I was disappointed in our visit today. I called weeks ago to ask if we could make a reservation for…read morea party of 10. I was assured that it wouldn't be a problem. 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.

I stay in Algona on business every 8 weeks or so and this place is a must. The food is always…read moregreat! Like the Baja chicken and salad bar. One thing that is out of this world is their homemade soup (especially tomato basil). I travel around the US and eat at all kinds of great places, this soup has not been matched. It's crazy, right in little Algona. Service is always solid as well. Go enjoy a nice meal at this place.

Disclaimer: I was the only person there when I arrived on a Tuesday evening…read more I was in the area for work and stopped here for dinner and I was very pleasantly surprised by this place. It has the quintessential downtown bar and grill with weathered small town elements - deep and narrow store front, hardwood flooring, neon signs, large tap selection. I ordered the Billie Jo burger medium rare, and it was the best burger I've had in a long time. Toppings were fresh, cold, and crisp, fries were piping hot. Top notch!

Always a good time. Call ahead and make sure they are serving food! But whenever the grill is open…read moreit's worth a stop. My fav is the weird combo Fourth of July burger which is exactly what you love about summer. Baked beans, potato chips, hot dogs, and a hamburger it's enough for two meals and I always have leftovers! My friend got the crab Rangoon something also was yummy! It's a bar so it's dark and chill. Everyone's friendly and it's always clean.

Waitress sat us at table and other waitress would be with us. Same waitress sat with customer who walked in 10.min later and took her order while we were not even approached by anyone after being seated. Another couple was seated and then requested to be moved to another section of the resturant due to being cold. We waited another another 15 min and decided to leave as no one had approached to even offen drinks. Seemed that the waitresses had some hostility towards eachother. I hope they get it together as I was highly disappointed as I was looking foward to their prime rib.

This casino you do not want to go to if you are colored because they discriminate on your skin…read morecolor. You will not be able to win jackpot $10,000 not even $2000 if you are colored. Many colored people have been going there, and their name has not been called For promotions or get any money that is $2000 and up if you can even get $2000. Most of the time I can only get $50 and if your color your tier will drop quickly as you got it. If you're not colored regardless, how many times you come there you'll always keep your tier And you'll always sit down and start running bonuses and jackpot. I do not recommend any colored people. Any color people go to this casino. This includes Hispanics Africans Micronesian and Black people.
