10. Snappers
Reviewed By cindyfromdubuque
We stumbled upon Snappers while looking for something else, and we loved it. We ate outside on the patio on a beautiful summery day. There are covered and uncovered tables. It has TVs around the bar and patio to watch a game or event. We loved the food. My husband and I shared the carribbean nachos and pork sandwich and it was a good amount. I loved the atmosphere. Good serviced. We would definitely go back and recommend to others.

Just stopped in for a quick sandwich after church before graduation. Local subway was average nothing special stood out. They were very busy, there was enough seating so my group of 10 could set together.

The Breakfast Barn is connected to the bowling alley and not very noticeable. Iâm glad we found this place. We had very good service and tasty food. I had eggs, bacon and hash browns which were cooked perfectly. We will be going back when in the area.

We visited this restaurant on Saturday, September 15. Three of the people in our party had prime rib & they thought it was good, except for the fact that the meat was barely warm. I ordered the chicken oscar, which I've had at other restaurants. This was the absolute WORST I've ever had - it was barely edible. I've never seen it served the way I had it last night - covered in a thick glop of goop - it was TERRIBLE & totally overpriced. I'm not sure if I would ever go back - totally disappointed!

Great place to relax, watch boats go by, and listen to live music. Scott & Keifer played the day we were there, and they were great! The food is always high quality and very consistent each time we go there. Wait staff is always right on the ball. Our favorite place to go when we're at the lakes.

We don't like posting negative reviews. The restaurant business is brutal and anyplace can have an off night. However, there were some real problems with our recent dinner. Ate there on a Saturday night when the place was busy, but not packed, and every table in our section had to wait forever for service, drinks and food. Our entree arrived an hour + 10 minutes after ordering. In the interim, I had to wait about 30 minutes to get a cocktail, and our bread wasn't refreshed. In fact we felt abandoned - no apology, no check-in, no bowl of chips or extra bread while we waited. And no warning about the expected delay. Again, we understand things happen but a nearby table was offered 2 rounds of drinks on the house for their wait. Another table had a manager visit to apologize. Another was given their food to go after the long wait. In our case - no acknowledgement except a brief apology when our entrees finally arrived. We certainly don't expect to be comped, or to receive any extras, but the inconsistency in how various tables were treated was noticeable. It shouldn't be too difficult to establish a consistent policy when things get off schedule. Thank you.Hello - My sincere apologies for the lack of consistency. As a leader in the industry we strive to be the best at great food, great service, and creating that one special memory while dining with us. We will apply your constructive criticism into our front of the house training to be very transparent with everyone moving forward. Hopefully we have the opportunity to serve you again and make it a special experience. Once again, I apologize for the service and thank you for the observations.
2. Pizza Ranch - Spirit Lake

The buffet was suppose to include soup and it didn't. I asked if there was any soup and they said no. The table busing is not adequate. They let the plates pile up and only bused the table after you are done eating. I've eaten at other pizza ranches and they tend to the dishes as soon as you finish that serving. Probably the worst Pizza Ranch I have dined at.

We had a group of 8 & were lucky to get a table with little wait. My sausage & gravy over 2 enormous biscuits was only $4 & I couldnât finish it. Service was fantastic & all the food was great! Would definitely go back!
