"I was given this recommendation by a friend after asking for a suggested place for a decent burger. Turns out after looking over the menu, that I opted for BBQ instead. I have no idea how the burgers are here, but every bite of the BBQ I had was amazing! My wife and I split two dishes, one was a grilled chicken, cheese, bacon sandwich, and the other was I think called the motherlode? The sandwich was incredible! The chicken was smoky and yet still juicy and tender. The brisket, and pulled pork were equally delicious if not better. Every single bite was better than the last. Portions were reasonable and prices were fair too. We'll be back!"

"the quarry is one of my favorite restaurants we have ever visited! we look forward to having lunch or dinner here every time we are close to the opposite! the crooked bisque, crabcake, duck, scallops are all amazing, but the skallop cap is one of the best things I ever had in my life and the osso bucco is the best booze I've ever eaten! The steak egg rolls are over the top delicious too! we also like their long island iced tea! this is one of some restaurants in the country where we order splurge several appetizers as well as tempts to share and taste some of everything! we look forward to spending 150-$200 because it is so good! no picture of the appetizers before we ate them!"

"My family and decided to visit Las Palmas in their newest location. We have not been to their restaurant since they moved down the street. We are so happy we did. I was barely able to tell the conversion of the old Ruby Tuesdays. It was such a wonderful change over. The interior was warm and inviting despite the COVID19 restrictions. The restaurant was immaculately clean. We were warmly greeted by both the hostess and our server. Our young man was awesome. I never did get his name. I ordered the San Diego which was chili rellenos with rice and beans. The chilis were coated lightly and filled with good amounts of queso. The beans were smooth and the flavor was delightful. It brought back memories of eating in small town cafes in NM. The dish was excellent. We also ordered the Tacos De Carne Asada which came as a build your own. The meat had a slightly smoked flavored. It really was multiple layers of flavor. The pico was fresh. I felt it needed a little more onion and heat; however, it was just right for a person that like a little less heat. It came with fresh avocado, beans and other goodies. I would really suggest it. My partner in crime had the Steak mini tacos which had the same meat. You get plenty of meat in the four small 4-5 in tortillas. They come with grilled onions and a side of Charro beans. The Charro beans were my favorite part of the dish. So many layers of flavor from the beans to the bacon and onion. It supposed to be used as the sauce in the mini taco, I was eating out of the bowl with a spoon. We also had a cheeseburger and an order of mac&cheese for the children. I think they were okay as they were downed pretty quick and I got the normal kid answer of meh when I asked them their teenage thoughts . During our entire service, our server was on the spot. His customer service skills were above par despite the fact he was having to wear a face mask and gloves. His service skills are top shelf. I would highly recommend visiting Las Palmas in the near future. I know I will as I want to try everything on the menu. Give it a go. It is off the Chain!!"

"I moved away from Mason City 13 years ago. I have family in the southern MN and when I visit them, I try to come back to Mason City and eat in the NW Steakhouse! I travel over 600 miles to eat there, it's a real treat. Thank you for always a high quality meal worth every penny (and mile):"
