We have a local football team that won the championship last year and we were looking for a gift for the coaches, when we approached the owners for gift certificates, they quickly added a donation to the coaches themselves and the coaches said they had an excellent meal. The cost and comparison to how much food that you get is where I believe they get " Lotawata Creek"

I've had the opportunity to dine at Lotawata Creek on several occassions and have never been dissappointed. The food is beyond excellent and the service is equally rated. The owner, Ken Archer plays a major role in the running of the restaurant and continually looks for ways to improve. Over the years, this restaurant has been rated number 1 by local polls and area polls. The quantity of food is unreal. You seldom leave without a takeout box. They have a website at www.lotawata.com that shows pictures of the food. Have a look and you will agree with me that the food is the best in the midwest.

I'm lucky enough to live just ten minutes away and we love to eat there. The portions are huge. Our favorite is the onion rings with the spicy ranch dipping sauce. The dessert nachos are really good too. It sounds like it wouldn't be, but it's yummy.
