Two years ago I would have given them 1 star for poor service but they have really cleaned that up and become a must stop on the trail. Decent food, usually a cheap special. Inside or outside seating option and fair beer selection. Not the Iowa Tap Room, but better than your average small town bar. Pull off the trail and give them a try. One wish is that they opened earlier on weekend mornings for us early risers

Stopped while riding the trail, stopped while driving through town and I’d agree with other reviewers. Average food at a reasonable price. I’ve mostly had beers while riding the trail. On one occasion we stopped in for their taco night. The price was right but the taco was marginal. They fry the shell then fill it with normal taco ingredients. It was dry and loaded with lettuce and cheese. I’d stick to the usual lounge food here, burgers and wings. You can never go wrong with something from the flat top or fryer. I love the back patio it is huge and can accommodate our whole biking team. The staff are great with making sure you have a cold beer. I don’t think we went up to the bar once and the place is almost always busy. Cold water in a cooler to fill your water jug as you headed back out on the trail. We always stop here when we ride the High Trestle Trail.

The Nite Hawk is a friendly local bar cleverly perched along the Slater High Trestle Trail. There is nothing fancy about this pub, the food is average at best, but there is a nice laid back vibe and good drink selection. Staff always friendly and helpful. Good place for a relaxing drink. Would be a great place with a creative chef.

The Nite Hawk is one of many popular stopping points on the highly popular High Trestle Trail. It is your best bet for sustenance and refreshment in Slater, Iowa since the demise of another Bar & Grill in the area due to fire. Nite Hawk has two seating areas. An indoor area that seems geared toward the«townies» and an outdoor bar that serves patrons adjacent to the trail through several open garage doors and patio furniture in a shady area. Bicycle parking is available as a rope. I’ve found the beer selection here to be limited to domestics. This is one of two locations adjacent to the bike trail to offer waiter service to bikers, and on both occasions I’ve found the service to be slow during fairly average levels of activity. Notable hot wings, and solid burgers here off a single page menu of standard fare. Good for a respite and refreshment on the trail, or a solid meal if you happen to be in Slater.

When I do a review I try to base it on what the place«is» or what the place is trying to accomplish. That being said, Night Hawk is a nice, clean small-town neighborhood bar. It is located right off the High Trestle Trail. I am an avid bicycle rider and rate this place AWESOME! You may he wondering why not five stars. To be honest, during peak times they are understaffed. Even when they are super busy the staff is still friendly and they hustle. It just may take you longer than you are used to, to get a drink. I’ve had a quick bite here on occasion the food rates high for pub food. Good value and consistent. If you are in Slater for some reason or you are on the trail, make a pit stop at The Night Hawk.
