“From the moment we walked in, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our big day. The space is absolutely beautiful—modern, elegant, and welcoming. But what really made it special was the incredible team behind it all. The staff -especially Melissa-at The Hotel at Kirkwood went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They were organized, responsive, and genuinely kind throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, everything was flawless—from the setup to the food to the flow of the evening. Our guests were raving about the venue, and we felt so supported every step of the way. If you're looking for a wedding location that combines style, comfort, and top-notch service, we can't recommend The Hotel at Kirkwood enough!”

“We love this place, Its a hidden gem in a stripe mall. You would never think such a good super nice, clean restaurant would be in there. 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. I like the small croutons they use, so much easier to eat. I actually think they would do much more business if they had their own stand a lone restaurant.”

“We used Up In Smoke for our wedding last weekend 09.20.25, and we have nothing but good to say! The beans were great, the Mac n cheese is to die for, the pork was mine and my husband’s favorite. The cost blew everyone else out of the water, they left Togo boxes- brought utensils, sauces and great attitudes! Highly recommend and will continue to recommend them! Thank you Up In Smoke for catering us and treating us very well!”

“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 here, we're going to be back.
This is in the old Mexican restaurant location. It's a great upgrade from that.
Wife ordered the Monti-cristo (however it's spelled) with fries and a drink. Huge sandwich, took half of it home for dinner. She absolutely loved it.
I had the Ruben with fries and a iced tea.
Why are all fries in Iowa these thin shoestring things? Steak fries are wonderful.
Anyway, the Ruben was very good, thick cuts of meat piled high, good crunch on the bread. It held up all the way through, wasn't soggy at all.
Decent price, for the two of us it was around $50 with tip included.
If you're looking for a NE sports bar every seat seems to be facing multiple large TV's.”

“We love this place, Its a hidden gem in a stripe mall. You would never think such a good super nice, clean restaurant would be in there. 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. I like the small croutons they use, so much easier to eat. I actually think they would do much more business if they had their own stand a lone restaurant.”

“Great food! The owner also has a food truck, which is typically parked outside. The food here is top notch Mexican fare, including a pretty extensive menu, with several types of burritos, tacos, quesadillas, nachos and other dishes. Everything I have tried here is very good.”
Bakery • $
“I have been there a half-dozen times, the food is always amazing from the shrimp po-boy to the jambilaya (my favorite). The owner is a Cajun fellow and GWOT veteran. I love when their kids are running around the shop learning the business. I wish I had a sweet tooth because the cakes and sweets look amazing. I recommend this place to all my friends and coworkers.”

I have to admit it's hard to rate service five stars these days, but I can't hold it against any of the staff. It's just the way companies are staffed to these days.”
