Holy wow. This place was incredible. As first timers in Iowa, we weren't sure where to eat and what…read moreeven was available for a handful of vegetarians - but this place was IT and then some. We went on May 21st, and we were greeted by 2 men at 8:40 pm. They let us know the buffet was closing shortly but essentially implied "take as much as you can since we throw out everything at the end of the night anyways" so WE DID (as you can see from our plates. And we were FULL after a 10.5 hour drive, but then they brought out a custom made veggie pizza which we DEVOURED. An incredible experience for something we thought was a "mom & pop" shop for how nice the host was but happy to find out it's a chain that exists in our home state!

We are so glad we did. The atmosphere is a dicey but very clean and the vibe looks like a great time. It was a quiet afternoon but the ladies went out of their way to make us feel like we belonged. This visit was only for a couple of cocktails but we saw some food come from the kitchen and it looked on point! Kara made a tasty treat and shared it with some of at the bar and that sealed the deal! We will be back in to give it a shot. I will update my review on the food after that! See you soon!

In a change from a year ago, it's just white rice and no egg roll included with this dish. The Mongolian beef wasn't as flavorful as we remembered it. The portion was large and we were able to bring home quite a bit. Adding soy sauce did add flavor to it. The egg rolls were good. I love their hot mustard.

Be prepared to show a little grace, there were a lot of cars turning in there as we came up to it- from the food, I'm guessing they're always busy! My wife chose their mainline burger (no cheese) and house fries. Honestly, I think we could tell how good it was going to be when got out of the car and that awesome charbroil smell overwhelmed us. She loved it. I had the Chipotle Bacon cheeseburger on Texas toast, well done for me (they will prepare to your liking), which is charbroiled, then dunked in their home made bourbon sauce and served with Swiss cheese and jalapeños. The fries have some type of coating that makes them a little crispier and a little tastier. Even if you're cruising up I35, it's worth the detour into WC for a great meal. Plenty of tv's but even with a crowd, you can still have enjoyable conversation at your table. It's no wonder one whole wall is covered with "best of" awards. They deserve them. Bon Appetite!

They're quite consistent as well, making sure the wings are done the same way almost every single time. Every now and then, the fries are a little different, but nothing to complain about in my opinion. We tend to opt for the boneless wings, and they're typically really juicy. Also, the cheese fries are absolutely delicious! Their ranch is by far the best out there as well. Service: Our order is almost always ready quickly; sometimes by the time we arrive even, and we only live about ten minutes away. We order online, and they have gotten it right every time. The staff tends to be a little...cold? For lack of a better term. They aren't mean, but you're also not greeted with a smile when you walk in. Ambiance: It's a pretty typical sports-centered restaurant. Not too many decorations or intimate seating styles. They do keep it clean, which is a huge plus. The overall noise level varies, but it never seems to be obnoxiously loud.
