Came in on St. Patrick’s Day. Arrived at 6:30. Asked how long the wait was. Answer was “I don’t know.” Really? A good hostess gives some kind of answer, usually longer than the expected wait. Seated at around 7:00. Waitress took our drink order (there were 6 of us. Five received our drinks. Had to remind the waitress to bring the sixth one. Waitress was given our food orders. During the next hour or so, we asked about our orders2 or 3 times. We were told they were coming. Finally, around 8:15, we told the waitress to forget about the food. She said our tickets were up, it should be soon. (We could see into the kitchen and saw that some of the order had been up for at least 10-15 minutes. So that food would have been cold while waiting for the other orders to be ready.). The waitress asked if we wanted our food ‘to go?’ We said know, we wanted warm food. We didn’t want to take it home and rewarm it! We asked for our checked for our drinks. Got the check and paid it. As a courtesy, I would have thought the drinks (1 beer and a soft drink) would have been free. We will never be back. I’ll be anxious to see if this review sees the light of day.
Delicious food.

Craft beers, ciders. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Food was excellent! We are out of town and will definitely mark this on our google maps as a place to return to!

Came here after a long eight hour drive, and I was not disappointed! Great food, excellent service, and the atmosphere is top-notch! I enjoyed seeing all of the framed photos and newspaper articles on the walls. They also had lights and decorations for Halloween, which was a fun touch.
I recommend the tuna filet sandwich as it was a nice experience over the standard tuna sandwich most people are used to.
My wife enjoyed two different Halloween / Fall themed drinks. I tried a sip of the pumpkin spice margarita, and I was surprised at how good it was given my apprehension on that flavor in anything that is not a coffee or dessert.

The pork tenderloin looks and tastes like a glorified chicken patty, literally one you'd get served for lunch at school

This is one of my favorite places to stop whenever I'm in cedar rapids. The service has always been great and the food is priced very well and extremely tasty highly recommend getting the cheese wontons with their honey mustard.
It's a great place to get a quick bite to eat or go and have a drink and watch the game!

A Cedar Rapids institution and I'd never been. The server was on top of everything. Friendly and prompt. The food was fantastic, and reasonably priced. The food was delicious.

Michelle was fantastic. Great service. Was concerned the fish came as nuggets but cooked perfect, moist. Cheese steak was good, well flavored. Will be back. Onion rings are like the onion straws sold at all the fairs, very good.

Party of four all enjoyed the food, and the beverages. One of party needed “soft food” and although no soup is served in the evening (oddly) the wait staff recommended a couple of side dishes that were tasty. Would go back.
