Special was 1/2 pound cheese burger and fries. Hard to say no to that. Burger was very juicy and cooked perfectly. Bun was toasted and I was surprised by the fresh lettuce and tomato. A step above the standard bar burger. Fries were crispy and hot, not soggy at all. Waitress was very friendly and helpful even to an out of town face. Never had to wait for my iced tea to be refilled. I would highly recommend Jugs&Suds. Don't let the name scare you off.

I think we probably ended up here because of the word "Jugs" in the title. This is not, I repeat NOT, a titty bar... although it would have been more fun if it were! This is one of those places that serves fried pickles with ranch dip, country music blares in the background, and beer flows freely. I can't complain at all about this place. It was actually kind of fun. It's certainly not anywhere I'd go if I weren't in Onawa, but alas, I was!

And it's comes with a side of country gravy just like chicken fried steak, how could I not try a special burger like that.... And I was not disappointed! It was wonderful, so juicy and flavorful, with the breading surrounding a hand made patty, dipped into that thick, got peppery gravy.... So, so, so good. My wife chose the mushroom Swiss Burger and tots. She couldn't finish the whole burger, it was a big Burger with lots of tots, so I got to try it. She had be reaching about it all the time we were eating, as was I about my burger, and I wasn't sure I could eat the small little sliver she had left but she gave it to me to try and, wow.... It was really as good as what I got. So much cheese and mushrooms, and the burger was perfectly cooked and seasoned. If you find yourself out near Fremont Nebraska, close to a one horse town named Nickerson, with a bar and grill named the One Horse Saloon, stop and eat.... Don't pass this place up. Btw....as we were getting ready to leave, the couple next to us ordered ribs, and I almost say back down for another meal. So many great choices.... We have got to come back here.

The waitress was friendly and prompt to come and get our drink order and to get it brought to us. Then our order was not long after that. A table of 4 and we received our appetizer quick enough and had time ro enjoy it before our order came. We all made sure to get something different so as to try as much of the menu we could. Burger, fries, cauliflower, chicken fried steak sandwich, pork tenderloin sandwich, onion rings, glue fries, drinks and im sure im missing something. Everyone left feeling very satisfied, and loving our choices and what we ate. The place is smaller and I can see once its a packed house it is probably noisy but its to be expected. After all it is a tavern. I will be recommending the place as much as I can and will visit again when I am in town.

However, "Frannies", a breakfast/lunch place had good reviews. Easy to find. Plenty of parking on this charming Iowa Main Street. Interior was light, airy, and clean. Plenty of seating. The service was immediate and cheerful. Coffee was excellent. I ordered the "Breakfast Feast" - country fried steak, hash browns (or fries), two eggs to order (scrambled), and a grilled muffin (back East we call it an "English Muffin." All covered in a light pepper gravy. Everything was done to perfection. The hash browns were crispy, the steak was also crispy yet tender. Often times, a gravy can be "flour-y" or too much pepper but this was perfect. Grilled muffins were crispy and buttery. The portion was large, and I couldn't finish, but I didn't bring it home to microwave later: it would have been mush and I wanted to remember it just as it had been in all of its tasty glory. My wife had French toast and sausage (she has more resistance than I), and it was reportedly excellent as well. Prices were very reasonable. We tipped 30% on the total.

They do have a food menu but for convenience we ordered a burger that they were grilling and selling outdoors. There are many picnic tables and a couple of stages on their large landing outside the main building. Everything seems super clean which is nice, and the folks that work there are very accommodating. I can only comment to the women's restroom, but they are fantastic! Each stall is completely private and well maintained! Always nice! I boated there over Memorial Day weekend, and while they did have bands it was nice that there was no cover. Who does that?!? Just another refreshing part of this newer establishment. They did add gas on their docks for boats which they didn't have last year. Fantastic except on this particular day anyway they did not have dedicated docks for boats that needed gas, but rather they would drag the gas hose over other boats to get to the boat that needed gas. Meanwhile the boat needing gas had to hold on to other docked boats to keep it steady while filling up. Hopefully this will not be a practice they continue as it seemed a bit dangerous and annoying for the owners of the docked boats. Their RV campground seemed full and nice, although it will be even nicer once the newer trees grow enough to actually provide some shade. Welcome back Cottonwood Marina!! So happy it was rebuilt after the flood!
