Pattee Cafe

Had dinner after a long drive through Iowa. We were the only diners there, which after dining I can tell why. Wife had the famed chicken pot pie. It was unique looking. Good but not very seasoned. I spun the wheel and had the Tuesday night special, a "bagel burger". Sometimes you gamble and sometimes you lose. I lost. It was possibly the worst burger I have ever eaten (and I've eaten at carnivals and bowling alleys) and so far the lousiest meal I have had on our vacation. This chimera consisted of: burger, egg, bacon, avocado and pesto....on a bagel. How can someone put so many ingredients in a sandwich and still have it lack any discernable flavor? Well, if grease is a flavor I suppose they achieved that. I couldn't even finish half of it. Oh it came with fries and cocktail sauce too (????). It's like someone let their kid into the liquor cabinet before asking them to design the meal... So here I sit. A rock in my stomach and a heart full of regrets. A "Luxury" dining experience I could have lived without. 0 outta 4 stars.

The food was really good but it took us 2hrs and 15 minutes to after being seated to get our food and eat. They were busy, but seemed under staffed. We noticed other people at other tables getting irritated by the length of time it was taking to get their food also. Very nice place nice atmosphere. Good food. Just need to get the food out much quicker and better table service. We will try it again.

Great place to eat, especially with family and friends. Relax, enjoy appetizers and a drink with conversation. The main course is always outstanding. Service is very attentive, and friendly. Slow down, enjoy the meal and visit with family. Thank you for a great place to enjoy a full meal experience
