“I went here with my siblings tonight for the 1st time and we had a great experience. Good food and good service from Mario. My favorites were the taro tempura, shumai, the scallop hibachi, the sushi, fried tofu, and green tea ice cream. We definetly will be coming back.”
“Discovered this establishment from a sign on the interstate. Stopped in for lunch. The establishment was very clean and well maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was great. We recommend stopping by when you are in the area. We will definitely return when we are in town.”
“Tried Taco Gato through DoorDash for the first time on a whim. Blown away. The tacos are so good! And don’t let the Bento box fool you…it’s easily enough sides for 2 or 3 meals unless you’re super hungry. I got the 5 sides because I was curious about different dishes- it will probably take me a week to get through them all. The salad…even the salad was amazing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“First time being here and the experience was awesome! Such a fun atmosphere. Waiters were pulling people on dance floor and having a great time. All of the servers took time to make sure we were taken care of. Food and margaritas were very good. Very fun and friendly atmosphere. Our new favorite place! Highly recommend!”
“Best pizza I've ever had! I'm not a big fan of red sauce so loved the option to have olive oil, mozzarella and garlic instead. We had 3 individual pizzas with added toppings and pop and our bill was only $33. Our server, Rich, was outstanding! Wish I hadn't waited so long to try it. We'll be back soon!”
“Super awesome pizza. they nailed the New York style! and that's coming from an East Coast boy. had the queen Margarita and the Supreme and I highly recommend both of them. you won't go wrong here. the service is also great and the owner came in personally talked to us. great experience, great food”
“They say the best way to a man's heart is through food—am I about to marry the owner? No. But I will say this: it’s hands down the best meal I’ve had in the U.S. so far. The way the spices harmonise with the meat is a masterpiece, letting the natural flavours shine while the spices create a symphony of aromas that’s pure heaven.”

“ate here today for 2nd time lately. wife had everything omlete breakfast for 16 bucks(outrageous price), I got ham and cheese and muchroom omlete breakfast and was 14 bucks. waitress never once checked on us after a rude lady dropped off our food. I couldn't get a water refill at all. we waited for 15 minutes after eating and finally went to front Counter since Noone brought us a check. gal at front desk was pretty rude when I let her know i was not very happy with service but she didn't care, didn't even get I'm sorry for your experience or anything. last time I will eat at this location. also the seat coverings are ripped up and uncomfortable.”
“after finding me in the dumpster, instead of being afraid or warning me off the manager actually asked me if I needed something to eat. I was treated to an ever bowl and it was amazing. absolutely delicious. being a vegetarian, and not a very good one I don't really get nutrition like I should. Both workers were absolutely amazing, cheerful and had a wonderful attitude towards their fellow human being. I recommend this place greatly. thank you so much for the new food experience.”
“We ordered a tiramisu for our family Christmas dinner dessert. It was absolutely fabulous. I would definitely use the baker again -very easy to work with ! John P McGrane”
“Food was amazing! Fried green tomatoes best I've ever had! Loved the bread and options of butter spends, very unique! Service was top grade! 10/10”

“Overall, nothing spectacular about this location. I do like the new and improved kiosk ordering system. It is very straightforward so friendly and intuitive. The drawback to these new kiosks is the fact that I have nobody to blame but myself and my order is messed up. Lol.
Parking: The parking lot at this location is crazy. It’s like going through a maze at an amusement park.”
“We do quarterly meetings where all staff members between the 3 locations meet. County Line BBQ & Catering catered our meeting today. If you ever had to coordinate food for a large group of people, you know its no easy task to satisfy everyone. County Line's Spud Bar did NOT disappoint. The potato's were some of the BIGGEST potato's our staff have ever seen. Their apple crisp was to die for, and the mac n cheese was compared to KFC and Chick-Fil-A's. If you are looking for a catering business HAH would highly recommend County Line! Barb was also VERY easy to communicate with and was apply to cater to what we were asking of her. Thank You!”
“Italian beef was superb! Next time I would try stuffed pizza, just didn't have time. Stopped thru quick on a road trip and glad we took a chance on this place not knowing anything about it. Great staff, chef came up to us to ask how it was. Melody was our bartender/server and she was amazing!”
“Traditional wings are meaty. Burgers were cooked to order (medium). Beverage glasses were always refilled without being told. Bathrooms are clean. Their staff really like their jobs & care about your experience while you are there. Food is priced right, very affordable.”

“We love our weekend trips to Kismet! They always have creative and tasty specials, as well as beautiful flower arrangements to look at while you wait. Literally the best espresso in Cedar Rapids and the friendliest people. We recommend Kismet to everybody we can!”
“Papa Murphy pizza is on our list of the pizzas we sometimes crave. Since the pizza is a take-and-bake, we like to upgrade our pizza with our own favorite toppings. If you like sweet and salty, try adding green olives to their Hawaiian. Or maybe you have a favorite sausage or cheese to toss on. Be creative and enjoy.”

“Shawnniecakes helped with providing desserts for our guests at our wedding reception. We ordered an array of options and everything turned out amazing! The cheesecakes stole the show, I was told, they ran out quickly! Putting in our order was easy and they even delivered for us on the day of. I could not recommend Shawnniecakes enough whether you’re in need of catering or a bite to eat for lunch!”
“Seriously where to begin… absolutely fantastic lunch and afternoon there with friends! Our waitress was top notch, probably one of the best, if not the best we’ve had anywhere. Anyone who can juggle our table of 6 adults and 4 kids (under 10) so flawlessly deserves a shoutout. HANNAH is a 10/10! We were able to have a tour of the brewery with Doug and Chad. They answered all our random questions about not just beer, but the culinary side of things as well, and made us feel like we’ve been friends for a long time. If the day wasn’t already great, add in the stellar beers/drinks and wonderful food too. We all live farther away (over an hour) but are already talking about when we can meet up at Big Grove again.”

“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!”
“Just started using local roasted coffee beans for our daily coffee at home. Dash was the first one my husband and I tried. It was absolutely amazing. Just a warning, we went from drinking one cup of coffee and being happy to needing that second cup because it just tasted so smooth.”
“I don’t know how they find the nicest staff but I feel like every single staff person I’ve encountered is genuinely happy. They are always fast, always seem to have ample staffing and I have never once had a mistake with my order(and I go far too often). Whoever runs CFA needs to run for President 🤣”
“Came down to The Red Frog to try their Pork Belly Mac and Cheese and it did not disappoint! The Spicy Cauliflower app was also on point! Can’t wait to return and check out the other yummy things their menu has to offer. Great atmosphere and the staff was terrific! 🤩”
“This is one of the old original Dairy Queen's. No indoor seating, just a walk up window. No burgers or fries just ice cream ice cream ice cream! I used to come here as a kid. Great memories, very nostalgic. Same benches out front, same little windows that seem like to hide a magical land world of treats
, and then ice cream comes out!! Take a ride to the past and get a Dilly bar, banana split, or dipped cone here.”
“Stopped in on a random Saturday and Carly was an amazing host. she was fun and great to talk to. Had 2 "tastings" of 5 4oz oz pours. THE BEERS ARE AMAZING!! Bought some to go beers and cant wait to visit again(from Chicago burbs)!!!”
“love the food and the amount that you get is to good to be true for the price you pay”

“Love the homemade chips, guacamole, salsa. The tostadas were very flavorful as well as the tamales and rice. Very nice couple that owns it and invited us back as well. Will definitely return for the pleasant atmosphere and delicious food! Extremely friendly service!”
“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.”
“I came here with my dad the other day for the first time, just walking in the parking lot it smells amazing already, the inside is beautiful, the food smells delicious and the service was top tier! Definitely somewhere I’ll be returning and letting others know about!”
“We went for Easter brunch and the staff did an amazing job and the food was great”
“We celebrated Valentine’s Day late last night. We had the Wild Mushroom Arancini, 8oz filet, and Blackened Salmon. We thought everything was wonderful! I had a few cocktails as well and both were great and service was excellent! This was our second time here and we will definitely be back in the future!”
“Awesome staff person; We were grounded April 30, 2022, and the only thing open was this place, But your lady in charge kept the bar open and was serving chicken fingers, grilled cheese and fries to Hungry fliers asap along with her kitchen help, with a smile and speed. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! This young lady is a keeper whoever she is.!”
“Cannot say enough good about the staff here. Just nice people. Hours are spotty and being out of an essential ingredient sucks, but everywhere is affected by that.”

“I always enjoy the garlic parmasan boneless wings. I love their tots. I love the mountain dew legend. I will be back soon for more....”
“So my husband and I told ourselves never again would we go back to Buffalo Wild Wings. My coworker suggested going even after I told her about our experience there from bartender Dottie every time we have gone in she completely ignored us we have to ask her for everything. But we decided to go in again and we sat at the bar as usual but it wasn’t Dottie this time the bartender is Miss Tara she is so fast doesn’t even need to write anything down and literally listen to all my needs. I recommend you to go when she is working I watched her go into the kitchen an help them cook. I want Miss Tara to know we appreciate her service very much”

“McJason was such a great manager, I was order 267 and he said it very loud so I could hear it. McJason is such a kind fellow although I would recommend him growing a bit of hair, because his bald head is very shiny (almost blinded me). I ordered a couple creamy ranch sauces in the bathroom with him #lol ??”

Delicious food; fish & chips, chicken wrap, cheeseburger and chocolate cake.

Friendly, checked on us frequently, helpful recommendations, great service. Thank you, Taylor!
The only suggestion I have is to replace or repair the booth seat. It's ripped.”
