This is how I remember the beginning of our chapter. Now, I see from the reviews that bad food and service seems to be a pattern here.By Darrell Eickelkamp (Lifetime Honorary Board Member) I'd rather suggest that we won't be dining here again. That's the first time I haven't left a tip in over 20 years. She came back and flopped it on the bar and took off back to the boyfriend. FINALLY she sort of ran out, grabbed the check and CC and whipped it through the machine. I returned to the bar to wait for her.and waited and waited. Finally, I stepped around and our waitress turned and looked me in the eye. I could hear him talking to a guy first then a gal's voice. I stopped at the bar and he walked around me and went back toward what I assume was the kitchen. As I was walking back, a guy walked in a side door and followed me back. I said I needed to find a restroom before we hit the road and would go to the bar. We finished off the last little bit of our drinks while we visited and I asked my wife if she had seen a cash register anywhere or if she thought the waitress would be back for payment. Yes, was the reply and she returned with box and check in hand, sat them on the table and walked away. ![]() We said we needed a small box and she also asked if we needed our check. We ate slowly and pretty soon, she did manage to find our table without us beckoning her. My mixed drink was also a good drink and my wife loved the IPA she had. Probably 5 minutes after that, she brought our Pizza which was actually pretty darn good to our surprise. Another 5 - 10 minutes passed and she brought them. He went over and yelled back into the bar and told our waitress we needed some more drinks. We slowly finished our drinks and the tall fuzzy haired guy appeared again and started clearing the table from the group of women since they had left about 10 minutes before that. I told her we would order now and ordered our pizza. A few minutes later, a short African American gal brought us our drinks and asked if we needed more time. We gave him our drink order and he left us a couple of menus. Out comes a tall buy with fuzzy hair and whiskers. She went back in and I could hear her talking with them to come wait on us. She said she saw a couple of workers and they saw her so she assumed someone would come wait on us. My wife got up and walked into the bar area. ![]() We waited quite a while and I said I wasn't going to put up with this, we'd find somewhere else to eat. We sat at a table at the other end of the dining room. The only people in the dining area was a table of 8 or 10 women who had finished eating and were just sitting there gabbing. ![]() It had been YEARS since we had eaten there, so we thought we'd give it a go. The dental assistant told her that the Shot Tower had pretty good pizza and a full bar. We had some appointments in Dubuque today and my wife asked them where a good place to eat pizza was where we could get a cocktail with lunch.
