This is an exceptionally well-written and well-considered review. The Northwestern Steak House in Mason City is my favorite restaurant in Iowa. Appreciate how Wini includes other nuggets in her columns in addition to the main feature review. She puts the work in!
I grew up in Mason City and graduated from HS with Bill. My grandparents,parents, and family have all been going here for over 60 years. I have never had a better steak anywhere! Throw in some ice cream from Birdsall’s, if you have any room, and it makes for a perfect evening.
My high school English teacher (Rockford, Iowa), John Cazanas, would talk about this steak house. Interesting tidbit, Mr. Cazanas was a finalist in the Teacher in Space program for The Challenger. He was a great teacher.

Confident! Yes. Confidence is a quality I love to find in a restaurant.
