“This place is a hidden gem! The building is about 150 years old, but the inside is updated and clean. The menu said that the building once housed a saloon and hotel. I had a turkey Reuben and fries that were tasty and reasonably priced. They were selling a lot of pizzas that looked good- maybe next time. I appreciated the relaxed atmosphere. We watched a football game while we ate. I would feel comfortable bringing kids here with me.“

“From the moment we walked in, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our big day. The space is absolutely beautiful—modern, elegant, and welcoming. But what really made it special was the incredible team behind it all. The staff -especially Melissa-at The Hotel at Kirkwood went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They were organized, responsive, and genuinely kind throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, everything was flawless—from the setup to the food to the flow of the evening. Our guests were raving about the venue, and we felt so supported every step of the way. If you're looking for a wedding location that combines style, comfort, and top-notch service, we can't recommend The Hotel at Kirkwood enough!“

3025 Mt Vernon Rd SE Ste 2&3 Or B, Cedar Rapids - 11.4 miles

“First time here, we're going to be back.

This is in the old Mexican restaurant location. It's a great upgrade from that.

Wife ordered the Monti-cristo (however it's spelled) with fries and a drink. Huge sandwich, took half of it home for dinner. She absolutely loved it.

I had the Ruben with fries and a iced tea.

Why are all fries in Iowa these thin shoestring things? Steak fries are wonderful.

Anyway, the Ruben was very good, thick cuts of meat piled high, good crunch on the bread. It held up all the way through, wasn't soggy at all.

Decent price, for the two of us it was around $50 with tip included.

If you're looking for a NE sports bar every seat seems to be facing multiple large TV's.“

We stopped there just because they had Creamy Lemon Crumble for the flavor of the day, but it turned out to be Creamy Vanilla Crumble. We couldn’t taste any lemon, though there was lots of cookie crumble in it.“
