Restaurants near Charter Oak

“Recently had our 40th class reunion and Mel was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING through the entire process. The food, the service, the employees, they were all very accommodating to us. We highly recommend the pork chop and red potatoes. Small town service you don’t get in the big city. Worth a stop in Charter Oak to enjoy.”

“Since the new owners took over, I've been there 4 times now. Very impressed with the service, staff, and food. The last 2 times have been with my kids. Michael, Jess, Rich, Natasha excellent Service. But Rachel is killing it in the kitchen! Place is usually packed, not long wait time, food is excellent, staff is extremely friendly and service is excellent. If you're 45-60 minutes from Dow City, a must try! The Sirloin is my favorite. Lot of good places in western Iowa, but feel blessed to have this 8 miles from home. Thank you to everyone that works hard to deliver a very pleasant experience at this establishment. Highly recommend!!!”

“This is not a restaurant; it's a mini mart that serves God Father's pizza ingredients. It's then assembled and baked in the eatery part of the store.This establishment called Ampride, used to be a fun gathering of community members, swapping farm news and tall tales. Maybe they still are, but not when I dine and dash. Most days are from 7to 7.I've been asked to update, so here it is. One of the employees does more than the quantity of other things clerks are asked to do. ( this is just my opinion; I have never heard anyone grumble about working conditions). She makes this addictive dessert called Monkey Bread. I recently bought 2 containers of this fantastic treat. I tried freezing one of them, hoping to curb my addiction. It didn't work. I'm fishing them out of my freezer, one by one; crunching down on them through the evening, almost cracking a molar. I am not an overweight woman, but I will be if I continue this habit.I am not including this clerk and dessert chef's name because I didn't clear it with her. Hey, it's a small town.

Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome, and I've seen some employees are friendly with children.”
