It is rare to be genuinely impressed with the quality of to-go food at a sports bar/gastro pub. This meal was fantastic!
Buffalo chicken Rangoon = fire! Amazing flavor/texture. Was perfect.
My wife had the pork tenderloin sandwich with macaroni (& cheese) and loved it.
My main was the surf and turf rice bowl and I have to say it is the best rice bowl I’ve had in a very long time, even from places much more expensive. No joke - this place exceeded...

As others have pointed out, the only downfall for this restaurant is the noise; the music is turned up incredibly loudly at dinner, and you can't really hear anything (you'll be yelling into the waitresses poor ear for her to be able to hear your order). However, the food is marvelous; they have one of the best Ahi Tuna sandwiches I have eaten in Iowa, and their fries are delicious. We usually sit on the rooftop or outside to get away from the noise as much as we can.

Great service and environment but the food was mediocre at best. Looked and sounded amazing on menu but actual dish wasn't good. Maybe they need to simplify their menu and just be what they are, a sports bar.
