Was seated by a very nice individual and was given a menu and asked what I would like to drink. I ordered the prime rib, medium rare more towards rare. It's a queen size is what it goes by on the menu you get the salad bar and a type of potato that you want. I ordered the mashed potatoes with garlic . I had the raspberry tea, so I went to the salad bar, which was very well stocked and looked very enticing. Everything was very good off the salad bar that I enjoyed. Before I was finished with my salads my entree arrived. The prime rib was cooked to perfection it came with au jus and horseradish. The Prime Rib was very high-quality very good tasting beef, the au jus was very tasty not too much sodium and enhanced the prime rib. The potatoes were remarkable. Very tasty. Just the right amount of garlic needed. My waiter was Bre She did a fantastic job so I was very pleased with this outing even though I had to drive almost 2 hours to get to this establishment in McGregor I would go back and take some friends along so they can enjoy it also in the future.

The tilapia was very flaky and the homemade tartar sauce was great! The "chips" seemed homemade and the ranch was delicious with them. Drinks were spot on as well.

The Spillway is awesome. Halfway between nowhere and the back of beyond along the Mississippi River…read morein far Northeast Iowa lies the very small historic town of Harpers Ferry, where fishing and hunting isn't a sport, it's been a way of life since the beginning of time. And today, we discovered a timeless rural supper club. Read that; 'Bar and Amazing Grill & Pizza Joint'. The Spillway is a destination worthy of a national tour of local greats proving that home town beats big town every time. We passed by this place for years traveling on the Iowa side of the Mississippi between Lansing and Marquette. Then we see that the Spillway is a top five finalist in the Iowa Pork Producers annual best Iowa Pork Tenderloin sandwich competition. Well, what do you do? You go see for yourself, obviously. And Spillway is a major contender. Now, where to begin: The Spillway atmosphere is magnificent. Awesomeness as only a dark old river bar can be. You know you have struck rural gold when you walk into a dimly lit tavern and see over 25 trophy buck deer head mounts on the walls. If eating at the bar isn't your thing, the other side of the place is a well lit dining room of the kind you only find in this region. Nothing fancy, but sufficiently functional to host the Pope to one of the best tenderloin sandwiches in Iowa. We tried both the traditional breaded, and the no-breading grilled with various condiments. I'm a purist. Breaded, generous onions, dill pickles, and yellow mustard. My wife goes for grilled. But, we had the ultimate judge with us. My 92 year old mother. She is a breaded, tomato, lettuce, no onions, person. We all loved our sandwiches. Yes, Spillway is a righteous competitor for the 2023 Iowa title. Mom says hers was the most tender and flavorful pork she has had in ages. And Mom is picky: well earned in her centennial decade. Spillway breading is a light golden crispy crust that reminded me of a really well done tempura, fried to tenderloin sandwich perfection. The onion rings were equally perfect, as were the bar standard crinkle fries. I congratulate Spillway in leaving off the salt. Us older folks appreciate the lower sodium standard. Many thanks. Beyond our target tenderloin lunch today, Spillway's menu is something I'll return to explore. Especially the burgers and that awesome looking thin crust pizza. Could be a national pizza destination too, but needs further research! Value? Just look at the menu picture. Enough said. While I can be as much a beer snob as anyone, spending stupidly for a so-called craft beer, Spillway wins the day. $1.50 PBR long necks. That's VALUE. Say what you want about PBR, but it's one of America's oldest beers and what was good for my great granddad is good for me. Just go with the place and the rare moment gracing you when you find your way to Spillway.
