Steamboat Garden Tavern

  I went with my husband once to this establishment if you think cottage cheese or lettuce salad is the creme de le creme of side dish...then this is your place.  Vinyl booths with worn out decor. Very small portions and for some reason when I first heard Steamboat Gardens I wasn't expecting a dirty worn out diner. Who requires people to run their own check up anymore?

  Family fave!!!!!!!!! Long standing local resturant. Run by a awsome guy.. Yes it's a little different but it makes the place great. Its a place to grab a tugboat and greasy food. Homemade onion rights to die for.

  This place is a throw back, another weird Waterloo dining institution, literally.  Enjoyed the classic environment, service and comfy bar.  Food was as expected but prices compensated.   I recommend for a unique dining experience for its local charm.  This isn't your rural Iowa chain, just a ligit institution.

  Are you kidding? Those tenderloins are off the hook.  And no, I'm not over 65.

  Good food, nice specials. Try the Homemade Onion Rings they are awesome. Don;t come looking for Organic food, you won;t find it here.

  My husband has been coming to eat at this business for over 50 years, he remembers when it was in the shape of an actual boat.  Since we have been married it is one of the best places for us to visit when we stop in Waterloo.  The bar is the best!!  The food is great and very resonalbly priced ---Try it out and check out the daily specials.  We now live in Florida and have wonderful memories of this great comfort food place...It belongs on your bucket list....and I am not close to 65 years old!!!
  
  We plan to stop by this week, when we are in town--to say Hi to Joel!!  See you there.

  i know some locals over 65 years of age love it, so if you meet that criteria, or just enjoy adventuring into dives....I mean I had to try it once right...
