“I saw a post in the Waterloo Foodies group about crab rangoon nachos and dill pickle soup. ummm count me in!?! i could not stop thinking about it. the images and thought literally made my mouth water. told my husband on our next date night I want to go there for those items. he thought maybe they would only be seasonal so he called to place a take out order. food was ready in less than 15 minutes. super friendly guy when it came to pick up. he said they are working on getting these items added to the website and door dash menus. even packaged the nacho toppings separately so they wouldn't get soggy (super appreciative) it was phenomenal - and I don't use that word often. I already can't wait for date night so we can order again 👏🏽😍 11/10 no disappointments.“

“On 6/5/26 ,Outstanding customer service! We arrived about 10 minutes before closing, and the staff(2 ladies) greeted us with a smile and happily took our order. They were friendly, patient, and made us feel welcome. It’s refreshing to see employees who still provide excellent service right up until closing time. Thank you, Hardee’s team!“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE Cup! I work from home several days a week and frequently find myself downtown CF enjoying a cup of tea and sweet treat at my favorite coffee shop. It's a great atmosphere and the baristas are very inviting and helpful. If you haven't been- go now! ☕️🫖🥐🥰“

“always have a great dinner at Whiskey roads I love the bourbon selection I'm a big bourbon drinker the only little pet peeve I had was the White Russian was in too big a glass too much ice too much milk does not allow the drink to stay consistent everything else as usual was just perfect this is a place where I know I can take out of town guests and I'll always be satisfied“

“Fabulous food, great customer service, very authentic and clean eating. Thank You!“

“the best donuts around. tried several and they're all amazing!“

“Wonderful and reasonably priced Indian cuisine located in the College Square mall's food court. We arrived late in the day and felt a bit bad about inconveniencing the staff, but the person taking our order was so friendly and graceful regarding the timing.

Food options are varied, and you'll find exactly what you'll expect to find on a menu of classic international Indian cuisine. And with it comes a very worthy vegetarian menu.

The dishes were flavorful, well-spiced, and we had the ability to customize the amount of spice, so it remains accessible to a broad variety of palettes.

This is the best Indian food I've been able to taste in the Cedarloo area to date.“

“Every time I’m asked what my favorite pizza place is, I say Urban Pie. While the only protein option is plant-based chicken, their vegan pizza menu is EXTENSIVE. My favorite is the Not So Crabby Rangoon with plant-based chicken, but everything I’ve tried has been absolutely heavenly. Perfectly baked crust, unique options you can’t get anywhere else - you can’t go wrong.“

“You would think picking up cupcakes on a Monday morning couldn’t be sweeter but then you run into Jane and she has a way of making it that much more special. The cupcakes speak for themselves but the service will bring me back to this location over and over again!“

“Rey friendly staff and very helpful since it was my first time. The food was wonderful!“

“Ginger Thai is my favorite restaurant!! Every dish prepared is so fresh and delicious! And the owners and people who work here are so nice and friendly!!“

“The best experience! Accommodated our request for a private dining area for the four of us after a small private wedding. It was set up so beautifully! I wish I would have asked the name of our server, she was amazing and deserved the cash tip we left. The service is the best by far in the area, and the food was delicious from our appetizers (shared plates) to our entrees. My now husband said his steak tonight was better than what we had at Hells Kitchen in Miami. Thank you again Montage, this topped off making our wedding day and dinner perfect!“

“the Service is Back to fantastic and better yet the food is back to inspirational! In my opinion they had a few bad employess for a few months or more but they seem to have gotten rid of the bad employess and replace them with fantastic employees and now that food is so so so good again! maybe even better then before!“

“My Husband picked Hu-Hot tonight. He’s never ate here, the food was good, and he liked the experience. But, what really stood out to us was the service! We for sure had one of the best servers in the Cedar Valley! Very personable, attentive, funny, and efficient. It was nice being thanked when you leave a tip, that typically NEVER happens anymore. We also tipped the grill guys, but they didn’t notice. Thank you, Benjamin for the great experience eating at Hu-Hot tonight!“

“chicken pakora was a lightly breaded appetizer,very tasty! The Gyro Rice platter was a nice portion of lamb,onions,sliced green peppers,and jasmine rice and it was also very good. The ChickenKarahi was flavor explosion that totally blew me away,mixed with light jasmine rice has me so happy that we chose Mirch Masala tonight...I wish we would have tried sooner 9/10“
