Fantastic Fish, and a beautiful view of the Lake

Anna Zoromski-Linde

Waitress was attentive but the kitchen staff did not have their timing right. Our son’s food came out first. Quesadilla. It was supposed to be cheese and it had chicken. Then my husband and I received our sides. Then my fish came out. Two other entrees took at least another 10 minutes plus the quesadilla to be made again. It was odd.Old fashions are wonderful but the view was the best part of the evening. Loved seeing the mill pond and the muskrat swim around while we waited. Not sure we’d be back for another fish fry.

If your looking for a good fish fry look no further. We have been traveling around trying different fish Fry's throughout the area and most say this has been the best so far. The beer battered haddock had a lite breading and the flavor was awesome. The portion size is also really good, I ordered the 3 piece and could not finish it all. Everyone complimented how good the food was. We arrived around 5:30pm and was lucky enough to slip right into a table. The bar area is not the biggest so either plan on going early or waiting in the bar area. Overall they did a great job and we will definitely be back.

My husband came home tonight with their special which was prime rib sandwiches. It was the worse sandwich we have ever had. There was more fat than meat. The bottom was so soggy we couldn't pick it up. So we tried to cut it in half but because of all the fat we couldn't. Don't recommend this sandwich to anyone.

Great cocktail seved by Morgan . Good food. But them poor waitresses getting chewed out for the long wait on food. The place was busy and of course almost any where go now days with good food you will wait up to a hour to eat. Was there on 9 1 23 and was not impressed with a group of ladies the way they were treating the waitress. Get some real problems people.

Friday fish fry is downright succulent! Saturday prime rib is tasty. The bands and the garage are an experience you'll not find in many small towns. Great establishment to support!

My favorite place to dance in Iola! Great food and the service is good. Sometimes it gets a bit busy so the wait is longer, but the music is fun so it's not a problem!

The food was great and the only reason I didn't give service a 10 was it was so busy over the dinner hour that the waitresses had trouble giving great coverage. But that wasn't their fault! The food was great and we really appreciated the live band in the garage while it rained! Great show with Stone Cold Country!Vegetarian options: Great veggie pizza and appetizers!Parking: Lots close byWheelchair accessibility: Yes!
