“This historic hotel and cafe/restaurant is a gem. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. We love the historic feel of the place without the mustiness. This place is well kept and clean and gives you a nostalgic feeling. Loved the paintings through the restaurant.”

“Had lunch here today with a friend. Excellent service, drinks and food. We had the shrimp fajitas, low carb. Loaded with fresh vegetables in place of rice and beans. Can’t wait to come back.”

“We are so absolutely lucky to have this little gem in town! Their coffee is amazing, but these refreshers are so good and perfect for our hot Iowa summers! This is the Pineapple Cherry Refresher and it’s SO GOOD!”

“This place is very authetic. The food is very delicious and fresh. It doesn't make you bloat afterwards. It is a plus that you know speak Spanish when you order because the girl who took our order only spoke Spanish. We knew a little, but due to our lack of Spanish we ended up ordering more food that we wanted. The place was clean and they have a restroom.”

“Since my past review I've been back this place has improved far more. The service and experience is much better. There is no more waiting in line for food to be made, there always someone there to greet and serve you, there smiles are genuine. So I recommend this place if you're looking for a delicious grilled burger for low price. Chris Hidlebaugh is an employee there and he deserves a raise. He is Fantastic.
Vegetarian options: Impossible Whopper, Onion Rings, French Fries, as well as other things.
Dietary restrictions: They are willing to make it the way you want it. You simply have to ask them to add Oreo remove whatever you want or don't want.
Kid-friendliness: They offer happy meals and fun BK Crowns for the kiddo's.”
“Always been welcoming, large space for crowds. Affordable .”
“First time.....hot chocolate wasn't so hot I couldn't drink it but it could have had a richer flavor. Donuts were ice cold but decent tasting. We didn't care for the bacon-burrito. I would try other things & didn't feel it was any more "price wise" than any of the other fast food choices.”

“Sucks they don’t take the subway coupons. Really need to post a sign stating this absurd policy.”
“Was hoping this was the same as the Metro Buffet in Cedar Rapids...close, but not the same. Although they didn't have sushi, they had plenty of really good food. The owner came around a couple of times to chat and tell us about the business. It is a really affordable and delicious option. We'll visit again when we're back that way.”

“My husband ordered online and I got there 30 minutes late to pick it up and the food would be cold but the staff members made me a fresh and hot meal and I was amazed by the quality of the service. I appreciate it so much!???”
