Reviews
We had drinks, fried alligator bites, and truffle fries. The drinks were amazing, and the food was good, though it could use a little fine-tuning. Overall, a nice spot if you’re looking for something a bit more upscale.
We were staying at the hotel and ended up coming to Wissota Chophouse almost every single day because it was that good. I was traveling with my two-year-old, and the entire staff could not have been kinder or more accommodating. They immediately brought her crayons and a coloring page every visit, and made us feel so welcome — which any parent knows is priceless when you’re on the road.
Their daily happy hour from 4–6 is truly unmatched: half-off wine and drafts (yes please!), and the vibes are relaxed and friendly. My daughter and I were both completely obsessed with the truffle fries and the bread and butter — honestly some of the best we’ve had anywhere. Everything we tried was delicious, fresh, and felt like such a treat without being stuffy.
A special shoutout to the manager, who is incredibly sweet and made sure every visit felt personal. Between the food, the service, and how family-friendly it is, this spot became the highlight of our stay.
If you’re in Ottumwa- especially if you’re staying at the hotel- you have to go. And definitely go during happy hour. You’ll want to come back every day too!
On top of that, most restaurants at least offer a bag for your bottle when you purchase wine to take home — poor staff training there as well. It seems customer service is a thing of the past.
This was my fourth visit, and each time has been more disappointing than the last. As a local, I’m not sure I’ll be back again.
