I am honestly just shocked that this place is still in business. The staff/management was extremely rude and disrespectful. There are several other places in the area with much better service!

Stopped in with family (5) on a Friday evening for a meal. Did not have a reservation and was told there was a wait, which we completely understood. What happened from there I have no idea and cannot explain? We thought we would sit at the bar and have a drink before dinner but that seemed to upset the bartender/owner to the point that he was very rude. I understand the service industry and the stress of being busy but this behavior was unexplainable, unprovoked, and uncalled for.

Dyersville's superbly refined hometown supperclub.delicious drinks and food. Chicken, shrimp, steaks, prime rib and delightful sides make this place a must. Judge by the number of locals who stop in. Great cozy atmosphere with friendly longtime staffing give this place an edge. Enjoy.

The Ritz is a solid throwback to a more simple time and vintage Iowa supper club dining. Good eats, good drinks, good service, and just enough atmosphere to transcend time to its 1948 opening. The Ritz is an absolute must for quality dining in Northeast Iowa. It's the Ritz. Not the Glitz. Don't expect ostentatious, fancy, trendy, or hipster presentations, just regionally up-a-notch traditional dining in the shadow of The Basilica St. Francis Xavier. The Ritz offers an impressive fare of meats, fish, seafoods, along with excellent sides and appetizers. They provide an excellent offering of sandwiches as well for a more casual plating. Gotta love the old style full bar. The house specialty is a Southern Comfort Old Fashioned. Martinis and classic call drinks add to the festivities. Each dinner entree comes with homemade soup, salad, and potato choices. A full coursing long lost in most contemporary restaurants. Their homemade soups are awesome. Steaks are perfectly char grilled to your desired temperature, and the fish and seafood equally ideal! All you can eat shrimp on Friday nights and prime rib Saturdays are standing traditions that give real meaning to standing traditions. The Ritz offers the best cheesecake West of a New York deli. On a busy night the Ritz is loud and the wait staff hustle without a break or loss of their awesome hospitality. I have no idea how they get so much properly prepared food out of a small kitchen without skipping a beat. On a quiet night just hanging out at the bar is priceless time. I think that Dan the bartender might be a wanted Renaissance Man chilling undercover at the Ritz. The crowd tends to be on the older side. Thank goodness the young folks haven't figured out what a great experience there is in classic supper club dining and mobbed the place! That inappropriate snarkiness aside, all are welcome and well served by a dining experience at the Ritz. In addition to it being a great and nostalgic culinary experience, keeping this family owned treasure in business for another generation is just one more reason to bring the family, stop in, and make the Ritz one of your regional favorites.
