Went to Cruz’s for the first time for Mother’s Day brunch with my kiddo- food was amazing (we both cleared our plates!) and service was awesome! Will definitely be back!!
Great service, fantastic food and a cool atmosphere. Lots of photos of CR from the 60s.
We went on mother's day. It was very busy. The service was great. There were 6 of us in our group. Our breakfast was delicious. I can't say enough about our waitress. She was awesome. Thanks for making a couple of out of towners feel welcome.

The promise of "Breakfast served all day" attracts many visitors, and the cafe is known for its friendly and efficient service. Diners have praised the simple Denver omelet for being tender and light, complemented by fresh fruit and an English muffin. The chicken fried steak has been called the best in Cedar Rapids, with flavorful cream gravy that exceeds expectations. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, making it easy for everyone to enjoy a meal.
