“What an amazing place. The owners and staff are super friendly and make you feel at home. The food and drinks are very reasonably priced. I had the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and green beans, topped with a white gravy... absolutely fantastic flavor... just like Grandma used to make. Comfort food. I am not a big drinker. While they do not serve hard alcohol, they do have a good variety of beer and other spirits. I would highly recommend stopping in if you're ever in the mood to find great food and even greater people!”
“Great food and great service in a small town tavern! Reminds me of the tavern down the street from my Grandparents house where everyone knows everyone, families meet and is the hub of the town. I will definitely be back!”
“Everything is awesome and so is kindness and friendliness, especially from the owner and chef Ms Gwen From the homemade chicken soup, the deviled eggs and pickled beets homemade onion rings and fried chicken. A great place to visit for awhile. You can't go wrong and Friday no get special was Walleye with shrimp and clams Homemade desserts to die for. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Ms Gwen for our great supper.”
“Good coffee and a somewhat limited selection of relatively expensive pastries. This coffee shop is located in one corner of a Brother's grocery store, so a wide variety of additional food and grocery items are readily available. Cabin Coffee seems to do most of its business through its drive-thru window. There are just a couple of tables indoors. Spacious clean restrooms, best in Lisbon, are available in the adjacent grocery store.Wheelchair accessibility: Curb cuts, electric doors, and available accessible restrooms.”
“Met my niece and husband there for lunch. The food was wonderful and we were able to have a great visit. The server was pleasant and the food promptly served! Thanks!!”
“What an absolutely delightful discovery! Not being a Solon resident, this was new for me, but I will return! The unwich was truly lovely, especially with the added greens and bacon. The staff was warm, welcoming, and helpful!”
“Husband and I went a few weeks ago. Excited to see Solon has a great sushi and pho place around. We opted for sushi this round but excited to try the pho next. The rolls were excellent and the octopus balls were pretty tasty. Will be coming back again!!”
“Food is delicious and price is amazing! Served right away. Great variety in the buffet and the tenderloin was great. Onion rings are very good and you get a lot of them!”
“Amazing fresh baked goods! Very cute inside, only wish there was room for dine-in. Picture is of their delicious cinnamon rolls. We also had the cherry bars which were the best we’ve ever had!”
“Great food, wonderful people that will serve you. I always love going there and they are very nice. Never mess up an order the whole time I’ve been going here.”
“Great local coffee shop. Very eclectic and warm inside. Excellent home baked goods and the coffees are delicious. It is also a fun little gift shop with many unique things that you won’t find anywhere else. it is a great place to enjoy your favorite coffee & do a little shopping.”
“They made my friends wedding rehearsal dinner one for the books! A beautifully decorated space for us all, the ambiance was perfect and the food and service were phenomenal! Thank you for a memorable evening!”
“Me and my fiancé just had a little breakfast date here and it was one of the best cafe experiences I’ve had in a long time. The ladies at the counter were very polite, we both had lavender vanilla lattes, sausage egg and cheese cinnawichs and a blueberry muffin and all of it was so good. The atmosphere was amazing. Overall an amazing experience!! Will be back!!”
“These folks have the recipe and deliver. Pubs separate themselves from a 'bar' to a Pub with their kitchen and menu. No complaints at all. Everything was top notch.”
“Phenomenal Thai food. Owner gave us a free order of crab rangoon and extra rice just because (she didn't know us). She just got herself lifetime customers with great service and food.”
“What luck, traveling through Mount Vernon, and saw The Plantiful Pantry! My husband took a drive around the block to give me time to quickly Google search. We were delighted to find a plant-based cafe offering grab and go items! The flavors of the Mexican Street taco bowl danced in my mouth. My husband said that his Tuscan wrap was the best wrap he has ever had. The Compost Cookie energy bites are fantastic! The menu had wonderful items for dine in as well. I highly recommend for everyone, whether you are plant-based/vegan or not, their food will not disappoint!”
“Another example of a wonderful family owned business! Think the posted photos really tell the story. Wonderful place to do business!! Check it out and bring your sweet tooth with you!!”
“New watering hole in Solon....lots of TV's and carries ALL of the games, including recent Paramount, etc scam subscription services. An active place so far for Solon...... check it out.”
“An amazing treasure in rural Iowa. Menu is broad, with a wide selection of common favorites along with a few specialty items served only at the Skillet Cafe. We had the Skillet Plate for breakfast. Peppers and onions were cooked but still crisp, potatoes were also cooked to perfection. Eggs cooked perfectly as ordered (over medium). Service is excellent. Seated promptly and politely by courteous and helpful staff. Food served while still fresh. Follow up for drinks and other needs was very appropriate (not too little, not too much). Covid preparedness is A+. Seating is all 6 feet apart. Touch free menus available by scanning QR code at the table on your smart phone. Touch free checkout also available with credit card. Not just good Covid prep, good service. Very smart. Overall a great reason to visit Mt. Vernon Iowa as often as we can.”
“Great place to eat. Friendly staff. We ate breakfast this morning, and had a small issue. The manager came right over to see what she could do to make it right. I highly recommend this restaurant if your ever in Solon they have something for everyone.”
“The pizzas here are stellar. The crust is crisp and thin and unlike most pizzas out there, the cheese is actually used in moderation and it allows for the taste of the toppings to shine through. It is nice to have pizza with fresh herbs and tasty topping options instead of the usual various types of meat.The menu is small but all the 4 pizzas + 2 apps (meatballs + bread sticks) I tried were excellent. I would say these were among the best, if not the best, pizzas I've had in Iowa. Highly recommend.”
“You can't go wrong here because there's something for everyone, from kids to mature gourmands. And it doesn't just offer typical cafe fare. Whether you are out for a casual lunch or a celebratory dinner, you can find something that hits the spot like a traditional burger or specials like osso bucco with risotto. Vegetarian options, too. Plenty of wine and craft cocktails to choose from. Very easy atmosphere.”
“Workers are great especially Drake. He was fast and efficient, and he had a good attitude. Most of the other subways have terrible workers and they’re not nice at all. Keep up the good work.Parking: Parking was amazing”
“Great fresh chips and salsa. Keep it small , love the size of your restaurant. Everything was delicious and smelled great.Vegetarian options: Can order without meat as necessaryKid-friendliness: Chicken nuggets and fries were available for a picky eater.”
“Great service and great food! Came here on a Tuesday in the middle of the afternoon. Staff was super friendly and kind. I got a breaded tenderloin and fries. It was perfectly fried - not greasy. Would definitely come here again. Very laid back and chill. Kind of a hole in the wall, but that's ok! Come check it out!”
“Awesome bar never been to before and lived here for 30 years don't know how I missed it definitely going back food looked wonderful didn't eat just had a beer and had to go!”
“The choice of foods was excellent, something for almost hunger! I enjoyed a small portion of many of the vegestables, the choice of meats, and the salad and pizza. There was nothing that I didn't enjoy immensely! It is without doubt that my family will eat there often. Oh, yes, the price is so reasonable if not a little underpriced. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!”
“Fantastic small town restaurant atmosphere, even better food. The tenderloin is one of the very best in the Greater Cedar Rapids area and the best outside of CR.”
