First of all I NEVER leave reviews so obviously this is important to me. I rarely do sit down lunches but I was with my adult son and thought it would be fun. Food was delicious. The cheese curds were the BEST I’ve ever eaten. My Reuben was odd: roast beef instead of corned beef (although the roast beef was melt in your mouth delightful without a speck of fat 🥰), a teeny bit of sauerkraut (unheard of!) and NO thousand island dressing! The waitress was confused when I asked for some dressing in a side container 🙄 If I had wanted a roast beef and cheese sandwich it would’ve been sheer perfection. Now onto things making this review negative: the waitress didn’t know if they had NA beer so she had to run and ask. Ok fine. I ordered a Sam Adam’s IP: it was delivered barely above room temperature—in a can. No glass (gross—never ever drink from a can in a restaurant since you don’t know if they wipe the tops completely clean before serving). I asked for a frosty mug to pour the beer into. NA beer is very bitter if it’s not cold. She comes back—no frosty mugs (what Iowa restaurant/bar doesn’t have frosty mugs?!). So I had to send her BACK to AT LEAST get a glass to drink the beer from 🤦🏼♀️ So right out of the gate bar service was slow. Shortly after the meal was delivered my son ordered an Old Fashioned. It took sooo long that the drink didn’t arrive until our meal was FINISHED. I was ready to leave but he said to give it another 5-10 minutes. He’d been really looking forward to it. So we sat there for some more time 🤷🏼♀️ That makes the bar service unacceptable. There were only 3 tables of occupied inside the restaurant for Pete’s sake. There were numerous workers (who spent plenty of time talking to each other) and it wasn’t even close to being busy. Now onto the most EGREGIOUS thing I’ve ever experienced in any restaurant in all the many years I’ve eaten out. They have patio or indoor dining. It’s Iowa humid summertime so I wanted a cool ac interior, no big deal. And MAYBE they have ac but it was hard to tell. They left the door to the outside COMPLETELY OPEN!! It appeared to be left open for the convenience of the waitstaff ferrying food and drinks to the patio. They didn’t bother to have the overhead fans going inside at all 😳🙄 So while I can live with all that it was the FLIES that wouldn’t leave us alone which ruined the entire experience. We were constantly swatting them away, off our arms and shoulders, they were landing on our legs under the table and at one point I saw one land on a plate (but not the food so maybe that made it okay 🤔). Circling back to the overhead fans not operating—if they’d been spinning I believe it could’ve made a difference. I honestly should have refused to pay the bill but I’m Iowa nice through and through. I’m NOT Iowa nice enough to not leave a scathing review though.

Having a great time in this wonderful resto. The food was so delicious, and the beverages were wonderful. We ordered the george burger, rodeo burger, salads, and fish & chips. All of them were mouthwatering. The meat was fresh and the battered fish was so tasty. Love the chips as the sides & enjoyed them with mug rootbeer. The staffs were so friendly and helpful. There were clean restrooms. Plenty tables so you wouldn't need to wait to be seated.

Great place to eat, great patio, selection of cocktails

Great food, great service 👍
Abigail Lang
Literally our go to spot for everything. Family meals, date night, brunch… it never misses and the service is always great.
Sean Thompson
Chicken fingers and fries were tasty. Service was friendly and attentive. Outdoor seating was plentiful and not busy on a Saturday night, though it was early summer when students were largely gone and it was extremely hot.

Food was amazing! I'm still bummed I didn't get the chance to have another Beast Burger before leaving town. The breading on the deep fried cheese curds made George's the best of several we tried locally.

Outstanding service! Fun atmosphere! Exceptional food!

George's is our go-to place for Sunday brunch. Every few months they change up the menu to add a few new choices. Good draft beer selection and very nice cocktails.
Busy place but food was so worth it! If you're in CF, you absolutely HAVE to eat here!! The ambiance is great and service is outstanding! Trust me, eat here!!

Good food, good service, and great location. Surrounded by lots of other local spots, this one stands out with his great outdoor patio. Great for families, date night, or just friends. The outdoor space allows dogs so everyone in your family can be out and about.

This place had a great feel to it, and really good staff. They were quick to get us our appetizers after ordering, and checked in on us often enough, but not too much. My wife ordered the braised beef tacos. The beef was great, but it was obvious that the tortillas were straight out of a bag from the grocery store, which was a big turn-off for us. I got the Beast Burger, which was good if you’re into really heavy burgers. I prefer more fresh ingredients on my burgers, and if you’re the same, I’d steer clear of the Beast Burger. I got smashed potatoes as my side, and they were great. Best part of my meal. The cheese curds were great, and the fries were pretty good too. Overall a good dining experience.
