Muscatine

Just for my own interests, I'd like to know what you all think about the local restaurant, the Button Factory. Even if you've not been there, maybe why not and what have you all heard? You'll all help me out a lot. Thanks.

My experience there

I've been there once with a group of about 12. I had heard quite a bit about their ''blackened steak'' so I thought it may be worth a try. I asked the server what cut of steak it was and got the reply of ''I don't know''. I asked him if he would find out and he brought a more ''experienced'' server out who also replied ''I don't know for certain but I think it's a shoulder cut''. Given this ''information'' I decided to opt out of the ''blackened steak'' idea and found something else on the menu that I usually enjoy. Sadly this was not the case here, my ''second choice'' was not a good meal. I asked the rest of the party in general conversation how they enjoyed their meals and got similar replies. They ranged from ''it was ok'' to ''not very good''.

All in all this is one place that I find myself not able to return to.

My thoughts

When it first opened, the food and service were both good. There's been a steady decline in both since that time.

The last time I went there I knew I probably wouldn't go back.

Never been there

However my wife and her friends have been and the quality has went downhill she says.
She brought home a menu and was not impressed with the offerings.
I guess I am a meat and potato type person.
I do enjoy a good salad bar and they are hard to find in my opinion.
