The Bluestem

Reviewed By tmoeller_98 - MN

We’ve been here several times,and I’ve only been disappointed once. Great entree’s to choose from, and their appetizers vary different times if the year. We prefer to sit in the bar area; but the dining room is also nice. My favorite dish is the shrimp platter. Another favorite is the mushroom provolone burger. Prices are reasonable. We have not had the prime rib (tried once,but they ran out). Service is mostly excellent.
They do have a gluten free menu, but unsure if they cook everything separate like they should. I have a daughter who gets viery ill if she ingests gluten, and she has had a couple of different gf dishes-. She has gotten sick a couple of times after eating here.

Sterling`s Cafe & Grille

Reviewed By Scott S

I Recently read an article on “what not to order at a restaurant” and first on the list was The Daily Special! I had always thought restaurants offered a Daily Special to encourage business. How wrong I was and right the article was. With family visiting we decided on eating at Sterling’s. We all ordered a hamburger dinner which happened to be the Daily Special. It was absolutely disgusting and uneatable. When we complained to the waitress we were told that the cook had ground some extra fat in with the hamburger. My guess, it was a mix of old and tainted meat that should have been thrown out, but instead ground into hamburger and sold as the Daily Special. We heard the next day that another group of people had the same experience on the same thing evening. They were smarter than us and got up and left without paying. It’s really unfortunate since we know Sterling’s can also serve good food. Regretfully, we won’t be coming back any time soon and pay to be their garbage disposal.

Vinnie's Dang Fine Dine

Reviewed By Belinda M - Mount Waverley, Victoria, Australia

It was late, their were the usual suspects, McDonalds, Subway etc, but saw this little spot and thought why not? So glad we did! Vinnie and his staff were lovely and welcoming and the food was simple and very yummy, we all loved our choices and left very satisfied. The little ice creams at the end were such a nice touch, really made us feel welcome. The atmosphere and vinyl albums and just general vibe was great. If we weren’t just passing by this is the sort of place I’d go to again and again. Lucky Luvernites!

Pizza Ranch

Serves an excellent buffet. Staff and management are EXCEPTIONAL!!!

Reviewed By jeff77664 - Downingtown, Pennsylvania

Had dinner at restaurant 1 night. This was the first pizza ranch we ever went to so cannot compare it to other pizza ranches. I felt the staff was good as they made sure that if we wanted some other type of pizza they would bring it out. The place was extremely crowded as there was some type of kids specials and alot of local people were there. The staff did keep replacing the food as it was taken. Overall, I would go back to this place as I felt it was good value for the money.

The burgers are not big in size, but very good. French fries and malts top off a great summertime meal. The twist cone is always a fav and large serving for the $.

Reviewed By mtcozzola

Coffee shops like this make me wish I lived in a small town. The server was friendly and easy-going, the coffee was hot and delicious, and it even came with a chocolate-covered coffee bean on top! There's a drive-up and a nice little café if you walk in.

Godfather's Pizza

Reviewed By MARK W - Mesa, Arizona

This is a Glenn's gas station that offers the typical selections of a highway stop. The pizza is to go. You can call in your order and the price is right, especially if you have a coupon from Glenn's Market grocery store -- the only one in town. We get the thin crust and in the world of pizza it is below average but a better value than the other pizza joint in town.

Howling Dog Saloon

Bar and grill. Open Monday - Saturday 10am-2am Sunday 11am-8pm. Something on the menu for everyone, once a month a Sunday brunch that is sure to please.

Reviewed By Tourist54220 - Manitowoc, Wisconsin

The place was recommended by the desk clerk at our hotel and was an easy short walk. Happy Hour is up to 7:00 PM with $1 off beer or mixed drinks. Although a saloon, it's a clean decent family place offering salads, burgers, sandwiches, soups and salads at reasonable prices. Our food was hot, tasty, and prepared in a timely manner. Our waitress was personable and gave us great service.
