50 Best American Restaurants near Hiawatha

“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.“

“ate here today for 2nd time lately. wife had everything omlete breakfast for 16 bucks(outrageous price), I got ham and cheese and muchroom omlete breakfast and was 14 bucks. waitress never once checked on us after a rude lady dropped off our food. I couldn't get a water refill at all. we waited for 15 minutes after eating and finally went to front Counter since Noone brought us a check. gal at front desk was pretty rude when I let her know i was not very happy with service but she didn't care, didn't even get I'm sorry for your experience or anything. last time I will eat at this location. also the seat coverings are ripped up and uncomfortable.“

“I've past by this on the way to Menards for too many years. Today I did it and not just me invited friends and fam to the event of going to Jonsey's. What have I been doing not going here more often?
Wow. Everyone was full at the end. My teenager especially remarked he was full so that's a testament.
Because he's gluten free they put his pulled pork in a real bowl and served it to him. The fries had a wonderful flavor and great seasonings. We got the mushrooms too. Mmm. Great! And of course the tenderloin! Wow. It was amazing! I got the small this time. I'm debating getting the large next time.
Nice simple but clean environment. Friendly service.“

“Ordered food and received sandwiches with bad lettuce. I called to notify the restaurant and the lady who answered replied with "it's hard to find good lettuce." This will be my last time ordering.“

“Went to Pregame for lunch today and both the food and service were great. Also, the TV setup is very good with a good mix of booths, tables, and high tops. I saw a review comparing this place to BWW which is ridiculous. This is a great option to watch a sporting event.“

“Great spot down by the Cedar River. I am a big fan of Czech Pilsners and insisted we make time for a lunch and a beer there. What a great time; chatted it up with the locals and the bartender on an early Friday afternoon. I ordered the goulash and dumplings and my darling ordered a pork tenderloin. Both were great but hers was exceptional. Solid selection of Czech beers, Czechvar being my favorite. Reasonable tab for food and drinks and a nice friendly visit with locals to boot in an authentic old-school tavern. If you visit be sure to have them point out how high the flood waters got in the 2008 downpours.“

“Service was good but the French onion soup had way too much pepper. I had the $25 walleye and the breading tasted awful and was almost burnt. Tried to pick off breading and eat the fish and still was terrible…couldn’t eat it“

“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.“

“Always a great shopping experience!!!“

“Great food, service was awesome, great atmosphere, incredible menu options, lots of parking, I highly recommend. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“OMG This place is so delicious ? and the food is HOT I've never gone to a restaurant where the food is remotely close to how hot the food is so great job for having a HOT food and it stayed HOT through my whole meal ??and we had GREAT service I ? recommend this place if you like fish, frys, and ECT 10/10 DELICIOUS ?“

“awesome waitresses, Grace, Rachael and Sandy. They make us feel like family. we eat here 3 to 4 times a week. excellent food and service!!“

“I went to Happy Hour for $5.00 appetizers and boy that was a mistake! The chicken tasted old, it was in huge pieces, I found a chicken bone in it too. They probably use left over Rotisserie Chicken for it. I felt sick after eating it too and had to take some antacids. Hy-Vee Market need to use fresh food. I couldn't finish my appetizer. It tasted horrible!“

“This is one of our favorite places to go especially for happy hour. The staff is great, beer is cold and just a great place to hang out. We meet friends here for happy hour on a regular basis. Never disappointed.“

“My boyfriend and I came in last night and we both got the OG Street Tacos. They were great! The cocktails were great as well! It was our 3rd time in and we will definitely be back. The service was quick and attentive.“

“My daughter and I got invited out to dinner with my parents, niece, and nephew. While out for dinner, my daughter who is 5 and Autistic started displaying that she was overstimulated and was screaming and as most would call "throwing a tantrum". Several had looked and I told my nephew that just because my kid has Autism doesn't mean that she should have to be excluded from going out because of her disability. When I felt like I was becoming overwhelmed, a young man who was either a server or bused tables stopped by my table and told me completely understood how I felt because he too had a 5 year old Autistic son and discussed the whole difficulty having to wait to have his son diagnosed. To hear him discuss this with me and make me feel a lot calmer and as if I wasn't doing anything wrong and shouldn't be ashamed of taking my child out was really amazing. Our server was also very polite about the situation. I know several would have told me that I had to calm my child or leave, but this young lady stayed calm and kept her cool. I wish I had got both their names, but they definitely showed me how kind humanity really is. Both really deserve a raise and the server definitely deserved the $10 tip we left her.“

“Love 30 hop! Always a great spot for either big groups or date night. Fabulous cocktails and Apps 😊“

“We went for lunch at 1.30pm on a Tuesday. It's a great time to go for lunch because it wasn't crowded.

Delicious food; fish & chips, chicken wrap, cheeseburger and chocolate cake.

But it was an especially good experience because of the excellent service by our server, Taylar!
Friendly, checked on us frequently, helpful recommendations, great service. Thank you, Taylor!

The only suggestion I have is to replace or repair the booth seat. It's ripped.“

“I love this place so much. So much I’m putting this place and my favorite server in my novels. The family is so sweet and kind, good is really good and at a good price. A true gem.“
