Elm’s Club

Not a bad place. The BBQ bacon burger was tasty. Waitress friendly. A little loud, but hey it’s a bar.

Never eaten food here… But I highly recommend going on Saturday nights from 9 – 12 for DOUBLE BUBBLE! Two drinks for the price of one. (More like 2 shots in one drink, for the price of one) or 2 beers for the $ of 1… You get it. Anyways. Good drinks here! They make anything you want!

Excellent tenderloin sandwich and great service– I can’t recommend this place enough!!!

So, I was just writing a review about the best breaded pork tenderloin sandwich I had ever eaten (Bridgeview, Rapids City, IL) and it reminded me of the second best tenderloin I had ever eaten — from the Elm’s Club in Creston, Iowa.
I was in town for a week or so way back in the winter of 2005, and I called down to the front desk of the motel I was staying in to see where I could get something good to eat. The clerk told me to try Pizza Ranch (HA!). So, My work partner and I decided to go out exploring.
Driving down elm street, we spotted a sign for the Elm’s Club «Drinks, Food, Pool» — well, I’m not much of a pool player, however, drinks and food I do tend to enjoy.
If you read my reviews, you know that I drink (a lot) — so I had several Pabst Blue Ribbons for an appetizer and my associate and I then decided to order some food. We each ordered a tenderloin (In a state with more hogs than people, you can very rarely go wrong with this). While we were both very inebriated, we agreed that this was one of the best tenderloins we had ever had. — I now rank this in my top two.
In fact, I liked this sandwich so much that I ordered one to go. After «staggering» back to the motel, I devoured my second tenderloin on my motel bed.
So, if you’re ever passing through Creston, Iowa on HIghway 34, or if you’re a railroader who gets stuck in the middle of Iowa on a regular basis, I highly recommend this little dive bar for a great bite to eat.
