“my wife and I were passing through and had to stop! our bartender Kady was top notch and the local patrons were wonderful to talk with. the food... the food was great!! we had the jack mac and the French dip. 5/5 on the recommendation. 🤙🍻💯“

“I tried your restaurant today and it was so delicious. Everyone was so friendly and I will be back. Thank you so much.💖“

“Great food, great service love watching On Iowa Live there on Monday’s . Great location just minutes from Alexandra Apartments where I work and my residents love it too.“

“it was so good. Friendly atmosphere 🥰 super nice ladies working ❤️“

“I would give them a five-star if they would actually provide enough salsa. They already don't give you enough salsa and then when you ask for extra that still isn't enough. Very small containers compared to the queso. That's really my only complaint otherwise they're usually really really nice and a good place to chill.“

“Tailgaters is one of the few venues in Cedar Rapids that consistently brings in good musical acts. The bartenders are generally great. It can be hit-or-miss there have been times when I felt the service was a bit sub par. But that is the exception rather than the rule. The owner is there frequently and he likes to make sure a good time is had by all.“

“Katelyn was a server amazing service and friendly great pizza and fish“

“The events held here are amazing!!“

“First thing I thought was that the place could use a little renovation. Bushwoods looked kind of worn and the parking lot has a couple of potholes that need filling.

The place was pretty busy when I got there; no surprise since it was Saturday evening. If you go there on a weekend and you order food, expect to wait. The service was fine but they could really use some extra employees to help manage the orders better.

The server who went around my area was pleasant and helped out promptly when a guy accidentally spilled his drink. Props to her for efficiency and courtesy.

I only ordered some cheese fries and they were quite tasty. The ranch sauce was a welcome accompaniment to the dish and the fries didn’t skimp on the bacon. I had considered getting the chicken nachos but the sheer size drove me away (something like that ought to be shared among several people).

I’m not big on bars but all things considered, the service was respectable and I enjoyed the food I ordered.

Parking: Pretty good sized parking lot. You should be able to find a spot here. Just mind the potholes.“

“Great food! Great staff hidden gem“

“My boyfriend and I came in last night and we both got the OG Street Tacos. They were great! The cocktails were great as well! It was our 3rd time in and we will definitely be back. The service was quick and attentive.“

“What an inviting & friendly place!! Melody was such an awesome bartender!!

Mikayla is a top notch chef! Seriously, tastes out of this world.

“Absolutely the best gyro I have had in CR. Absolutely love their food it never disappoints“

“Fun atmosphere and great food. Lacey was very freindly.“

“Nice place. Good music playing on the jukebox. Met a nice gal, I think her name was, Gina. Not busy when I was there but a very welcoming group of regulars made me feel welcome and the bartender, possibly owner, seems like a really good guy. Say hi to Gina(?) for me.

Parking: They had a parking lot and I think it was mostly paved. I walked from my hotel as it only took 2 minutes more to walk.“

“Troy and his crew always deliver a top notch bar & dining experience.“

“Avelo Airlines could someday be a possibility for the Eastern Iowa Airport.“

“Great food-not your average bar food of what fits in a fryer-its eally good, tasty,, homenade items! Always very clean, well made drinks, and fast too!“

“So fun! Pretty laid back during the week, then gets busy at the weekend. The owner Kurt, is a long-time bar owner (since '82 I believe), is a very personable guy who knows his industry! He can give tons of historical info on establishments in Cedar Rapids downtown area.“

“I absolutely love this place Its so amazing the staff is sweet the waitresses are so nice so heart warming So kind. They always make you feel so welcome there.

“Fun place... excellent food and great people!!“

“My daughter and I got invited out to dinner with my parents, niece, and nephew. While out for dinner, my daughter who is 5 and Autistic started displaying that she was overstimulated and was screaming and as most would call "throwing a tantrum". Several had looked and I told my nephew that just because my kid has Autism doesn't mean that she should have to be excluded from going out because of her disability. When I felt like I was becoming overwhelmed, a young man who was either a server or bused tables stopped by my table and told me completely understood how I felt because he too had a 5 year old Autistic son and discussed the whole difficulty having to wait to have his son diagnosed. To hear him discuss this with me and make me feel a lot calmer and as if I wasn't doing anything wrong and shouldn't be ashamed of taking my child out was really amazing. Our server was also very polite about the situation. I know several would have told me that I had to calm my child or leave, but this young lady stayed calm and kept her cool. I wish I had got both their names, but they definitely showed me how kind humanity really is. Both really deserve a raise and the server definitely deserved the $10 tip we left her.“

“My husband and I went for a late lunch. It was a beautiful day out so we sat on the patio. Excellent service and great food choices. We will definitely be back!“

“Easy to order on their app! Food done at time they said. Very friendly lady brought our order out "curbside" & told us if we wanted to nibble fries were @ the bottom🙂I never had tried their "Riblets"? But I really enjoyed them👍🏼

Parking: Located right by Lindale Mall! So very easy to find 🙂

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes they DO have Handicap Parking right by the curbside pick up!“

“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....“
