The place was packed when we got there with friendly diners. The service was excellent. We were made to feel very comfortable immediately. The food, wonderful. We tried the Bentley burger which was huge and the Main Street burger which was delicious. The food is typical "bar" food with a little flair. Reasonably priced and a good variety. Looking at the plates around us, everything looked delicious. I suggest making the road trip to Garden Grove IA and checking out The Stag. You can make a weekend of it and stay in one of the inns rooms for the night.

I'm so glad we thought to order them AFTER our meals came, or I would've eaten the humongous pile as my meal. Delicious! Chicken Wings: they have "the good ranch" and the wings were really good. Dirty Bird: turkey and bacon sandwich, side of coleslaw. All was good. Personally, this sandwich would be awesome with stuffing on it, like a thanksgiving leftovers sammy! It felt slightly...lacking something, but my aunt liked it so that's all that matters. Rueben (forgot pic until half was gone): very good! Perfectly toasted marble rye, french fries piping hot and delicious. Once the fries and Rueben were delivered, that's when we realized we forgot to order the onion rings and ordered those as well. Sirloin & Baked Potato (forgot pic until halfway through my baked potato ): delicious! However, I'm a total sucker for baked potatoes, lots of butter and sour cream. Also, I was so enthralled with the onion rings, I really didn't touch the steak beyond tasting one bite. I did bring it home for my lunch today! So again...let's talk about these amazing onion rings! I love large, hand-battered onion rings, not a huge fan of shoestrings. These hit every mark in my book, and were 100% worth the 45min drive! ‍‍Service was excellent, highly recommend! Sometimes it's just nice to go for a little drive, which we appear to be doing more of lately! All for $75, plus $25 tip was an awesome meal for $100. Very affordable and top quality.

They treated everyone like a regular and made me feel welcome. The food was diner delicious as you would expect. Looking at the plates around me, I was kinda sad I didn't try the cinnamon roll pancakes. Good thing they are just right down the street for another visit. The tables were buzzing with happy chatter and the feel is of a much smaller place. Homey and inviting. It's worth a quick jump off 35 to give them a try. You will leave full and happy.

We were placed in what looked like a separate party room with a few other smaller tables. Service was prompt and polite. Since it was just before noon I chose a lunch option and the rest of the party selected breakfast. I ordered the Italian Grinder and seasoned curly fries. The grinder was a little like spaghetti sauce but had a good flavor. I was given a large portion of fries I was able to share with others. The rest of the party said the breakfast was delicious with no complaints and a few people were not able to eat all the food. This is a nice mom and pop restaurant worth the visit. If we are in the area again for grandpa's birthday we would come back.

The interior was dark, with racing curtains covering the windows. There were two pool tables, a jukebox, and video slots. The bartender was an older man who mostly kept to himself except when talking to the occasional regular who would pass through. He was a nice guy, though. The beer was slightly higher than I expected to pay, $2.25 for a 12oz domestic draw.
