We try to visit Lark Brewing once or twice a month - they have new specials every single week. My favorite beer is here: Berry Potter and the Deathly Mallows. The Brussels sprouts. The cauliflower wings. I could go on and on. And not to be forgotten, they have a great atmosphere for me to bring my daughter; there’s even a kid’s toy corner, which makes us comfortable enough to be ourselves. If you’re a parent, you understand the struggles of taking a kid out to eat. Please come support your local business. I sat here for an hour and watched a dozen people walk into the neighboring chain restaurant. The price is fair, the food is delicious, and your entire family is welcome!

Love the atmosphere. Great menu with plenty of options to choose from. Weekend brunch available. Grimlet was very tasty and refreshing. Cauliflower wings in regular buffalo sauce were soooo yummy!Steak Carne Asada street tacos/burrito were amazing.Our server was fantastic too.Super excited to make Lark a regular go to place.

First time coming in tonight. We originally was going to go to huhot, but after standing there for 10 mins without someone greeting us, I decided why not go next door? Oh man! Best decision! We got the crab rangoon nachos ??? I will have dreams about these nachos. Drink service was slow, which is a big one for us, especially after a long work week, BUT we'll definitely be back! The whole team was extremely nice and apologized for the wait on drinks, and the food came out super fast. Might have found one of our favorites in the Cedar Valley?

Step outside of your comfort zone and order the PB & JJ burger. A sweet jalapeño jelly with peanut butter on a burger! You'll never look back! I hope they keep this on the menu forever!The staff is attentive and friendly. I always have a great time here. Highly recommend the sour beers if you aren't a typical beer drinker, like me. The "Berry Potter" series won't disappoint.Must stop into this brewery! Total gem.

Delicious drink -,The Dude AbidesThis place has plenty of seating. They were out of something’s. There is no one to greet or direct you when you enter but they have a sign on the desk to go to bar to be seated.

Lark Brewing is again open Saturday and Sunday for Brunch. Food was tasty and came promptly. Plenty of brunch offerings, including a kids option. It is always nice to have another restaurant available, though there are so many wonderful places to dine in Cedar Falls. I am surprised our city is not a bigger culinary and Brewery destination for visitors from all over the Midwest.

Lark has very good beer and food! They have award winning beer that taste great!! My personal favorite are the lowkey/hi def and the American AF. They have 6 packs and growlers you take home. There food is awesome! There homemade chicken tenders and dipping sauces are phenomenal. The burgers are pretty stellar. Also last but not least the atmosphere of the place is great. Highly recommend stopping in!

The atmosphere was clean and quiet. The staff was very friendly, we would give the staff a 5 stars. They tried hard to make our visit a good experience. The waitress came out and said the kitchen was having issues. Later the cook came out and said he apologized for the delays, but they were having equipment issues. He brought out a plate of free cheese curds for our inconvenience. He said they were also having trouble with their breading as you can see in the photo. The Lark Burger was very small for $13.50, and not what I expected. The flavor was good 4 stars. Overall the burger was a mess. The two small patties were odd shaped and would not stay on the bun. My spouses Chicken Tenders were huge! Five large tenders, but the Planko breading was way over cooked. Our Tator Tots were crispy, but spouse noticed a rancid and bitter taste which is common when the fried oil is over heated. The one star was given based on the food experience, not the facility or the staff.

Welp, I gave Lark another try last night because I really want to like this place. I ordered the calamari special as an appetizer and shrimp & andouille sausage tacos. The tacos were possibly the worst I have ever had. Greesy soggy corn tortilla, overcooked tiny shrimp, dried out and overcooked sausage slices...the sauce was bad, no garnish hardly at all.. just not good. The calamari were over breaded, over seasoned and extremely greasy. I could not finish my food. I am giving them 2 stars because my friend ordered extra crispy Nashville hot wings and said they were good.

Great food, great beer, and great atmosphere.The chef checked in with us a couple of times to make sure we were enjoying the food and asking for feedback. He described his method for smoking the baby back ribs I had.The restaurant is clean and inviting, and includes a full bar.If you like great food and great beer you need to give Lark a try. I've been here several times and will definitely be returning again.
Nice big space separated into a restaurant area and bar area. Good food and good selection of beers. Nice friendly staff

Great spot to drink beer and eat some good food. I really loved all the Harry Potter themed beers. The beef all comes from a single farm and it was amazing, very deep beef flavor. My partner had the chicken sandwich, which was very crunchy and spicy. All the staff were very nice and attentive. Plan on coming again.

First time here. I got 3 types of tacos. They were amazing. I got my flight picked by the bartender giving my like and dislike and he was spot on. I highly recommend the American AF. It's super smooth and very enjoyable if you like goldens.

I was in this establishment a little over a week ago. I drove up from Atlanta Georgia to visit some family. I was incredibly surprised as to how amazing the food was as well as how delicious the beers were too. It's easy to simply cook good food but it takes a phenomenal chef to create the unique flavors and dishes. The Filipino bought pork but appetizer was amazing! And the nachos were incredibly unique and that I've never had them with Bierria before. Incredibly tasty! Where do you want lunch or dinner or merely a cold beer with a delicious appetizer I highly recommend this place!

I visited Lark Brewing which was located in a Mall in Waterloo. I ordered the Black Bean Hummus with corn chips to snack on while enjoying my flight of craft beer. The bartender was very nice and helpful. They had a large variety of delicious craft beers on tap, which was so awesome. I love their lark bird logo, very cool, and all of their cool beer schwag for sale. It was dimly lit inside also which played into the serene atmosphere. Overall, great experience!
