I'm not sure what it is about small towns in Iowa having absolutely stellar restaurants, but I have…read morefound another. The Fox Hole in Orange City, IA (pop. 6500) has an unassuming façade on a quiet main street, but the food and cocktails they are putting out is what you would expect from a big city restaurant. They certainly had variety on the menu so I am confident that you will find something you love, but whatever you do start with the cheese curds. I'm not sure what they do to them to make them square or lightly fried and not overly dense, but pair them with the raspberry jam they come with and be prepared. These things are phenomenal. I appreciated that the hummus was seasoned and came with marinated vegetables rather than feeling like it had just been taken out of a tub. The miso glazed salmon with forbidden rice and a crushed cucumber salad was phenomenal. However, the star of the show might've been the oven roasted lamb. It had a reduction with mushrooms and carrots and is served with a potato pavè. I've heard of this technique before, but never had it. They thinly slice Yukon gold potatoes, layering them in a baking pan with cream and herbs before cooling them for more than 12 hours. They then cut them in cubes or bricks like this and fry them. It was delicious and I truly appreciate the effort behind each of their dishes and cocktails. The decor was elevated, but not pretentious and the staff was pretty attentive. I thought the price point of their dishes varied enough that it's not going to break the bank and if you're worried about price, they have a pretty stellar happy hour menu that goes until 6 PM with food and drink options. Whether it's a road trip or the tulip festival, put this restaurant on your list of places to try.

The one thing we were surprised with was - being charged for keychup when we ordered a side order of onion rings ? and also being charged for mayonnaise. I asked if the sauce for the Aji tuna was spicy and she said it was a little bit. I asked if I could have mayonnaise as well. I was surprised to see a charge on the bill, although it was nominal it was still something we had never been charged before.

Seriously, like stepping back in time to the days where you could go to your local steakhouse for a…read morephenomenal meal, friendly service, and a cozy home like atmosphere. Well, look no further. This no-frills steakhouse specializes in dry aged beef, is James Beard award winning, has great cocktails, and still serves you a relish tray while you wait for your meal. For those of you under the age of 35, a relish tray, often consisted of carrots, celery, pickles, and cubed cheddar cheese like this one. They also will bring you some bread and butter if you would like. In my opinion, you should definitely opt for the tenderloin, but I'm not sure there is a bad steak option on the menu. They also have seafood and even sandwich sandwiches including a burger so there's something for everyone! It's family friendly and although the decor will remind you of your grandma's house, no grandparent I have ever met could put out steaks like this. Visit the ice cream capital of the world and make sure to save room for a steak!

A nice place. Service was some of the best I've ever had. Food was solid, but not the best. I will…read moresay that I think it is as good as I expected it to be, but I always hope it'll be better thus I am not leaving a 5-star review. Fried pickles spears with the rock n roll sauce were great. I wouldn't have ordered these except my server recommended them out of all the apps, so I went with that. Fried things at places like this usually lack flavor and are just salty, fried bar food. These had some kick. The rock n roll sauce was like a Mayo with Frito's Chili Cheese Twists, so they were yummy. Tilapia on wild rice was ok, but it's tilapia, so how amazing can it be, right? Broccoli wasn't too over cooked and it still had a healthy green color, so I was happy with that. And the fries were a tad greasy, but they came out hot and crunchy. I think if they let the oil drain off them a bit more under a heat lamp, they'd hold their crispness a bit longer. Oh, and it was an entire plate of fries, so portions were generous. Lastly, everything was served very quickly. The place wasn't super-busy, but it wasn't dead and I was happy about the timeliness. I ordered an app first then placed an order for my entree after munching on that. And I was out done in 45 minutes. Granted, I was eating alone, but still. If you enjoy meat, I highly recommend giving this place a shot. I am a pescatarian (mostly vegetarian) and I have a sneaking suspicion that their beef and chicken options have much more developed flavors.

The fries were good, the reviews with 3 stars are pretty spot on. I came in on a Wednesday night, the restaurant was reasonably busy, I asked for the Birria nachos, and a side of fries. The nachos were ironically dry, the cheese hardened in seconds to the construction paper under, there was no flavor which I tried to help with more cheese dip (didn't work). The server came over and asked how I was enjoying it, (I'd eaten less than 6 nachos at this point) I said "it's unappetizing, I can't eat this, I'm sorry, it's just not very good" She took the plate, but made me pay for a terrible dish. That was hardly eaten. I tried to make it appetizing in order to eat it and not waste it, but 2 chips from there I was done. I finished the fries and left hungry. You have A LOT OF INEXPERIENCED SERVICE PEOPLE HERE. I did not see a single adult in the restaurant. No one of age to run the staff, check on food, check on customers, run plates, or help with the over all atmosphere. This is why the customer service is suspect, they don't want to pay to have a competent adult running the place. It's "small town good" but not for anyone from somewhere with much better places available. (The prices were a tad high for the lack of ability to create worth while dishes.)
