Excellent service, food, and atmosphere! Everything was fantastic- from the margaritas to the burgers. Wonderful outdoor seating on the ped mall. Fast and friendly service- our waiter checked back many times and the owner/cook even came out to check on our food and our visit. The BLAT burger was outstanding! We definitely will be back!

Lucas is arguably the best bartender in downtown IC. Joe is also arguably the most hospitable owner of a restaurant or bar in Iowa City. Check out their rotating/seasonal cocktail menu, it’s fantastic.

I went into burger haul with anticipation because I heard great things about this place and i was so impressed it led me to write a review. Lucas the bartender was attentive, laid back and so welcoming. The inside bar is historic and beautiful and far from your everyday modern walk in watering hole. Then I met Joe. Joe owns and operates this place. He cooked my burger and fries and brought it out to me and talked to me about the food, his restaurant and we talked about a handful of topics. He was easy to talk to and so passionate about life in general. He was just generally uplifting. As he began to get more orders he went to the kitchen and even though he was busy i noticed him bringing food out to tables, talking with each guest and giving off the same comradery he gave me. The burger I got was a smash burger and im not really sure when smash burgers became the norm (maybe 5 or 6 years ago?) but some are just thin pathetic pattys. These pattys were thick for a smash burger and was quality beef. I was beyond happy with my experience from bartender, to owner\\chef to atmosphere and food. 5 out of 5 stars

The cheeseburgers and fries, as well as the onion rings were fresh and delicious! The decor could use an upgrade, but the service and the food made up for It. The owner named Joe came out and asked how everything was, which I thought was pretty cool since he made the burgers himself and was very sincere and friendly. I will definitely be going back next time o visit my son at the university of Iowa.

What a great spot!!! Joe was so friendly. Burger was perfect, classic. We loved it here
Every time I go here, the burgers cleanse me of my mortality. I become a being of ethereal quality, one born from the outer reaches of the universe, one destined for greatness instead of just doom scrolling on my couch gaining weight and neck problems. The fries are exquisite--some of the best fries you'll ever have, especially when paired with the Chipotle ranch, which is just spicy enough for those who want to feel special but not too spicy for those whose mouths burn with water. I could reach the heavens with the quality of the food here. The atmosphere makes you feel like you're in a parallel dimension where politics are friendly and the economy doesn't tank every time a daisy shakes in the wind. The staff and owner are super friendly, too, and the owner always comes over and greets my table. He's a super cool guy, so I recommend asking him stuff about his life if you want to hear some cool stories. But alas, I live far away from Burger Haul, so I cannot enjoy the delicacies of this restaurant. Hence, you should go in my place, not only to satisfy me vicariously, but also to support this underrated small business.

Went on a Saturday night and tried their smash burger deal with fries and a side of ranch. Absolutely amazing food and service. Our server was very nice and the owner came out to our table when we got our food and was super welcoming. His food is great! Their raspberry moscow mule was also fantastic. I would recommend this place to anyone!
