“My hometown bar I grew up in and love. Great service and good food. But God damn the prices to eat, have a couple drinks, and leave a decent tip are God damn outrageous. Doubt I'll be back anytime soon. I don't know how people can even afford to go there.“

“I've past by this on the way to Menards for too many years. Today I did it and not just me invited friends and fam to the event of going to Jonsey's. What have I been doing not going here more often?
Wow. Everyone was full at the end. My teenager especially remarked he was full so that's a testament.
Because he's gluten free they put his pulled pork in a real bowl and served it to him. The fries had a wonderful flavor and great seasonings. We got the mushrooms too. Mmm. Great! And of course the tenderloin! Wow. It was amazing! I got the small this time. I'm debating getting the large next time.
Nice simple but clean environment. Friendly service.“

“Great spot down by the Cedar River. I am a big fan of Czech Pilsners and insisted we make time for a lunch and a beer there. What a great time; chatted it up with the locals and the bartender on an early Friday afternoon. I ordered the goulash and dumplings and my darling ordered a pork tenderloin. Both were great but hers was exceptional. Solid selection of Czech beers, Czechvar being my favorite. Reasonable tab for food and drinks and a nice friendly visit with locals to boot in an authentic old-school tavern. If you visit be sure to have them point out how high the flood waters got in the 2008 downpours.“

“They say the best way to a man's heart is through food—am I about to marry the owner? No. But I will say this: it’s hands down the best meal I’ve had in the U.S. so far. The way the spices harmonise with the meat is a masterpiece, letting the natural flavours shine while the spices create a symphony of aromas that’s pure heaven.“

“My daughter and I got invited out to dinner with my parents, niece, and nephew. While out for dinner, my daughter who is 5 and Autistic started displaying that she was overstimulated and was screaming and as most would call "throwing a tantrum". Several had looked and I told my nephew that just because my kid has Autism doesn't mean that she should have to be excluded from going out because of her disability. When I felt like I was becoming overwhelmed, a young man who was either a server or bused tables stopped by my table and told me completely understood how I felt because he too had a 5 year old Autistic son and discussed the whole difficulty having to wait to have his son diagnosed. To hear him discuss this with me and make me feel a lot calmer and as if I wasn't doing anything wrong and shouldn't be ashamed of taking my child out was really amazing. Our server was also very polite about the situation. I know several would have told me that I had to calm my child or leave, but this young lady stayed calm and kept her cool. I wish I had got both their names, but they definitely showed me how kind humanity really is. Both really deserve a raise and the server definitely deserved the $10 tip we left her.“

The manager was nasty to me stating "We are Busy" He did get it but by then the sandwhich wasn't good.“
