“Drinks were tasty! My husband enjoyed the Easy Eddy and I sipped on the Sutliff Cider just happened in during Happy Hour 3-6. Emma was helpful in making our decision with the choice of to go drinks. She was polite and knowledgeable about the product! Great stop on our road trip to grab some drinks for the cabin getaway. Emma gave us some stickers so we will remember Big Grove! We will be back! Great customer service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Our family had lunch at the Cafe and it was fabulous! Maddie was our server and she was the best. Food was great and the Cafe was beautiful. Thank you, we will be back!“

“I had the crispy chicken sandwhich and the come back sauce is amazing. thier house made ranch is so good too. We sampled the cheese curds and the fried pickles...perfect. Service was friendly and helpful.“

“Celebrated my 70th birthday here last Friday night and the food/service was spectacular. They really catered to us. The six of us shared the charcuterie board and devoured it (plenty for six people though). The Chilean Sea Bass, Filet, Salmon, and Short Ribs were excellent. The flourless chocolate cake and bread pudding were very good. Highly recommend this place. Thanks to Hannah for providing us top notch service.“

“We went for lunch today with a large group! The service was amazing. We came right when they opened and they got us set up right away. The food was so good!!! Will def be back :)“

“Our server Jaden was polite on top of things and very helpful. He assisted with seating us when no one helped to seat us after standing at the host stand for roughly 10 minutes in a not busy resturan he tried at least. Until the manager was not so nice, disrespectful, raised her voice, and was rude to him for seating us because no one else would. He did tell him thank you for trying. She was beyond rude. Dont belittle your staff infront of guest. Recommended options when a couple of us didnt know what we wanted.“

“I finally got time to stop for lunch today. Amazing. Service was quick. The sweet tea was good, and the tenderloin and fries were smoking hot and came out fast. I'm not a cole slaw guy, but it was good. Totally awesome. But if you're not really hungry, get the smaller sandwich. I finished the large, but I shouldn't have. ;)“

“Everything they make is amazing!“

“I had my graduation party in one of the event spaces, and it was amazing!! The bartenders and caterers were so hardworking, and Mackenzie (our event coordinator) made sure everything was perfect. Highly recommended!!“

“The NEW Foundry in North liberty is AMAZING!! Always great food, Always a friendly smile, the food & service is what ppl go to restaurants for and GREAT food & GREAT service is definitely what you will receive here! The managers make sure the atmosphere is welcoming along with all the staff. Great place for all sizes of parties whether its 1 ppl to a latge group, they are always willing to accommodate and make it happen. This new restaurant has been booming & Im sure its ranked at #1 in the area so far! Soo happy my daughter has found her calling to serve as she continues her nursing studies! I definitely recommend everyone to check them out!!“

“I booked the party room for a party of 22 for my brother's graduation. The initial manager I spoke to (I think Amanda?) was amazing, helpful! Another manager greeted us when we arrived (I didn't catch his name) super friendly and welcoming! We had a lot of kids in our party, our waitress, Emerson, was AMAZING! The food and drinks were fantastic!!!! Would highly recommend!!!“

“Ethan aat the front security, was awesome and understanding when I realized I had something in my pockets he offered to hold it for me until I left. Awesome people, he could have turned me away but instead worked things out for me to go in. 10 out of 10. Will return“

“Very unique, creative and very delicious food!When we were there, we tried the west coast wrap and it was full of greens and grilled chicken, goat cheese and pistachios.Fresh food, made to order.One goes up to the register to order and then you wait while they fix your food and then you take it and go sit down. They are multi-level, it's narrow and not excessively deep, but there is quite of bit of seating for two people or four people and even if you're just by yourself. There are larger tables up stairs, (they have two floors) The restrooms are on the second floor, as well. Stairs are used to access the second level.They also have very tasty drinks.We had the blueberry lemonade.

Vegetarian options: I do believe that you could get any wrap adjusted to your dietary needs. One could turn a wrap vegetarian. One could add cheese or leave off cheese. I think that they would accommodate that.

Kid-friendliness: I would say it was kid friendly. There is a big front window and it seems like a very fun place that children would like to be.

Parking: Street parking at metered spots, or one could park in the car park(ramps) and walk.“

“The best tots evet“

“Nice surprise, I heard a lot of bad things about Applebee's but it's all the opposite, we really liked our experience
Food: good with interesting menus and attractive prices
Service: very friendly and accommodating waitress
Atmosphere: a little too dark for my taste but no complaints, everyone has their own space to discuss properly“

“I went to a family event here and the service was amazing. We were asked consistently if we needed drinks. The food was very fresh and good, I would recommend their boneless wings, very tasty! Plus their ranch dressing is the bomb! Everyone was super friendly. Thank you all for such a wonderful night.“

“found by accident was a great experience. woman at the cash register was friendly and helpful to us first timers!! food was fresh, hot and delicious!!!“

“Very impressed. Single page, homecrafted menu items. Single page is the first tell tale sign of a good place. It seems counter intuitive, but restaurants only have so much money to put towards buying items; the more they have to spend per item, the lower the quality. Not to mention how creative you have to be to think of many pages of complex dishes.

I got the pork with demi-glace and it was perfectly cooked. Wish I got a photo to post here. Perfect sear w/maintained moisture. Good presentation too. Vegetables on side and well made. $22 on the menu I believe. Very worth the price.

I generally dont eat out, especially these days, as restaurant prices have gone up but quality has gone down. That is not the case here. If lived closer I would eat here a fair bit. Kudos

Dietary restrictions: Many things on the menu are either gluten free or can be made that way. Clear markings“

“Decent bar & grill on the river.

Parking: There is decent parking available for everyone to include handicap.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, the BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER & the Bar are HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE.“

“The most delicious red velvet cupcakes I've ever had!“

“Big expectations. Some met, others not so much. We gladly paid the corkage on a ten year old special Napa Cab we brought with us. We did get it decanted properly. A+ to the waitstaff. Started with Sourdough and shrimp cocktail. $15 Sourdough was dry and sent to the bin. Shrimp was fresh and crisp and poached well to that special cool crispness. Pea soup was amazing with great presentation. Duck egg pasta house made was also a highlight. Needed some peas and bacon in the pasta, but then that's a pasta carbonara right? Hint to the chef. Scallops were done to perfection and vegetables were fresh. We wanted red meat to go with the wine, but the only offering was a 52oz aged Waygu for $365. Not very couple friendly. We would have loved to order a sharable filet or smaller bone in ribeye. None were offered. Would have liked to see a whole fish option or at least something like Seabass or black cod offered. You won't find white tablecloths here, nor black or white table linen offered even though you would expect that at this price level. We lingered and did not feel rushed. Crowd was typical college town vibe. Parking is on the street, be prepared to walk.“

“Classic dive bar. If it's not made in the fryer or griddle they don't have it. But it's a good stop for bar food if you don't want the bougie food closer to campus. Server was a bit confused but in the best possible way. Too many jobs to remember which bar she was working that day. Teased her a bit and she responded in kind. Love these types of places.“

“I went today for the first time and loved it! I ordered the iced raspberry white mocha latte and the bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast burrito, which was served with salsa on the side. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food and drinks had great quality and flavor. Quiet and chill atmosphere with plenty of seating. I will definitely be back to try more and would recommend!“

“Great service, food, and spirts. Funny thing after getting my bill for three well drinks and three IPA’s and splitting a tenderlion for 65.00 All I can seem to remember is the .95 up charge for a side of mayo. Makes me not want to come back and I really like the place.“

“Fun place and friendly staff. Good for kids and family. Food and cooks were off during our lunch visit. Salad was good but more than some lettuce was brown; sandwich had old rubbery Swiss cheese and slab of chicken or turkey, and Margherita pizza had little flavor, a few tiny pieces of old basil, and doughy crust. A waste of a wood-fired oven. Go for fun, not food.“

“this is my favorite restaurant in iowa city. the hamburgers here are just so amazing. the atmosphere is fantastic. and i would die for a pie shake. it cannot be overstated how good this place is.“

“The Carmel apple cider is fanominal!!! Thanks for creating another great one to drink !“

“We pulled into this place and we immediatly felt a LOTO vibe. They have a merchandise shop and neat decor not to mention a decent drink list.
We opted for the rum runners and they were fantastic, so was the catfish and the burgers.
We will be back!
Thanks to June for taking care of us andthe great service!“

“Food was awesome! Our server Vera was amazing. We loved her! Will be back.“

“We had the best burgers!! Definitely try the Dundee!!! SO yum!!“

“Tenderloins are excellent! Cheese balls are too! Love the frozen custard. People are very friendly!!“

“Ate here for the first time before attending an Iowa basketball game nearby. There were good choices on the menu. I had the spicey Italian meatball grinder with fries. It was good and very filling. Prices seemed reasonable. The place was noisy so it was hard to socialize with my friends. Otherwise, a good place to eat and would go there again if in town.“

“I loved this place so much! I was in town visiting family from Wisconsin and my dad and I came here for brunch today (7/14/2024) before I had to drive back home. I don’t recall our servers name but they were so, so sweet! My dad has been there a ton and loves the corned beef hash. I tried the ah-nold sandwich. Hands down the most amazing sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. I can’t wait to visit again!“

“Selection and cleanliness are both great but the reason I wanted to review was actually for the mother’s room- it is my first time using one provided by HyVee and it was so nice! It was private and comfortable. There was a place to nurse, change the diaper and wash hands all in one place. It was unexpectedly very nice and I am grateful. We were able to get our groceries AND take care of our four month old 💕“

“We were passing through town and found this wonderful spot just 20 minutes before it closed. We each got a burger and fries and they were absolutely delicious. Even better than the food was the extraordinary staff. Each one was exceptionally kind and accommodating. If we lived closer we'd be regulars. Thank you for the great food and fun lunch.“

“👍🏻👍🏻 One of my favorite local restaurants!“

“Delicious food and always friendly service. Highly recommended.“

“New remodel is definitely worth checking out!“

“My husband and I decided to try Naomi’s Kitchen because dinner was always a hassle in the evenings. With a 7 mo old, two dogs and both of us working, we decided it was time to start outsourcing some things! We are 3 meals in and are SOLD! The meals are delicious, easy to heat and the staff is so kind. I can NOT recommend this service enough.“

“Food here was EXCELLENT! I highly recommend! We will definitely be back!“

“Excellent customer service from Thomas the friendly guy in the bar area, he went above and beyond providing me a wonderful customer service during my first visit. He is making a positive impact in people's lives. God bless him and wishing all the best for this business!

“The Slammin’ Salmon omelette was awesome!“

“Amazing food that tasted as good as it looked! Staff was so personable and genuinely courteous. Tyson was our server that we will always remember for his kindness, attentiveness and over-the-top care. Great experience! 5 stars! Thank you!“

“My kind of dive bar! Will definitely be going again! The staff was exceptional... Very attentive. The owner seemed very nice as well. I stumbled on a night of volleyball going on outside and trivia inside. Seemed like everyone was having a great time. I had the sirloin and mashed potatoes for dinner. Was ok but I plan on trying other dishes. Has a little more than your typical bar food.“
