“This was a great stop on a 1,000 mile road trip. Easy to get to off the interstate and only option we could find find that wasn’t either fast food or fried bar food, but with fresh, classic options.
Clean, a bit upscale on atmosphere but we felt fine there being casually dressed. Service was great and food delicious!
If we’re ever in the area again, we’ll be back!“

“We were in town for a baseball tournament, and were told by a local to check out EdithLucielle’s, and we were pleased we did. We enjoyed buffalo and dry rub wings that were crisped on the outside with deliciously moist meat inside. Every menu item is fresh, not frozen or zapped in a microwave. Our server, Zoey, was energetic and delightful from start to finish. We met the owner, Eric, and learned the story behind the restaurant’s creation. Not only is the food good, but the restaurant is like no other. Bring your phone so you can take pics and make memories.“

“Great spot down by the Cedar River. I am a big fan of Czech Pilsners and insisted we make time for a lunch and a beer there. What a great time; chatted it up with the locals and the bartender on an early Friday afternoon. I ordered the goulash and dumplings and my darling ordered a pork tenderloin. Both were great but hers was exceptional. Solid selection of Czech beers, Czechvar being my favorite. Reasonable tab for food and drinks and a nice friendly visit with locals to boot in an authentic old-school tavern. If you visit be sure to have them point out how high the flood waters got in the 2008 downpours.“

I went up and asked for some ketchup that we had been waiting for about 15 minutes. 3 out of 7 in our party had finished their meals. The manager was nasty to me stating "We are Busy" He did get it but by then the sandwhich wasn't good.“
