      I came here for dinner while in town. There was one other table seated and then just me but I think this is more of a breakfast place. They had a great breakfast selection. I got a Reuban sandwich with garlic parmesan fries. They also had a beer special on the Sam Adam's oktoberfest. So of course I had that too. It has a diner feel to it. The food came out super fast and was great! It was a great atmosphere and would be fun for breakfast. They said they have amazing bloody Mary's that are like a meal in them self.

      We were hoping to eat at Mongs but there was a line out the door. Yelp said this was open. It was cold inside due to air conditioner so I wore my jacket. Ordered pork tenderloin grilled and no bun. Also ordered sweet potato salad as side. The pictures are so deceiving from before, as the pork tenderloin is not that big. Mine was hard to cut and dry. So disappointing from yesterday where mine was really good at another restaurant. Told the waitress about it and she could have got the manager, but I'll just bring home for my dog. There was alot or excess arugula so I asked for some Balsamic. The sweet potato salad was yummy with sweet potatoes, bacon, mayo and seasoning. Pork Tenderloin sandwiches are supposedly classic menu items in Iowa.

      Overcooked dry pork tenderloin. Dog gets a treat.

      I have been here many times and it's always a gamble whether my food will be good or bad. Today was very bad. Ordered chicken quesadilla as I've had many times. It's usually a safe bet. This time, there was hardly any chicken and the veggies were severely undercooked. The chipotle dip seemed watered down and lacking flavor. Ordered a side of fries and they came out cold. Got charged 99 cents for a dipping cup of ranch. Sign on the door said they are understaffed and that's fine. We were patient and the waitresses were nice. But at least serve the quality of product you brag about with your TripAdvisor rewards posted throughout the building.

      Love coming here for free fry Friday!
      One of the best pork sandwiches in Iowa hands down. It can feed 3 people easy!

      Fun place with a cool staff

      Disappointed. The wrap was $9.95 with no side and more wrap than filling. Very slim sprigs of lettuce and piece of onion. We also ordered a grilled cheese and add tomato...no tomato. The basil coleslaw is NOT made with fresh basil, but dry spice and does not taste like basil at all. The sweet potato chips are good.
