Nestled in the heart of Waukon, Iowa, The Old Rossville Store combines small-town charm with an inviting supper club ambiance. Reviews from patrons highlight its exceptional offerings, particularly the prime rib, which emerges as a standout dish.

The availability of dishes like broasted chicken and an array of steaks, from ribeye to Iowa chop, ensures there's something for everyone.

Reviews For The Old Rossville Store

I really enjoy a place that has the Old Supper Club feel. The Old Rossville has that exact feeling. A good Salad Bar is a must and they don't disappoint !! They even had my favorite..a large bowl of Pickled Herring ! My Prime Rib was cooked perfectly and I just needed to add a little Garlic Salt and my beloved Black Pepper and it was golden !! For just 6 more I got three deep fried Jumbo Shrimp. All this at a extremely reasonable price. Definitely zero room for dessert.

We almost went elsewhere but read that place's reviews directing us to come here... good save! Our group is staying at the Decorah High Point Cabins for the weekend looking for local flavor. Boy, did we find it at the Old Rossville Store! From steaks to chicken to the Friday night cod it was all cooked and served to delicious perfection! My husband's pork tenderloin was the only low point of the meal because it appeared to have come straight out of the freezer into the fryer (leaving him with broasted cod envy) but other than that we couldn't find fault. The food, service, atmosphere, and price easily make this the best meal anyone in our group has enjoyed in years. Thank you!

The prime rib special was excellent! The atmosphere is very small town casual and the wait staff was incredibly friendly. They have a very nice little salad bar that comes with most meals, it has your normal fixings of potato and pasta salads, lettuce with various toppings and dressings, and two different kinds of soup. I got a baked potato as my vegetable of choice and it was cooked perfectly. The prime rib was seasoned quite well, had good flavor, and was served with au jus. A very good experience!

OMG, the Prime Rib and Shrimp Dinner is to die for! Make sure you ask to have cut horseradish with your dinner! Josh and his crew does a great job, even in these times of Covid.

Food was delicious with good portions. Service was also very good. The large battered shrimp are amazing and so is the battered cod. Highly recommend.
