The Fort Diner,

801 Avenue H, Fort Madison, IA 52627

"Just ate here, the food and service were exceptional. The pepper jack cheese balls are a must get. Everything was hot and fresh made right in front of you, we will definitely return."

"Great food from a classic diner! Better value and quality than any of the places with a drive through."

"A definite hole-in-the-wall place that delivers wonderfully expert food creations and great hometown service. We were passing through and decided to try this place. From the exterior it appeared questionable and a kind of a dump. It gets cozy inside, but the staff is friendly and regular customers are a treat. The one cook was cooking as fast as he could and delivered an amazing meal! We were very impressed and wished we had one closer to us. Would like to visit again."

"These are some of my favorite places to eat. I'm from Des Moines, and this reminded me of George the Chile King Drive-in. The style, atmosphere, food, everything you want from a diner! This place has it. Overlooking the mighty Mississippi River. In my opinion you can't beat great food, good people and a view of a River."

"Not a bad little diner! CASH ONLY! The diner itself is a very small space, but that really wasn’t a problem. I came in on a Saturday morning and ordered the special, chicken fried steak. It was excellent all around and came out in a timely manner. I didn’t catch the name of the chef cooking that day, but the tall gentleman working the grill on the afternoon of Saturday, August 13th was extremely friendly and did a fantastic job with my food. Great work!"
