Spencer, Iowa…read more During fair season we were looking for a nice place to eat. This was recommended so we went. Very busy place at 8 pm on a Saturday night. Many large parties but we were only two, so we waited only 10 minutes. Dining room has many tables with nice low back chairs. They are pleather with a soft cushion. A few tables line the walls with booths/chairs combo. The downside are the black paper napkins. I wish they were cloth. The menu is broad from salads to hamburgers and of course seafood and steak. Each entree comes with a side salad and choice of side. You can select from french fries, mashed potatoes, baked potato, mac & cheese, and more. The salad is nothing more than spinach mixed with iceberg two cherry tomatoes, and one slice of cucumber. They come in a chilled aluminum bowl. Hate eating out of aluminum. They should consider changing that to chilled plates such as those at the salad bar. The dinner rolls come in a basket with a napkin, prepackaged butter, and a side of what look to be cinnamon butter. I ordered the fisherman's platter which had fried shrimp, fried clam strips, and fried cod. I chose to have mac & cheese as my side. The cod was excellent. Thick, moist, and cooked to perfection. The shrimp were butterflied. Both the shrimp and the clam strips were inconsistently cooked. Some were done and others were soggy batter. The macaroni and cheese had a light creamy white sauce. It tasted fine, but didn't have any exceptional flavor. My husband ordered the prime rib. It sits on a bed of au jus. He really liked that idea instead of having to dip it. He said the meat tasted very good. He ordered a baked potato with his meal. I ordered a raspberry shanty beer with my meal. It was a draft beer. Very refreshing, very delicious! Our waitress was kind. Did not know much about the menu and had to keep asking questions from the kitchen. That is not a problem for me, and better to check than be wrong. The entire wait staff seems to hurry, and I often saw them running. I appreciate the willing to get things done and their quickness, However, I am certain they can be much more efficient without running toward the kitchen. Be aware if you pay by credit card there is a fee to do so. Try and bring cash so you don't incur that extra cost. I would for certain come back to this restaurant. I give this restaurant 4.5 stars.

In my younger days, I always went to Malarky's for a night out but never eaten there. I was back in…read morenorthwest Iowa for a weekend, and so my mom and I decided to go, since we'd both heard how good the food was. We got there about 7 pm on Friday night and it was reasonably busy, though most people were already eating. There were several open tables, but only a few were clean, so we found one and sat. Things started off well enough--the server was friendly, told us about the specials, and brought us each a water right away. We ordered our food, and I had ordered mine without onion, as well as a salad. The order took a while--which again, Friday night, somewhat busy, so that's ok. When the food arrived, it was not good. My entree had tons of onion, and even though I removed them, it still tasted very onion-y, as something covered in grilled onions tends to be. It was also not hot, at all, and my fries were not hot as well. My mom had fish with hash browns, and her fish was somewhat warm, but hash browns were not. Not sure how long our food sat after being done, but obviously quite a while. My salad, which arrived at the same time as our meal, had no dressing, and we needed to flag down our server to get it, as she never stopped back at our table to check on us. I ended up not eating most of my entree and just eating the salad. We were very disappointed as we had been really looking forward to the meal, and I feel like if the food would have been prepared correctly--and served hot--it could have been great. Unfortunately, I don't think we will take the chance again.
