Mt Hamill Tap and Restaurant in Donnellson

Great food and great service! The best chicken around!

Food was good. Service was ok.

Best food I’ve ever had. Just sad I live so far away. Worth the occasional road trip

Great place to eat!

If you’re in SE Iowa, this is a place you must find! It’s out in the middle of nowhere, but on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights, they serve the most wonderful chicken around! It has a unique crust that I’ve not had anywhere else! It’s the place everyone has to hit when they’re home for a visit!

Great Pork Loin and PIE!

GREAT CHICKEN!

The fried chicken is delicious and the beer is plentiful. So good

Out of the way place, but a great small town Midwestern feel. Best fried chicken plates for miles around.

Local legend at a very good price, known for outstanding fried chicken. Don't be suprised by a two hour wait due to popularity, or slightly worn environment at the expense of tradition and overwhelming crowds.

Natives from Henry, Lee and Van Buren county always gravitate home to Hamil. Coldest beer, best crusty chicken!!

Great place. Large lunch portions.

The food was great, it did take awhile. We had an extra large group and didn't call ahead, the staff handled it great. The service and food quality more than make up for the wait. This is the most crisp chicken I have had to date.

The fried chicken delicious

Loved it. The service was perfect!!

They have really good beer batter chicken.

The chicken and Mount Hamill tap is the best I've ever eaten. Great food prices great staff.

Best chicken I have ever had

Great chicken!!! Good atmosphere and good people.

Best chicken I've ever had. It was extra crispy and juicy. It was a Friday night and it was pretty busy, but we were served rather quickly. I'd recommend this casual off the road tavern.

Excellent food!

I know this place very well. I’ve always grown up with it my whole life until I moved away. The tap is a very special tap that serves the BEST meals ever!!!!! I fully 1000000% recommend this place to go eat out or to go to when you want to have fun!! The people and workers are very kind people and they take care of you like their own family. I have many many memories of this place and the town also. I wish I could take a trip to the tap and visit for a while this month!

Love the chicken. Price is very reasonable. Worth the trip.

Awesome food!

Good chicken

Sometimes busy and the wait staff takes a while, but food is worth the wait.

Chicken is always great!

Love this local pub and the good is great

Wished I could give higher rank. First time there to try the chicken waited 1.5 hours and finally got our chicken after several large groups that came in after us. Not sure what happened. Chicken is batter breaded and would be good if a spice package and salt were added to it. A bit greasy. Very cheap so it's hard to be to rough on them but the best chicken in Iowa is a bit of an exaggeration.

Very busy but still had great service. Found out why it is ranked number 1 chicken in the state.

Comfortable bar/restaurant, very typical of the midwest.

Good place to get drunk

I live in Michigan and have family in IA. This is a "must stop" for me any time I'm back. Consistently the BEST fried chicken anywhere. The atmosphere is exactly what you should expect for the location - a perfect combination.

Great chicken and cheap beer. We go here all the time. It can get crowded sometimes!

Very nice place, they definitely are doing it right. Great place to eat or hang out

We love this place! Great chicken, wonderful wait staff.

Wait for food was long. I thought that the chicken was excellent and as an added bonus you can get all white, dark, or mixed. Served piping hot, nice crispy coating, juicy. Plenty of other options on the menu if you're not a fried chicken fanatic.

Yum! Still the best for chicken!

Love the chicken.

Some of the best fried chicken in the midwest. It can take a little time to get your food on Friday or Saturday night but its worth the time.

Best chicken! Best service!

Holy cow. Went there tonight and the service was the worst I have experienced anywhere. The wait was so long for everything and they failed to bring simple requests such as ranch dipping sauces. The waitress didn't seem to care at all. They served glasses with cracks in them, when asked they said they weren't allowed to throw them away...? The chicken isn't as good as everyone says it is either. The breading was very salty.

Tasty chicken! Friendly and fast wait staff. The cost of the meal was very reasonable! We are going back!

It's the best chicken in the world. Awesome salad bar. Ask for crispies.

Went here about eleven years ago and still think about this delicious chicken. Simply the best. Seriously.

Always great! I have gone there for years!

Always excellent food service is slow though

Amazing!!! love there chicken😁

Very cozy place even though it is off the main road. They serve good food. Had a good tenderloin and french fries. A little pricy but woeth the drive. Wednesday night is, all you can eat Chicken.

If they are busy it takes forever to get your food. But when the food is perfection, i'm okay with waiting.
