We stopped here to pick up a sandwich and take it back to our room. Ordered a tenderloin and an extra bun as the tenderloin feeds two easily. They forgot the extra bun so I had to go back and get one. That was disappointing. The prices have increased substantially since our last visit which was a surprise.
We enjoyed our sandwich but hope they don’t price themselves out of the market. They also charge 4% more if you use a credit or debit card.

We were in Bloomfield, visiting a relative. This was our first time in IA. We were told that they have good food. My husband order a King size prime rib and I order the Chicken cordon blue. My husband orders prim rib quite often, everywhere we go- He was not impressed with the cut of meat and how it was cooked. I order the chicken cordon blue with mash potatoes and gravy on the side. I got a hard breaded deep fried crunchy chicken (when I cut it the corner of the breading just came out intact) and it had barely any ham in the middle of the chicken and it had some white gravy on top (just not my thing). I got the mash potatoes smothered on gravy. I did order a Tanqueray and tonic that was a decent drink.

The hotel rooms are very roomy and there are large fridges in the rooms. The pillows are fabulous and the parking is very convenient to the rooms. There is no breakfast per SE, but was provided with a large bran muffin and coffee so that was sufficient (the coffee was very good and hot!). We ate lunch in the cafe that adjoins the hotel and the food did not disappoint. Quality ingredients and friendly service. We appreciate a good night's sleep and excellent meals.

South fork Grill in Bloomfield is top notch in service and food. We were greeted by the sweetest young lady with a great big smile and a hearty hello. Our waiter Zane quickly took our order . He was very efficient , polite and a nice young man. We were able to talk with the manager/owner and she was so pleasant and apologetic that our food was taking longer than usual due to several big outside orders and 2 large parties who arrived prior to us. She offered us a dessert on the house. We took it to go because we were so full. I had the fried chicken and the hubs a half pound REAL meat burger. The beef is raised by a local rancher and he said it was DELICIOUS! Give them a try if you are in the neighborhood. You won’t be disappointed.

We were returning after trying their tenderloin on a previous trip. We decided to test the other menu items. One of us did try the tenderloin and was not disappointed. Literally the biggest, and well prepared one such you can find. My wife ordered the French dip sandwich. It wasn’t good. The meat was dried out which you’d think wouldn’t be possible when you are dipping it into ah jus. It was salty but that’s pretty much normal for this menu item. I had the grilled chicken breast. It was truly huge. It was also dried out and edible/ flavorful but not really very palatable. We were having a good family outing and I don’t usually send things back so I’m addressing this in this format. Seriously, if you’re doing a grilled chicken breast don’t over cook it by degrees of at least twice what would have been good.
Other items were pretty good. The chicken strips were nice. The smothered rib eye was delicious and it was devoured. Salads were great and some home made dressings. A big loaf of fresh baked bread was nice; good not great. Desserts were splendid. All made in house and so creamy rich. We tried the banana cream pie. Really extraordinary. The waitress said the secret is cream. It was like silk. Another was chocolate cream pie. Again, a home run. Our waitress was really helpful and made the evening out a treat. Nice atmosphere clean and kitschy with the rural then you expect from the location. Will be back and go back to the tenderloin.

Stay away. This area has very few eateries. It was about 2:30 and we were very hungry for lunch so we stopped in. It appeared very clean and a few others were eating already. When we ordered we asked if the bar was open and the server stated they had lost their liquor license and couldn't serve alcohol. Two of us ordered the hot beef figuring since the roast beef dinner was the special it should be pretty good. The salad was great (though the honey mustard dressing was horrid), there was no flavor at all to the gravy, instant mashed potato, green beans or beef (which was a cheap lunch meat, not roast beef). I tried my husband's corn nuggets for flavor to make I hadn't come down with covid. The corn nugget had plenty of flavor, The other person that ordered the hot beef agreed no flavor, but had our spouses taste it. They said they couldn't eat it. It is obvious they are running on the cheap and probably won't be open much longer even with the lack of restaurants in the area. By the way the service was great.

We were in town for appointments and stopped in to Southfork Grill. Hubby and I both had the Redneck Ribeye. It’s a Chicken Fried Steak with Mashed Potatoes covered in white gravy and Greenbeans or Peas. It was fantastic. The Gravy tasted homemade with real mashed potatoes. The ice tea was really good
If you haven’t been here you are missing excellent food and a reasonable price. Y’all need to come try it. Service was excellent.
We will be back. Their Onion Rings are really good too.

Ahhhh-mazing tenderloin! It was so big we split the order. They give you each a bun and sides when you do. My hubby said it was the best tenderloin he’s ever had! We ordered the onion strings as well and it was a huge order and delicious. Service was good and place was clean. We will be back!

The tenderloins that hubby and I shared was overcooked. Crunchy and way too thin.
The hot beef for our guest had so much gravy on it, and pepper in it that she couldn't eat it.
So overall was a very disappointing dinner!

Great customer service and welcoming feeling. It was like a home away from home. Had a restaurant on site to make it more convenient

If you are wanting to go out to eat then this is basically the only choice you have so with that being said there isn't much to compare it to. Other then that food is average and the place seems clean which is extremely important.

The food is good, they make their own ranch dressing and it is delicious. The fried pickle spears are awesome! It's the best choice in town for a set down meal. Wait staff is always very friendly and on top of things.
