Bluff Lake, how I love thee. Worth the long drive, yes. Worth the long wait, yes. Worth communing with the cats out back, yes. Worth the long drive back, yes. Worth the price, yes. The all-you-can-eat whole catfish is by far the best around, and by around I mean all of Eastern Iowa. They also offer fillets of catfish as well. Which are also very good too, but for my tastes, the whole cat is where it's at! Catfish dinners also come with coleslaw, which is decent, fries, and dinner rolls with a whipped cinnamon-butter that is divine. You will not find better catfish anywhere. Be prepared, for awesome. Be prepared to WAIT to be seated. The dining area is average sized, but the crowds are out-sized. It is not uncommon to have to wait 1 hour +. Do not blame the staff, they are SLAMMED, this is not a fast food place. you're just going to have to wait for a table to open. If you get here, and find that the lot is not full, and your wait is only something like 10 minutes, consider yourself lucky, buy a lottery ticket before leaving town! One thing you should know though, no fountain pop/soda. If you want a Pepsi, it's gonna come in a can, and it's a $1.50 can, so a big family with a lot of thirsty kids can really rack up a big tab fast. Personally, when I get there, I order two cans right off the bat. The servers get crazy busy here, and you know you'll need a second can, make it easier on them, and just get the second can now, you know you'll need it.

Very popular with people from towns all around here, Bluff Lake is a fun place to go especially before taking in a drive-in movie at the nearby 61 Drive In. You can make it a day by taking the family to explore Maquoketa Caves State Park in the afternoon. Located just outside the park (you need to drive through it to get here), watch carefully for the signs. Fish is their specialty with heaping baskets of shrimp, haddock and of course catfish. They also have burgers, ribs, steaks and chicken on the menu. Most people come all-u-can-eat specials on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sundays. Be prepared for long waits on Friday and Saturday nights.

3 stars for the location.. Nothing else for the service and the food. I loved driving out to this place on such a beautiful day. However, actually going here might have been a bad idea as I don't like catfish.. :/ It has been a couple years since I have eaten here. Might have to give it another shot.

This is one of Maquoketa's landmark restaurants...it has been in business for a loooooong time, not sure why. It's way out in the boon docks, so be sure to get directions before you try to find it. You can almost hear that banjo playing that ditty from "Deliverance" as you wind down that gravel road that gets narrower and narrower. Their menu is easy... Thursday...deep fried chicken Friday...deep fried catfish Saturday...deep fried cod Sunday...deep fried shrimp OR chicken. All dishes are serveed with french fires and coleslaw. Not open on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and closed the entire month of December. I get cravings for Catfish...so I go maybe once a year to settle that "urge"...and I do like their coleslaw...it's pretty good. Other than that...just deep fried food as far as I'm concerned. Their service is good, always friendly. Some of the people working there have been there for years, and greet people like family.

So I went on this hiking adventure in Muquoketa state park. I went to see the caves and hoping to see the "Ice Cave" but it was closed. Oh well, I still had a blast exploring these other caves and getting plenty of exercise. Well by the time we got done with our day at the caves, we were plenty hungry. We were debating where to get something to eat. When we leaving we saw a sign that said Bluff lake restaurant. So we decided to go there. The place sits right next to Bluff Lake. So we go inside and ordered. I got the all you can eat fried chicken and fries. It was very good and well cooked. The place is somewhat small but who cares when the food is this good. Service was a little slow, but to be fair, it was super busy. For dinning experience with a lot of great scenery to look at while you eat and good old fashion cooking, this is great place to eat at. Also bring some bread for the ducks and geese that hang out on shore outside the place.
