Excellent breaded tenderloin & awesome staff.

On 8/10/2026 Kira M. had this to say:
Delicious food and very cool bridge & view of the Cedar River. Food is good (I recommend the clam strips- my personal favorite!) beer only no liquor.

On 7/27/2026 Jan Douglas Hess had this to say:
Quiet Sunday afternoon ride capped off with lunch of breaded tenderloin, my indicator of a quality kitchen. It appears and tastes as if their reputation is founded in fact. I found it tender and moist with just the right amount of breading. Sandwich hid a basket of crinkle fries hidden underneath. My friends went on about the burgers, so it sounds like I'll be back.

On 7/27/2026 Frank Haege had this to say:
Baxa’s Sutliff Store & Tavern is one of those classic Iowa places that never disappoints. The location along the historic Sutliff Bridge and Cedar River is hard to beat, whether you’re stopping in after a ride, bringing friends from out of town, or just looking for a relaxing afternoon. The food is consistently great, the drinks are cold, and the staff makes you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. It’s the perfect mix of small-town charm, history, and hospitality. If you haven’t been, put it on your list—you won’t regret it. Baxa’s Sutliff Store & Tavern
