Food was amazing. Really really great fish. Probably the best I have ever had. However the service not so good. Once our food arrived we never saw our waitress again. We never got refills on our drinks which was tough when the food was so hot. Yet I saw several young people standing around waiting to bus tables. Maybe have them help with drink refills. Many tables were having the same issue. I get you want people in and out to accommodate the waiting patrons but for the price could you at least check on the existing people already eating.

Been coming here for years. They have remodeled the place and looks nice. That's all the good I can say about it after yesterday's visit. When they sat us at our table the floor had coleslaw and other food they had wiped off of table onto floor. I couldn't even be comfortable wondering if I was stepping in it or not. Why not clean it up before you seat the next party? Chicken was not as good as it used to be, seems they have changed something up. I've spent my last money over there. Hope my review helps consumers make informed decision.

Very nice place, clean, modern, and organized. We arrived early so they gave us a buzzer. As soon as the restaurant opened we were seated. Food was good and if you get the all you can eat special you will leave full!

Had the haddock it was very dry. Partner had the rib eye no seasoning , had to remind them about our drinks. Not a good experience after not being there for a few years.

I've been coming here for over 30 years. Nothing more needs to be said. Best known/unknown place in Iowa. If you know, you know. Please be a first timer, or repeat offender. 10 stars all day.

We went Saturday night and had Allison for our server. Worst service I've ever had. She had attitude when getting more fish, tarter, or drinks. Overall, this place has gone downhill for the last couple years as far as quality of food. Not likely to return. It used to be one of our favorites. Sad.

Service was terrible, waitress did not offer any menus or drinks and it seems to be a reoccurring issue when looking as other reviews. Assuming this is the same waitress or a similar policy for all service workers it needs to be changed or she needs to be fired. She was not inviting or pleasant. After asking for menus she came back with only two for a party of 8. I don’t want to jump to conclusions and call the establishment racist, but’s that’s how it seems after my experience and others I’ve read.The food was not the best, the proportions were poor. For the amount and quality, the food is overpriced. Ordered a chicken tender basket, chicken was not anything special and tasted bland. The fries were very, very thin and didn’t task like anything. Overall, horrible experience would not come back. If your party isn’t all Caucasian do not expect to be greeted with very good service.

This a really cool place off the beaten path with an amazing atmosphere where you can be inside or out. Lots of room and great food. We had the special today- all you can eat shrimp, chicken, fries and coleslaw. We ordered a side of catfish- which was good but wasn’t amazing just kinda plain. The shrimp and chicken was great! Coleslaw was really good and I don’t like coleslaw lol. Apparently all you can eat fish on FridayDefinitely will be back when in the area
