“Wow—Viking Ice Cream completely blew me away! Every time I’ve gone, the staff (all super young!) get my order spot-on and somehow make it look effortless. What’s shocking is how much fun they’re clearly having—smiling, laughing, hustling—and the energy of the place is contagious. The flavors are endless, and I’ve made butter pecan my go-to when I’m here visiting from New York with family and friends. The outdoor tables are perfect for enjoying it, but let me warn you: the size of ice cream they stack on a cone is massive—you better eat fast before it topples! Absolutely awesome spot with parking and easy walk up.”

“Great place to hangout, great people”

“I finally got lucky and had time to stop into this donut shop. Used to live nearby and will be moving back sometime.These are the absolute best donuts I have ever had. The frosting was so delicious and you could tell made out of such quality ingredients. I couldn’t even believe it. This place is truly a diamond in the rough. Super friendly owner also. Can’t say enough good about this place.”

“Cancun by the lake is amazing and I have never had a bad meal there nor in Cancun in Mason City, prior. Raul treats my family like his family, and I have never had better service in any restaurant, ever!!”

“An amazing place, amazing service and amazing food!”

“Excellent food and the staff was exceptionally friendly on a very busy night! We recommend the ribeye and the Torsk, it was a great combo with hashbrowns on the side. Can't wait to go back!”

“Our food is always good and we enjoy the different choices on the menu, although when prime rib was offered they were almost always out, except one time they just did not have it sliced. I finally did get a serving of it at long last. Have one complaint...the hostess is almost always in the back and people are waiting to pay, sometimes more than one, and there are several waiting to be seated! On our last visit a group of 6 left because they were tired of waiting!! She should be instructed to be out front almost all of the time! However, the wait staff is very friendly. In fact, we have made good friends with one particular waitress, Staci! We usually look forward to eating a Perkin's! One other thing, it is always too cold in there so we must be sure to take a jacket.”

“Our food was good, not anything I couldn't make at home, had I been there. The interior could use updating but nothing terrible. If you want good home style cooking go here.”

“We have been to the Clear Lake and Rockwell locations!!! We love the ice cream and the staff is great. Clear Lake's addition of the hot dogs is great too. We tried one with cream cheese and it was really good. Thanks for the great service and the variety of flavors.”

“We were heading home to NE IA from western Iowa coming through Clear Lake. Googled for restaurants looking for a good pizza joint. They nailed it! My bf & I both loved our individual choices, prices were great, and the main gal behind the counter running the show was a hoot! If we ever come back through, we will definitely stop again!”

“Came back after having a bad experience with past staff and loved this experience. The staff was great. The food didn't take long to come out and was piping hot. :) Definitely will be coming back in the future”

“In town for a business meeting. Met here for dinner - first time here for dinner. What an excellent experience from the moment we walked in the door. First, the interior of the restaurant has an eclectic awesome vibe. Unique and inviting. Tyrell greeted us and seated our party and ultimately Tyrell was also our server. He did an OUTSTANDING job making recommendations from the menu and checked in on us as needed to refresh drinks, etc. The menu offerings are varied and enticing. Our food was excellent. The whole evening was enjoyable with big kudos going to Tyrell and his team. Thank you! We'll be back!”

“This was our first time in Clear Lake. What a treat!! We knew this restaurant was THE spot for us. Lindsey was spectacular as well as the rest of the staff. So friendly and accommodating, great wine and menu suggestions. The escargot was superb! Our steak was cooked perfectly (medium rare is our preference). We took our dessert to go - wow! Off the charts!! This may have been our first visit to Clear Lake, but not our last. The Surfside will be our #1 go to for the most amazing meal and experience.”
