“Fantastic place for lunch or dinner. Great food at reasonable prices. Always good specials as well.“

“This restaurant notified us, after we ordered online for delivery, that they believed our driver took our order. They called to tell us that before we even had a chance to believe there was a problem, and fully communicated what the issue was. They remade our order and it was delivered less than a half hour after they discovered the issue. Superior customer service. Highly recommend.“

“Love dining near the food was great! Great service server was Shannon and she was very attentive always came back and checked on us kept our drinks filled! Would definitely recommend this place food and service was great thanks Shannon“

“Had a pickup order, had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, food was ready very fast and was one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. One small gripe is I wish it had a little more of the hot oil.“

“I DO NOT RECOMMEND!! It appears they have their do no recommend set so that your post cannot publish. Called this morning to let the staff know we were going with a group of 12 and they said that would not be a problem. In an hour our group received water and a drink order placed but never got it. The same server continued to wait on other tables, make drinks for other tables and made no effort or hurry to make ours or come back to take our order. In addition, the bartender continued to walk around and socialize rather than makes drinks. We even wrote down our whole order and patiently waited for her to come back to make it easy for her. This is the second that we have attempted to come to your establishment with the same results.“

“It's a nice little neighborhood sports bar! Food is delicious and the staff has always been absolutely the best.

Kid-friendliness: The staff has always been so good with my daughter who loves to chit chat about what's going on with her and they are so warm and welcoming.“

“Went tonight for steak night! Best steak I've ever had! TJ on the grill was the absolute BEST! He definitely knows what he's doing! Will definitely be back! Great food, great drinks and great atmosphere!“

“My son and I had a great time!!! The staff was amazing and food was perfect! 🐻 Down!!!!“

“I love this bar and I appreciate that they have gluten free options.“

“You want a dive bar that is also clean? This is it. Damn friendly staff and patrons. I go there periodically for a beer. They had a birthday party for a regular. Tons of food. I knew no one but several people came up to me and told me to partake in the goods.“

“This place has been a home away from home. NO other bar compares for a place for respite and a moment away from the hectic American lifestyle that is constantly thrown at us from everywhere! They embrace every need and meet you where you want to be. By chatting at the table or reading the room to give you space. And the food is on point every single time, whether an appetizer or meal with the family the food is always fully enjoyed and appreciated leaving everyone satisfied and happy to relax and enjoy the rest of the day! This is the place to be!!!“

“I would highly recommend Caffereys! It does not only have great service, but it is a neighborhood bar that you can meet so many wonderful people! The staff is wonderful especially Marcy, Taylor and Kristin! This is like a second home for me. Regards, Shane“

“My lunch today at Saints Pub in Waukee, with two dear friends, was truly wonderful. My blackened salmon was tender and fabulous, and our server, Gerardo, was very helpful and attentive. Being able to relax on the patio on such a beautiful day was the cherry on top. We'll definitely be back!“

“Love it here, everyone that works here is so nice!“

“Very amazing family night tonight! We had a family of 9 and they got us in to eat right away, great food, great prices, fun for all! Bowling prices were also very reasonable! Will be back soon! Thank you to the amazing team!“

“Yanci was excellent ! Drinks were awesome and food was delicious and came so fast!“

“Great little place. Definitely for the Cubs fans. Great variety of bomb drinks. I had the Capri sun and that's exactly what it tasted like. Black cherry rum with an orange monster Delicious. Bartender was great, friendly and helpful. Will be going back when we are in town again.“

“Olivia was great and deserves a pay raise“

“Great place to grab a beer and food with friends and coworkers.“

“Ate here a couple of weeks back on a Friday night. Have experienced bad service and mediocre food from other locations, decided to give Applebee's one more shot. Did not disappoint. From the fresh salad to the entree, everything was great. Will definitely be back.“

“It has to have the friendliest bar tenders, bar owners anywhere. Great place just to hang out with friends and family to have a few and relax or party. Love the staff.“

“The owner is an absolute saint, he is so nice and a great human being! However, the bartender Megan Hampton is honestly the worst human being I’ve ever met in my life. She was rude to me the second I walked into the bar, then she screamed at me, I went to another bar, and the bartender said Megan did the exact same thing to her and her boyfriend. She openly talks about using cocaine and other inappropriate talk around the bar. She is single-handedly ruining the reputation and good name of Poncho. If you don’t believe me, sit at the bar when Megan is working and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about.“

“They've really tried to change in the last 5 years or so. They offer daily special meals like steak night (mondays) and taco night (tuesdays). The steaks are legit some of the best I've ever had. Served with very well seasoned grilled onions and mushrooms.

Always great service. Small hometown feel. Love it!

They could improve the beer and liquor offerings. Very limited and no taps.“

“The staff & the regulars are super friendly. The bartenders remember my name & what I like to drink. Sometimes I don't even have to ask. 😁 This is a great place to go hang with friends or by yourself. If you do go in by yourself, it won't be long before someone strikes up a conversation.“

“😌It would be nice if they honored the Triv prizes.“

“Great bar!! Best HAWKEYE bar!!“

“Great service and the band was really good!“

“Great place to go for any kind of night out. Good drinks and even better service.
However; I noticed the tablets you pay on only offer up to 5% suggested tip. I’m hoping this is a mistake overlooked by management bc their servers deserve those numbers to say 18%, 20%, and 22%“

“Great food and service! Great place to watch a game. Better than average food and TV’s everywhere“

“I’ve been a Star Bar patron for over a decade.

From a location for seemingly every group happy hour, political get to know ya, or just because social time, it’s been here. It’s not the destination for nearly as many group events, but it still rocks for a laid back, casual evening with friends. The bathrooms are clean, the taps rotate with the season, and the food is consistently good.

The only 2 downsides I’ve found are:
- they used to host far more small musical acts. that’s gone by the way side. I’m unsure if whoever booked/managed lost interest or small bands don’t want to play here, but I came more often when that occurred.
- FREE THE GOAT CHEESE. The blackened chicken Philly and goat cheese with roasted peppers and garlic appetizer have left the menu. Those 2 dishes were simple, yet superbly done. Idk who decided they were too basic for the new age, but they are incorrect. (Hint: ask if the kitchen will make you the Philly. If certain folks are on, they might indulge your desire for the smoky, cheesy goodness between that hoagie roll).“

“friendly CHEERS ATMOSPHERE.... jyst updated their food menu as well! great place to watch Football!!“

“Took my mom and brother here on Friday to try to cheer my brother up after a bad day and our waitress Dey did just that and more! She had an AMAZING attitude, was very attentive to our table, never did a drink go low and she just had the best vibe I’ve ever experienced while eating out. She even offered a drink to go, just going above and beyond with her service. If you go here make sure to ask for Dey, she’ll make your experience worth while!!“

“Spent Father’s Day here. We played games for 4 hours with the unlimited pass. Had a great time & really enjoyed the time & the atmosphere.
Kingston in the ticket redemption place was phenomenal & made a lasting impression on us & our experience.“

“I ordered A cup of soup and a side salad. I was told that the soup was a brothy soup and wouldn't have any type of thickener in it. Since I'm gluten free, that's what I needed. Unfortunately, when the cup of soup came it was not brothy. It was a thick soup. One of the people that I was with ordered some type of salmon I believe it was, it was so spicy she couldn't eat it. I didn't think the food was anything fantastic. The service was good in the atmosphere was good.“
