....(continuation from last post)…read more... My friends and I all stood there in shock, the cop never parked or got out of his vehicle that I noticed so we all walked home to where we were staying. I will be speaking to the cops today and giving my report and I will be pursuing to press charges against the drunk bartender who assaulted me. Last but not least!!! My boyfriend and I called MJs today to ask to speak to a manager for the owners phone number to raise awareness to how terrible his business is being run and what happened to us. A female picked up and I asked very very politely if there was a manager to speak to. She said yes hold on. Then got back on the phone and asked for my name, I gave it to her, and she went to get the manager. The "manager" got on the phone and instead of saying "hello, (name) this is the manager" he said "yeah, hello!" I said "hi, I was wondering if I can have the number for the owner, I would like to speak to them" and that's when he said "why, what do you need?" On the phone I calmly said "I need to speak to your owner, can I please have the phone number". That's when he said "about what? Why? Who is this? What's your last name" the professionalism of this "manager" was alarming, he had none. At this point of already asking him why he is being so rude. I said "if you're going to continue being so rude and not give me the number I will look it up another way". He said "okay look it up elsewhere then!" And laughed. This pissed my boyfriend off and that's when he grabbed the phone and had some words with him. The "manager" then screamed "fuck you!" to him and hung up. Like I said I cannot put into words how sad and pathetic this place is being ran. And I will be pursing to press charges against the drunk bartender who assaulted me for absolutely no reason. PLEASE DO YOURSELF A GIGANTIC FAVOR AND DO NOT STEP FOOT INTO THIS PATHETIC BAR!!!!!!!!!!!

If I could give 0 stars I would. By far the absolute worst bar I have ever experienced in my life…read more Wasn't in the bar for more than 5 minutes before my girl friend and I were turned down when we asked for drinks, simply because we were outsiders, not from the area. The extremely rude bartender said last call had already happened, it was 1:20AM on New Years, last call had not happened she just didn't want to serve us. 2 men at the bar told me I could get a drink if I buttoned up my shirt this just shows the type of ppl they are. Respectfully, we just walked away from the bar knowing we were gunna leave soon anyways, until the drunken bartender came up to us and told us we needed to leave, for absolutely no reason. As we were leaving, the drunken bartender continued to follow us out the door and yell at us, again for absolutely no reason, she then proceeded to hit my girl friend across the face and rip her new shirt, she would have kept swinging had I not bear hugged her. VERY PATHETIC AND CHILDISH. Honestly quite sad to see a grown woman act the way she did. I cannot write in words how messed up this place was. Ruined my girlfriend and i's New Years night. Will be talking to the police today in pursuing the drunken bartender who assaulted my girlfriend. Happy New Years

New business in town. Just opened a couple weeks ago and finally got to try it. Very nice job on…read morethe remodel- everything fresh and clean. Lots of seating, tables, booths, and at the bar. Looks like a general selection of booze but noticed a couple of nice bottles of bourbon behind the bar. The beer was cold. Waitress noted they were still a couple weeks away from opening the pizza oven but the menu was great. Lots of appetizers, sandwiches, bar type food. Cheeseburger and fries were both done well and good flavor. Date had chicken tenders and noted they were perfectly cooked, nice crust and generous portion. Will definitely eat there again.

It's often said we are way out in the boondocks and implies somewhere less than where the action is…read morebut not at Boondocks Emporium. Whether you're a local (especially a veteran for whom they encourage folks to buy them a drink), a fan of bison art or just passing through from Des Moines to Dubuque via the Amana Colonies as we were this is one Boondocks worth finding yourself. We had the soup of the day (corned beef and cabbage) can see why it's a favorite and an unbelievably delicious bison burger with sweet potato fries. Patrick was a great server keeping up with the bar and all of us in the restaurant with a great attitude and a big welcoming smile. The place feels just like where you want to be to get to know a bit more about the town. Lots to look at and enjoy.
