One of my "Golden Years" pleasures is traveling and discovering new territory close to home. Recently, one of my tipsters from Marshalltown told me about an eatery on the edge of Princeton, Iowa. This is small town just north of Le Claire on the Mississippi River.
The name of the place is called the Go Fish. It sits right on the river and was built up in case of flooding. The view was fantastic and although they were not serving out on the outdoor patio area, we were allowed to take our food out and enjoy the beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon the day before Easter.
At least the day was not wasted with the view and glorious sunshine. All I can say is the food was second rate and very disappointing. The upside was that the Tastee Freez down the street served fantastic ice-cream just like the Tastee Freez once did in Marshalltown on south Center Street. Matter of fact that little place was packed with a whopping dozen people, all enjoying what appeared to be juicy burgers or tenderloins and with a great view of the river across the street. Will visit here next time.
What's the old saying about when one window closes another window will open? It sure was nice to get out of Dodge for the afternoon. Remember! You can't win them all.
