They also participate in art shows and the Iowa sweetcorn festival. Chuck's is a must!

My parents used to enjoy dining here for many years when the original owners were in charge. Hoping for an improvement, I decided to give it another chance, but sadly, I was disappointed once again. I ordered cavatelli, but the sauce was watery and lacked flavor. The baked potato appeared to have been left under a warming light for far too long and looked more like an overripe black banana. The chicken livers were very dry. On a positive note, the onion rings were good. The waitress did kindly take half off one of the dinners, which I appreciated, but it’s clear that they need to hire a more skilled cook. Overall, I am very disappointed.
