Doesn't look like much for ambience, but the tenderloins (grilled and fried) and the meatloaf dinner were excellent. The SLAB of meatloaf was amazing and was accompanied by mashed potatoes with rich dark brown gravy (Thursday special) and green beans. Worth a return visit.

Came in to eat took 25 minutes to be talked to. People that came in after us got served before us. Then told us it will take 25 minutes to make a cheeseburger. How dose it take that long. I drove 2 hours to eat there and it will never happen again. Worst waist of my time.

Very nice old style bar type atmosphere. The food was fantastically plentiful, and service, as well. The restaurant is small, but it allows for more personal attention.

Can't go to Ottumwa without stopping by the Recover Room for a tenderloin. Thick white meat breaded enough for a crisp crunch served on a bun gently hanging over. Served up with french fries that are crisp right from the fryer.Thank you, crew, for never disappointing us from our drive down fromDes Moines.

A Hometown everything. This place was decent but became sneaky good overnight. I'll be returning anytime I'm back around.
