“Another family owned jem. Lots of fun food, great fries and a nice (but little) town. Check out the breaded tender loin below!!! Now that's a meal in itself!!Don't forget to hit the Star Trek museum if you're a Star Trek fan.”
“Lovely dinner date with my husband. Ginger was an excellent server and made sure our experience was exceptional. The food was unique and delicious-the chef has made some traditional favorites his own and enhanced our enjoyment by making it an adventure in new things. Filet was perfect in the French Onion soup pairing, melt in your mouth! I don't think I've enjoyed a baked potato that much in years-lavish amount of butter made it better! Will return again-definitely worth the short drive from Iowa City to have top notch food.”
“Extremely great service! Always enjoy our time at this restaurant. The manager named Nick is always very kind to us and checks to make sure we are satisfied. Food always comes out quick and I especially enjoy the omelettes. Have had Angie and Terri as servers and they always do great!”
“Sydney is our server, she is absolutely wonderful every time, today was no exception! The food is great and well presented! Staff is keeping busy, friendly and helpful. Everything is clean and tidy! Management helped me to find where to leave a review, love this online option! Thank you for exceptional staff and experiences!”
“Well they only had wheat bread, which when your a fan of Italian herb and cheese it's kind of a let down. But I tried the churro and the pretzel. Both had my jaw so tired from chewing. I never finished either.”
“We have never been disappointed at Robert's Buffet in Riverside Iowa ( Riverside Casino and Golf Resort). Their " All you can eat crab legs" are always steamed to perfection. All other foods and desserts on the buffet would even make Gordon Ramsey smile at their quality and presentation. We have eaten breakfast, lunch, and supper there...all meals are superbly prepared. The host and hostesses are so pleasant when serving you. Most employees have been there 10-20 years. The atmosphere of the dining hall is very comforting.”
“This bakery has such a wonderful selection of Amish and Mennonite fresh baked goods as well as many other items. The caramel pecan rolls are so amazing. The strawberry (or maybe it’s raspberry?) angel food cake is also rock star level delicious! They have jams, jellies, homemade bread, noodles, and a variety of preserved fruits and vegetables. They carry handcrafted wooden items and a wide variety of various retail souvenirs. The ladies tending the store were very helpful and quite pleasant. This bakery is easy to find and has plenty of ample parking.”
“If you like small town bars with awesome food, this is your "to-go" place!! Beers are icy cold and the service was great. Not my first time here and obviously from my review, won't be the last. Enjoy the small town atmosphere, relax and just have a drink if nothing else. Cheers.”
“My morning is not complete without stopping here to get my daily dose of friendly service, smiles as I walk through the door and delicious tea bombs to give me the boost I need! Thank you foe coming into our community and making a difference.”
“This place is the best! Their baked goods and breads are top notch. Every time I have been there, the store was beautifully decorated. I highly recommend stopping by to anyone who is nearby!”
“I've attended several horse and tack auctions. Very efficiently run. Getting a bidding number, and paying for the items you purchased are done as quickly as possible.”
“Our favorite local coffee place!! We’ve been coming here for a decade and it’s still a favorite. It also has a cute play area for kids.Dietary restrictions: A variety of milk alternativesParking: Sometimes you have to walk about a block or more on busy Saturdays but literally every other day of the week it’s easy to find parking.Kid-friendliness: Indoor play area”
“So delicious!!! I had the garlic chicken and my wife tried the rack of lamb and was over the moon!! We also got the chocolate cake and lemon cake to go. The dessert itself is worth the trip.”
“There's nothing better than ice cream while chatting on a street corner! I never know who I get to chat with while in line. My favorite combination is the green apple ice cream with caramel and nuts-it's the perfect salty, sweet, with a hint of sour.”
“The food was great and the service was pretty quick. They have nice pictures on the walls and they play good music. There is this red salsa at the salsa bar that they have, everyone should try it!”
“The fried mushrooms and ranch are delicious! I also enjoy the pork tenderloin and patty melt. They make orders fresh, so be prepared to enjoy chatting with other patrons and locals while you wait.”
“My family and I had lunch and we were beyond impressed, the employees were helpful and kind and the food was amazing, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend!!!”
“Good food and drink spot in Kalona! In the words of my friend: "There's a few restaurants and the brewery... the brewery is good." Upon arrival, we saw the place was nearly empty and requested a table a bit of distance away from others as one of our group members is immunosupressant. The younger hostess got frustrated with us quickly and almost made us want to leave. SERVICE: 5/5 We opted for a spot at the bar - since it was basically empty - and this saved our experience. The bartender (and our server) was extremely kind and fun, as well as the other woman working that evening. We loved connecting and chatting with them! DRINKS: 5/5 I got a root beer on tap, and the rest of our group got flights. They loved their beers - some cool nitro, IPAs, barrel aged, coffee stout, and more. Honestly really impressive options for Kalona! One of the servers even showed us her favorite - mixing the cider with their sour. FOOD: 4/5 For food, our crew enjoyed the pork tenderloin sandwich and black and bleu burger. Unfortunately, the stir fry rice was too mushy and overdone. AMBIANCE: 4/5 Cozy vibes, but the seating arrangements are a bit funny - there's a large space on one side with no seating, and you can't eat at the sofas.”
““They forgot to cut my pizza, and it look bad. We had to cut the pizza ourselves smh. Them cookies do be smackin though.” I got confused whether this was at Washington or Kalona. Turns out this was in Washington. Sorry about that.”
“Good Mexican food for Iowa. The service was a little slow as waiter never came back and checked on us after the food was delivered.Kid-friendliness: Good kid menu”
