Food was tasty. Service was pleasant and helpful when I was searching for specific dietary needs. Most amazing was having a waitress who can remember orders from different tables without writing anything down. Plus she stopped to see how we were doing not just a "drive by" which was very appreciated. Have it a 4 rating because of the music..... if you can cal it that. Average age dining while we were there was 45-50. Music was for teenies and very loud. It was super annoying. Other than music, it was pleasant.

Good beer pretty good food. The coleslaw was not to my liking. Pulled pork tacos were good. Shrimp tacos were also good as well as philisteak sandwich. Thanks for visiting and reviewing our restaurant. Our coleslaw is a Baja Cole Slaw. Either people really like it or they don't. Hope to see you again soon.

Great pizza place in an old Burger King. Lunch buffet is not to be missed, but don't arrive after 1:30 because they shut down in the afternoon. If none of the pizza looks good on the buffet, fear not they will make you one of your choice. Friendly staff.

Overall good food and service. Better than the average/typical burlington restaurants.We ordered the chicken lips app, and then burgers (the spicy jalapeño one, and the California one). The chicken lips were good, and the burgers were done well. The spicy was actually spicy (in an enjoyable way). Fries were tasty. Again the food and service were good, generally better than average. The prices were slightly higher than average.Thank you for visiting, and taking the time to leave a review! We're glad to hear your meals and experience met your expectations. We'll pass your feedback on to our team.

We were visiting relatives in Burlington and decided to try this establishment based on other reviews. Man, it was GREAT! The tenderloins are homemade and very tasty and large! The beer was cold (though a little expensive) and service was very good, but we sat at the bar. This place is family friendly and children would be welcomed here....more of a place to eat than a bar. It was so good we went back two days later and my brother in law had a very good ribeye steak but I had another tenderloin!

Overall I would say itâs just ok. If your coming from a big city. Remind yourself that this is in a small Iowa town. Staff was very friendly and prices were reasonable. We ordered the fried pickles and felt they didnât give you much for the price. However the meals made up for that. Huge pork tenderloin and could easily be shared with someone. The salad we ordered had good flavor since their salad dressing was homemade and tasty. Downfall was they used iceberg lettuce . The BLT was loaded with very cooked bacon. Didnât skimp at all on that. Overall pretty good and worth a stop if you need something to fill your tummy!

There isnât much to the place. Itâs a simple diner, family run (I think), and a basic menu. Food is good, we had the philly cheese steak sandwich, cheeseburger, and thick cut fries (steak fries). The thick fries were really good.Pretty basic, flavor was okay. Price is fair.

Grabbed lunch here with family on a nice summer day. The patio offered a great view of the river! The burger/fries were pretty good. Service was excellent that day! The server was very friendly/attentive. The owner/manager (presumably the owner) welcomed us, and later genuinely thanked us for visiting.

Based on the Trip Advisor ratings, my wife and I decided to give Napoli Pizza a try. We won't be going back. The catfish sandwich looked like pressed meat and the spaghetti could not come close with comparing to the Travola restaurant. I would like to give a positive review, but in this case I just couldn't. It was almost awful. Thus the two star rating. Some other selections may be much better, but I base this review upon the catfish sandwich and spaghetti.

Here on a business dinner. As a group of four we went for the graze option. Everything was amazing, tasteful, and well presented. The chicken lips, pork chops, and petite filet were prepared perfectly. All sides and appetizers were pleasing and plentiful. Itâs topped off with the âbig ass ice cream pieâ which was all it was advertised as. If feeling glutinous give it a try.
