Restaurants in Burlington

“Incredible! We were passing through on a road trip and found Jerry’s online. As soon as we stepped through the door we knew we’d hit the jackpot. Incredible place, even better food, and amazing service. If our word counts for anything, stop by even if it’s just as you’re headed through town. We won’t stop thinking about this place ever.”

“This is my favorite place to get a burger in Burlington! I love the environment and the service is great.”

“I am so sad we're moving away from the area because La Tavola has been one of our greatest delights in Burlington. Amazing Italian food. Do not miss their bruschetta! It will change your life, or at least your lunch. The place is so small and full of character. Go, now and make your reservation if eating later in the day, because you will need one. God bless you, La Tavola! May you enjoy customers aplenty. And you, dear reader, may you enjoy the wonders of La Tavola.”

“Was a great meal. Kinda wish I had a window seat but overall experience i give it a 10 out of 10. The food was wonderful and juicy. Our server took care of all our needs and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. The atmosphere was on pare with what I would expect from this level of a restaurant. Clean cool and a overall relaxing vibe. Apart from being in the middle of the restaurant without a view of the great Mississippi River it was comfortable and couldn't ask for much better!”

“I had a banana milk, just the pick me up I needed. The service was a team effort, working seamlessly together. If you have a pooch they are welcomed here. They have pooch vodka, a fun shop to stop at and have that coffee latte, espresso, etc. etc. etc..”

“Stopped in today for lunch for the first time. Everything was absolutely delicious 10 out of 10 the potato with all the ingredients had so much flavor and the macaroni cheese was awesome.”

“Fast, friendly service. Menu is big enough for choice without overwhelming you like some places with breakfast. Food was great, prices good and portions big. Definitely will go back and tey lunch next time.”

“The best Thai food. Friendly staff & the most delicious meals.”

“If you want a very good home cooked country breakfast then look no further than The Hungry Bear in Burlington, Iowa. The food here is absolutely delicious and made with genuine homemade ingredients. The flavor and seasoning in and on the food is absolutely amazing 👏. Oh and don't get me started on the portions of the food. They give you so much you will be taking leftovers home I can tell you that unless you're really hungry than you can probably handle the huge portions.
It's a nice little place tucked away in the downtown part of Burlington. The staff and waitress is very friendly and always checking in on you for a refill on your beverage and to make sure the food is good. Better get there early on the weekends because it does get busy but for good reasoning that food is something everyone wants. So go check it out you will enjoy each bite you take for sure.”

“It was awesome! We are from Chicago and our friends took us there for lunch and spirits. The people were very nice! Food was great! The local customers treat you like family! We will come back!”

“Saturday = Napoli's. period! Thank You Mike!”

“Stopped in tonight after a long day and not wanting to cook. The bartender was so friendly and helpful and didn’t pressure us to drink (we’re sober). Best burger I have had in iowa and the tots were so crispy!!! We will definitely be back, just make sure you have cash because they don’t take cards but they do have an ATM!!! 12/10 recommend.”

“Great environment and very nice bartender! As well as the best old fashioned you will ever have. Cannot recommend more!”

“Hi 👋🏻, Coming into Joe's Inn has always felt like a home away from Home. The earlier years coming in with my dad: I couldn't see up over the bar: but I was treated like a king...Full speed ahead the people and the place still keep the good times rolling 😀”

“I've been to the Burlington location multiple times since it opened. I've never had a bad experience at all. All the staff working there are super polite and amazing. I love how they all work together and act goofy just to make everyone smile. I've had plenty of rough mornings and after getting my coffee, drive away laughing so hard I can barely breath. Keep up the amazing work all of my 7brew Burlington crew, your all amazing and thank you for so many laughs and amazing drinks!!!!”

Made me feel like I was on a tropical vacation in the middle of Burlington Iowa.”

“Haven't had Godfather's Pizza in *many* years. Gave this a try while visiting the area. It was surprisingly good and highly reminiscent of what I remember Godfather's Pizza being back in the 1990's. Classic Combo was thick, meaty, cheesy, and tasty. The Golden Pan crust was quite nice too - lightly crisped with a buttery appeal. Pizza was just coming out of the oven exactly 20 minutes after ordering through the app (app predicted 40 minutes). Pickup inside the Jet Stop was super quick and simple, in and out in about 20 seconds. Pleased in all respects. Will definitely do this again when in the area.”

“Great food and service. Will be back”

“Great restaurant. They have a sublime lunch and dinner menus. Their food is phenomenal. It is a tremendous restaurant and location. Southern Justin is a great employee at Mazzio's.”

“Came in for brunch buffet. Prime rib was great.Very Limited selection on other food. Definitely not all the foods listed on there description! And they add a18%" buffet gratuity" to your bill!”

“Had a great time with Book Club tonight. Clayton is the best waiter ever!”

“I just had the Thai chicken wrap. it was the first time for me eating at Jimmy John's. It was the best wrap I've ever had! This will be my go to place this summer!”

“My husband and I tried Cashus while we were in Iowa for the holidays. We highly recommend! The owner is very friendly and the food was exceptional. We also tried a piece of their White Christmas cake; it was a 10/10! We will be back!”

“Normally I have no issues. However, today I had one of the girls get a really nasty sarcastic attitude when I went to pick my order. She was busy, and I totally understand that, which is why I was trying to let her keep working and tell my name to the lady who was actually asking. This girl then asked my name and I repeated myself with some volume due to the noise…I assumed she couldn’t hear me. She then mumbled under her breath “well excuse me” and go back to what she was working on. Not very thrilled today by my experience.”

“Great owner, great service, great food. Very laid back and amazing service. 100/10 . 🥰”

“Their seasonings are amazing and it is veteran owned which makes it that much better 🥰”

“Hunt Brothers Pizza is a great pizza for anybody searching for really good tasting food the employees are always very respectful their Pizza is also never undercooked or overcooked it is always just right with a perfect amount of toppings”

“First godfathers pizza in decades and it did not disappoint. Excellent!! Very clean store and it was a great pizza! They lady working got us the best deal for what we ordered. We will order again!!”

“Food was good hot and fresh
Service was great friendly and respectful
I did think its crazy how they have people standing outside taking orders with money in bags on there hips just out in the open no taser or pepper spray to defend themselves”

“went in for lunch today. very good bbq! clean environment and friendly staff. may be my new go to lunch spot 👌”

“their BBQ Food is amazing”

“The food was great. We all liked our orders. I had the mushroom spinach shrimp quesadilla 10/10. My daughter and my son had steak fries and the sampler. They loved it.
The guy was pretty slow to take are order and everything maybe he’s new but once are order was placed the food came out quick and was delicious”

“Very clean, helpful and full of great choices. The food taste great! My favorites are the BBQ ribs, crab rangoon, peanut chicken, fried potatoes and even good salad!”

“They don't take walk in customers reservations only. The place was empty there were more employees then customers and they claimed they were fully booked for the night. The staff is so busy they can't even greet people but are plenty rude enough to run customers right out of the door. They didn't even offer to order takeout just run business out the door. Being a "small" business shouldn't mean not taking customers if possible. Do not fall for the good reviews as we did they are incredibly deceiving. The first thing on their page should be weekend reservations only because they want the restaurant 3/4 empty at all times. I could understand not getting to dine-in if the restaurant was full but that was not the case. On top of that we were not even offered to order takeout. There was very little parking near the restaurant but the people weren't there for sushi they were at the Italian restaurant next door.”

“We absolutely love Ana! She’s always so polite and cheerful. Some of the best burgers, fries and concrete mixers in town. Oh and our pup looks forward to getting her pup cup every Sunday!”

“The Bier-Cheese Pizza was amazing, thank you!”

“The DQs in Burlington have the LARGEST size large of any DQ we have been to (in this state and others). They're HUGE! The large cup size at other stores is the size of a medium here. Bring your appetite and grab a lid so you can freeze the left-overs.”

“I travel all over the country for work. This is one of the best Panera bread locations I have visited. They are fast, friendly, and the location is clean. Hats off to the management team.”

“I just want to thank the staff! It’s been a long week and I just wanted to order some coffee. My delivery was brought with no coffee 😭… they were very nice about it got me a new one an sent a second one as well. It was very much appreciated thank you!”

“I was on vacation and a good breaded pork tenderloin sandwich is my favorite. This was one of the best.. From what I could view the place is almost emaculenty clean.”

“The men’s bathroom and the dining room was very clean. The staff were friendly and polite. Our food came out hot and full of flavor. I love Arby’s brisket. Great location.”

“Great service, great food. ever time.”

“Always excellent service from my day crew.❤️👍🏻❤️👍🏻”

“The young lady and gentleman working 7:30pmish on 5/25/26 made an excellent sandwich! They were slightly busy but was super friendly and moved fast! Didn’t have to wait and most everybody was in and out fairly quick! Super awesome people! And my favorite subway in town to order from! Thank you”

“Good dine in experience. Taco Salad was on point. Customer service was good. Tv's on would be a nice addition. Gift cards were up front and ready to load.

Thank you.”

“We would like to extend our thanks to Pizza Ranch for the excellent catering service they provided. Their support played a special role in our Lonnie Winston Memorial Scholarship initiative at Southeastern Community College PLUS their gracious donations for our attendees.”

“They closed the sonic that was near me so it had been awhile since I've had sonic. I miss it lol. Burgers were big & the milkshake was huuuge & very thick 🔥”

“The food was really good. Our server was Cortny Brown and she is truly great. Always smiling and pleasant. She comes back several times to check on us and is just all-around a credit to Applebee's.”
