Hadn't stopped at Dave's for a couple of years, and they sure didn't disappoint. The food was excellent, the service great and the cafe atmosphere was perfect for visiting with high school friends!!

This place is so cool, C.W. McCall sang some songs about this place. Pretty awsome. To bad Mavis doesn't work there, she had it together

We stopped in yesterday afternoon for a bite on our way to Woodbine. I parked on the E Main side and entered through 1st Street. There were a few folks sitting at tables and booths. We picked the open booth near the back. Our server was busy preparing a salad bar for the evening crowd; but happily greeted us. Prices on the menu were a surprise. My cheeseburger was only $5.50. The young lady took our orders to the kitchen somewhere not visible and returned to her prep work. I'll be honest: The joint is not very clean. I can't be certain; but our table showed evidence of not having been thoroughly wiped off for some time. I observed food particles, napkin remnant, and flies persistent and numerous. The salad bar kiosk's cooling vents were something to behold. We were still going to give them a chance, because we don't fancy ourselves as prima donnas; and we were hungry. We had already driven many miles without breakfast. We hadn't said a word or openly frowned "out loud"; but, a gal from the kitchen area just matter of factly walked over and laid a fly swatter on the table (which was useful). After waiting for a bit, I sauntered over to locate a restroom and sink. It was down a short narrow hall to the bar end of the building with an exit/entrance to E Main. What a surprise!! Well lit, comparitively expansive with clean tables and an invitingly sanitary atomosphere. I asked the server in this room if we could have our meal in the bar location, which is how our meal time played out. Crystal was now our "waitress". She was delightful : Sharing her insights about the town and making certain all went well with our experience. The food was delicious! The fries were beer battered and fantastic. My wife's grilled cheese hit the spot. We washed it down with a couple O' cans of Coke and paid cash. The bill came to just over 16 bucks!! Dave's OHC will not take credit cards; but we had enough cash. If you want a great grill meal for a decent price; GO in the bar side and ask for Crystal.

Small town cafe located approx between Council Bluffs and Sioux City. Good motorcycle roads in this area of the Loess Hills. Breakfast served until 11:00. I had double cheeseburger for lunch. Heads up: no credit cards. (ATM nearby to get cash).

Parking: Plenty of parking on the street.

The food was great! I couldn’t eat it all sorry ? Kind lady thank you for serving us. ❤️

The food is all large including the hashbrowns and eggs. Make sure to at least start with a smaller portion and see how you feel. I couldn’t eat it all. ?

Kid-friendliness: Noticed they have a karaoke machine and crayons and papers for the kids to be entertained.

This is a must stop if you are in Iowa near Pisgah. We will plan a motorcycle ride just to have lunch here. Burgers are outstanding. Prices are good. It’s one of those small town, hole in the wall places that is family owned and takes pride in the food.
