Such delicious food! The steak melts in your mouth. Everything we ordered was fresh and tasty. Prices are low and the quality is high. Great service as well! Glad we found this place!

Brent and his staff opened the Palms, prepared, served, our family and friends a delicious meal for our Mother’s funeral luncheon. I can not thank them enough for catering this meal and knowing I could depend on them for great food and service. Thanks again. I appreciated all your staff did for my family that day. Jacqueline!

I brought my family here (2 adults and 2 four year olds) for a weeknight dinner. We waited an hour and 25 minutes to even get salads and then an additional 15 minutes for a soup. Once our food came out I could not eat my soup due to being so salty, my partner and I did not eat our food, and my daughters ham on her ham and cheese was cold. My chicken was dry and hard, sausage did not have any flavor, and tasted chill. Almost 2 hours (got there at 5:55pm and leaving now at 7:51pm) and $46 later leaving extremely unhappy. I try to support small and this is one visit that will never get my business again

We waited about 10 minutes before we were asked what we wanted to drink. My boyfriend got a Pabst 3 months out of date. He asked for a Busch when it was replaced- let me remind you this is iowa the capital of Busch beer and they didn't have any. He settled for a budweissr and was in a way taunted asking about the date and if it was any good... and then came our food. Another insult to iowa our ranch was runny wouldn't stay on our food. We asked for boxes and left. 0/5 stars if it was an option.

There was a price discrepancy but it was promptly taken care of. The prime rib was excellent as well as the rest of the food. service was also amazing. Definitely recommend!

Still certainly NOT what it was many years ago. Stay with what they're known for, don't order an "Italian" meal. Last night I ordered Seafood Portofino and got Fettuccini Alfredo with two shrimp and four small scallops and had to ask for angel hair, otherwise they serve it with linguine. If I had wanted Fettuccini Alfredo I would have ordered it, it was on the menu. I ate it but should have sent it back. The sticky pasty junk is still a rock in my stomach at 10:00 this morning. My wife enjoyed her trout....

Attended a birthday dinner for a friend and our waitress went above and beyond with decorating and providing service to an excited large group of ladies! Samantha Morris was so on point with the whole evening, she's easily the best waitress I have ever encountered! A true asset to your restaurant, she was attentive and so friendly all evening. she really made it for the group!

Our service was excellent our waitress Anessa was on her “A game” she was very alert and served us quickly. Our food was decently portioned and we all left happy and full. Will definitely be going back!

I used to stop here all the time while traveling from Saint Louis up the river to La Crosse on business while calling on every smokestack along the way. Anyway, I am now retired and my last stop was five or so years ago. The food then was good and I always sat at the bar. Locals, consisting of men dining alone, and of course traveling business folks dining solitary were my dining companions.My trips were always during the week, so the place to me, was more of a Supper Club on the weekends and scaled down salad bar during the week. The place reminded me of a Supper Club right out of Madmen. It was something you would never find in anyplace other than in "the land time forgot".I would like to get back someday. I hope the food is still good as ever.
