What People Are Saying
from Google"Was there first time. Nothing to rave about. Had to ask to get water refill after I was about to leave. The person I came with got his coke refilled promptly. Waitress knew nothing about beer. I asked for a Coors Banquet and she showed me a Shriners Bock and then a Coors light. At least she admitted she knew nothing about alcohol or beer then I had to ask for a glass for my Shriners Bock. Appetizers were OK pretzels, and cheese. And then the hamburger, the Iowa Stater ( $19 ) oh my God, you called that a hamburger and then you put Cy sauce on it. That was horrible. Next time just do cheese. The best entertainment is won the Army recruiters came in at least we have something to laugh about. It was dead. I used to come out there once in a while with everybody from cyclone liquors let me tell you I ain’t missing nothing now and that was in late 80s early 90s"
"We were there for an early supper. We were the only customers. Service was pretty slow. The menu is limited. We ordered the corn dip app. I had the chicken strips and my wife had the chicken wrap. The app was okay. My chicken strips were nothing special. The wrap was good. The price was reasonable. I would like to try the breakfast buffet on the weekend."
"If you're excited to pay $17 for a hotel contentintal breakfast, this is the place for you. We went in expecting a nice hotel brunch, what they had instead was the same warmer trays and make-your-own waffle setup that every mid-rate hotel offers. It is what it is, but it's not what you would expect for the price. Food and price aside, the restaurant was just not very clean. The glasses next to the juice were splattered with something (old milk?) and the rest of the breakfast bar had clearly not been attended to all morning. Oh and Newsmax on the TV so you can get a good helping of propaganda with your mediocre food."
"Had the Lane & Hammer Blue Cheese Burger with fries on the side. Very generous portions. I ate half the burger and took the other half to finish later. I enjoyed the meal and the staff were warm and friendly. It was a bit cold in there during the day compared to when I visited the bar the previous night, but it was manageable."
"Received incorrect order; did not make it right yet charges us for the order. Despite asking for the incorrect order to be removed from the bill, the manager would not. I came to have nice a dinner with my son, left very frustrated and he did not even receive the food he ordered, nor did he eat what was served. I am in the service industry; I know unreasonable requests; our request was more than valid."
