I had a delicious hamburger! The place we ate in is a sports bar so it was noisy. But the food was delicious! There is a quieter restaurant downstairs.

Lou Ann Armentrout
New space, clean and inviting but really loud. More of a sports bar atmosphere. Food and service were excellent! Maybe Fri/Sat Nights are a little more subdued.

We reserved a table there for approximately 12 people for a meeting to organize an Iowa Gathering. The weather was nasty and the golf course was closed, but they remained open so our group could show up! Alexis, Joey and Crystal were super great! Hubby has allergies and they checked throughly for him. He ended up eating a hamburger patty on lettuce, and onion rings and I had tacos (which were amazing!). From what I heard….everyone enjoyed the food!! They were very accommodating and we appreciated it!
