    I had to travel for work on a Sunday, which I typically try to avoid. I searched local restaurants…read moreand saw this one, and decided to give it a try. Small town asian restaurants tend to be either really good or really bad, with very little in between. When I go to an Asian buffet type restaurant, I am not expecting the greatest quality, just comfort foods like general Tso's chicken, crab Rangoons, and some white rice at a reasonable price. This place exceeded my expectations. Each of the items in the buffet that I tried tasted fresh, not like it had been sitting under a warming lamp for two hours. The chicken meat (both white and dark) was high quality, no bits of gristle or other unchewable stuff that I often find at lower quality restaurants. The crab Rangoons were really good. Even the rice was very good, not having that dried out texture that it can sometimes get when it sits in a steamer pot for too long. The sushi was also surprisingly good. I never set my expectations high for buffet sushi, but I keep the bar even lower at small town restaurants that serve sushi. I mean, who expects decent sushi at a small town Iowa buffet? It was surprisingly tasty, even if the selection was limited to only one roll type item. My only gripe is that it was kind of dark inside, in spite of the windows being unobstructed and the sun being out. It's kind of a pet peeve of mine, but buffets really should portray a clean and bright environment to emphasize that they are high caliber restaurants. Buffets tend to be viewed as dark, dirty places, and I always encourage proprietors to upgrade their lighting to make their restaurants appear cleaner and more inviting. Aside from the lighting, this place solidly impressed me. For a small town Iowa buffet, it was very good.

    I placed a to-go order and arrived to find the parking lot about half full, which gave me hope that…read morethe food would be good. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Upon entering, I approached the cashier, who neither greeted me nor offered a closing statement such as "Thank you" or "Have a good day." I ordered the General Tso's combination plate and a side of beef lo mein. The General Tso's chicken lacked any spiciness, and the yellow fried rice was disappointing--almost inedible, despite my usual love for rice. The beef lo mein was mediocre at best, reminiscent of cafeteria or hospital food. Sadly, I will not be returning.

    Soul food from SweetiePie!! Cafeteria style seating. Very large. I chose fish and chicken with…read morecoleslaw and Mac/cheese. They are not big on seasoning which is fine by me as I limit my salt intake. The fish fried to absolute perfection. Chicken was juicy which is hard to find in most restaurants. Mac could use more mixed in cheese vs just on top but good. Coleslaw was outstanding. Yes, the lemonade is great. Different varieties available. The menu I found to be difficult to understand. It had to be broken down for me. Service was outstanding by the owner, kind lady. Plenty of parking, strip mall. I would definitely go again if ever passing through.

    Sugapeach is everything you want in a local gem. A cozy,…read morefamily-run soul food spot that's bursting with love, flavor, and personality. The space is cute and roomy enough to enjoy your food without feeling crammed--and trust me, you'll want to savor every bite. I had the fried chicken and catfish plate and thought the chicken was unbeatable. Crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The catfish was solid too, but I'd come back for the chicken alone. The sides? Generous portions and all the comfort you could want--just don't argue over them (or do, I won't judge). Now let me put you on to the real star of the show: the peach lemonade. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best I've ever had. Sweet, refreshing, and dangerously addictive. The staff makes the experience even better--friendly, warm, and genuinely funny. It's the kind of place that makes you feel like family even if it's your first time. Go here. Support them. Bring friends. Leave full and happy.
