Restaurant

Great service, great food, and it's in a nice cozy area. Bar side is classy with memorabilia on the walls.

As a couple of California gals, we received a strong recommendation to visit the Grinnell Maid-Rite. Sadly, this location was closed, according to a reviewer because "they are an abomination against god". Fortunately as we were driving on the I-80, we saw a sign for the Avoca Maid-Rite and were thrilled. We took photos by their sign and then proceeded inside to order some deliciousness. There was one employee working, we will call him The Pickle Artist, as he was delicately place pickles one by one on the four sandwiches he was making. His went on for sometime. There was one couple in front of us waiting to order and two people waiting to pick their orders, so we figured this wouldn't take long. We were wrong. Another employee at the truck stop saw the line, asked if the man behind the counter was ok, he said yes he was fine, and she left. No acknowledgement of the line. The people in front of us decided Taco John's was faster and left. Meanwhile, the Pickle Artist had moved to gently wrapping the sandwiches like they were fragile pieces of China. He certainly took pride in his work, however no sense of urgency beat in his breast. The other employee, who was in fact from Taco John's, came back and they had a lovely conversation on how he was to do things, how long to heat up the meat, while he handed the baskets of food he so lovingly created for the two waiting patrons. He, nor she, acknowledged us as we listened to their lengthy conversation. Finally he was ready to take our order. This being our first time, we had questions. Some he answered easily enough, others, for instance, questions referring to the menu online were shrugged off saying 'they don't order me all the things'. We settled on two mega cheese Maid-Rites, and an order of Cheese Curds which he made into a basket to save us money. Yay for the Pickle Artist! Now for the differences between our review and the many other reviews- our sandwiches were not wet or soggy- in fact, they could have been a little juicier or had the melted cheese option to aid with cohesiveness. The size was perfect- completely filling, and of course, the Pickle placement was perfection. The cheese curds were fantastic and he speedily made our sandwiches while we went next door to the bakery and got pie slices. Overall, this experience has not turned us away from Maid-Rite, but has us intrigued to try again at a non-truck stop location.

Everything was fine I was in and out no problem

My salad consisted of lettuce and one tomatoe slice. That's it. My gravy on the potatoes was cold. My raspberry ice tea was doable at best. The waitress never came to refill our drinks until we were ready to leave. Not very impressive. .

Accommodating and friendly customer service. My food was fresh. Thank you.

The pizza is great! The employees helpful and nice.

Although the atmosphere needed desperate help, the food (breakfast) was delicious and very affordable. Plenty of parking available and attentive, friendly staff.

Great customer service

This trendy McDonalds is attached to a local gas station and has a wonderful outdoor patio with picnic tables to sit with family while overlooking the mighty Mississippi River! I really thought that the food would be as unique and creative as the location, BUT my large caramel frappe was terrible. The drink had too much of a coffee taste. For the view, I will go back anytime. I do not plan to go back for the food.

Slow service. Biscuits n gravy was ok. The floors were real sticky.

This is our favorite date spot when we want a nice anniversary dinner! Delicious authentic italian food.

As Wendy's go... this location is a great location. The staff is friendly. The orders are correct and timely. The food quality is at the high end of the spectrum.

Great fries & frozen yogurt not impressed with their burgers

No wait for great service, good coffee, fast breakfast, awesome cinnamon swirl French toast. Hit the spot and a good start to our Sunday!

Very good and fresh! Quick service. My first time, definitely will go back.
