"We just ate here tonight after spending a week in Storm Lake. We gave this place a second chance and sooo glad we did! Kourtney was our waitress.Hubby has serious allergies. She went back and asked the manager, Myleia (spelling ?) They both came back with ingredients from the packaging. We were ok….Hubby ordered walleye (with garlic herb butter) with baked potato, garlic bread and salad bar! I also had the same except with rice. OMG…it was amazing! Both girls came back several times to check on us! The walleye is so much better than a competitor on the lake with a water park….hands down!! We definitely will be back when we are in town!"
