The two RV Gypsies liked the inside and outside of this restaurant. They ate there twice in one week, which is unusual for them, especially since Karen Duquette is not a big pizza fan. Yes, the name of the restaurant is Taco Jerry's but they also specialize in pizza. As stated on the outside of the building 1-13 toppings no extra charge (yes thirteen toppings). Both of the two RV Gypsies really loved the pizza and would call it the best pizza they ever had.

The decor on the walls was very nice, but Lee and Karen Duquette cannot say the same for the food, or the service.

Sally's Restaurant

Forest City, Iowa 50436
phone: -'641.585.3400 for days, hours and other information.

The two RV Gypsies ate here in 2016 and also in previous years when they were in Forest City. The food was inexpensive and OK, but nothing special. Karen Duquette thought that the Chili was very bland.

Forest City, Iowa 50436
phone: -'641.582.2245 for hours and other information.

Karen Duquette liked the chimichanga here, but the beans were extremely runny. The margarita was OK. It was not busy on this date and the service was good, but it took awhile to get the bill.

Lee and Karen Duquette visited their friend Phyllis Faulkner, who lived in Ankeny, Iowa. (Please scroll down for more inforamtion about Phyllis)

They took Phyllis to dinner at The Fletcher Kitchen and Bar. The Food was very good and well-portioned. The restaurant was busy, but service was efficient. The restaurant was very large because it used to be a full-sized grocery store.

After dinner, Lee and Karen Duquette returned to their friend's house in Iowa for coffee and desert.
Thank you Phyllis Faulkner. Karen Duquette is very thankful to have you and other friends throughout the USA to visit while traveling.

Karen Duquette and her friend Phyllis

candleUNFORTUANTLY, Karen Duquette looked up Phyllis Faulkner and found out that she passed away on November 5, 2019. She was survived by 3 children, Sandra Kovac (who Karen knew in Florida) John Faulkner and Jacquelyn Komplin. Phyllis had five other grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Phyllis once worked in wholesale distribution, was an editor for a farm production magazine and enjoyed being an elementary school substitute teacher. She finished her career as a real estate agent and was a member of Ankeny Christian Church. Karen will always miss Phyllis.
