The IowaStater Restaurant Reviews
For three years and running, our family has been going on Thanksgiving day for their holiday meal. It’s a great way to enjoy a holiday together and not have to shop, prep, cook, or clean up. The menu items are delicious and we’re thankful for the staff that takes care of us. It’s a fun new tradition. Looking forward to it every year!

The IowaStater Restaurant provides a comfortable dining environment with fresh flowers and linen napkins. The lunch menu offers a variety of options, including the Iowa pork chop and tasty French fries. Servers, such as Erin, are attentive, although some reviews indicate that service can be inconsistent. While the pork chop was slightly overcooked, the restaurant generally meets expectations for a satisfying meal. It is a good choice for many occasions, but there is room for improvement in food preparation and service training. Recent reviews mention issues like disinterested servers not offering drink refills, greasy sandwiches, and average soup. Parking directions have been confusing, with closed routes and no alternate guidance provided. The restaurant is not particularly kid-friendly unless children are very well behaved. Despite some shortcomings, the atmosphere, friendly staff, and tasty dishes make it a suitable spot for a meal.
