Garrison's Pub N Grub - Essex

Excellent food, great atmosphere, fantastic service!

Fantastic place to grab a bite and a drink. Staff is very accommodating with table reservations. The peach bourbon sauce is fantastic on wings and with the fries!

After burning through the less than stellar eateries in Shenandoah we heard about this place. Excellent food and service, we will be back again!

Looked at the menu on the website before calling for take out, the menu has completely changed so o and to listen to the waitress tell me the items. Special was the fried walleye, for $17 (see picture). I assumed for this price it would be a fillet, but they were sort of grown up fish sticks, fish was dry and breading had soaked up a lot of oil. My husbands brisket sandwich was also dry, and the portions of his meal were underwhelming for the price. This is our second time ordering, the first experience when they first opened was much better, but not perfect.

A local bar and grill we have never been to until now!! Pros: the food is really good! We had the Pigs Wings (pork shanks) with peach bourbon sauce fantastic!! Better than chicken wings. My wife and I always disagree on bone vs boneless chicken wings this satisfies us both plus, did I mention they are delicious? !‽ They have a decent menu selection of pub grub and sandwiches. First time I 've seen a pastrami sandwich on a menu in Southwest Iowa (looking at you, everyone who has a Reuben but not Pastrami on your menus)Cris has a Porchetta Wrap which was very flavorful! The ambiance is was good, hopping for a Wednesday night. Decent TV selection. And you can reach 4 Pokestops from here. The service is excellent. The food is excellent. The tap beer is Cold. The Cons: Limited on tap selections. But at least they have Blue Moon along side your typical basic beers. All the chairs/tables are medium tall. Would be hard for someone bigger (like me) older or in a wheelchair to be comfortable for very long. Will definitely be back often and very soon!
