“In town for a business meeting. Met here for dinner - first time here for dinner. What an excellent experience from the moment we walked in the door. First, the interior of the restaurant has an eclectic awesome vibe. Unique and inviting. Tyrell greeted us and seated our party and ultimately Tyrell was also our server. He did an OUTSTANDING job making recommendations from the menu and checked in on us as needed to refresh drinks, etc. The menu offerings are varied and enticing. Our food was excellent. The whole evening was enjoyable with big kudos going to Tyrell and his team. Thank you! We'll be back!”

“my daughter's decided they needed gift certificates for their teachers Christmas gifts late this year. I contacted KB and even though they were not open for regular business hours they were willing to meet me to get the gift certs. Jayna, and the rest of the crew there are so willing to go above and beyond. Also if you haven't been in and seen the amazing art decor and heard the stories behind them it is a must go just for that alone”

“Our food is always good and we enjoy the different choices on the menu, although when prime rib was offered they were almost always out, except one time they just did not have it sliced. I finally did get a serving of it at long last. Have one complaint...the hostess is almost always in the back and people are waiting to pay, sometimes more than one, and there are several waiting to be seated! On our last visit a group of 6 left because they were tired of waiting!! She should be instructed to be out front almost all of the time! However, the wait staff is very friendly. In fact, we have made good friends with one particular waitress, Staci! We usually look forward to eating a Perkin's! One other thing, it is always too cold in there so we must be sure to take a jacket.”

“GeJos is an absolute MUST for anyone living in or visiting North Iowa and Clear Lake. Their service has remained consistent over the decades, and the team makes you feel like family from the moment you walk in. Their entire menu is truly crave-worthy, but the pizza is a standout—fresh, cheesy, and authentically homemade with a perfect bubbly crust. If you’re unsure what to order, go with the Mile High (savory sausage, cream cheese, and if you like spicy, ask for their famous hot peppers on top)... so good. The Italian margaritas taste like summer—foamy, crisp, and refreshing! Portions are large and filling, but do yourself a favor and take dessert to go. Though summer can get busy, they always do their best to accommodate as many guests as they can. Eating outside on the patio with a view of the lake is a relaxing summer pastime, and dining inside is cozy and inviting too—it never gets old browsing the signatures of famous guests that decorate the walls. It's easy to understand why GeJos Clear Lake is the favorite of so many!”

“The atmosphere is very good. The day that we went the weather was great and you can be seated right on the edge of Clear Lake. That being said my steak bites were served cold. They tasted great but cold steak bites shouldn't happen. My wife's food wasn't cold and tasted pretty good. She had the chicken tenders. She had to ask the server for her honey mustard and I got dipping sauce replaced with garlic aoli when I asked for it in addition to the sauce that came with the steak. In all, I would go there again if we happen to be in the area but I wouldn't make a special trip to go there.”
