It's been around since 1965, and had somehow escaped my attention since I started coming the the Iowa Great Lakes over 40 years ago. Forbes also has a substantial selection of beer and wine, along with some tempting baked goods (near the front counter). The butcher counter is in the back, and it didn't take long for Gayle and I to pick out a few thick and tempting top sirloin steaks (along with some seasoning). You do pay a little more here, but we really felt that we were in good hands. We also stopped by a nearby parked truck and bought some sweet corn from a local farmer. With that, plus some salad fixings and a charcoal BBQ, we were set for a delicious outdoor Iowa meal on what turned out to be a glorious summer evening. However, the steak turned out to be a little tough. Maybe a marinade step would have helped. All the same, we were a bit disappointed considering the price paid and the high previous praise. Maybe we'll have better luck next time with a similar cut or maybe some bacon wrapped fillets. On the other hand, we had some amazing burgers with their ground beef the next evening.

All four times I've eaten here I have enjoyed my food and I thought it tasty. In the past I ordered the fish tacos and i really liked them. Today, I tried the smokehouse smash burger. It was very tasty and I would order it again. The second beer I had today was a dark lager, Schell's Cave, it's aged in Buffalo Trace and New Riff bourbon barrels (10% ABV). I liked the beer, it kind of reminded me of Modelo Negro. This is a great place for lunch. I usually go during the week and it's not very busy. Nice clean restaurant and it's attached to the liquor store so you can get your shopping done after your lunch. Great place to stop by and eat or buy your alcohol. Outdoor seating as well.

Service is always great as well - very friendly staff. Can't go wrong with the nachos to start - great assortment of toppings and larger serving than most places. Ordered the BLT as my meal during my last visit and was pleasantly surprised. More filling than anticipated due to a healthy serving of bacon. The garlic aioli made the sandwich and the Breadico bread was delicious - crispy on the outside but still softer once you bite into it. Fries are solid and well seasoned. Great local place, I'd recommend to any visiting or looking for a unique drink and better than average bar food!
