"I mean...with a name like Dr. Getwell's how could you go wrong?? We found this on our drive home from Florida and so glad we did! It'll be our stop for now on! Loved everything we had...even my picky wife loved their hamburger!! 2 of us ordered the Country fried steak special...it was so big and so good, we couldn't finish them! Oh and of course we had to get 4 different pie/cake deserts !! All homemade of course Definitely a great place to stop and eat and drink!!"

"Food was good, decent price and good amount food for price. Service was good. We sat on side away from bar area so it was a bit more quite. Would have rated less on atmosphere if that part was not available. Had awesome older pictures, and signs. Would go back. Wouldn't take kids because of the bar side though."

"Happen to be in town a few days with my family and wanted to swing by this place. I have always been a fan of the Hawkeye, and I knew this place had a connection. I was pleasantly surprised, by everything! I was with a party of 8, they had no problem accommodating us, and the service was superb. I enjoyed a French dip, and I truly mean enjoyed. Everyone at the table had nothing but rave reviews about their meals. We definitely tried out the drink menu, it was also good, too good! If I were in town this would be a regular spot for me. Affordable, great service, and an abundance of delicious options."

"Worth the trip! Had a craving for a tenderloin sandwich, and they did not disappoint! House made chips, too!"

- Jessica G.

"The best. Worth any drive on any day to get what they got. Its first class dinning in an every class environment. Delicious- can't wait for more of those mashed potatoes!!"

"Food is always good here, I like the southern fried chicken sandwich but I'm leaving a review to highlight how friendly the staff were with our kids. We brought our 3y old, who wanted to run around and mess with tables, and our 7m old who was fighting sleep hard. Both kids were fine for a while but eventually 3y old got increasingly antsy, a bit noisy and our baby started fussing as soon as we got food. Our server was super friendly to all of us, talked to our kid just like any other person. Another server brought him a coloring book to keep him occupied and even offered to hold our baby so I could eat! Although I didn't take her up on her offer, I appreciated the gesture and just wanted to leave this review to let the restaurant and others with children know how friendly and accommodating all of the staff were with our kids. Even one of the cooks talked to our boy while he was just passing by our table for a moment. So as a new mom who can get anxious bringing the kids out, I appreciate your staff!!!"
