We had a reservation for father's day. The restaurant was not busy. The host put us in a not so nice area when we requested a nice booth looking outside to the area. We waited 15 to 20 min just to get a server, that i had to ask host to get for us. Different tables had put in drink and food order. Our 1st time going was disappointing.

Inattentive staff, which would be understandable if they were busy. However, they were not busy at all...

Terrible food and service. Server did not place the whole tables order which made us have to wait over 45 mins for the table to get their food, didn’t want to comp any meals, food was very bland, and many issues with the bill. Manager and staff did own up to their mistake and left very unhappy. We decided on this place to have a good brunch for Mother’s Day and was not pleased with the staff, food, and customer service.

Great experience with early dinner for six of us prior to going to show at the Civic Center. The food was great and our waitress was excellent and attentive. Such a typical Iowa friendly atmosphere with super southern cuisine. This was our fourth visit and it just seems to get better each time we go. The "Biscuit's for a Cause" appetizer is a must to start every meal. When asked if you want honey or jam with that, just say yes. The Blackened Mahi Mahi with a side of Gourmet Mac & Cheese was absolutely perfect.
