Extremely rude staff. Staff will complain and gossip about customers behind their back. My order was 15 minutes late and missing a side of ranch. When I had asked for an extra ranch cup the manager threw it at me and it got all over my shirt. I also saw the cook blow his nose and touch my burger without washing his hands. The food was ok.

Absolutely horrible! This place was recommended to us as we were camping in the area. My husband and I both ordered their walleye special and when it arrived we each took one bite and only one bite as it was horrible. It looked like they had taken fish from the freezer that was freezer burnt and threw it in oil. It even looked disgusting! When we politely mentioned it to our waitress (who was also very rude and acted like everything was a burden to her ) she acted like we were crazy. Told us they serve over 40 lbs a week and this fish had just came in on Thursday ( this was Friday). Then she proceeded to tell us she would give us a togo box! No apologies nothing!! We had to pay over $50 for fish we didn’t eat! ( This did include an appetizer and a couple nonalcoholic drinks but still outrageous!) I will never go back and I will tell anyone I know who is going near here to stay clear of this place!

I ordered here alot, since moving to town and I go off the prices they have in the photos online because I do Togo. They charged me 19.50 for the loaded hash with 1 extra egg. And online the picture shows 10 dollars for the full order. It's false advertising and it's ridiculous. My mom called for me to bring it to there attention and the lady was rude and it was the owner herself. Banned from there now but I don't even care won't waste my money there anymore. They need to either remove the photos or do something because if I would have known that was the price I wouldn't have ordered it.

We are far from prejudice or racist. It clearly states on our front window no party busses allowed, without prior authorization. The sign has been up for over 5 years. When a bus full of minors pulls up and wants to use our restroom, steal things, break things and try to get served they will always be asked to leave! We appreciate all the good reviews! But if there is an issue of how things were handled. Please contact us directly so we may address it accordingly.

Insanely racist to our group. We walked in and were immediately shunned out. Don’t go here if you are a person of color.

Worst bar in Iowa. Horrible crowd and kicked us out for using the restroom. Dont recommend.

Saw a YouTube video about their pork tenderloin which tempted me to visit. I called my order ahead and it was done on time with perfection. I highly recommend the cheese curds, none of them made it home. We promised to just eat a few but it got out of control FAST.
Also, When I walked into the bar- it smelled freakin amazing! The cook was making a roast for the next day. I was automatically ravenous. She, (cook/ bartender/ awesome lady, was very friendly and inviting. I will definitely be back again.
I swear, I've lived in the area for a decade and never knew about these small town diners/establishments that knock out some dope food.
The price was most agreeable for the amount of food ordered

We love riding the Rolling Prarie trail and stopping at Pete and Shorty's. Friendly staff, great food and cold beer. This establishment has been open a long time for a good reason.
