We had apologized for getting there so late! (It's was our fault for not double checking the time!) but they were so nice about it and reassured that it was okay! You can tell that everything was made fresh! (Because some places if you go last minute, it's always made so poorly) but they made everything so tasteful if we were the first customers of the day! We appreciate everything they did! Would always recommend this place to anyone! It maybe a little drive for some, but it's well worth the trip!

This was our second visit to Palermo's in Jackson, and it was much better than our first time,…read morewhich was over a year ago. It's only about a 15 minute drive from Sioux City, so now with this improved experience, I think we will go more often. We had 8 plus a high chair child in our party last night. They were kind and helpful when we called to make a reservation, and were ready for us. The restaurant was about 70% full. The kids and teens all ordered fettuccine Alfredo, of course, and they really liked it! I had the lobster ravioli with shrimp special. Someone had the gnocchi, someone else had the vodka sauce, and the last person had the rigatoni a la palermo. No one had any complaints. Everyone really liked their dinners. Every one of us brought home leftovers for at least one more meal. For drinks, everyone got lemonade or soda, except I had two glasses of Cabernet. Their wine list could be expanded. They have most varieties of both red and white, but there is no choice except the house wine, which is Robert Mondavi. Ambience is interesting. Some tin on the walls makes for a loud environment. Feels kind of like a remodeled machine shed or something but is set up nicer than that. The scent of fabuloso sort of blasts you when you walk in, which is fairly off putting, But once you enter the dining room, the smell is as it should be in an Italian restaurant: it smells like Italian food. Considering the portions are large enough for at least two meals each, I'd say it's a great value. The service is exceptional!

They were a bit busy, but still. I did also get the salad bar. That was fantastic. It's a nice, open, dive-bar place. Horseshoe bar, a few games, a dart board, pull tabs. Family friendly. A decent tv situation. Prices are fine. It's a good stop for a small town, I just didn't feel like I got the bang for my buck. Street parking, but there's plenty. Bathrooms were nice enough. The women working were very sweet. I don't think I'll drive out of my way to come here, but it's good if you're already in the area.

Then we waited 10+ minutes until someone came to greet us and get our drink order. There were 5 people working (not counting the two working the sushi counter) and maybe 6 tables sat. Finally, a professional and courteous server (Rodney) approached us, surprised we hadn't been helped yet. So he served us! Rodney was awesome, and he made it worth the wait. The food was excellent. One of us had the Udon dish and one had the garlic green bean chicken. As an appetizer, we shared a Philly roll with rice paper instead of seaweed wrap. We both agreed that this sushi beat any other local sushi for us. I have to say our entrees were top notch as well: high quality, fresh ingredients with excellent sauces and flavors, served in large portions. We both brought home at least one more meal. Add-on proteins like chicken and fish were only one dollar! The place was quite clean. Solid bar selections! Wine list is pretty limited, but a generous pour! Everyone at the checkout/host stand was very polite as we left. Because of the quality, cleanliness, and Rodney's service, I think we just found our new favorite local Asian spot in the area!

As for the place it's nice but the youngest sibling got scared of this alligator head bowl they have next to the fish tank. Update! The food was unusual...you see I got some shrimp tacos but once my food came. The shrimp still had that black line on them and they were kinda chewy, as for the tortillas they were placed in they were cold and chewy as well. The plate also had some rice that was chewy and cold, some fries were added to my plate and they were cold too. A small cup of salad came with the dish but once I looked at it the vegetables were brown! My dad got himself some seafood plate, and keep in mind my dad loves seafood but once he ate is meal he said he really didn't like it. My sister's plate was some spicy shrimp that turned out to be sweet instead of spicy.

Stopped here for breakfast on a road trip because it was the only food for miles that wasnt gas…read morestation food, it had decent reviews on google and yelp so we chose to eat there. i dont know when these good reviews are from or how there even are any good reviews because this was honestly the most sad restaurant ive ever been to. It was one old lady working there who i assumed is the owner and no customers besides me and my dad, she was very nice but the way she looked at us when we walked in was as though she was saying in her head "are you sure you want to eat here?" which was my first red flag, not to mention the fact that the place was a total ghost town and didnt smell like there had been food cooked there on a regular basis in a long time. the restaurant had a very grandmas house type ambiance and many antiques on display which was nice but the food was certainly not made with love as it would be at grandmas house, in fact all the food was frozen and microwaved. Never once while i was waiting for my food did i hear the sound of frying or even smell anything cooking, all i could hear was the microwave beeping and the door opening and closing many times which was definitely another red flag. My suspicions were confirmed when the burger i got came to the table and the bun was store bought, the patty i could tell was frozen and had a weird flavor to it, the lettuce and onions tasted unwashed, and even the fries were microwaved and tasted freezer burnt. it also came with a packet of mustard and a packet of mayo like as if it was school lunch. My dad ordered the biscuits and gravy and he said the gravy was flavorless and the sausage was rubbery. We both got coffee and the coffee didnt have any flavor at all. At our table there were various old photos that told a sad story of what looked to be an establishment that was once booming in its hay day but now the passion has been lost. i hate to make this review because i feel bad for the owner but people deserve the truth and the truth is that i paid full price for an inedible meal and no one else should have to be misled by the good reviews for this place like i was. i couldve just gone to culvers and gotten a good burger for the same price as i paid for an inedible one.

When you walk through the door, there is a long, 1940's style soda fountain counter right in front of you. Wooden booths flank the two windows, and the remainder of the space is taken up by tables and chairs. A gift shop is off to the right. They go all out for holidays and a Halloween animatronic greeted us when we entered (this is written in October.) While deciding what to order, sodas were accompanied by ice cold frosted mugs. Menu is small and they were out of a couple of items. The food is ok, but there were two issues which resulted in the four stars, instead of five. 1.) The grilled cheese sandwich was grilled in grease that left an odd taste. Not enough to deter eating it, but definitely noticeable. 2.) The chicken salad tasted like it was made with a cheap sandwich dressing, not mayonnaise - a little bit disappointing. Service was quick and super friendly. Prices are very reasonable. Definitely worth a repeat visit if only to see the seasonal decorations. By the way, you can only pay by cash or check. No credit cards accepted.

I should have asked for extra chili crunch or chili oil to put on to make them a little spicier. Dirty edamame- this was GREAT! Highly recommend. Spicy, garlicky, and 100% addicting. Crab Rangoon came with our lunch meals-these were yummy. Plenty of cream cheese mixture, which was nice. Some places don't give enough. Main dish: Chicken Thai curry- we both ordered this and it was super tasty. I was getting lots of lemongrass notes. Very unique and delicious! We left stuffed to the rim with lots leftover. We will absolutely be going back!

I have liked everything I have ordered here over the 7-8 times I have been here so far. One curious thing was on our most recent visit when 2 friends and I ordered skinny margaritas: they delivered them 2/3 - 3/4 full (in short glasses) with a ton of ice. We mentioned it to our server and he had some sort of explanation that didn't really make sense, but, regardless, it seems they should do whatever it takes to give us each a full margarita. It was delicious, though!! The service has always been great. The ambience is good and the bathrooms are always really clean and well-stocked.
