“This place is my jam. Feels like home.“

“Very cute coffee shop. Tried their Pumpkin spice latte, made with homemade/organic pumpkin sauce. Delicious! Atmosphere is wonderful and friendly staff.“

“We stopped in for one and stayed all night! Felicia was an awesome bartender! Great atmosphere and a diverse crowd. Will definitely come back!“

“The shop looks like a cool lounge and Jessica was very helpful and knowledgeable about the products. I read Google reviews about this place and just had to see it for myself. I see why they have a 5 star rating! Don't make the same mistake I did though! I accidentally went to the "Hawk" vape shop across the street first and it was really really difficult to communicate with the clerk. Would recommend Hawkeye Vapor over Hawk vape shop. This store focuses on vapes, so don't bother if you're looking for a head shop. For my experience today, I'd give Jessica two thumbs way up for being so nice and professional.“

“Plenty too do pool, darts, slots, I enjoy the happy hour time .I play the slots or video gaming machines, not so busy. Also the food specials are a daily treat . I recommend the place any day of the week. If you want to get a lil wild go on a Saturday night.

Kid-friendliness: Not for kids leave little billy and little Susy at home.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes wheelchair friendly for a limited area.“

“Went for karaoke and some drinks. The drinks did their job, had a hangover this morning! Got to sing a couple songs, it's always super packed. Crowd was great and so were most of the singers. Bartenders were really earning it, they did a great job! But I was a little disappointed that I didn't see any actual vikings, maybe next time!?“

“I love this Pub! The food is great, the drinks are on point, and the staff is amazingly friendly and approachable. Even the regulars are well-behaved and sociable. I used to eat here with the old management, and I'm not saying the new management is an improvement.. but it is definitely not a downgrade, either. If you are nearby, hands down my number one recommendation. Even if you are across town, I recommend making the drive!“

“Last night was my first time going here. It's a nice dive bar atmosphere and just enough people to make it interesting. Almost all guys.

Parking: The road is blocked on Centerpoint for now. But it was easy to go around.“

“I didn't know they served food. But you can best believe I had a great time! If you're looking to relax and just plain have the time of your life Basix is where you want to be. Be there. You'll thank yourself.

Parking: It was a busy night!! Of course you want a Club to be tight on parking. Why? Cuuuuz that's where everyone else went to party at. The parking lot is brightly lit, the grounds are well kept. The atmosphere was lively!

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes there's a long ramp with a gentle incline 😉“

“Great food, service, and the restaurant is gorgeously redone!“

“My first visit to the corner pocket was on Saturday afternoon. It was relatively quiet. Only a few tables were taken. It was nice to have a place to shoot a few games of pool that's not too loud and obnoxious. We had a problem with a couple of the tables but the bar staff was very accommodating. The drinks were good. I would call this a friendly atmosphere. They have regular pool leagues, both men and women. They have 10 or 11 tables so you shouldn't have trouble finding a spot unless it's a league night.“

“Tried Taco Gato through DoorDash for the first time on a whim. Blown away. The tacos are so good! And don’t let the Bento box fool you…it’s easily enough sides for 2 or 3 meals unless you’re super hungry. I got the 5 sides because I was curious about different dishes- it will probably take me a week to get through them all. The salad…even the salad was amazing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Fun place... excellent food and great people!!“

“Truly a gem in Cedar Rapids. The food is spectacular - if you are looking for fresh authentic Mexican food that tastes like it was made by family, this is your spot. Our family especially enjoys burritos and quesadillas. The prices are very reasonable as well. 5/5 absolutely recommend!“

“Came down to The Red Frog to try their Pork Belly Mac and Cheese and it did not disappoint! The Spicy Cauliflower app was also on point! Can’t wait to return and check out the other yummy things their menu has to offer. Great atmosphere and the staff was terrific! 🤩“

“food is good, but today Saturday it took 40 minutes to get our food. they where not busy at all“

“The employees here are always super nice and the food is awesome! Super cool that they’re featuring some old classics from the establishment before them “Cork n Fork”! I think people from the area probably really appreciate how special that is! I had the chili dog and fries with dill spread….. SO DANG GOOD! 😇“

“The greatest trivia night in Cedar Rapids.“

“Hannah bear rocks at rock bar! We love the drinks and atmosphere! ♥️♥️👏“

“Italian beef was superb! Next time I would try stuffed pizza, just didn't have time. Stopped thru quick on a road trip and glad we took a chance on this place not knowing anything about it. Great staff, chef came up to us to ask how it was. Melody was our bartender/server and she was amazing!“
