Customer service is well done here. The employees seem to have strong values when it comes to serving and handling problems. I accidentally ordered at the wrong location and they remade the food for me. Thank you.

Having never before eaten here thought I would stop by. I see by the banner on building out front this restaurant is one of ten burger joints in the running for Best burger in Iowa 2026. In my opinion this place didn't disappoint. It was pleasantly served and was very slowly and thoroughly enjoyed. The burger in question was The Conquistador burger. Angus beef with a large variety of toppings. Pepper jack cheese, bacon, sweet BBQ sauce, and fresh pickles. All served on a Brioche bun. Piled high. It arrived with a steak knife so you can easily slice it. Onion rings also are included as a topping. My choice of beverage and happily chose a Pepsi. It took me awhile to eat this. A beautiful melody of flavor and deliciousness. This burger has it all. This restaurant prides itself on using only the freshest ingredients available. That also means this place isn't cheap. But it was well worth it. They offer a nice variety of menu items. One of which is their homemade cinnamon rolls. I chose to dine inside at their Mt Vernon road location. Found out they also have a bigger location off Blairsferry road now too. Place I ate only has a few parking spots in the back. Nice atmosphere. Staff willing and able to help you navigate their extensive delicious menu.
All very friendly and helpful. In my opinion this place is great.

Had Salsa Guy today for the first time today and I will absolutely be back. We ordered two jumbo cinnamon rolls, the biscuits and gravy and the ham breakfast sandwich. 10/10 on everything.

As a frequent out of town visitor this is one of my go to spots each time…sometimes twice! The food is amazing on its own: I love the alfalfa sandwich. BUT it is the staff, hello Justin that makes this place come alive. The awareness and the service is unmatched to be honest. And then there is the eye candy that is on the back line , hello Cedrix Hope I got that spelling right. There is nothing not to love about this place! Go visit them today and everyday! Support small business! See you all soon!

First time visiting the other night and it was absolutely AMAZING food. The steak burrito smothered and the chicken sandwich were both amazing. The staff was extremely friendly as well. Very small establishment on Mt Vernon Rd, but whether you eat in or take it to-go, it will 100% be worth it!

Perfect for a date night, or a “shopping day” meal. The Conquistador Chicken sandwich is my favorite. We’ve been here several times lately and it always is excellent! This local small business is top of the list for my family.

Ordered a burrito, it was ok. Probably a 6/10 for a burrito, the part that disappointed me was that I went to “salsa guy” paid an overpriced $14 for a small/medium burrito and didn’t receive any salsa with it lol. That was very disappointing. If I wanted salsa I had to buy a whole bottle which who knows how much that costs or how it tastes. And they pressured me to pay even more by paying a tip for the cooks. Nothing against the cooks but the food is already over priced plus tip I’d be going out of there with a $20 bill for a simple; sandwich, burrito, burger etc.. Nonetheless, the burrito was ok, overpriced, and received no salsa for my burrito from salsa guy.
