Steak my wife had was tender and awesome. I got the tenderloin and it had a good amount of pork. Bummed it didn’t come with tomato and lettuce. Was told that would be extra. I eat breaded tenderloins around the state and never had to pay extra for that.

Very good French Dip. Not as surly to "outsiders" as most places in Storm Lake.

Went for an early dinner and am so glad we did. The food was great and the service was awesome. I ordered the Gyro and it was really good. Also enjoyed the cheese balls. The ranch dressing was killer! Wish I was in town longer so I could try other items.
