Reasonably priced for what they are offering. We tried the gator bites and a cowboy burger with a side salad. The gator was very good and we lived over 35 years on the Texas Gulf coast and in south Louisiana so we know good gator. The gator came with a tasty honey mustard dip. The burger was a 1/2# patty topped with perfectly cooked smoked bacon andsmoked cheddar cheese and brisket burnt ends. Nice BBQ aioli sauce. The salad was a very nice mix with everything we couldwant included. Fresh crisp lettuce, tomatoes, chopped red onion and sliced cucumber covered with shredded cheese. Ayla was ourserver and she was very helpful guiding us thru the menu options. We moved back to Iowa over 15 years ago and we eat out oftenbut this was our BEST dining out experience in Iowa EVER!! Already thinking of an excuse to get back over that way so we caneat at Buzzard Billy's again and try some other things on that menu. Maybe some blackened seafood or jerk chicken as thepictures of those look delicious. I HIGHLY recommend it!!! Oh, BTW, they gave us $2 off of the appetizer because it'sThursday. ?? I'd like to know more about discounts for weekdays, etc.
