Stopped in for late dinner. I had the Pizza burger and hubby had a Ruben. Yummy! Service was friendly and fast. Great home town Christmas decorations and cool things to look at as you eat. We would stop again. If you go in the winter time their hours are different from website and they close at 9 PM.

The service seemed to be lacking. We sat there for approximately 10 minutes and I had to get up and ask somebody to come over and take our order. The young lady said she did not see us walk in. We placed our order and we did not get our soup or salad until after the entree came. Two entrees came out and one did not. And we still waited approximately 5 to 7 minutes before getting the final entry. Then we had to ask where our soup and salad was. The young lady didn't seem to have a clue. The steak that one of us ordered was hardly edible. Paying $21.95 for a steak and not being able to eat it was

Embers is a lovely place in Avoca Iowa. The picture you have chosen for this does not match what Amber's looks like it's a family-owned restaurant and very nice with the black and white checkered tablecloths very nice people very good food and reasonable prices

Usually this is a good place to eat but tonight we sat there for 10 min just waiting for them to wait on us. Then another 10 for our drinks. When she finally brought our food it had sat in the window so long it was cold, the other Waitress offered to bring our food but our Waitress told her no and then left it to sit for 15 minutes. I am very disappointed and probably won't be back.

Well, I'm in Iowa, so ... gotta have some beef. The Embers is home-grown; not a huge selection on the menu, primarily comfort/diner food. Not expensive, & absolutely fabulous. The staff was friendly & the atmosphere very honey. If you're in Avoca, this is a must.

2 stars. One word SALTY. If you like salty food, this is your place! We ordered 3 walleye dishes, all 3 were extremely salty and expensive! The broiled walleye was the worst, the sauce was overly salted, as if everything was saturated in salt. The Texas toasts were also very salty. Only good dish was the kids spaghetti. We have been on the road for 8 hrs and could not eat any of it. One person ended up eating it all because he didn’t mind the food. Bathroom ran out of soap.

My grilled cheese sandwich was supposed to have four pieces of cheese on it. I was served two pieces of bread barely toasted with one piece of cheese on it not even melted. I had to send it back and wait for another one. Not impressed. Sorry

This restaurant is listed as open until 10. We walked in the door at 9:30. The lady could not have been more rude, and yelled "we're closed" in the roughest way possible - practically like it was out of a movie. All the lights were on, the door was open for us to walk in. Even if they had decided to close early, the lady could have been kind to us, but she barked at us instead. I would suggest not giving them your business, unless you enjoy that sort of harsh rudeness. Also, perhaps they should move into the new century and change their hours on Google.

Looking for a family cooked meals. This place has several of plates to choose from. The prices are not bad and the food was decent.
The service was very nice and friendly. If I'm in the area I'll definitely stop by.
