My breakfast is going to cost less than $10, with eggs, pancake, oatmeal, and tea. Very basic cafe, with a small town vibe. Quick service and back on the road.

I arrived here at about 20:30 (8:30 pm) shortly after leaving the local precinct caucus at the…read moreCounty Conservation building, Monday 3rd February 2020. They were only going to be open for another half hour or twenty minutes (closing 21:00) and they had no more customers. But they generously welcomed me for a sit-down meal. I was cold and very hungry and had a delicious nighttime breakfast, two eggs over medium, bacon, french fries, toast dripping deliciously with butter, and all I could drink of strong hot coffee. The waiter (a high school student) made a fresh pot for me without complaint. Some outfits make rather weak coffee. Even espresso joints that roast their own sometimes make weak drip coffee. But Family Table's coffee was strong and black. It was great for washing down a hearty meal and it kept me awake for a long nighttime drive to Fort Dodge and then to Des Moines. The waiter saw I was thirsty and put an insulated carafe on my table while I chowed down. Even after closing time (i.e., after 21:00 or 9PM), when I got up to pay, they hospitably talked with me at considerable length. The manager came out from the kitchen and joined the conversation, and he gave advice on how to find my way back to Fort Dodge. And he warned that I must look out for deer while driving through Humboldt. And thank goodness there was no television, no electronic noise, nothing to spoil the homey feel.

Camping outside of Webster City, we always look for a local spot to try when we travel. Tonight,…read morelucky us, it was the Grid Iron. Be prepared to show a little grace, there were a lot of cars turning in there as we came up to it- from the food, I'm guessing they're always busy! My wife chose their mainline burger (no cheese) and house fries. Honestly, I think we could tell how good it was going to be when got out of the car and that awesome charbroil smell overwhelmed us. She loved it. I had the Chipotle Bacon cheeseburger on Texas toast, well done for me (they will prepare to your liking), which is charbroiled, then dunked in their home made bourbon sauce and served with Swiss cheese and jalapeños. The fries have some type of coating that makes them a little crispier and a little tastier. Even if you're cruising up I35, it's worth the detour into WC for a great meal. Plenty of tv's but even with a crowd, you can still have enjoyable conversation at your table. It's no wonder one whole wall is covered with "best of" awards. They deserve them. Bon Appetite!

We drove 45 miles to try the Sunday breakfast buffet and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed every…read moresingle bite and the customer service was fantastic. Our server was friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed the entire time. The biscuits and gravy were a favorite! It's hard to find a good gravy but they nailed it. The options to choose from were great! You had everything from fruit to French toast to mashed potatoes and fried chicken. I can't say enough about the friend chicken! The skin was battered perfectly and it was incredibly crispy while the meat inside was still juicy and delicious. This is some of the best friend chicken we've ever had - hands down!! The only suggestions I would make is #1 get there early because it is a popular place and #2 A 'cook to order' option for the eggs in the buffet would push it over the top. We can't wait to go back!

Best coffee shop in Storm Lake!…read more They have it all: good vibes, yummy drinks, and friendly staff. They even have small conference rooms you can reserve (or just use if they're open) for meetings or work. They're also female owned! They have a standard menu along with a rotating seasonal one. They also have a variety of food options for breakfast and lunch, including many vegan options. It can be hard to come by intentionally made vegan food in this area and the effort is much appreciated. There were some cookies and macarons out when we stopped by as well, the former of which was vegan and gluten free. Who knew such a woke business was tucked away in Storm Lake? They also have a drive thru, but I recommend stopping inside with a friend for a nice morning in town. I tried a mint mocha seasonal drink and the aforementioned vegan oatmeal cookie. Both were great and I would get them again. This is my new go-to coffee shop in Storm Lake and it is absolutely worth a visit.

We called the day before to confirm numbers. When we showed up today, they had us seated at 3 different tables. It was never mentioned we couldn't sit together (even though they had longer tables available.) Someone in my party ordered a beer. They said they didn't serve alcohol, even though the front of the menu proudly stated they had alcohol available. I ordered my sandwich. The waitress asked what side I wanted with it. I told her the menu clearly stated sandwiches were à la carte and didn't come with sides. She pointed to her electronic pad and said it was asking what side I wanted so it must come with it, so I ordered a side. Guess what? I was charged for my side. I didn't want to make waves so I just paid for it, but three strikes and you're out. Food was okay, fries were pretty salty, but the aforementioned items made it an overall disappointing visit.

The initial…read moredraw was the fantastic band Harper and the Midwest Kind, but after only a few minutes inside the bar, we were fans of the venue itself. It was apparent upon arrival that it is a favorite place for locals. (On a Sunday night in the middle of nowhere, the place was pleasantly full) The bartenders are friendly and prompt. Byron himself held a place behind the bar, and as soon as he saw our new faces, he came right over and started a chat. What a nice fellow. It became very apparent he does what he does for the love music, and being able to offer a place for like minded people to come together for great live music. We had a great time. For anyone who loves live music - Byrons Bar is a must; maybe even a pilgrimage. Keep dancing Byron, cheers to you! And your friends from WI will definately be back!
