15 Best Bar & Grill near Fairfax

“My hometown bar I grew up in and love. Great service and good food. But God damn the prices to eat, have a couple drinks, and leave a decent tip are God damn outrageous. Doubt I'll be back anytime soon. I don't know how people can even afford to go there.“

“Loved this place, it’s funky enough to make a west coast hipster blush. The coolest location that’s kind of in a neighborhood kind of in the shadows if downtown Cedar Rapids and on the outskirts of the new Big Grove and Pickle Palace tourist traps sits this authentic, homegrown funky spot. The patio and and fire pits are to die for. The bar makes one want to belly up and drink the day away like a cowboy fresh of the trail. Keep it local LPSF!“

“Went on a date night to try somewhere new. Our server was so nice and informative about the menu. Both tried two of the burgers and were happy and went home full. Loved that you could pick salad, fries, or soup of the day for the side. Will 100% go again and recommend to everybody. ❤️“

“Came in yesterday for breakfast and ordered the "Shipwreck". Came out quick, hot, and all ingredients were fresh! Asked the server who was cooking for us and she said Stephanie.... if she's the one cooking all the time, we will definitely be back!“

“Had breakfast. Everything was cooked perfectly. Their cocktail menu looked amazing, gonna be back to try that apple old fashioned. Service was wonderful. My buddy had the sliders and they looked great, so I know what I'm ordering next time!“

“Zeppelins is such a wonderful experience every single time we go. The food is near perfection, I love that this restaurant has a gluten free menu and takes allergies seriously. I have never had any issues while eating at this restaurant. The happy hour that runs everyday is such always a bonus on top of the wonderful and excellent service we receive from the staff.I wanna give a special shoutout to Ben, who is such a wonderful server and just perfection. He is always excited to see us, makes us feel welcomed and wanted there. He always remembers our drinks, checks out throughout the night and always says when the bill is given he is still around if needed. He is always a pleasure and we love asking for him! We appreciate you!I would also like to give another shoutout to Maddie who is always at the hostess stand, she always make sure we feel special, always has the gluten free menu for us and recalls our name. She’s always a light to our visit, we always love walking in and she’s there and welcoming us like old friends. We appreciate you so much!!Dietary restrictions: They can handle dairy allergy and gluten allergy!“

“This has quickly become one of my favorite places to hang out. While performing karaoke isn't my thing, I love watching other people. DJ Wyatt is my personal favorite. He has this amazing ability to bring the bar together. The bartenders are fast and friendly. Fried Pickle fries and pepper jack balls are to die for. I am pretty sure the left dart board is lucky.“

“Appetizers were okay. Cheese filled egg rolls.I had a the hot and creamy burger with sriracha bacon and cream cheese. It had a little too much cream cheese for my liking. Sometimes less is more. The burger quality was good. Overall taste okay.My husband had a tenderloin which was dark meat. Very porky, fries were okay, not great and the cider was excellent.The waitress was very excellent, kind, courteous and served with a smile. She tried to leave for the day without collecting her tip. We asked her to come over so that we could tip her and then we also gave a tip to the lady that checked us out.“

“It was our first time dining today! I am from Waterloo and drive by often when in CR and have always wanted to try. Not only were the food and drinks amazing but, the servers were extremely friendly and helpful. I cant wait to visit again.“

“Fried chicken gizzards done right!Not many places you can get gizzards, and when you do, they’re usually so tough you can’t eat em. Not here! These gizzards are prepped and fried to perfection!I highly recommend the Angle Inn’s fried gizzards. Get em, you’ll be glad you did.“

“I just moved to Cedar Rapids recently to live on the river and wanted to find a nice spot to eat and have a drink after work, rumors fits the bill perfectly. They have a new food menu with specials that are cost effective and delicious. The chicken sandwich for $8 is a steal because it's massive and comes with fresh veggies. Apple pie shots for $3 are also a delicious no-brainer, definitely found my new neighborhood bar! Silver Fox kitchen staff is friendly and so is the bartender gal. They all work efficiently.Parking: Private lot“

“Had a great time, loved the atmosphere. Great music, fast friendly service .Great tasting food and drinks Aaron and his staff were a delight .Definitely recommend for that Cheers type of environment.Parking: On street parking available but parked in the parkade“

“We have stopped and had lunch here 4 times now. Usually on Saturday and Sundays when we are in town. I'm always impressed with the food, price and service. If you don't want to miss the game, don't worry. They have plenty of TVs, each showing a different game. Kind of our go to place now when visiting CR.“

“Pretty solid place for what it is. Beer was cold, staff was great. I can see how parking can be an issue at times, but easy walk from hotel. Pork tenderloin sandwich was very good, but could be excellent by pounding it thin. Just retained too much oil from frying. I'd come back.“

“In Cedar Rapids for business. Found this gem in an industrial park to watch the Iowa game. Menu is more than handhelds and fried barf-ood. Prices were extremely reasonable and portions generous! Salad was a pleasant suprise of spring mix and crunchy mini cucumbers plus other ingredients! Food arrived timely and well prepared. I thoroughly enjoyed the broasted chicken with honey drizzeled roasted brussel sprouts. Our 1/2 order of nachos was delicious and more than enough to share. From salad to nachos all produce was fresh. Clean and pleasant decor. Plenty of TV's to watch Iowa for the win. Server kept us supplied with cold beer! Great, great local pub experience!!!“
