This is HANDS DOWN, the most welcoming, small town bar and restaurant I've ever been to. Midnight on a Friday and I had to drive to a small town 40 minutes away, so roughly 1 am when I arrived and, I'm assuming it was the owner, had our food ready to go for us. Amazing customer service. PLUS, they have the BEST homemade apple pie moonshine I've ever tasted...taste just like apple juice. Thank you for the great food and and the drink to remember ya by. Keep up the great work!
Hidden gem. Great bar food, wonderful service, and the prices can't be beat. Hoping to come back in the summer time when we can get out on the bike! Stop by Cliff's - you won't regret it!
Best breaded pork tenderloin I’ve ever eaten…anywhere. And I’ve eaten tenderloins all across Iowa. Perfect size, perfect thickness, tender and cooked to perfection. And all for $7.95 - unbelievable. A true family restaurant with terrific food at incredible value prices. Most highly recommended!
Great small bar and grill!! Such fantastic food and low prices!!
THE ABSOLUTE BEST PLACE FOR FOOD AND DRINKS ANY TIME OF DAY!!!! FABULOUSLY LOW PRICES!!!! YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A BETTER MEAL AT ANY PRICE!!!
Cheap but good food, quick service, bustling with locals, breakfast all day, Emily at the bar was lovely, you can't ask for anything else. Excellent detour heading from Minneapolis south.
We stopped in for a beverage and had a great bartender! Kaysee is the best. Super sweet and makes a great drink. If you're around Horton, Iowa stop in.
Best grilled chicken sandwich my wife ever had. I had a cheeseburger and it was very good. Simple place. Friendly staff. Bathrooms are a bit rough. Very affordable.
we ordered cauliflower for an app. It was good, hot and crunchy. Serve d with honey mustard sauce. Tenderloin was good and crispy on the edges. Kaiser roll fresh. Tomato in the sandwich was great! Fresh! Patty Melt good: could use just a little more cheese. Tatie tots crispy and good. Waitress was funny, timely , honest and great. She also was the cook! Got a shot of their famous homemade “ apple pie”. OMG 😳: so good. Cliffs lives up to the dive bar rep but the service is so wonderful and the food so good. This place is a gem in the middle of the country!
Breakfast was so yummy and portions are a good size and the prices are inexpensive. Our server was Sheila and she was the nicest person. We will be back and will need to try their dinners
