Gate City is definitely one of the better restaurants, not only in Keokuk but surrounding towns! We don't have a lot of options out here so when Gate City opened up, we were excited. They have a full buffet for $24.99, soup & salad bar for $12.99, and anything on the menu if you don't want the buffet. We love the fries catfish, mashed potatoes, green beans, fried shrimp, and all you can eat prime rib on Sundays! Can't beat the price. They also have a variety of soups and a full salad bar which is very fresh, as well as a variety of breakfast items -- love their French toast. But the customer service is what sets them apart -- shoutout to Nikita and Cindy for being the best servers! They are so attentive and friendly. Nikita also makes all of their cheesecakes which are so delicious!! Especially their Strawberry, Apple, Key Lime, and Turtle cheesecakes. Yum! We hear that people will travel to dine at this buffet so check them out if you're in the area. read more

Standard salad bar but homemade dressings and the homemade soups were great. Got beef amd noodles soup. All the sandwiches are on house made bread and portions were generous. The BLT is like two sandwiches, fries were planks amd really good, they would let you substitute a cup of soup. read more

Since we first visited in August, we have been back several times! The food and desserts are fantastic, with every item on the menu made from scratch. The buffet on Fri & Sat has SOOOOO much! There are choices of 4 soups, several fish and chicken options, sides of all kinds, rolls or bread, and generally there are the options of prime rib, ham, roast beef (my favorite there!), and ribs for about $23. It's HUGE and very reasonable for the variety and quality of the food offered. Menu dining is also delicious. The burgers are perfection, club sandwich (toasted) is incredible. That's all I know about, so far, because the buffet is pretty irresistable. I've not been subject to any bad service. All of the staff I've been exposed to - even in passing - have been friendly and attentive. This is now my favorite restaraunt in the tri-states area. read more

Great food, everything looks fresh, great ambiance and art. We had a roast beef sandwich and cheeseburger and it was excellent! It was really clean and the music was nice, being from Florida it gave me a nice impression of Iowa. read more

Got the soup and salad bar. The salad bar was loaded with fresh vegetables and all the dressings were homemade in house and were delicious. The soups were homemade as well and the butternut squash was mild with a creamy light flavor. We didn't get the buffet with meat and vegetables which is only 5 dollars but there was a large variety of meat and everything was fresh Traveling we were looking for healthy food and so glad to find this place! The server was great as well she was very helpful! read more

This place is a hidden gem! I have no idea how they're serving such high-quality food at such a reasonable price, but I'm not questioning it--just enjoying it. Well worth the 40-minute drive from Quincy, and I'll definitely be telling my friends. From the outside, the restaurant gives off a cozy, family-friendly vibe, but the food is absolutely elevated. We started with the bruschetta, which was almost a meal on its own. Each thick slice of toasted bread was topped with a generous dollop of melted fresh mozzarella--so good! My husband and I had to take half of it home just to save room for our meal. We both ordered steaks. I went with the 9 oz Prime Filet for $40 with two sides. Holy cow--literally. First off, it's rare to find a restaurant serving Prime steak, which is the best you can get outside of Japanese Wagyu. I also got the mushroom cream sauce on the side--partly because I wanted to try it, but also because a great steak shouldn't need sauce. And wow. The steak was perfectly cooked, incredibly flavorful, and melted like butter in my mouth. Then I tried the sauce. I don't know if I can eat steak without it ever again. For sides, I had the grilled asparagus and sautéed vegetables, while my husband went with the steak fries and asparagus. Everything was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. I was completely stuffed... and then I saw the desserts. I have never seen more beautiful desserts in a restaurant. Every single one is made from scratch, and they even take whole cake and cheesecake orders with advance notice (which I will absolutely be doing). I took a video of the dessert case, and our waitress told me it wasn't even looking as good as usual! I went for the strawberries and cream cake, and my husband got the strawberry cheesecake (which he was too full to eat and brought home for the kids). WOW. Just WOW. The service was just as great as the food. Our waitress was super attentive, and the owner/chef even came out to personally greet our table. I've already sent texts to my friends--this is where we're celebrating our next birthdays. I just hope it's not too busy when the secret gets out! read more

Great experience. Highly recommend. My driver Saboor was courteous and a great driver. I felt very safe for the whole ride.

Fantastic for dinner. Lunch fare is mediocre. Great service but we'll stick with dinner there. Oh, and take the gyros and gyro platter off the paper and online menu... since you no longer serve it. read more
