“. Fantastic place! I recently moved from Chicago and have been here twice already. The food is amazing, and the customer service is beyond exceptional. All of the staff are kind and professional, but Lily truly deserves special recognition, she has the best serving attitude, outstanding customer service, and makes guests feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. Her positive energy and professionalism make a real difference. Wishing everyone here continued success, I’ll definitely be back again!“

“Terrible experience, very disappointed with our visit today. We talked about going there all weekend because we enjoy the 86. Drove over an hour to get there by four today because they were closing early. The girl at the front was very sweet. We were very excited to be there and told her it was our first time there. She said we could sit down and order or go to the bar. We sat down and several servers looked at us, but no one waited on us. We went to the bar and said we had never been there before. A guy said there is a menu on the counter but I'll be over there cleaning, let me know what you want and walked away. We had no idea what we were doing since it was our first time there. I wanted to try wines and my husband whiskey, but not if no one wanted to wait on us. So, we looked at each other and decided to leave. Once in the parking lot I realized it was a long way home and I should use the restroom first. So, I went back in, and I told the girl behind the counter we were leaving because no one waited on us, but I needed to use the restroom first. When I came out of the restroom she said to enjoy the rest of our day. Would have had a better day if we could have tried something... Went from very excited to be there to can't wait to leave...“

“Sushiya Japanese was such a random road trip find for us and honestly turned out to be a hidden gem. We ended up stopping there during a work trip and it was so good that we’ve now gone back again when passing through the area.

The sushi tasted incredibly fresh, the rolls were creative without being overcomplicated, and everything we tried was excellent. You can tell they really care about quality and presentation. It’s one of those smaller places that completely surprises you once the food comes out.

The atmosphere is also really nice and relaxed, and the service has been great both times we’ve gone. Friendly staff, quick service, and consistently amazing food.

Definitely one of those places you wouldn’t expect to randomly find on a road trip, but once you do, you remember it and want to stop again every time you’re nearby. Total hidden gem.“

“Everything was wonderful, start to finish. We had gluten free La Verte and gluten free L'Ocean. Delicious, delicate, and definitely something we'll come back for! We finished off our meal sharing a gluten free Paris dessert crepe. Beautiful and tasted better than it looks!“

“The tunes are fresh and wild.“

“I had my second visit today for lunch and I was pleasantly impressed even over my high expectations from my first visit. this will be a main stop any time I am in town. I forgot the bartenders name but he was working at 230 pm on Feb 24th. absolutely fantastic service“

“Amazing restaurant.Great atmosphere and very attentive employees. We look forward to visiting again!“

“Food is great! Especially the cheese curds & Monte Cristo! Service is slightly above average. Atmosphere is also nice.“

“What a lovely space. Open and clean. Lots of outdoor tables that are all cover. Went the for the time today that we try someplace new. Well, what a great surprise. The food was delicious and the service excellent thank you Bree. You were great. I recommend this highly and the menu was great. The drinks were delicious and something a little different than the ordinary. Thanks for a great brunch.“

“The Carnitas platter was excellent . Good service and cold beer. Fast and pleasant atmosphere.“

“I am a celiac and was pleasantly surprised that they have a whole gluten-free menu with lots of options! One of the servers said that she is a celiac, too. That was cool.
The only thing that made me nervous was the wooden cutting boards they served my gluten free food on. Not sure how they clean them, or if they keep them separate from gluten serving boards, but I know we should mistrust all wooden utensils due to their absorbency. These had obvious cut marks on them and everything.
Happily though, I didn't feel and signs of being glutened. With major gluten ingestions I definitely feel symptoms, and I had none to report here. Hopefully that bodes well.

Dietary restrictions: Celiacs may want to be wary but I think that, pending confirmation about their serving boards, this should be safe. I did not experience symptoms of having gotten glutened, at least. The food was delicious.“

“Fantastic food, great service! Quality food! Definitely a hidden gem we are so happy exists!!“

“Those searching for real Italian food, COME HERE! The food tasted pretty much like Italy, amazing pizza crust and their pasta had that unique flavor you can only find in Europe. Along with the unique food was unique service. Christopher has mastered his job, it just makes me want to go back and talk to him more. Thank you chefs and servers for an amazing experience ❤️“

“The service was outstanding and the cleanliness was superb. The buffet was stocked regularly and cleaned for a presentable representation of who they are. Overall I would say this is a place that has the atmosphere you want to share with anyone.“

“Great Service, Food, atmosphere. Will visit again when in town.“

“Everything they make is amazing!“

“I had the U-The-Chef omelette. I like that they offer egg whites as a substitute for whole eggs. I am vegetarian and noticed that you can get a vegetarian patty as a substitute for ground beef patties. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We will be back!“

“Pagliai’s Pizza is the kind of place that reminds you why the best dining experiences are often the simplest. Tucked away in Iowa City, this unassuming neighborhood institution feels like a hidden treasure — and after our first visit, the only disappointment was realizing it took us four years, and the eve of graduation, to finally discover it. What makes Pagliai’s even more remarkable is its history. Serving Iowa City since 1957, the restaurant has spent decades perfecting the art of traditional pizza-making, and that experience is evident in every detail. In an era where restaurants constantly chase trends, Pagliai’s has endured by staying true to what it does best. From the moment you walk in, Pagliai’s embraces an old-school charm that feels increasingly rare. The dining room is cozy and inviting, filled with classic booths and intimate tables that create the perfect atmosphere for an authentic pizza night. There’s no unnecessary flash here — just a restaurant that knows exactly what it is and executes it beautifully. The menu follows the same philosophy of simplicity done right. Beer, wine, and soda accompany what is unquestionably the star of the show: the pizza. Offered in both original crust and double dough, the pies arrive perfectly crafted and unapologetically delicious. We ordered two large original crust pizzas, and every slice passed the ultimate “flop test” with flying colors — crisp enough to hold its shape, yet still perfectly tender with each bite. What makes Pagliai’s so memorable is its confidence in tradition. The ingredients are fresh, the flavors are balanced, and the experience feels refreshingly genuine. Add in prices that are remarkably reasonable, and it becomes clear why this Iowa City staple has thrived for nearly seven decades. Whether you’re a longtime Iowa City resident or simply passing through, Pagliai’s Pizza is a must-visit destination — a timeless pizza parlor that quietly delivers one of the best meals in town.“

“First time here, AMAZING food and service! Missouri to Reds Alehouse“

“Great Food,Service,Cleanliness and Outdoor Seating,FirePlace,and Decorative Huts!“

“SO happy to see that Saigon’s Corner is now on Chomp! (Maybe this isn’t new, but I don’t remember seeing them there before). We got a ton of food for a very reasonable price, it was very well packaged (pho broth separate from noodles, veg, protein, etc), arrived in a very reasonable time (even on a Saturday night) and it was all fresh and really delicious. We easily have enough for lunch for both of us tomorrow as well. We will definitely be ordering again, and can’t wait!!“

“The service and the food was great!“

“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.“

“After a long day in the sun, went for a drink and had the best waitress around. The sun makes me grumpy but Ms. Hannah's bubbly spirit and kindness was just what I needed to not finish the day in disaster ❤️ Big Grove, you are lucky to have this little peanut and will be a big reason I return 🍻“

“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“

“Food was made fresh when ordered and was really good. Definitely going back next time I'm in Iowa City.“

“Oh my gosh we are here for my 25th birthday and the food was *chef kiss* delicious!! From our entrees to my birthday dessert was phenomenal and I can’t wait to eat here again!! Everything was very well seasoned and so fresh!“

“Best Mexican food in the area!!! Sat quickly and our server Marcela was exceptional. The menu is quite large but she was able to make it simple and made good recommendations. The burrito Tacuba was excellent. She also suggested the chicken tortilla soup which was perfect for the cold weather!!

Marcela doubled as our bartender and suggested the spicy margarita and the choco-rita. I couldn’t believe tequila and chocolate worked so perfectly!!

My only complaint is the lighting. Too dark for my eyes. 9/10 will come back soon!!!“

“Had a wonderful dining experience at Watermill Kitchen + Bar. The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it a great spot for both casual meals and special occasions. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The menu offers a nice variety of American dishes, and everything our table ordered was cooked perfectly.

The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Service was efficient without feeling rushed. Overall, a fantastic restaurant with great food, excellent service, and a welcoming environment. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to coming back.“

“All the sushi was amazing!!“

“Food is delicious and the staff is the best. Only the second time there and they remembered us. Their was also a power outage that knocked out the entire street. They did great under pressure!!!! If you haven’t tried it you must. Even the 10 year old tries something new and loved it“

“Always great pizza, every time. Long time customer (decades by now) !“

“their chicken bacon ranch pizza is fantastic!“

“We come here regularly when we're in town to see a show at Hancher. Never been disappointed. We were there on May 2 for an early dinner. Best server ever! Brady -- he was new but handled everything wonderfully. Always smiling, attentive without hovering and always found an answer to any questions we had quickly. Please give this guy a raise!“

“Brothers is THE place in IOWA CITY ! Was back in town since graduating last year and gosh I miss that place so much . Had a great bartender named Zach and he was just so dope the whole night 🥵 the music was aight but nevertheless bartending and vibe there is nothing short of brilliant !🤑 if you haven’t been what are you doing ! Go live a little !“

“Great atmosphere, food, and Jen is the best waitress! Can’t wait to go back!“

“In visiting my college student. Great environment. Fellow diners were all calm and enjoying their foods. The little kid that was part of the kitchen family that sat in the dining area is really well behaved, respectful when told to do anything. Our food was delivered at a short time (within 10 min) & was so yum! I had the chicken and broccoli and my son had the Kung pao chicken platter. Definitely recommend this place. Thank you!“

“Wow great sandwiches in such a hidden spot! Brian gave particularly wonderful service and I felt very taken care of by the warm friendly staff and amazing sandwiches. As a St Louis resident with a great sandwich scene I can say the recommendation was well worth going out of my way for!“

“Fantastic place! Food, Decor, Customer Service. Love it!“

“The Slammin’ Salmon omelette was awesome!“

“Our food was good and our service during our meal was good. The pay process is not, we had to scroll thru a large ticket on the table top pay kiosk for each person so everyone could pay. It would have been better to have our tickets split up for us.“

“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.“

“Them Tacos Boiy🔥soo good!“

“First time ordering from here and I will continue to do so. The chicken schwarma was amazing and the falafel was too.“

“the tacos here are pretty good but I just found a RUBBER BAND in my taco. and by found, i mean I pulled it out out of my mouth like, that doesn't feel like chicken... how does that even happen?? my dinner is ruined. :(“

“I dined with Gumby's for years until I left Iowa City and you can't beat them- we miss them a lot!“

“Great food , friendly staff , excellent service“

“Thank you so much for being open on Thanksgiving and taking online orders! Iowa City businesses were all closed but thanks to this establishment, we were able to get two hot steak dinners for an affordable price and they were good. The temp requested for the steak was med-rare and they nailed it. I do wish they had called about being out of green beans before substituting corn since one of us does not eat corn, but this is Iowa. Iowa loves corn.

The good experience with our delivery has made us interested in visiting in person. Even though the food took longer to deliver due to our original dasher canceling, it was still warm too! Everything was packaged really well, portioned well, and they even sent wet naps.
