“We always stop to enjoy dinner at the Half Moon when we're back in town. The homemade salad dressings are delicious, especially the ranch!”

“I’ve been here twice now and have had such a great experience both times! I always try to stop now when I go to Clear Lake or Mason City! The staff is super friendly and it’s just a great and welcoming environment to come into!!”

“Great bar! You can definitely tell when management understands what customers want in a night out.”

“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!”

“Always a good time, bartenders are fantastic our local hangout!! 🙂”

“A summer tradition! Fantasticly large cones and good ice cream. Would be nice if they offered a kids size option though. (And I don't mean a cone as large as a kid! 😉)”

“Friendly, cozy brewery. Excellent beers!”

“We were on a road trip through town looking for lunch and thought this restaurant sounded better than the fast food restaurants in the area - and we were not disappointed! I called and ordered takeout 20 minutes away, and everything was ready and hot when we arrived.

The gal who helped us was very friendly and even offered us ice and drinks to go since it was 90 degrees out. They had a large bathroom that was clean and had a baby changing table. We also used the grassy area by the parking lot to let our dogs stretch their legs.

We ordered 2 sandwiches with fries for only $20 and everything was delicious. It’s also right off the freeway so there was no major detour. You can’t beat that!”

“Great staff, service, good times!”

“vegetarian options are pretty good. the ice tea is different, in a good way, pretty unique to what I'm used to. I really enjoyed the tofu and rice. the texture was delightful and springy. generally a big fan. would suggest my friends to try it too.”

“Cancun by the lake is amazing and I have never had a bad meal there nor in Cancun in Mason City, prior. Raul treats my family like his family, and I have never had better service in any restaurant, ever!!”

“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.”

“Highly recommend! Delicious food, dessert and Excellent service!”

“Food is great, pizza, burgers, fried chicken! Beers are very cold! Highly recommend”

“Delicious pizza, wonderful, friendly service. Worth the stop!!”

“Great place to hangout, great people”

“We had just eaten so we didn't try any food. Next time we will. I had a great Jalapeño margarita and experienced great service. We sat on the rooftop overlooking Clear Lake. Awesome place!”

“This place is an amazing space. Basketball court, pool table, couches, tables, a huge kitchen with a huge island. I hosted my sister's bachelor party here and was pleasantly surprised by all of the amenities and the size.”

“We were heading home to NE IA from western Iowa coming through Clear Lake. Googled for restaurants looking for a good pizza joint. They nailed it! My bf & I both loved our individual choices, prices were great, and the main gal behind the counter running the show was a hoot! If we ever come back through, we will definitely stop again!”

“The custom made cake was exactly I want it to be”

“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”

“I love the roast beef gyro I order it everything I go to Clear Lake store I called the store to find out the price and the lady I talked to was very nice. This time the gyro was better the ever I not sure why maybe it was fresher I dont know but they good everything but keep up the good work. I think the lady said her name was Ann just wanted say thank for the great gyro!”

“It was great good food enjoy it”

“Honestly, this is probably the best subway I have been too. Every time I stop to grab a sub I leave thinking to myself that this might be the best sub I have had. Keep it up!”

“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!”

“Big thank you to the ladies working tn in Clearlake for making my hungry baby a bottle!!!!! We highly appreciate it and don’t even get a chance to tip!! Bless your hearts🥰❤️”

“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.”
