Oh my gosh! This place is what finding hometown gems is all about. I ordered a double cheese burger with cheese curds and a milkshake. Their beef is locally sourced from the butcher and never frozen. They make their own mayo, ranch and even the sauces for their milkshakes. The service was great and the staff was welcoming. This is a place not to be missed if do or don’t live in Mason City.

The IA Breaded Pork Tenderloin experience was magical. Just onion and mustard. Fries were seasoned with a tasty sprinkle.

Fabulous Patty Melt! Shared this double beef patty sandwich with tons of cheese and onions with my lovely hubby and it was delicious! Even had leftovers.. the shake and fries we’re like from my memories as a kid. Greasy and salty and smooth and creamy. You need to Come here! Totally worth it!

Really not pleased with this place. We are from out of town and was looking for breakfast and want and older mom and pop cafe. We found this place since it said they have breakfast and when we arrived we were told pretty quickly that it is not dine in that we could sit outside in the heat or it to go. Once we ordered we could not even wait to get our food we had to sit outside and they would bring to us. Not to pleased with the service at all. They do not serve breakfast and for what we ordered was pretty good but way over priced. Got milkshakes charged 6.50 and brings out a 12 ounce shake I’m sorry there was nothing special about them. We will never be back.

Great place for a casual meal. Breakfast is great. Lunch was great. Owner is a fun guy. Ask him to do little magic for you. Place is small but worth a wait to eat in a piece of history. If your looking for gourmet dinner you should try northwest steakhouse.

This place is great. I googled them to look up hours to see if they are open today so I could go after church and noticed some idiot put a review that should not be there. It is not unclean or run down. It is historically preserved. The owner got grant money to do so I believe and he has to keep it historically accurate. It is an awesome, albeit small, intimate, fun place! And the food is seriously is great! It’s a great place for a quick bite and some good conversation. Because it’s a counter style, you can talk with others as much or as little as you want, but I have run into all kinds of folks from top government to local disabled there; I love it! And the owner will do magic tricks for you if you like; that’s his other job. The food is cooked in front of you old style from scratch, and there’s plenty of it; good sautéed veggies, good real cheeses, great sauces, etc. I just to take a second to hopefully in part undo someone’s incorrect review.
Oh, and I just noticed the picture that comes along with these reviews on google is quite old and not what it looks like anymore since the owner has restored it.

My wife and I drove the couple of hours from Minneapolis to meet a friend from Grinnell here. What a great choice.
The owner and his 17-year-old son provided us with great service, food, and laughs. We learned the diner is a Valentine building and one of only eight left in the world, it opened in 1948, and he’s the eighth owner. He has a real passion for his work and clearly loves to make people happy.
Suggestion: buy a hand pull French fry cutter that you mount to a wall and a bunch of potatoes. You’ll have the best, homemade fries in the area, can charge more for them, and they’re cheaper than frozen fries. Maybe the same idea with the onion rings.
My wife had the battered cod special, I had the pork tenderloin sandwich, and our friend the everything hash browns, which had veggies, eggs, and homemade salsa. We were all very happy.
The owner did a few magic tricks for us when he had a few minutes. He’s quite the showman. Perfect personality for serving diners at a counter and some magic. He was also quite proud of his city and encouraged us to see the local music club that Buddy Holly played just before dying in a plane crash and the Frank Lloyd Wright Hotel.
We will definitely be back!!

Had a delicious pork tenderloin sandwich, fries and Sioux City root beer today at Suzie Q’s. Friendly service and atmosphere. While we were waiting for our order a veteran came in to order lunch. Suzy Q’s wait staff came outside, took his order, and carried lunch out to him. They showed kindness and compassion in the way they waited on a disabled veteran with prosthetic limb and crutches.
