Whistlin' Donkey, Woodward IA

Great place to take a break when you're riding the High Trestle Trail. Drinks are inexpensive, free ice water, good food. I've gotten several different items off the menu and I have yet to be disappointed. The cheese balls are fantastic and make for a great snack. Conveniently located right off of the trail and easy access if you're staying at the campground. We always make it a point to stop here when we're riding bikes.

Place was active with bicyclist and locals. We were able to sit outside and order drinks and dinner. The Tenderlion was very good, could have a little more salt on the breading. Also had a crispy chicken sandwich which was outstanding. Only negative is we didn't get drink refills.

This was my first time to this place an well be my last time. First the place was not very full.waitress came took our drinks order with no gloves no mask, an stood right up close. When I got my water it was colored an tested of very weak tea. She took our order an told us it would be over 1 hr till we got our food. I'm not restaurant cook but I could cook different things at one time. At that time there was only 6 tables with people. We got there at 7 anatomy 750 she came out an told dave they dudnt have breaded tenderloin. But a gentleman came in after us got a tenderloin an there food before us. After rest if us was eating waitress came on wanted to fix him one, but who wants one then. She also didnt bring our bill so I went to counter to pay she rang it up to over 11.00. I told her no menu said club salad is 8.99 an that is all I had. Oh she said an charged 8.99 plus tax. I might be an old lady but I still have my mine an she was not going to charge me to much. Just to many things happened so we have no reason to come back. No tip was given for all that problems. I dont get out much so when I do no fun to have a time like that. Good luck in your business, but you do know best advertising is verbal good an bad.

Great food and wonderfully shaded patio. They also have a great camping area right off the High Trestle Trail. There's also a covered hammock hangout and fire pit there.
