“. Fantastic place! I recently moved from Chicago and have been here twice already. The food is amazing, and the customer service is beyond exceptional. All of the staff are kind and professional, but Lily truly deserves special recognition, she has the best serving attitude, outstanding customer service, and makes guests feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. Her positive energy and professionalism make a real difference. Wishing everyone here continued success, I’ll definitely be back again!“

“Excellent food, eclectic specials, one of the better and more creative restaurants in Iowa City“

“I'm gluten intolerant so I ordered the tomato bisque rather than the chips with my sandwich. The waiter heard me tell my friend why I was ordering the soup and checked to make sure I would be able to eat both the sandwich and the soup. He went above and beyond to cater to my needs. Our lunch was good and his entire demeanor and attitude were very pleasant. Worth stopping here since we were only in town for a doctor's visit at the hospital.“

“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!“

“Ate here on November 7 in the early afternoon. I ordered the baked white fish dinner, which included a large roll, French fries and a side salad. The fish was a large portion and baked to perfection. Our waitress was friendly and took good care of us. All employees were friendly. The place appeared clean and there is ample parking. Prices are reasonable. Would definitely come back again when in Iowa City.“

“Ethan aat the front security, was awesome and understanding when I realized I had something in my pockets he offered to hold it for me until I left. Awesome people, he could have turned me away but instead worked things out for me to go in. 10 out of 10. Will return“

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.“

“We come here regularly when we're in town to see a show at Hancher. Never been disappointed. We were there on May 2 for an early dinner. Best server ever! Brady -- he was new but handled everything wonderfully. Always smiling, attentive without hovering and always found an answer to any questions we had quickly. Please give this guy a raise!“

“Good food, bright and clean atmosphere and friendly people“

“Wow great sandwiches in such a hidden spot! Brian gave particularly wonderful service and I felt very taken care of by the warm friendly staff and amazing sandwiches. As a St Louis resident with a great sandwich scene I can say the recommendation was well worth going out of my way for!“

“I was looking forward to meeting a friend for lunch today since I hadn’t been to The Vine in a LONG time. It’s a great place but I was disappointed-I ordered the fish and chips since it was one of their specials, the French fries were COLD and the fish was a bit greasy, not a fan of the coleslaw in this case. Our server was great, it would have been nice if he’d had a little more help! I’m willing to try again, hoping to not have a repeat experience…“

“I'm consistently impressed by the exceptional service and food quality at The Bistro at the Courtyard by Marriott. 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.“

“Dinner with my sister and BIL while I was passing through, they come here often. Fine meal, good drinks. Lots of water on table. Staff was very courteous in letting us stay late, no pressure after everyone else had left the dining room (but still some at the bar).“

“These burgers are fantastic! If you are a burger lover, or just someone who appreciates food, you need to try Cracken’s Grill. Absolutely worth every single bite! 10/10.“
