I was immediately greeted by a young hostess who was happy to find me a table, but I said I'd find a spot at the bar. I was immediately greeted by Sophia who handed me a beer list and was happy to pour a sample. That's nice service to start out with. She checked in but was never overbearing. A+. Their unique 60/40 beef/bacon burgers caught my eye...mine had cheese sauce, tons of bacon, and bacon jam. You can only have these cooked medium well or well done; for a burger I feel that's acceptable. Sandwich components were all delightful...the beer battered fries have a nice smooth coating and the house made ranch was the thinner variety was a great complement too. I'll kip the pretzel bun next time; I didn't find it to be a great complement to the components on the burger. I felt too many taps had crappy mass-produced domestics for the squares out there. I highly recommend the Mason City Cream Ale. Wish they sold their glasses! Credit cards have a 2.99% service fee. Thankfully, debit cards have no fee...which is the law. Not many places follow this procedure.

It's very similar to the flavor of a jalapeño popper (without the bacon, cream cheese, or the heat). They have a modest sized parking lot that is a one-way. We sat at the bar and both had sandwiches. I ordered a burger but subbed out the beef patty for a chicken breast. The chicken breast was seasoned and juicy, but it actually made the American cheese on my sandwich a little too slippery. Better than the alternative, though! I would eat here again, but I might try something different next time. The menu wasn't super large, but they had enough apps, sandwiches, and burgers to choose from.

Not normally the type to leave a review, but as a former chef and smash burger lover i had to try…read moreout there menu items. Got the classic Cosmic Smash Burger and a large fry. The lines were long which is either a good sign or a bad sign. The chef looked like he mostly knew what he was doing, and he was very courteous when taking my order. Unfortunately his cooks didn't look like they knew what was up. The burger was smashed well, the cosmic sauce was good, not a huge fan of diced raw onions on a burger, (should be thin rings,) but overall the burger was good. Only complaint on the burger itself was the, "brioche bun," which I saw came in grocery packs. That's gotta kill his food cost, and will yield a much lower quality than if he were to get something like Rotella buns. The only real complaint though, the hand cut fries. I could see he had an employee cutting the potatoes shortly before they were fried, huge mistake! Good french fries need to be soaked (pro tip: do 50/50 vinegar and water plus some salt so the fries absorb more moisture,) then par cooked. Either a lower temp deep fry, or covered in oil and oven baked. Once they are par cooked they can be cooled in big tubs, then when the fries are ready to be cooked the cook time will be even more than half the time it took them. The employee he had frying the fries had the oil temperature lower than 300 F, he then told her to crank the heat up which was good but it was too late. The oil needs to be 350-375, with lower temperatures the inside of the fry was over cooked and mushy by time the outside got any kind of browning and they didn't even crisp up. If you do the proper prep work, your pick up time will be so much faster and will yield a much better French fry. I decided to leave this review because I really want them to succeed, it looks like they just need some quality training for their cooks and a few changes to properly prepare their food. Best of luck.

They had a lot of fun entree options, but It was lunch, so we just decided to split a few appetizers. We got the beef nachos and breaded mushrooms. The breaded mushrooms were actually really good, good quality of mushrooms (portobello), big, and homemade breading. The nachos were plentiful, but just okay. The chips were definitely not homemade and the beef was just a bit dry, I've definitely had better, but it was loaded with a nice amount of toppings and the salsa was good. Both were tons of food for us to split and be full to continue our journey home. Our server was attentive and even offered to accommodate my friends' light diet request despite us not going that route.

The steaks are ridiculously tender, juicy and seasoned so simply that the flavor of the meat does all the talking. You can even cut it with plastic silverware if you need too! Like.. melt-in-your-mouth, cancel all your plans after, think about it for days...kind of good!!!!! Do NOT forget about the Greek spaghetti...the perfect combination of butter, cheese and whatever secret ingredient they use, is the best sidekick to the steak! I normally choose the filet. The Bread: just get it. Used best as a juice cleaner upper when you are saddened by the steak already being digested and all you have left is the liquid reminder that you just housed as steak faster than an Indy Car. Get there early. This is not a suggestion, this is a warning. They are always packed. Just remember, if you find yourself near a baseball complex....you are surely close to one of the best restaurants in the MIDWEST! Enjoy!
