“The classic burger, the fries, and the shakes are all wonderful. The tenders were not what I expected. They were very small as compared to the ones I used to order back home, but the quality and flavor were great. Customer service is top-notch and served with a smile! The atmosphere is so comfy, upbeat, and clean! I love this place!“
“First time trying Orchard Green and the food was delicious! They have a nice ambience upstairs as others have mentioned. We were a party of 4 and ordered the focaccia, walleye fish, halibut, roasted bison and the filet. I was debating between the scallops and bison and decided on the bison which was so good! It was a lot of food and I was so stuffed. The server we had was good. He was an older gentleman and he was attentive. It can get busy here but you can also make a reservation online. There is free valet parking where you drive to the back entrance and park right in front of the door and someone will come out. Apparently, they park your car where they can find a spot as well. We ended up doing street parking so you have to pay for meter unless you find free parking a few blocks away. Free parking in downtown Iowa City is harder to come by these days for those folks who are used to free parking in the outskirts of Iowa City.“
“This place has been a staple in the iowa city area as long as I can remember. It's the kind of bar where, if you're local you'll know someone there. Juke box, pool, arcade games. The staff is always friendly and fast. Always a good time!Kid-friendliness: Tables and a kids menu“
“When I was pregnant with our first child in 1967, I would wake my husband James up in the middle of the night. He was a grad student at Iowa at the time. He would walk all the way from our house at 16 W. Bloomington to the Mill Restaurant to buy me one of their delicious grilled egg sandwiches. I know there was quite an array of them. That's when I knew I had married a true gem. He passed the "Mill Test." Walking to get an order at 2 in the morning. "A" for James and "A" for The Mill!“
“Chloe provided good service. The food was excellent with generous portions provided. I ate a Cobb Salad with honey mustard dressing. Also pictured is a black bean burger. Others in our party ordered 7 Layer Dip and the burger basket (Monday's special). We were back to our car in 1 hour, all the time we were allowed to pay for at the parking meter.Parking: Current construction on Dubuque Street (see photo for descriprion) further complicates parking near Mickey's through Sunner 2024.Wheelchair accessibility: There are two stairs in the front entrance to Mickey's.“
“Was taken out to dinner to celebrate graduating graduate school, so I don't know how much the bill was, but I absolutely loved the Rib Eye steak. They did it rare just the way I like it on the first try. Bison meatball app was killer, totally a vibe. Also, both their Manhattan and Old Fashioned were well made drinks that paired well with the rustic food. I chose Mac and cheese for my side and liked it, but ended up taking most of it home in a box. Other guest with me ordered salmon and said it was perfectly cooked so I included pictures as well.Definitely recommend for a date or a celebration of some kind, even if you're going alone I imagine the vibe could work well.“
“We stopped here for lunch on a very busy Saturday. We were told it'd be about 30 minutes before we got seated, and we agreed to wait. I'm so glad we did, because it was absolutely worth it in the end! We were seated at the bar, which we didn't mind, as the seats were comfy. Our food came quickly, tasted delicious, and we had the most wonderful server, who made our visit there even better, with her friendly positive attitude. As for parking, we found a spot on the nearby street (with a parking meter, so bring some quarters). We'll definitely be back!“
“Food is delicious but be prepared for a long wait. This is of no fault of the workers because Nodo is so popular that they can't keep up with the orders. It does make me wonder whether they would benefit from more cooks/cashiers so it doesn't take around half an hour for a sandwich and fries, though. I would still highly recommend! It's worth the wait if you have time.“
“Got to go out for dinner at Shakes and had a great time! Good food, lots of laughs, and great service. Kelsey made us feel like her favorite regulars even tho we don’t get there as often and we’d like. Will make it a point to come back more often!“
“I finally got time to stop for lunch today. Amazing. Service was quick. The sweet tea was good, and the tenderloin and fries were smoking hot and came out fast. I'm not a cole slaw guy, but it was good. Totally awesome. But if you're not really hungry, get the smaller sandwich. I finished the large, but I shouldn't have. ;)“
“Ordered the Jumbo Breaded Tenderloin today. It came with Fries and Onion rings. Was a VERY GOOD tenderloin. Had very good breading on it and the Onion Rings were AWESOME!! I'D HIGHLY RECCOMEND EATING HERE!! Waitress was very courteous, and seen to our needs as a customer. I do believe this will be my new eating palce in Iowa City. AWESOME JOB MIDTOWN FAMILY RESTAURANT!!“
“The food, service, and ambiance is absolutely what makes Webster a standout in Iowa city for impressing family/friends who are visiting. They have also done some personal stuff for our birthday events as well and you can truly tell the staff are passionate about the food there and know their stuff. If there’s one place that I would recommend as a staple; this is it. My recommended dish is always the tartare, chicken, and the potato salad“
“First time visiting Iowa. Wilson's is a lovely place to have lunch and sit and chat with friends. The service was great and the food was excellent. I highly recommend the biscuits and gravy; super flavorful with a little bit of spice. The potatoes were nice and crunchy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside. Can't wait to go back!“

“Our family group picked this place for lunch after the little ones had some fun at the Children's museum. From the moment we walked in the door, all of the staff was cheery and friendly.They have a great outdoor area, but it was a little windy, so we ate inside. The menu selection was great from you normal 'brew pub' food. Our order ran from beet salad, lamb meatballs, chicken bacon rolls, to a Poke bowl. The littlest one wanted apple sauce (which we didn't see on the menu) and they were happy to accommodate.The atmosphere inside and out was great as was all of the food. Definitely a place to try if you want to sit outside and enjoy the weather or inside of the weather conditions aren't great. Go check it out!“
“I've eaten here several times, and the food is always excellent. Most recently, we dined in on a Monday, which is their burger special night. We just happened to hit happy hour as well, so I was expecting a bigger bill. So, I just put a little more in their tip.Burgers are great, drinks are cold, service is wonderful. I substitute the potatoe salad for French fries, and it's really good.I would recommend this place 11 times out of 10 over that 5 Guys place, especially on a Monday. Their burgers are way better! And you can even have an adult beverage with it!Anyone traveling along I-80 should stop here for a burger. Especially if it's a Monday.Parking: There is plenty of parking, but there isn't really a place for truckers trucks hauling/pulling a trailer. So that kind of sucks.“
“The chicken lip extravaganza is awesome and usually turns into a meal plus a snack for later. The sauce on the chicken lips hits every time, the mac and cheese and dim sum green beans are excellent. Staff is always friendly and fast every time I go in. You can see right into the kitchen which looks super clean. They also have a free rewards program which means every 3 or 4 times I get takeout it's about half-price on my meal. I haven't explored their menu much, but everything I've had has been high quality.“
“We originally bought tickets for the dueling pianos on a Friday night. We decided to make reservations and have dinner there. We started with the shrimp cakes and duck wontons. We also got a bourbon flight to try 4 different bourbons. We got the bone in Iowa chop with brussels and mash. We finished with the creme brulee and drinks. The shrimp cakes were good with a sweet chili sauce. The duck wontons were fantastic and awesome. I would order these any time, every time. The bourbon flight was not for me, not a bourbon person apparently. The main course was excellent. The Brussels were crispy and tasty. The mash was smooth and flavorful. It was a great compliment to the thick and juicy Iowa chop. The creme brulee was good and the drinks were decent. The shrimp cakes were good however I would rather order the duck wontons. The main course was fantastic and I would definitely order this again. The creme brulee was good, pretty standard brulee. The drinks were ok. I probably wouldn't order drinks, other than wine or beer, here as they are small and pretty pricey. The waiter was good though he did drop off towards the end and my drink order got list whether he forgot or the bar didn't do it but he did blame it on the bar. Overall, the food was excellent and worth the trip. I would say give it a try for good m, not so much the drinks.“
“It's been a few years since I ate at 126 and decided it was time for a visit. I carefully checked the menus listed on their website and was excited to try the lamb osso bucco listed on their website at $26. When we sat down and I looked at the menu, I thought that there was a typo when the price listed for the lamb was $62!!! The food was delicious and, thanks to a generous friend who helped me celebrate my birthday, I had the lamb and it was amazing. Please update your on line menus so that people don't get sticker shock when they sit down.“
“I've been to Hudson's many times as it's on the way home but it not been here and probably almost a year. It was Friday afternoon but the place seemed more lively and upbeat.The menu is fairly expansive with quite a few options, some of them outside the normal fare. The prices had gone up a bit but the food was really quite good, I had the meatloaf sandwich and my wife had a salad that was much better than a far more expensive place a few nights earlier. The beer prices seem quite high to me, but I haven't been out drinking in quite a while. they do have an outdoor patio in the summer that borders a fairly quiet street, it is a great place to grab an afternoon sandwich. They have a huge diverse burger selection, as well as a good Reuben and Breaded PorkTenderloin, alll served with pretty good portions of Good fries!Several steps above fast food for a couple bucks more, definitely worth it“
“I would say the Union Jack is my favorite pizza in Iowa City. After saying this I like the hybrid not quite deep dish style. Their thin crust is good but doesn't compete with Pagliai's. Other than that good service and good atmosphere for a pizza place.“
“Been a few times now and had a nice time. Food and drinks were good. I do think the host forgot about us on the waitlist but first visit was on a holiday and these things happen, a waitress did collect my partner and i and got us service fast for our wait. Finally visited the downstairs but last night and was impressed with atmosphere and service :) you have good staff!“
“The food was amazing and the service was spectacular. This is a must stop if you are in the area.The owner/cook came out and was very friendly. We enjoyed our conversation and he made sure the food was to our liking. In addition the server was very helpful in making great choices for our burgers and the ice cream sandwich is a must have… save room!!“
“I definitely miss some of the old menu items, but thats maybe the worst thing i could say because the food Blue Bird has is really good currently. Love staff, they seem to handle the lots of people there so well every time, if they are stressed you'd never know. Love them! <3Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options! Yay!“
“My girlfriend and I love this place. Hole in the wall dive bar with darts and a pool table and decent beer selection. It's becoming a little more known to the college crowd but other than that it's always a good time. Bartenders are the best and that's what keeps us coming back every week. The two regular bartenders are our favorites in Iowa city. As long as you're respectful they treat their patrons well“
“This has become my favorite place to go when I'm in town. The menu is varied (good for a group), and everything is tasty. I especially love the Cajun selections, like jambalaya and Gumbo. The beer selections and flights are perfect. And I've always had warm, attentive service while here.“
“Such a fun atmosphere with excellent service, food, and drinks! This is my husband and my new "local spot".Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs, and the last couple of times I went, they provided crayons and paper. They also have lids They can put on cups for kiddos to have water, if you don't bring your own.“
“It was just crab tonight as of this posting. This experience really good service and food my friend got a bottle of champagne on the house it was a great night for him. I recommend for anyone without allergies for seafood to definitely try it out and I haven’t tried the Turkey but I will make a new post once I make it around again.“
“Very unique, creative and very delicious food!When we were there, we tried the west coast wrap and it was full of greens and grilled chicken, goat cheese and pistachios.Fresh food, made to order.One goes up to the register to order and then you wait while they fix your food and then you take it and go sit down. They are multi-level, it's narrow and not excessively deep, but there is quite of bit of seating for two people or four people and even if you're just by yourself. There are larger tables up stairs, (they have two floors) The restrooms are on the second floor, as well. Stairs are used to access the second level.They also have very tasty drinks.We had the blueberry lemonade.Vegetarian options: I do believe that you could get any wrap adjusted to your dietary needs. One could turn a wrap vegetarian. One could add cheese or leave off cheese. I think that they would accommodate that.Kid-friendliness: I would say it was kid friendly. There is a big front window and it seems like a very fun place that children would like to be.Parking: Street parking at metered spots, or one could park in the car park(ramps) and walk.“
“We occasionally go for trivia night. Half price appetizers, drink specials, and good friends. Very nice place with good food and not too pricey. I can even pick up some milk on the way out!Parking: Always plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: Our teens come with us all the time.“
“My daughter's wedding venue was held there. From the rehearsal dinner, reception and brunch the next morning there was not one complaint. The food was outstanding. The rooftop is a beautiful setting. I highly recommend the Heights Rooftop for any reception. I hear that they are also going to start catering for outside events.“
“I thought everything was subpar aside from the tenderloin sandwich. The salad, the balsamic dressing, and the dessert like sweet potato waffle fries. However, the pork tenderloin sandwich was the best I've had out here! Thick cut, crispy batter, pickled onions and a mustard seed dressing. Perfectly executed!“
“We have been waiting to come here for 8 months. Every time we have passed by, they were busy. Today we went early and we sat right down. At first the restaurant wasn't loud - it wasn't busy either but within the hour, patrons were standing at the door. We were served right away and the waitress was amazing. Steak and Pancakes were good, biscuit were fresh and the gravy was different. We might come back here at some point but it won't be the next place we try. And the atmosphere was just right.“
“Joseph's is all about the experience. Each table is made private by sheer curtains that make the meal much more private than a typical restaurant. The servers are knowledgeable and happy to recommend a special or guide your food selection. Though the meals are a touch on the pricy side, this restaurant seems to be mostly reserved for a special occasion. Food options are typical for a high end steakhouse and many steaks follow a market price rather than described price. The French onion soup was some of the best I've had with a great ratio of broth to onion to cheese. It was a bit salty but certainly warmed up a cold march night. Originally I ordered the ribeye filet but was given a full ribeye at no additional charge. The steak was cooked to perfection and was delicious. With dessert options so board, everyone at the table will want to share a bite. The bread pudding was warm and flavorful. It came with a side of vanilla ice cream which helped to add moisture to the affair. Over all, great experience and I will definitely be back soon“
