Iowa Buffet has been on my Yelp Bookmarks, for many years and I've finally visited. Let me begin by…read moretelling you it is definitely not in Iowa. It's not even on Iowa Avenue, it's at the corner of Iowa and Winnebago. Also, it's not a buffet. Its name is all a lie. What it truly is, is a diehard dive bar. If Bette Davis walked in she'd say, "What a dump." The decor is totally tacky and that is part of its charm. Another part of its charm is the welcoming atmosphere. When we entered not only did the bartender say, but so did a couple of the guest already seated at the bar. When reading the menu for your first time, you'll be shocked at low-low prices. Our plan was to have cheeseburgers and fries, but once we saw the pricing, we added wings as an appetizer. We had our wings, plain with Bleu Cheese for dipping. We received 6 pieces, 3 flats and 3 drums. I like it when the chicken pieces are the same quantity. They were super crispy and seasoned with only pepper and salt. I built my own cheeseburger. As my cheese, I chose Pepper Jack and added raw onion and jalapeños as garnishes. To make it perfect, all I had to add was ketchup and mustard. My dining partner enjoyed a Hank Burger, but changed the cheese from American to Pepper Jack. We both gave our burgers a thumbs up. Our adult beverage was Vodka and Club Soda. When the bartender brought us our drinks, at first we thought they were glasses of water. Yep, the cocktails were made in huge water glasses and they were strong. It's exactly what I'd expect from a dive bar. If you're on a tight budget and want to out, head over to Iowa Buffet for a budget friendly fun time. Good food and strong cocktails on the cheap.

We tried this place and it reminded me of an Italian trattoria. I was pleased to order the spaghetti and my husband ordered the beef ravioli. I've known good Italian cuisine many times, but this place was good in the effect that it felt as if we walked into some Italian grandma's home and asked for her to feed us. The sauce was authentically made with tiny bits of fresh tomatoes in it. Truly delicious sauce, with decent but large meatballs. The ambience was loud and noisy. The service was very slow, and we played second fiddle to larger parties.

Our server was friendly and once we ordered we didn't wait long for our food. I got the avocado toast (with perfectly cooked eggs atop each piece) which was good but I didn't care for the potatoes or turkey sausage. I should've ordered regular sausage. Darn. My friends loved the slinger. And cheesy grits were very tasty too. One of nice things about the breakfast here is all the options for toast and sides. But you have to make sure you specify which side you want or they choose for you. Good experience overall but not sure I would rush back there. Breakfast is a pretty easy meal to find. IMO. :-)

I come here regularly…read more Pros: -Good prices -Great breakfast -Great food in general (for dine in) -Nice outdoor patio (now with a heated section for winter) -Friendly, long term staff. -Open early in the day -Live music (also see cons) Cons: -Service is variable; sometimes it's excellent, sometimes no one knows who has your table and you sit for a while, sometimes the kitchen is crazy backed up. -The live music inside is so loud you can't hear yourself. Don't come here to have conversation on ac Saturday evening. -Smallish indoor seating area. -Takeout has become less than desirable. It's hard to get someone to answer the phone. Last take out we got, we sat at the bar waiting for an hour and were forgotten about even after asking if it's done. It was handed to us in a bag sideways. It was cold, and everything had slid to one side of the container, making a mess. The take out used to be more organized. I know it seems like more cons than pros here, but I don't want that to dissuade you from checking it out. It's a place we put in our Airbnb recommendations. Overall decent place, but they have their off days.

Best time to go is when the weather is nice out so you can catch the gorgeous sunset.

They do offer flatbreads too. Although the inside is somewhat small they have lots of outdoor seating. They must do something to control for mosquitoes because we didn't get a single bite while sitting out watching sunset. Whew!
