“Worth Brewing is a great little brewery in downtown Northwood IA. Looks like an old bank inside with pieces of buildings from around the old city. They had 13 beers on for my stop including a helles, brown, a Belgian white, Bavarian wheat, American IPA, cream ale, fruited cream ale, fruit beer, coffee stout, oktoberfest, black IPA, Czech pils, and a very good scotch ale. The patrons and the staff were really friendly. I will definitely stop back if I find myself back in the area.”

“We had a party of 15 for dinner Saturday evening and was a first for most. Everyone had only wonderful things to say about everything from the service, food and especially the staff. Very friendly and always a smile on there face, even when we walked out 1 1/2 hours after closing!! 😳. Thank you for a great 60th birthday celebration!!”

“This is my son's favorite place to go! We always, both of us, get the tuna. Say what ypu want, we both love the tuna. This specific time we both wanted to try the new subs. He ordered the boss, how it was made, no substitutes. I ordered the nacho steak and cheese, no substitution. He inhaled his lol I don't even think he tasted it LOL! Mine, it came with some garlic sauce, that i don't recommend. It was over powering and I didn't finish my sandwhich. Other than that, it was delicious. Just a very saucy sub.

We will both be back. And we'll get the tuna again lol”

“Me and my grandparents stop here for lunch on our yearly trip to Des Moines Iowa. The food is decent and the staff are friendly. After a while though the noise of the casino and the cigarette smoke and smell gets to you. I recommend ordering your food and then eating it outside at the rest stop across the parking lot.”

“New menu items are always fun! I had the revamped steak bites, loved them! Adding the sauce, and Bleu cheese crumbles, those were great additions. And also new, the blackened salmon with a side of pasta - it was delicious! Great seasoning, and the salmon was still very juicy and tasty, and the pasta went well. Overall, this was an excellent meal, the bartender was attentive and friendly, as are all the employees there! Will be bank soon”

“The workers and specifically the manager on 03/09/2025 were absolutely amazing. During the rush of lunch- they were able to remake an order that I had mistakenly messed up. They refused a tip and were kind to me until I left. That manager deserves a raise!”

“I've been patronizing this bar for three years now. I'm a hole in the wall bar type of person. I love this place. the bartenders are top notch and so friendly. it doesn't take them long at all to know you and your drink. customers are always friendly and quick with a joke or to laugh with you. I now stop for one beer on my way home from work each night (yes, sometimes more then one), and the bartenders always have my drink open and ready before I even sit down. can't recommend a better place!”
