"My server, Nick, seemed to be in charge of the dining area and provided quick and attentive service. I was impressed that my Reuben sandwich arrived at my table just seven minutes after I placed my order. In less than ten minutes from when I walked in, I was enjoying my meal. The Reuben itself predominantly tasted of beef and bread. The deli-style corned beef slices were quite tasty, complemented by a mixture of Thousand Island dressing and sauerkraut that added a nice punch to the meat. However, a little more sauerkraut and dressing would have helped balance the flavors. The marbled rye was said to be grilled, but it seemed more like it had been toasted; the texture was consistent throughout each slice rather than just crispy on the outside. The sandwich was not overly messy, aside from a few drips of the somewhat runny Thousand Island dressing, which could have been thicker to better hold the ingredients in place. I also ordered the potato chips, which tasted homemade and were very enjoyable. They were beautifully crispy along the edges, with the occasional softer center that I found delightful. Overall, this was a solid place for a quick dinner. I was in and out in under 30 minutes, which was perfect considering my need for efficiency. While the sandwich wasn’t extraordinary, it certainly won’t disappoint if you find yourself in Ottumwa and are craving a Reuben."

Great service, delicious food, and tasty drinks. The restaurant could use some updates, as the menus appeared quite worn. I will definitely be coming back!

Had the Hotel Hasch. It had hashbrowns with severity and eggs upstairs with bacon. The food was very good and my breakfast was nice and warm. Came in time and the service was good. The first time there and will be good again. If you stop a good breakfast and good atmosphere and try it out. View menu

Quality of the food has went way down the last few times we've ordered. Fries have been cold and overcooked/burnt. Always have to check our order now to make sure all is correct. Unfortunately it's our last time giving it a chance. Used to be a favorite place to eat. Probably good thing it's their last year open. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner

"I don't even know where to begin. The service was extremely poor; I wasn't greeted when I arrived and had to seat myself. The food quality was also disappointing. It's hard to believe that anyone could mess up blueberry pancakes, yet they did. The pancakes were simply awful, and the sausage wasn’t homemade. Everything tasted unappetizing, and the blueberries were sour. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Overall, I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere as a 1 out of 5."
