I'm in Iowa, and I'm hungry
See All Lists
1. Zins
I really liked Zins, the food, the service, and the atmosphere were all top notch.
We had a reservation for 8 on a Saturday night, but I don't think that was really necessary. The restaurant wasn't full and cleared out by 9. No offense to the rest…More »
2. The Breakfast House Cafe
This is my favorite restaurant in Cedar Rapids, for a few reasons. First, I love breakfast. I love getting up early and going out for breakfast. Second, the service is always friendly and efficient. Third, the food is always delicious.
When I'm…More »

Yum! I'm so glad I found this little breakfast cafe. It's almost centrally located in Cedar Rapids,… Read more »
3. Brewed Awakenings
I've have lunch and drinks here a few more times in the past month or so. Every thing has been very tasty. I start to get annoyed when my food isn't ready immediatly, but then I remember that they are actually making the food, it's not already made…More »

I really like this place. The menu is pretty big for in-house made lunch and drinks too. The sofa's… Read more »
4. Brewed Awakenings
It is so nice that St Luke's has an independent coffee shop within it's walls. In a town like Cedar Rapids where everything is kinda spread out, it can be a bit of a hassle to leave the hospital and drive to the closest coffee or lunch spot, and the…More »
5. Aladdin
I'm so glad I found Aladdin. And! It's close to my moms place.
The staff are all friendly and professional. The food is really good. Large portions at reasonable prices. Nice atmosphere. What more can I ask for? Oh, and they have a fairly large…More »
6. Papa's Pita
FREE PITA!! I enjoyed 7 delicious pitas (mostly breakfast pitas) and then got the 8th free!!!! I love punch cards, they give me a goal and a sense of accomplishment. And who doesn't like being told their meal is FREE!
The kid (in my head, he's about…More »

I've been searching and searching for quick and healthy food in Cedar Rapids, Papa's Pita is in my… Read more »
7. Downtown Farmers Market
First off, lets call it what it is people, it's a french market, not a farmers market.
Supposedly one of the largest 'farmers' markets in the Midwest, and I'd believe it. At least 8 blocks of produce, meat, baked goods, jewelry, crafts, and street…More »
8. Dublin City Pub
Either I'm getting over Dublin or it's going down hill. The change of staff behind the bar is not good. I watched the one bartender for a while Friday night and I swear she did not smile once. Not. Once. I'm not asking for a foolish grin all…More »

I really like this place. It's a nice sports bar with good food and friendly service.
They have an… Read more »
9. Biaggi's Ristorante Italiano
For what it is, a chain Italian restaurant, it's one of the best in the area.
I've been here a few times and never been disappointed. Last night I had the butternut squash ravioli, it was uber yummy. The sauce was very good, a brown butter and sage…More »
10. The Flying Wienie
It's a beautiful day in Cedar Rapids, all sunny and warm outside, a day that just begs for eating a hot dog, fries, and a Dr Pepper outside in the sun. Unfortunately, the Flying Wienie does not have enough tables outside to accommodate the droves of…More »

I know it's wrong, but I do it anyway. I know how hot dogs are made, I loathe 99% of processed food,… Read more »
11. Vino's Ristorante
First off, this place is really easy to miss. There is no big sign above the door like the other businesses in the strip mall. The only sign is a neon sign in the window.
The service was just ok. Although I'm not totally sure if they are going for a…More »
12. Joensy's Restaurant
I was warned it would be big, but I didn't expect it to be that big. I was a little frightened that I couldn't handle the whole thing at one time. It was actually bigger than my head. I'm talking about the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich at Joensy's…More »
13. Butterfly Cafe
Nice little diner for breakfast. It's not a huge place, but it's nice for a diner.
The service was good. I didn't wait to be served and he was very attentive, but not overly attentive. He didn't bother us while we were eating, but I didn't have to…More »
14. Irish Democrat
Eh, I'm not a huge fan of the Irish Democrat, but it's ok. I think it's definitely more of a restaurant than a bar, and that's disappointing.
On a few different occasions I've ended up at the Irish Democrat on a weekend evening thinking they'd be…More »
15. Sushi House
Definitely not the best sushi in town, and the service is sorely lacking. Really the only reason I come back to Sushi House is because it's close to my moms and I like the snow mountain roll.
The guy who is usually at the front counter is just…More »

16. Coffee Emporium the
I needed to get out of the house but I needed somewhere I could work remotely from (read: Must have wifi) and get some breakfast. I found the Coffee Emporium down town Cedar Rapids and settled in for half a day.
It's a small coffee shop, just a…More »
