“From the moment we walked in, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our big day. The space is absolutely beautiful—modern, elegant, and welcoming. But what really made it special was the incredible team behind it all. The staff -especially Melissa-at The Hotel at Kirkwood went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They were organized, responsive, and genuinely kind throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, everything was flawless—from the setup to the food to the flow of the evening. Our guests were raving about the venue, and we felt so supported every step of the way. If you're looking for a wedding location that combines style, comfort, and top-notch service, we can't recommend The Hotel at Kirkwood enough!“

“I went to Happy Hour for $5.00 appetizers and boy that was a mistake! The chicken tasted old, it was in huge pieces, I found a chicken bone in it too. They probably use left over Rotisserie Chicken for it. I felt sick after eating it too and had to take some antacids. Hy-Vee Market need to use fresh food. I couldn't finish my appetizer. It tasted horrible!“

“First time here, we're going to be back.

This is in the old Mexican restaurant location. It's a great upgrade from that.

Wife ordered the Monti-cristo (however it's spelled) with fries and a drink. Huge sandwich, took half of it home for dinner. She absolutely loved it.

I had the Ruben with fries and a iced tea.

Why are all fries in Iowa these thin shoestring things? Steak fries are wonderful.

Anyway, the Ruben was very good, thick cuts of meat piled high, good crunch on the bread. It held up all the way through, wasn't soggy at all.

Decent price, for the two of us it was around $50 with tip included.

If you're looking for a NE sports bar every seat seems to be facing multiple large TV's.“

“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.“
