8 Best Burger Restaurants in Mason City

“Let’s do this by the numbers- 35- The number of years I’ve been working in restaurants. 20- The number of years my friend has been trying to get me to Mason City to try her favorite hometown restaurant. 4- The number of hours we drove, round trip to finally get me to The Northwestern. No other reason to come to Mason, just this restaurant. 1- The ranking of this filet versus any steak I’ve ever had in a restaurant in my life. Perfectly seasoned, melt in your mouth texture, and prompt, no nonsense service. For the sake of clarity and with no trace of hyperbole: this is the best steak I’ve ever had in a restaurant.“

“They know how to treat customers! We were there recently near closing time and were still eating well after closing. We never felt like we were being rushed to leave as you would in many places. Someone was sweeping up, but he made sure he wasn't near our table. A pet peeve of mine is staff sweeping next to our table while we are eating. Our server took very good care of us with a smile on his face. The food was very good and the portions were large.“

“I live their food! Always have my favorite beer ready for me! Staff is amazing!!!“

“Always great service and food!“

“We had a huge group after a basketball game & the staff was absolutely incredible! The young man that was at the counter was so professional and acted so kind to each child and adult. We got there 30 minutes before they closed the dining area. (No other fast food restaurant is open in our area at that time to accommodate such a large group) They didn’t make us feel like a burden. Very thankful!“

“I love taking my wife out here.
We always come here for our date night away from the babies that we love so much but while we're there all we can think about is our kids because we love them so much.
so we only take one hour out because it's all we can handle.
? LoL bye the way we got 12 kids all together we love kids there so beautifully wonderfully made bye are God Yahauh halleluyah.“

“I had the Chicken Lettuce Wrap and was very satisfied. The lettuce was fresh and crisp, and there was a lot of chicken.

The restaurant is very clean from the dining room to the back kitchen. The restroom felt like a sauna, and I like that very much.
It has wrap around parking lot, which includes two (2) disabled parking spots.

I love the decor, especially the "W" on the island table. There is a variety of seats from benches, islands, tables for 2 or 4 or more, round or square-shaped to a cozy soft chair beside a fireplace screen.

The staff is great - some being friendlier than the rest.

Parking: 2 disabled parking spots“

“I don’t usually write reviews, but this McDonalds deserved a positive one! Food service was quick and the staff were so friendly! The staff went above and beyond to ensure the high chairs and tables were clean. Constantly helping others for a positive experience. I even heard positive remarks from a supervisor to the kitchen workers that they too were doing a great job! Keep it up, you are making a difference!“
