Reviews
I notice there are no responses by the establishment to reviews, so I am directly demanding one even if it’s short.
Obviously my girl and I were from out of town, the Bartender wouldn’t take our drink order because our drivers licenses were not horizontal facing, and because my girls license was from out of state. The Bartender said “it’s required to get a horizontal face license when you turn 21”
I played dumb but long story short there is Zero requirement in the State of Iowa Law that says that, and she doesn’t know I am also a bartender. She claimed you guys recently got stung by the police, that does not mean you can deny all horizontal facing drivers licenses, if it was required by state law, license expiration dates would not exceed the holders 21st birthday. That’s just common sense. But I get that small town bars don’t get the same experience as city bartenders.
We also felt way up charged due to poor wording when taking orders maybe due to miscommunication but poor word choice nonetheless. After I asked for the Mushroom bacon burger, the Bartender asked “would you like anything with that?” I have been working in the restaurants for 15 years and that implies “would you like a side of something” which is usually at a reduced price or only a couple dollars extra. But we were charged for full price appetizers, my girl and I both got “sides” with our entree. They came on the same dish as the entree, on the side. Well aware this is a fine dining restaurant. But poor training and menu design is universal.
The cook did great, the food was good.
Our waitress was fun and awesome, food was excellent (chili and Swiss mushroom burger) and the place was so cool looking.
Glad we got off the beaten path to try it!
I had a breaded chicken sandwich with bacon, mushrooms, and Swiss cheese. The cheese was put on right before coming out so I didnt have high hopes, but I was completely wrong. When it was ordered didnt ask for the normal lettuce, tomato, mayo compliments and this sandwich didnt need it. This breaded chicken had a wonderful batter cooked perfectly and so amazingly moist inside. It didnt need anything special.
My companion ordered a pork tenderloin sandwich and in true Iowa style it was larger than the bun, but this wasn’t pounded down pork tenderloin, this had some decent thickness with again an amazingly crunchy and moist breading and the tenderloin was very juicy, something hard to find in my tour of tenderloins in Iowa.
Stop and try both. They have a very plentiful menu including breakfast! Reasonably priced as well.
Kudos to Bill’s place for some of the best going out food I have had in quite a while!
The afternoons are a different story more than once I’ve waited 20 to 25 minutes in the off room and nobody showed up to take an order so I walked out.
