Our Guestbook
“ Always friendly; always great food. The restaurant might be situated in the Midwest, but the servers offer a “southern charm” that set you at ease. The dining room is small and intimate, but quite cold in the autumn and winter since take-out orders are being picked up on a near constant basis through the main entrance. I typically sit in a window nook to avoid the blasts of cold air blowing through the open door. The only way to fix this is to open a new location for delivery and pickup, but that seems remote. So don’t leave your mittens and hats in the car because you may need them if you will be dining inside the restaurant during winter. One might be better joining the line of take-out orders and returning home than eating inside during colder months. If I could offer a suggestion for another dish to add to their menu, it would be Penne alla Vodka. This would add some diversity to their sauces, as it seems only one sauce is used in each pasta dish, therefore each pasta dish tastes nearly identical in flavor. Spaghetti, mostaccioli, lasagna; it tastes the same in my opinion. I would encourage the proprietors to explore the possibility of a an additional sauce and experiment. The only other sauce they seem to have is marinara as a dipping sauce, which is quite tasty. I am not partial to their pizza, but the rest of the menu is top-notch. Whatever improvements I feel might be needed for a tastier pizza, the quality of pizza Isle of Rhodes prepares is still light years ahead of Happy Joe’s on the same block and is quite impressive for a small, family owned eatery. Whether your heart is set on pizza, pasta, or Americana fare, Isle of Rhodes is ready to please your palate. ”
“ Very nice establishment. Physically small business. The lady at the front was also the waitress. Very good service. I shoulda counted but I didn't expect it, there was probably 20 to go orders between the time i got their and left. So they are pretty quick at making food. The gyro was very tasty, garlic cheese bread was good. It wasn't the style of pizza I prefer but it was still good, and with how many people had them to go clearly alot of people enjoy it. I think a small 1 topping pizza, garlic cheese bread, gyro and a soda was like 29 dollars or something, so not bad pricing. ”
“ We get Isle of Rhodes to-go relatively frequently, at least once a month. Normally we stick with some sort of pasta like the mostaccioli or even the pizza, but this time I decided to expand my horizons and try out the full submarine and dine-in! I had no idea it was going to be the size of my arm. It was decent, the bread got a little soggy from all the toppings so after awhile I just started tossing it to the side, but the sheer amount of food you get at this price point is very hard to beat. We also decided to try out appetizers for the first time from here and it did not disappoint; the cheese curds were fantastic! We ate them so fast I didn't even have time to get a photo. They are lightly battered and remind me of a curd from Culvers. I'm excited to try the rest of the appetizers now, especially since they are only 5. I took some photos of the updated menu, the ones on Zmenu are outdated. Being one of the few gems that exist in Morrison, I recommend this restaurant. ”
“ Isle of roads has always been the best restaurant in town ever since I was a little kid. I’ve eaten there at least twice a month for the past 30 years ”
“ Great food in general but love the pizza the sauce is amazing and so is the bread ”
“ We love this little hidden gem in downtown Morrison. The food is fabulous and so is the staff. Not many waitresses would run out to the sidewalk to see if the customer, who just left without his phone, is still in the vicinity. Small town kindness and their bread is superb. We'll be back again, and again! ”
“ Just a pickup order, but the pizza was absolutely delicious and the service was fast and friendly. This is our new go-to. Prices were also very reasonable. ”
“ Really good pizza. Loaded with toppings. Our waitress was so nice. Great food find on our road trip. ”
