Granted, I was eating alone, but still. If you enjoy meat, I highly recommend giving this place a shot. I am a pescatarian (mostly vegetarian) and I have a sneaking suspicion that their beef and chicken options have much more developed flavors.
