Hi-Lo Restaurant & Catering LLC

Normally I would private message the management, but their facebook page does not have the option. We are not into public bashing of a place of business. We were seated and brought menus and water. Then our waitress Mattie walked by and said I will be right with you, 4 times she walked by and said I will be right with you. So now we have been there close to a 1/2 hour and have not ordered. Ordered our food and an appetizer. Pork bites for an appetizer. My wife ordered chicken cordon blue. I ordered a rib eye. Then we waited and waited and waited and waited. No appetizer ever came. Our waitress Mattie never put in the order. When our food did arrive. The grilled asparagus was not grilled and was barely warm and raw. My wife’s meal was very delicious. The mashed potatoes were top notch and her chicken was done to perfection. My steak was ordered medium. It came medium well, almost no pink. It tasted like the lid fell off of the seasoning container. I like the taste of a good steak. No steak sauce, no seasoning whatsoever. Just a really good steak. This steak was so bad, I could not eat it. I kept thinking it would get better as I got to the middle. Nope worse and worse. The waitress finally came back to check on us and drop our bill off. I told her about the terrible steak. She went to talk to manager. The when she came back she squatted down, as if she was talking to a child and needed to get to my level. The she offered a new steak that we could take home or free dessert. Beginning to end, a terrible experience and having a waitress that was not good at her job made it worse. I can not imagine they serve all their steaks with that much salt / seasoning on them. To top it off, this was our first time eating here. It was our 28th wedding anniversary on the 28th of June. We will help you to never receive a bad review from us again. We will not eat at the Hi Lo Club again.

There’s no restaurant better in the Iowa Great Lakes area ..five stars all the way!!!

We absolutely LOVE this place! Amazing food and amazing atmosphere! Highly highly recommend!!♥️

First was the limo ride from my hotel to the restaurant. Driver was prompt and courteous. The hostesses were sweet. The bartender was on point with drinks and menu options. The food was OUTSTANDING! My compliments to the chef! 😉 The Speak Easy was fun with a beautiful mural and a waterfall. Highly recommend!

Food, service, drinks and atmosphere are second to none. If you are in the area, you'd be foolish not to make reservations. One-of-a-kind gem!!

Food, ambiance, and service were top notch. Will definitely be visiting again. Worth the drive!

The owner is not a good dude I can't stand him or his businesses in Lakefield

So great to have this wonderful establishment back open! We had a wonderful dinner experience. The Pear Pressure cocktail is a must.

Great date night with my wife. We shared a Cesar salad, both got a steak and had dessert. Lots of left overs. Food was fantastic and loved the atmosphere. Recommend you get a reservation. We will definitely go back.
