We were headed to another restaraunt that turned out was shut down due to the flooding. Came here instead and was pleasantly surprised. Good selection of beer and interesting menu. And the service was excellent and friendly. The Portobello fries were great and the burger was delicious. It was also very clean, particularly since it had been closwd down for the flood earlier this year.

Heard how great this place was- went on a Saturday night. Was busy, but greeted and seated in timely fashion. Decent food and service, nothing exceptional. Kai Ann was our waitress. Paid our bill and left--- low and behold a few days later when my bill went through my account the tip had been DOUBLED! Since I still had my receipt, I called and asked to speak to the manager on duty. I explained that either the waitress had changed the tip amount (theft) or it had been run through twice. She took my name and number and told me the amount would be refunded. When I asked what her name was... it was the very same waitress that had originally waited on us. (whether or not she was manager I don't know). Needless to say I never got a return call or my "extra" tip money back- despite her saying she would. It's not the amount of the money that really matters---- it's the principal- they ran my credit card for more than what I had approved. And if that is how the "management" is,,,, I definitely won't be back- says a lot about a business. I would say if you are going there- double check your receipt and your debit/credit card once it goes through for waitresses wanting a better tip than what they deserve.To me it's theft!!Hello! While I'm very sorry this situation happened, and this review is so difficult to read for me and our team, I'm glad you reached out. We've been trying to contact you to rectify this situation. I'm not sure if your phone number was copied down wrong or why you didn't receive our return calls/messages, but we need a little more information from you to complete the refund transaction. If you can contact the owner directly through [email protected] or 563-639-9536, we can make this right. It was a simple mistake that went very wrong! Again, I am so sorry this happened.

We have been eating Harris pizza for 50 plus years. They have expanded their menu over the years to include many other food items. The pasta,chicken wings, and sandwiches are very good. Service is good and usually pretty fast at getting your food. The only problem I have had is parking. Wish they were open a little later at night.

We stopped in to try the beer and have a snack. We had the fried soft pretzels, which were fine. Got a flight of their beers. Nothing that we liked enough to order a pint and some were really not good. Service was ok. Atmosphere was okay. Just nothing here that really impressed us like some other places in the area.

This restaurant was a great experience from the moment we walked in the door. We were greeted by a staff member providing a dramatic presentation of the evening's specials. I wanted to order 8 of them. We were then seated immediately without a reservation (ok, it was a Monday night). The wine list is presented by a plastic duck.The bread was served with a roasted head of garlic. The Matzo Ball soup was very flavorful. The Caesar salad came with homemade croutons.Before our entrees were served the chef switched one of the TVs to the right sporting event so I even had entertainment.The duck breast is personalized to include your name spelled out in the sauce. But it's an amazing dish. Even the presentation of the sliced vegetables is perfect. The steak Melissa was a filet cooked perfectly. It had Bleu cheese sauce on top and mashed potatoes below.We even have leftovers because we had to save room for dessert. The evening special was a Bailey's Irish creme tiramisu with chocolate flakes. This was more to die for than the death by chocolate dessert.The chef even came to check on us and we had a little conversation with him.

It is very tight seating and could be in better repair BUT the food was excellent and many very unique choices. Our water pitcher was kept full and they were very attentive. The building and dining area was fun and quaint! We all enjoyed what we ordered. I suppose they could work on presentation being better too but they didnât lack for customers and all of us said weâd definitely come back when in the area.

The wait staff is fast and courteous. The entire facility is spotless. The menus weren't slimy. The seats and table weren't sticky. I'm amazed at the cleanliness for a diner style restaurant. All the condiments were full. The servings were huge and really good selection. The coffee was fresh and tasty. We had omelets and french toast. Both were made with fresh ingredients. I'd go back here every weekend if I lived in the same state.

Visiting the casino for a show. Got there early and thought we'd have a cocktail at Ruthie's. Hostess asked if we had a reservation and, no we didn't. We had already eaten at an amazing restaurant elsewhere! The bartender overhears our conversation and says over the wall 'reservations only'. Way to go Ruthie's'... because your reviews don't already stink!!! Glad we ate elsewhere! BTW, one star only because zero wasn't an available option.
