Reviews for The Pub at the Pinicon in New Hampton, IA

Horrible. Ordered Prime Rib. They asked me how I wanted it? red flag. Prime rib should only be rare. I ordered it rare. Came out... beyond well done. When I told the waitress, she understood. However, she came back and said this time of night it?s hard to getit rare. It opened at 4. I was there at 5:40. It wasn?t busy. Just a horrible, horrible experience with Prine Rib. Read more

Food was good. Service was very bad. Got drinks timely. Waited long time for salad and the main course came right on top of... salad. No one came to ask if wanted more to drink or if needed anything else. Or to even check if meal was good. Had to go andfind wait staff to ask for box to go and bill for meal. Got excuses for not coming, which didn't need to hear. Will probably notgo back. Read more

Found the place by accident as we were driving through. Friendly service, nice menu, and fantastic food! This will NOT be our... last time here. It's worth driving out of your way for! Read more

Went there to try it . Very disappointed. No one told us they had a group come in and it would be at least an hour or so for... our food. Would have taken longer but we just wanted to cancel our order at that point. We asked how much longer and could wejust get it to go..gal said few minutes.. 15 minutes later we got our food.. when I lifted the container up I got a handful ofketchup from bottom of container. Wow.. thanks for that. No customer service. Would have appreciated being told it was a longwait and not the childish games with the ketchup. Read more

Outstanding. I drove all the way from Minneapolis to meet someone for dinner. I'd seen on the Tenderloin Trail website that this... place had an outstanding pork tenderloin sandwich, and that's what I went to get. It didn't disappoint. I don't think I've everhad a tenderloin that was more perfectly seasoned and fried. As good as the tenderloin was, the sandwich came with just lettuce,tomato, onion, and pickle on the side. I think it could have used some sort of sauce, even just mayo. (I realize it might beheresy to say that a pork tenderloin sandwich needs mayo...) Other than that, it was perfect. I'd recommend this place toanyone. Read more

This was my first time here. We met halfway with family for my wife's birthday, and I feel like it was a successful idea. The... appetizers (pretzels w/ beer cheese, chips and queso, and onion rings) were good. Special props to the queso, probably the bestI've had in general. We were a party of 6, and more often than not, in a bigger group, someone is going to have some kind ofissue with their food, and that was the case here. I was not a huge fan of the baked Mac and cheese (with crispy chicken added).The chicken was rubbery and seemed old, and just kind of killed my appetite for the dish. With that being said, I still gotplenty to eat between the appetizers and the side salad that I still came away satisfied. The service was a bit slow at the end(getting boxes/check) but they were absolutely packed and I would expect it to take a bit for those things with all of the otherservice going on. Overall, I still give this place 5 out of 5, because the food really was good and one simple mistake out of athe 15-17 plates that were served to us after sides and all are considered, is expected. These are humans, not robots, and areallowed mistakes. Would certainly come here again if I'm in the area! Read more

Awesome selection of beer, hard stuff, and great food! GET HERE!

They make a great fried pork tenderloin sandwich. The pork is thick and juicy with a nice crunchy brown crust.
