This was good. We had burgers as they are famous for it. They were good but needed a little salt. Chips and broccoli salad were good too.

4.4Wow, this was a surprise. The small town of Centerville has an interesting and large town square and Yelp led us here for lunch. The service was perfection and the food was very good. The fries were the biggest surprise, and fantastic and real as they come. Almost unheard of anymore. Even the cocktails were by the book.Great Job!

Lucile's steak and spirits sits in the beautifully restored historic Continental hotel. (John Wick fans, nope...not that one) Actually beautiful is an understatement...more like stunning. Upon entering, you are greeted by quite possibly the friendliest, warm hearted staff you'll ever encounter. These gals know how to work a room! Oh, yeah...I guess food is also served here lol. This is a very 'American' menu, if there ever was one. Lunch features a good deal of regional options, many I've never actually ever heard of. Cheese curds, fried pickles, and what's Iowa corn nuggets? Turns out the Iowa corn nuggets is a deep fried corn fritter. Sweet on the inside, perfectly crispy on the outside. I also go for the Reuben which happens to be the item of choice for most visitors. Personally not a fan of Ruebens, but this is a nicely built sandwich with very high quality ingredients...down to the sourkrout and rye bread. Lucile's is a good pick for a high quality lunch in an even higher quality setting. Not at all knocking the meal, but the historical property is what will leave a lasting impression.

The location is charming and the staff are friendly. Our waitress was excellent and very pleasant. This is definitely the place to go if you are in Centerville. The menu features stories from the Hotel's long history. We are vegetarians traveling through town, so our menu choices were limited to grilled cheese and variety of salads or wraps. I ordered a Mediterranean spinach salad and was surprised to get a mound of warm rice topped with hummus artfully surrounded by veggies, feta and olives. Actually everything was fresh and tasty, it was just a surprise. My husband said his grilled cheese was fine. The selection of beers on tap was good and I enjoyed my IPA. We will come back again when we are in town.

My ribeye steak was cooked to perfection. The loaded baked potato and house salad were okay. I also liked the carrot cake.

Excelleent staff, great location, easy parking, a broad menu from steaks to burgers, salads and salmon. A well stocked bar. We ate there 4 nights in a row we liked it so much, from scratch cooking. We had Salmon, Shrimp, Sirloin, BarBQue special, salads and other items, all were fresh, tasty and hot foods hot. Some of the best wait staff we have had in years. Best full service restaurant for miles around Centerville IA.

I want to start out by saying the service was not that great. The drinks were alright. The food though was not good at all. I ordered the spinach and grain salad and was given a handful of spinach, a tablespoon of feta, 5 cherry tomatoes cut in half, a teaspoon of hummus, and 5 olives. They also forgot the grains! This was also not made like a salad at all, it looked like a sampler plate made by someone who hates their food touching. Everything had its own designated spot and did not touch each other which is super odd for a $11 salad of such a tiny proportion. My spouse got the ribeye which was under seasoned and half an inch thick which was shocking for the price. We genuinely wanted to love this place, but unfortunately it was a miss for us.
