Restaurants near Palo

“Tried Whiskey River for the first time last night. I want to preface this by saying that I called last week and asked if they could accommodate a party of 12-15 the next Monday. The girl who answered (i think it was Lacey but im not 100% sure) was very sweet and said they could forsure do that. I told her it was for my daughter's 21st and she even told me she gets a free shot. Over the weekend more people decided to join us. So Monday morning I called back and asked if the could accommodate 25. I also told her we were willing to sit on the patio to make it easier. She said it was no problem and that she would let the night staff know. Lacey was very sweet and professional! On to my review. Our party showed up between 530 and 6 in increments. I was late (I always am lol) and found out our server was Leann (spelling?) She was very sweet and ran her bitt off all night. We are a demanding but kind group so I give her props. Also because we were on the patio there were flies and a lot of the no-see-um bugs. Absolutely, nothing that they could have done about the no-see-ums, but she apologized at the end of our meal anyways. So I thought that was very thoughtful of her. They did have fans to help (it didn't no offense) so I would suggest maybe the fire pits or the tiki heaters to help stave them off. (They are attracted to Co2 and moisture) Not sure if it would work but it's worth a shot :) The food took a little bit for some (we had 25 people order in a 10 min period I am NOT complaining at all) but was hot and fresh (definitely not warmer hot) when it came out. So of the dishes we tried: Wings - Delicious. Flavor and sauce was so good. Dill Pickle Cheese Curds - huge serving. Just the right amount of pickle flavor. Fajita Salad - huge portion of steak well made Whiskey Burger - good flavor. A little too well done but still good Chicken Tenders - flavorful and seemed to be the hand breaded type. Pulled Pork Nachos - Huge portion. Good mix of toppings. Lots of meat. Steak - Cooked to perfection and delicious Chicken Sandwich - Huge. Crispy buy not too. Good flavor. OVERALL 9.5/10 Will definitely be back”

“We love our small town bar, Brogans!”

“a friend told me about this place. so gf and I hopped on the motorcycle for a lunch ride. pork belly sample was definitely on point ,tender juice, and full of flavor.. I got the brisket mac bowl. was delicious brisket was ful of flavor not heavy smoke taste.. gf had pull chicken she said it was really good. had lots of flavor.”

“Great pizza and dessert!”

“Best fine dining restaurant in Cedar Rapids. My wife and I had dinner here tonight for our Anniversary. The Niman Ranch Flat Iron was one of the best plates of food I’ve ever had. Service was exceptional all around. 10/10 - no notes.”

“Má ơi, ngon quá. This sandwich shop serves the most authentic Vietnamese Bánh mì in the area. I’ve tried many places from Iowa City - Hiawatha. This shop is the best from taste to price compared to the others. I recommend getting the #1 Bánh mì đặc biệt / specialty, and wash it down with a cafe sữa đá / Vietnamese Ice Coffee. The shop also offers an array of various drinks if coffee isn’t your thing. I highly recommend anyone to stop in for a good lunch. Sandwich and drink here taste better, more filling, and priced better than going to a place like Subway.”

“Very fast service, spring rolls and stir fry lemongrass steak were amazing”

“Loved this place but it has gone down hill. Service was horrible. Food cold. 3 people standing at hostress stand, 1 being the manager. I went up and asked for some ketchup that we had been waiting for about 15 minutes. 3 out of 7 in our party had finished their meals. The manager was nasty to me stating "We are Busy" He did get it but by then the sandwhich wasn't good.”

“Food is great! Love the atmosphere!”

“Amazing food and the freshest salads I’ve found in Cedar Rapids. Patio is awesome with misters for hot days 🥰”

“been super sick and ordered the blueberry rainbow jelly tea and some beef pho.. it was hot and fresh and delicious thanks for the fix!!”

“We love our weekend trips to Kismet! They always have creative and tasty specials, as well as beautiful flower arrangements to look at while you wait. Literally the best espresso in Cedar Rapids and the friendliest people. We recommend Kismet to everybody we can!”

“We love this place, Its a hidden gem in a stripe mall. You would never think such a good super nice, clean restaurant would be in there. We Live in Waterloo so this is our treat when we come to Cedar Rapids. The service here is always fantastic! The food is so good and you get nice size portions, for me they are actually huge because I don't eat much. The rolls are to die for and I personally love their salads. I like the small croutons they use, so much easier to eat. I actually think they would do much more business if they had their own stand a lone restaurant.”

“I love this place so much. So much I’m putting this place and my favorite server in my novels. The family is so sweet and kind, good is really good and at a good price. A true gem.”

“We stopped in first time today. We had breakfast sliders and Mac attack tacos. Yum! Food was hot and very good. Definitely will go back. Freshest buns I ever had and high quality meat. Friendly attentive staff too”
