“Loved this place but it has gone down hill. Service was horrible. Food cold. 3 people standing at hostress stand, 1 being the manager. I went up and asked for some ketchup that we had been waiting for about 15 minutes. 3 out of 7 in our party had finished their meals. The manager was nasty to me stating "We are Busy" He did get it but by then the sandwhich wasn't good.”

“This was a great stop on a 1,000 mile road trip. Easy to get to off the interstate and only option we could find find that wasn’t either fast food or fried bar food, but with fresh, classic options.
Clean, a bit upscale on atmosphere but we felt fine there being casually dressed. Service was great and food delicious!
If we’re ever in the area again, we’ll be back!”

Pubs • $$
“Absolutely phenomenal drinks and service. The owner served us and made us the most delicious drinks. I haven't traditionally been a huge fan of the drinks they gave us but the way they made them changed my mind and now I can never have them any other way. The old fashioned, espresso martini, and chocolate orange martini were so good. There was a gentleman selling plants and vinyls also who was super friendly and played great music.
Definitely my new favorite place. Very clean, wonderful cozy environment and the owner was a blast to be around.”

We Live in Waterloo so this is our treat when we come to Cedar Rapids. The service here is always fantastic! The food is so good and you get nice size portions, for me they are actually huge because I don't eat much. The rolls are to die for and I personally love their salads.

“It's an Olive Garden, so you know what you're going to get in terms of food/menu when you walk in the door. What set apart our experience tonight was how well the staff accommodated our family with small children. There were high chairs and coloring menus in place for the tykes before we reached the table. Our server, Ashton, was understanding of our fidgety, noisy crew, and made sure we had extra forks and crayons. When another chocolate milk was needed, he was prompt with it so none of the kids went without for long. This was not our first time having a positive experience as a family outing here and I saw several other families having a good time. Tonight's stuck out well enough to write about.”

“Almost Famous in Newbo has never disappointed, but my experience today far exceeded anything I could have imagined! I went in with a very specific need--9 bags of the Crunch Berry popcorn mix. I'm attending a conference next week and need to bring a snack that represents where I live. Almost Famous is my go-to and popcorn is much easier to travel with than a case of Busch Light and Casey's pizza! There were no mini bags and no Crunch Berry on hand. The sweet gal working the counter helped me brainstorm alternatives, then suggested I talk to the owner who happened to be there. He said he has some at their production facility a few minutes away if I had time to follow him over there. He took time out of his weekend to help me out AND sent me with a few extra bags for my kids! I'm so thankful for the awesome small businesses and business owners in this community! Go getcha some popcorn!!!”

“I was waiting for my car to be ready for pickup at a friend’s mechanic shop and I walked into SuYu Pei on 16th Ave SW for lunch at 1:15 today (Thursday) and was greeted immediately and told I could sit wherever I’d like. Not even 20 seconds later my waiter, Leo, showed up and told me about the lunch specials: For $10, you can choose from a large list of lunch items, each including an entree, side of rice, and a cheese Rangoon! He could tell I was stuck with all of the choices so he asked me what kinds of things I normally liked and recommended his favorite dish, so that’s what I chose. I ordered the Sichuan with chicken, but you can also order it with beef, shrimp or tofu. I’m not lying when I say the food came out, piping hot, in about three minutes. Anyone who knows me knows I love sauce. I didn’t have to get any extra sauce for this bad boy, it was sauuuuucy! 😍 The white rice was nice and sticky, the way it’s supposed to be, and the cheese Rangoon was crispy on the edges and soft and all the way filled in the middle. Leo was so knowledgeable about the menu and fun to talk to, not to mention quick at noticing and asking for refills or if I needed anything else. I even found out that we knew a lot of the same people and we talked and laughed about that fact for a few minutes. After he brought me a box for the rest of my food, I told him my car was getting worked on at a shop nearby so I might sit a while longer if that was ok, and he looked concerned and told me the area wasn’t super great for walking and asked me if I needed a ride back to the shop! Talk about customer service! I’m currently still sitting in the booth at SuYu Pei, but if I didn’t want to be, I could be in and out in 20 minutes easily. With the amazing customer service, super tasty food, and quick delivery times, If you’re looking for somewhere to stop on your lunch break, this is definitely the place!”

“First time at Cheddar’s and I have to say, they did a fine job with the food.
I never expected a restaurant to serve complimentary croissants to customers. Those croissants were light and flaky, excellent quality overall. I didn’t expect the sweet glaze on them; I thought it was okay but felt the croissants would be better without them (I usually prefer my croissants savory).
My order of bourbon glazed salmon and shrimp was delicious. The salmon was cooked just right, flaky and tender, not dry at all. The shrimp were tasty too, nice and plump.
As for the sides, I enjoyed the red beans and rice. I thought the dish had a good amount of salt. The pork helped amplify the dish too. The broccoli cheese casserole was pretty good; not too cheesy and fairly tender broccoli. I just wish that dish was hotter. It felt a bit lukewarm.
Our waitress was very nice and attentive. She did an excellent job helping us with our food.
Overall, I’ll definitely keep Cheddar’s on my list of restaurants to revisit. With food and customer service this good, they more than earned my respect.”

“This McDonald's is literally night and day... During the day... GREAT! everyone is super sweet and I swear management never takes a day off but then late night... Not so great...they aren't the worst but if ur someone who values customer service then don't go here after midnight... Let's say the response time is 😴”

“There is so much to love about Anh’s! I have a major sweet tooth and nothing found in big chain stores compares to her baked goods. She makes it super easy to see her menu for the day on FB and IG, and even takes orders over messenger so I can pick up later in the day without worrying something will be sold out. I have to shout out the front staff too, they’re always so kind and welcoming! My favorite treats so far: Korean cream cheese bun, cinnamon roll, cowboy cookies, and extra delicious pistachio cream bun. Also, try the shokupan!”

“AWESOME PIZZA!!!! Crust is flavorful, large slices, sausage with penne was phenominal. Ravioli has some spiciness to it but is DELICIOUS! We will be back!”

Coffee Shops • $
“Love this place! A drink for anyone and everyone. Coffee is amazing and inexpensive compared to $tarbux and I love their 7energy as well with all the flavor combos. Their cold foam is also delicious! Didn’t take me long to get a free drink either with their point system”
“Best fine dining restaurant in Cedar Rapids. My wife and I had dinner here tonight for our Anniversary. The Niman Ranch Flat Iron was one of the best plates of food I’ve ever had. Service was exceptional all around. 10/10 - no notes.”
