We met our family in Storm Lake to take the grand kids to Santa's Castle. Arby's is a fast food franchise serving primarily roast beef, turkey and chicken. This restaurant appeared to be fairly new and was quite clean. We arrived about 12:15 so had to deal with a bit of lunchtime rush. With four adults and two kids Delores did an excellent job of getting the order correctly. Food was ready promptly and tasted good. As with any "fast food" franchise your not getting a gourmet meal but if you are tired of burgers this chain is a good alternative. The Storm Lake location provided us good food in a clean restaurant with very good customer service.

I am giving this a 4-rating because of the prices, and the food was okay. I had a value box with a double cheeseburger, chicken sandwich, fries, drink, and cookie for just $5,00. You can find better than "okay" food elsewhere, but you can't beat the price for what you get. Staff was also pleasant.

I grew up in the area and brought a friend down. The onion rings were a huge hit. I still can't find any as good. The staff was helpful and friendly. The goulash could of used a couple vegetables but was still good.

We ordered 2 kidsmeals and a pasta dish which shouldn't be hard right....We also ordered an appetizer which was not great at all. It was a spinach artichoke dip and by far the worst I have ever had. The waitress was not friendly at all and acted like she had never seen kids before. The view of the Lake as great and the restaurant décor was nice but the buck stops there. We ordered breakfast the next morning and it was no better. The pancakes were overcooked and the sausage was undercooked.

Nice fresh salad bar! Hubby had Oscar Oscar (6 oz steak served on Texas toast with shrimp, crab meat, and asparagus covered in hollondaise sauce. I had Mahi mahi with mushrooms and bernandise wine sauce. We got there early to beat the rush. Service was awesome! Best food we've had in Storm Lake for a long time!

Stopped in right at 5 when the buffet started. Ordered our own pizza like usual. Canadian bacon and sauerkraut with Alfredo sauce on a stuffed crust. It wasn't that busy yet. Hit the salad bar and some of the dressings were empty. I did also hit the hot buffet and dessert since it was then full. I was actually sitting so I could see the whole buffet while eating. There came a point shortly where people were standing and waiting for the chicken. Seems that the Kitchen wasn't working the broaster quick enough. It also took longer than usual for our pizza to arrive. Having visited plenty of locations, I'm used to getting our special order in roughly the same amount of time. I was actually finished with my other selections and waited for the pizza. This was a first. The dessert pizzas here are better than most. They always have all 4 fruit flavors on the buffet as well as both cactus breads.

Three of us visited and we all had great meals! I had the Pesto Chicken sandwich, my daughters had the chicken salad and a "design a hamburger" and everything was awesome! We especially loved the French fries, the seasoning was just right. Service was good too, we would definitely go back.

Smokin' Hereford Bbq

Reviewed By Josh A

We just spent a weekend in Storm's Lake at King's Pointe for a little family getaway. There doesn't seem to be ton of eating options in Storm's Lake. I love barbecue so the Smokin' Hereford stuck out when I saw an ad. Turns out it is newish restaurant and looked to be one of the most popular so I felt good about our choice. The atmosphere is fun...I haven't been in a restaurant that throws peanut shells on the ground in a long time, so that was an exciting touch. The decor is fun and keeps you busy as you digest it all. The service was not good however, as our server must have gotten at least 4 things wrong with our order. Additionally I can't say I was too impressed with the BBQ. I would call it average to below average in terms of BBQ restaurants. The burnt ends were more like diced ends and my father-in-laws ribs were not sauced. (coincidentally, I don't sauce mine at home when I smoke, but I also do not run a restaurant and don't care about presentation. I like to taste my ribs before adding sauce) . The spicy beans were just beans with some pepper thrown on top. I did enjoy the spicy mac n cheese though...delicious. The sauces available were just okay...almost seemed hokey and not very rooted in traditional barbecue. But i really do appreciate the variety so thats a plus as other bbq joints sometimes only have one or two types.I brought a group of 7 with some children in the group so the cussing by some of the drunk diners didn't help.
