Mike's Pizza & Steakhouse

👍👍 They have really good pizza. Really enjoyed the Mike's special pizza. The mama mia is also very good but was a tad bit too spicy for me. Would get some pizza from here again!

Bubba-Q's
Barbecue restaurant
👍👍 As someone who lives in the south, which is Barbeque Valhalla, I gotta say. This is a hidden gem in rural Iowa. My waitress was a little cold, but otherwise attentive and was willing to resolve a mistake in the order. Even the item I didn't ask for was good eats. Get yourself a jar of sauce on t...

Warehouse Barbecue Co. & Brewhouse
Barbecue restaurant
👍👍 First rate BBQ! We had the Diet Starts Monday, and it fed four of us with some to take home. My personal favorite is the brisket. The chicken, pork, and ribs were also great. The ribs were competition done, not fall off the bone and the pulled pork was seasoned to perfection. The sauces were on poin...

Hy-Vee Grocery Store
Grocery store
👍 Great friendly place to shop, produce is usually fresh and well stocked. Every now and then some of their produce is not mature enough and other times produce well over their maturity date... Maybe a bit spoiled. Cooked food on the other hand has never been a hit with me, it's usually dry and not go...

Potros Garcia
Mexican restaurant
👍👍 Ottumwa has several Mexican restaurants, all of which are different and unique in their own way. Potros Garcia is almost a hidden gem - it seems not many people know about it, and so it never crowded.
I've tried nearly everything on their menu and have enjoyed all of it. If you haven't already trie...

Rancho Grande
Restaurant
😠 We frequently go to this establishment for a fast take out dinner. The last 3 times it just hasn't been the same. New people working there not knowing what they even offer on the menu. We went there Saturday night to place an order and it was $25 dollars more then it normally would be for the sam...
