Pete & Shorty's Iowa Bistro

This is a great midwestern bar with awesome smash burgers.

A drunk guy at the bar was rude, verbally abusive, instigating fights and very loud. The staff didn't stop him or kicked him out. Couldn't enjoy dinner. I complained about the drunk. Her response was, " we have regulars that thinks they run this place." Pork shank was cold and greasy and the mashed potato was watery, my roll was moldy. Husband's fries were cold. Never going there again. MY SERVER POSTED MY RECEIPT ON FACEBOOK/SOCIAL MEDIA FOR NOT GIVING HER MONETARY TIP. The tip I gave her was"should have kicked out the drunk"

Parking: The parking lot was full on a Sunday afternoon. However, the restaurant was not. Maybe they get overflow from other businesses.

Tried it tonight with family.. waitress said loosemeat sandwhich was like the maid rite. Just ground meat with onion, pickle and mustard. Pretty plain tasting. Had the tenderloin. About the size of bun.. it was ok. And yes I'm from Iowa. Born and raised. Wheelchair accessibility: Has a ramp to enter

Yummmm!

A wonderful neighborhood bar! They make everyone feel like a regular! Be sure to lift the leaf! It's one of THE best bars I've ever experienced! A must! 10 out of 10!!

Great fun & food!

I came and had a meal with my family and the server Kerri was very attentive and one of the greatest servers I’ve had. All the food that came to the table was amazing and tasted fresh. Can’t wait to go again the experience all the way around was top notch. Thank you
