Restaurants in Creston

“Always get the same thing. Since they finally opened up so we can see the meat and what we are getting I will eat there again. When they had theeat covered I was not comfortable ordering tuna and I did get a black olive in my sandwich but didn't know what it was at first and freaked out and threw it away. So thank you for opening it up so we can see what we are getting. Shouldn't have anything to hide.”

“the brisket taco was straight from heaven above.”

“Fun place to be at the right place at the right time only at the Montgomery Street pub.....”

“Love this place….consistent on quality food that is cooked and served with love.”

“Was there on 6/13/25. Everything was A+, excellent. If you live in Creston there is no need to leave town for a steakhouse and if you don't, it's worth the drive.”

“Best Mexican food in the area! Love the steak burrito and a classic margarita! The chicken burrito is a bit spicy and has good flavor. You might have to go up to the bar to order food.”

“We live in Corning but my husband and I go to Mario’s whenever we’re in Creston. We don’t go to Creston often for much so when we don’t have a reason to go there, about once a week, he goes to Mario’s to get me a salad to go. I’m not exaggerating when I say they have the best salad I’ve ever had from a restaurant. I always get the Caesar salad with gyro meat, dressing on the side because it’s so big it takes me a couple of days to finish. I highly recommend!!! 10/10”

“I heartily recommend this bar. I’d come from out of town (and from across the pond) and didn’t know anyone. I’m glad I visited as Debbie was such a kind and entertaining host, and we had a great conversation. I hope to visit again!”

“This was very likely the best Mexican food I have had. Delicious. Staff was great. They could have used an extra waiter or waitress. Place was clean and atmosphere was pleasant.”

“best place in town to eat. hands down. largest menu. food is always prepared well. breakfast at any time. waitresses are friendly and check with you often. prices are comparable to anywhere else if not a little cheaper.”

“We went on a weeknight. Moderately busy.

Pros:
- Pizza was pretty good. The crust wasn't too tough and the toppings stayed in place.
- Dessert pizza was great! Especially the blueberry.
- arcade room was clean and all the machines were in working order. We had fun, even as adults!

Room for improvement:
-The salad bar could have been better. The lettuce available was just hard iceburg lettuce which did not look very inviting.
- The fried chicken was disappointing. Tasted bland like it was boiled and the texture of the chicken was strangely slippery.

Although this is a chain, we have some suggestions as to how Pizza Ranch could ranch it up even more:
1. Uniforms - everyone is in jeans and tshirts but overalls or bandanas and cowboy hats would add to the vibem
2. Music - the music the night we went was generic pop. Maybe play country.
3. Decor - They could go even further. Maybe some murals of old west ranches?”

“Today's serving wasn't so great.
Jiped guacamole on my potato oles nachos. Seemed like every thing was bottom of the pan.
Normally really good
I'm a regular, so disappointed”

“Been eating here since I was a kid. Always a favorite. The Long Island Iced Tea was always the best in the state. Haven't had one since new management, so the test is on. So far all the food has been fabulous.”

“The best Chinese food! I've been eating here for 30 years. My favorite is still the breaded, Princess Chicken. The dark, red sauce is not quite like sweet n sour. It is not spicy even though it says it is spicy on the menu. Meals are cheaper at lunch. The lunch specials come with fried rice and choice of two items: soup, egg roll, or crab rangoon. These are the best egg rolls I've ever eaten. Not too cabagey. At night, they serve white rice. You have to ask for fried. The soup, egg rolls, and crab rangoon come separately.”

“Don't let the negative reviews fool you, this place is wonderful! Open on Christmas Day and our waitress never let out drinks get empty. The crab rangoons were exceptional, best I've had since I was a kid. All of the dishes at the buffet were fresh and steaming when we walked in! The rice was a little heavy on tumeric, but I overall greatly enjoyed the experience. Thank you for being open on Christmas. We will make this a stop every time we're in Creston. Best Chinese food in Southwest Iowa.”

“Out of all the restaurants we have in town, ASE has the best atmosphere, the best food, and the best coffee! Such a great place to host our out-of-town guests.”

“good food and coffee. good place to sit and talk”

“Love the drinks and the atmosphere. My to go spot for drinks now ❤️”

“I was just here yesterday and there didn’t seem to be much staff which is fine with me, I understand! I have no problem with waiting but the barista that was working the front/ window and was taking orders did an AMAZING job. You could tell she was under pressure but she handled it well! I love coming here feeling welcomed and greeted with a smile, and happy people! Definitely my favorite place to get coffee from! 🥰 and my dog enjoys the pup cups SOOO much!”
