“Fantastic food and great service!Our waitress was kind, prompt, informative, funny, and personable. Everything you could ask for and more from the staff there.And the food was fantastic! We will most certainly be back.Plus they have a plethora of TV screens so if there's a game on, you can watch the game as well!“

“I went here with some friends for a puzzle night and we had a blast. The food was great, the drinks were even better, and the bar owner was a hoot. It may be a limited menu but just get the smash burger and I promise you'll be happy. Yum.

The bar was pretty packed most of the night and there was only one bartender working for a few hours so be realistic about how long it's going to take to get your orders if that's the case. One person can only do so much! Service picked up significantly when the second bartender arrived, too.

The facilities were clean, the acoustics weren't too loud like some dive bars can get, and did I mention the smash burgers? I will definitely be going here again.“

“My favorite hangout in Oxford and very cozy "laid back" feeling.“

“I love Fat Wally's not just for the pool, not the wide range of beers and drinks, or even the fact that its a cash bar. I love it because the owner, Curt, has made an environment that college kids and old folks alike fit in. Truly a gem of CR.

It's so easy. Hit up the bar, hand them your ID and grab some balls. Tables reliably fill up by 10pm on Fridays and 9pm-ish on Saturdays, so get there early.“

“this is my Cheers and I'm Norm 5/5 ⭐“

“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.“

“Friendly staff. A awesome tenderloin basket.“

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

“Help is poor excuse for a Bar always on his phone Bartender more interested in talking to friends than waiting on customers.“

“Good service... The atmosphere or vibes in there feels a bit ghetto, but I personally dig a more low-key casually dressed place after work on a Friday night. And, obviously, if you like to play pool, this is your spot. They've got several pool tables. Fried bar food will run you roughly $9 regular price before tax. A double shot of Jose Blanco cigar me $6 I believe and a shot of Patron runs $10. I think my margarita cost about $5 or $6 as well. The two lady bartenders were easy to conversate with.. not over the top hyper or snooty. They handled that bar crowd Friday night with ease - just cool, calm, and collected ..no sweat! Pretty good bar tenders, those two knew their stuff & were attentive for the most part. So I personally like their service and staff members are clearly trained well. I prefer the dark sweat your tail off grinding with hot guys all night or a group of your gal pals sort of bar scene, but that's probably because I would choose dressed up over casual and I don't play pool. 🫶“

“Simplemente me encantó!!! Es como si hubiera comido tacos realmente de México... Y eso es muy difícil de encontrar en USA! Todo muy bien... 100% recomendado! Seguro en mis próximas vacaciones regresaré sin dudarlo.“

“The campechano burrito (steak and chorizo is AMAZING! Ask them to add onion and cilantro! A game changer!!! Angel is a great server! Thank you! So delicious!!“

“This place is a hidden gem! The building is about 150 years old, but the inside is updated and clean. The menu said that the building once housed a saloon and hotel. I had a turkey Reuben and fries that were tasty and reasonably priced. They were selling a lot of pizzas that looked good- maybe next time. I appreciated the relaxed atmosphere. We watched a football game while we ate. I would feel comfortable bringing kids here with me.“

“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 💕“

“Good just some of the bartenders seem only interested in helping guys other than that free water and good prices plus great music love coming here when u have a chance

Parking: Parking is a b**** but get there before 10 and almost all the spots are open“

“yes I have eaten there and yes the food is great .“

“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! 😇“

“Awesome food great timeless appeal! Cedar Rapids oldest bar and a great place to eat. Jeff is a wonderful owner/host and Amy is a delight. The tenderloin is classic, smash burgers are amazing. Beverage selection is wide without the high prices! A must visit place in CR and kid friendly.“

“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!“

“Great venue for bands. Drink prices are reasonable, and the staff were awesome (friendly and accommodating). A welcoming environment for everyone. They hosted a great show for Mercury's Crown & Big Hair Mafia, who both rocked the house. Would definitely come back to see more shows here.“
