Restaurants near Hiawatha

“Má ơi, ngon quá. This sandwich shop serves the most authentic Vietnamese Bánh mì in the area. I’ve tried many places from Iowa City - Hiawatha. This shop is the best from taste to price compared to the others. I recommend getting the #1 Bánh mì đặc biệt / specialty, and wash it down with a cafe sữa đá / Vietnamese Ice Coffee. The shop also offers an array of various drinks if coffee isn’t your thing. I highly recommend anyone to stop in for a good lunch. Sandwich and drink here taste better, more filling, and priced better than going to a place like Subway.”

“Our favorite Mexican food around!!”

“My family did a catering order for Easter and Oscar’s exceeded our expectations! Christina helped me plan the menu and even accommodated my special request of deviled eggs. The portions were generous and everything was SO delicious!! We will definitely be ordering again for our next family gathering. Highly recommend!”

“First timer. Tried the featured Teddy Graham as an iced to-go… absolutely phenomenal!!! 🤤👏🥰”

“Best cupcakes ever. I love the different flavors. I go as often as I can.”

“Staff is always so friendly, food is sooooo good! We have a 2 year old that the staff ALWAYS pays attention to, it really has a family feel. Their Carnivore pizza is my favorite, but there are a handful of things I want to order every time we go. Can’t say enough good things about this place, so so good!”

“If you haven't stopped in to Pita'z Mediterranean and American Cuisine (Center Point Rd, Hiawatha) you're truly missing out. My husband and I stopped in again for dinner, and the gentleman behind the counter met us with warm cordiality. We're repeat offenders here, so we got our usuals, shish tawook with baby ganoush and chips (below) and gyro with hummus and chips, and a side of falafel. We did notice how friendly and knowledgeable he was for the first timers who came in behind us. The food is nothing short of exquisite. Everything we've had on the menu has such a beautiful blend of spices and garlic that if you take a date there and that person doesn't want to suck face with you at the end of the night, that person is not the one. This is the food that helps you find true love. The chicken was juicy and packed with flavor, paired with that addictive creamy garlic sauce and perfectly fluffy chewy pita bread. And the baba ganoush, oh that smoky goodness. The falafel was delightfully fluffy on the inside, and crispy enough on the outside that it didn't fall apart when you bit into it. My husband really enjoyed his gyro platter, but isn't as wordy as I am, but I did see his eyes roll back at least twice, so it must be fabulous. Nonetheless, please please stop in to this criminally overlooked gem.”

“This was the worst pizza I have ever had”

“I love Culver’s restaurants but was disappointed in the Hiawatha location this evening. 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.”

“Stop in about once a week to treat my grandson on his way to his doctor's appointment. He is 5 and loves it. In the winter they had a Candyland theme. He calls Scooter's Candyland now.”

“Giving 5 stars because for one, the guy making the pizza is really cute… and because they messed up my order but were happy to fix it, and both pizzas were delicious. Well done, can the pizza boy come home with me too next time? :P jk.. kinda ”

“The baristas were incredibly helpful in ensuring we found the right beans for our home espresso machine.”

“Cashier was friendly and helped with my menu questions! Sandwiches were huge and broccoli cheese soup was great!”

“I heard how great Tomaso's Pizza is so I was looking forward to trying it when our family gathered together while we were visiting the area. The staff was great at answering all my questions. I decided to skip a salad and just get pizza. They make an extra thin New York style pizza which was perfect. My pizza could have been cooked longer but everyone elses was nice and brown. Everyone else's pizza was loaded with toppings except for my husband's Italian sausage pizza and my chicken, broccoli, and onion pizza. The chicken is smoked which I've never had before. It definitely has a different flavor. I have no idea how much we paid for my pizza but it could have used double the ingredients. The cheese bread is really good!!! Other than that it's a great place to meet on a weeknight. Not sure how busy or noisy it is on weekend s.”

“I claim Paradise as my favorite Indian restaurant in town, or perhaps my favorite above all others. They are so thoughtful with their buffet options, always offering unique dishes while considering the palates of people from other backgrounds. When you want spice, they can really bring the heat (and this from a pepper head who can never get things spicy enough). The owner and staff are always kind and happy to share cultural info about their food. Ordering from the menu has always been a bountiful experience with amazing depths of flavor. Oh, and I almost forgot... the JUICIEST most flavorful Tandori Chicken I have ever had. Every time. From anywhere. Even from my travels to Indian restaurants in London. I don't know how they do it, but I don't need to know. I'll just keep coming back for it.”

“Taco John's Hiawatha haa good staff and good food I love it there ☺️”

“This is the nicest Dairy Queen in the area. It is clean, the workers are friendly, and I have not had a bad meal in there. I live close to there and use them often Keep up the good work.”

“The service is outstanding, and is only superseded by their beautiful offerings-the meals can be similar to a therapeutic journey of the senses!”

“First time here. Food was awesome and service was great! Will certainly be back”

“Amazing food, as always!! Go show O's some love!!💗”

“Delicious food great service!!”

“I’m a picky eater and walked in already checked out the menu online. I choose to build my own bowl with the help of the lady working. She was very helpful and patient with me! Will be back”

“We definitely recommend them! Just try it you won’t be disappointed!”

“Excellent food and service . Large portions.”

“Got the 10 tacos + chips/queso deal for taco Tuesday. Was shocked that every ingredient was individually packaged. So nice! I got half beef and half chicken. Both were phenomenal. What a great deal and absolutely delicious. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Super awesome pizza. they nailed the New York style! and that's coming from an East Coast boy. had the queen Margarita and the Supreme and I highly recommend both of them. you won't go wrong here. the service is also great and the owner came in personally talked to us. great experience, great food”

“gorgeous thin crust, excellent toppings, great vibe”

“My wife and I visited here every day we were in Cedar Rapids. The coffee, food, and unhurriedness of the café prompted happy memories of visits to cafés in Europe.”

“Amazing food and awesome staff!”

“They say the best way to a man's heart is through food—am I about to marry the owner? No. But I will say this: it’s hands down the best meal I’ve had in the U.S. so far. The way the spices harmonise with the meat is a masterpiece, letting the natural flavours shine while the spices create a symphony of aromas that’s pure heaven.”
