“Had a wonderful dining experience at Watermill Kitchen + Bar. The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it a great spot for both casual meals and special occasions. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The menu offers a nice variety of American dishes, and everything our table ordered was cooked perfectly.

The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Service was efficient without feeling rushed. Overall, a fantastic restaurant with great food, excellent service, and a welcoming environment. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to coming back.“

“Selection and cleanliness are both great but the reason I wanted to review was actually for the mother’s room- it is my first time using one provided by HyVee and it was so nice! It was private and comfortable. There was a place to nurse, change the diaper and wash hands all in one place. It was unexpectedly very nice and I am grateful. We were able to get our groceries AND take care of our four month old 💕“

“Chris is awesome! recommend this stop!“

“we went on the training days. very good food and the servers were friendly“

“BEST. PIZZA. EVER.🤤🫶🏻 Great atmosphere & the bar tenders/staff were phenomenal. Very friendly and accommodating. While I was there with friends, a minor “incident” occurred with a very disgruntled customer from out of town. As I witnessed in horror the absolute, negative, childlike behavior of the “out of towner”, I was quite impressed with how well the manager and staff handled the immature adult. Even after she made the poor manager cry. I personally give the restaurant 15/10 stars!! I will most DEFINITELY be back! Along with my family and friends!!“

“I love dancing there with my friends!“

“Hilltop is a local dive and neighborhood bar with a great menu. 3 pool tables in the back, several TV's with Iowa games featured. Great selection of canned and bottled beverages. They recently expanded their NA selection. This is a great spot for conversationalists, lunch specials, and the rural, urban crowd this spot draws in. Open Tuesday through Saturday“

“Best clever cocktails. Emmie's invention - the Pepperontini cannot be beat!“

“I came in today. I ordered a burger. it was the tap tap to be exact. I wanted to add bacon on it but there wasn't an option for the bartender to add that when she placed my order. Instead, she went back to the kitchen to check with the cooks to see if it could be an option and they made it happen. such a great way of going above and beyond.“

“Great service and our food was delicious! Highly recommend“

“A true classic bar. Incredible staff for 40 plus years“

“the greatest bar! We highly recommend!“

“This place is the cutest little hangout spot. I 10/10 recommend their fish bowl cocktail paired with some corn nuggets. Can’t find that anywhere else in Iowa city!! The staff is so friendly. Try to make it there on a Sunday and enjoy the environment created for meat raffle, win some free food! Love CAMP so much, definitely will be back to visit again.“

“Awesome place to hang out!!!!“

“Great view! Great food!!!“

“Gracie M sets the standard of bartending like Alabama sets the standard of college football. Drinks are always on point, service is quick, and her energy makes the whole place better. She somehow manages to keep everyone happy even when it’s packed, and she does it with a smile. If Gracie’s working, you already know it’s going to be a good night.“

“Didn’t see the first shark for about half an hour – a tiger – thirteen footer. You know how you know that when you’re in the water, Chief? You tell by lookin’ from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn’t know was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn’t even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin’. So we formed ourselves into tight groups…the idea was, the shark comes to the nearest man and he starts poundin’ and hollerin’ and screamin’. Sometimes the shark go away. Sometimes he wouldn’t go away. Sometimes that shark, he looks right into ya, right into your eyes. Y’know, the thing about a shark, he’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When he comes after ya, he doesn’t seem to be livin’ until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white, and then – aww, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin’, the ocean turns red, and in spite of all the poundin’ and the hollerin’, they all come in and rip ya to pieces…in that first dawn, we lost a hundred men. I don’t know how many sharks, maybe a thousand. I don’t know how many men. They averaged six an hour…Noon the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us. He swung in low and he saw us…and he come in low and three hours later, a big fat PBY [seaplane] comes down and start to pick us up. You know, that was the time I was most frightened – waitin’ for my turn. I’ll never put on a life jacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water, three hundred and sixteen men come out, and the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb“

“Great atmosphere, food, and Jen is the best waitress! Can’t wait to go back!“

“My Great Uncle Dave's place. It has one pool table, half a bathroom, and an old school jukebox with Portishead on it. Kurt Vonnegut loved it, and for a long time it was the Writer's Workshop designated hangout. One of the oldest gay-owned businesses in a town with deep LGBT roots“

“Best bartenders and regulars in the business! Go Griff!“

“always great service n vibe“

“food is always excellent and service is always great when I stop by.“

“The tunes are fresh and wild.“

“Always a good time and they have a great selection of beer.“

“Always a good time. Snorting coke in the back alley behind here and some of the regulars kept me entertained sometimes too. Decent kind of typical bar food though and decent, very decent when it comes to drinks. Usually kind of a younger crowd but not too bad though.“

“I had my second visit today for lunch and I was pleasantly impressed even over my high expectations from my first visit. this will be a main stop any time I am in town. I forgot the bartenders name but he was working at 230 pm on Feb 24th. absolutely fantastic service“

“My wife and I went to the Black Angel for a late lunch about 4 pm today. We split a beef brisket sandwich with each us having a bowl of chicken tortilla soup. The soup was lukewarm and had to be reheated which was promptly and courteously done, as was all service rendered. This was our only complaint. Everything was excellent. Best Chicken Tortilla soup (not too spicy) ever had, The sandwich was great too. Yum!“

Great Iowa City location just across from Kinnick Stadium in University Heights – the atmosphere is fantastic, the food is always fresh and top-notch, and the staff is outstanding. A consistently delightful experience, whether dining indoors or on the patio.“
