It wasn't that busy, but all the empty tables were still dirty with dishes on them. She went around looking for someone to clean tables. Which I don't know why she couldn't clean up a table really quick herself. She went back toward the restrooms, then started circling to find someone to clean tables. She could have clean several tables in that time. Finally a gal came to us and apologized for the wait because she was in the bathroom. We didn't need to know that. But she did clean a table for us to sit at. After sitting there for about 15 minutes, we left. That is the second time in about a year we have left because the service was so bad and slow. As far as the gal that seated us, she told at least 2 other groups that she had been in the bathroom. NOBODY WANTS TO KNOW THAT! When she was in there, maybe she could have washed the fresh-looking tomato sauce stain off her shirt.

This way of service has really tpuched my heart, and that's why I am writing this review! Thankyou Slideways for a gr8 experience. The ambiance is also very good, gr8 songs are played all time and the go-kart is very cool especially for those who have never done such things!

If I were giving a review of the food and waitresses, I would give this place a 5, BUT…read more.. Visiting family from out of state, my husband I came in with family who are locals. When Karaoke guy arrived, my niece said she didn't like him because he always skips over her and her friend so that he, his girlfriend, and other friends can sing. My cousin put his name down sixth on the night's list to sing Sweet Caroline. After obviously being passed over by numerous singers, he went up to look at the list to see his name was scribbled out. AVOID this place on Friday nights unless you're into hearing the same 5 or 6 people sing all night.

We waited 40 minutes to place an order and another 40 minutes for them to turn on the spurs game that myself and several other patrons requested. It's a cute bar, but we didn't even get to try the food because we were waiting for so long. No one is making you work there ladies... if you don't want to work, go home. Needs new staff and probably better management to ensure that "people skills," and respect are still being implemented as part of their training.

Been here twice when visiting my Aunt who lives in the area. I think the first time I suggested…read morethe place and my Aunt hadn't been. However coming back several years later seems like this is a fav of hers. I think it's a great bbq place and I've enjoyed everything I've had. The second time I got a meat platter with 3 kinds of meat. The ribs seemed a bit of a throw away add but I think they held their own against pulled pork and brisket. Yep I said it and I ain't taking it back. The sides were phenomenal. Mac and cheese and potato salad and I didn't leave any of it though I was full . The location is pretty much the main drag and it's near the raceway (like next door). Plenty of room inside and they had some tvs showing the college football games and there was some outside seating as well. I will come back if visiting again!

We are told we order there and then find a seat and someone will bring our food. First they brought the wrong food. Two of us were done eating before the other two got their food. Nobody ever asked if we wanted drink refills. We had to go to the bar. It makes no sense why you can't sit and have someone wait on you. There were two tables and the "server" was never around. Three women standing at bar talking about dating instead of tending to customers. The food was okay, but it would have been better with some BBQ sauce...but we couldn't find anyone to ask. The building is really neat...I will give them that. Our first visit to Iowa...probably won't return to this particular eatery.
