We wanted a place outside of Iowa City for a quick drink and bites. Randomly found this pace, we walked in and were instantly welcomed like we had been there a million times. We were BLOWN AWAY by the hospitality by this family owned business. The Hog Wings came highly recommended and let me tell you, I will be dreaming about them tonight in my sleep! hOLy. CoW.. never had anything like them ANYWHERE in the country. We will ABSOLUTELY be back here again.

This gem is in the basement of an old hotel and is eclectic with the perfect atmosphere - stone walls and fire place make it perfect. Air fried menu selections that are delicious and nachos that are to die for! Good selection of beer on tap with some local crafts - great place to meet friends, not too loud - just right!

Conveniently located in downtown West Branch. This restaurant is literally ‘down under’ as in the basement of the building. We probably wouldn’t have found it without the useful sidewalk sign.Adorable space. We loved the old brick/foundation walls.Service was fabulous!Food was ok… typical bar food. The Philly has good seasoning, the Ultimate panini had none.

We found this restaurant doing a Google search for restaurants nearby where we were while traveling and this one had a great rating and the menu listed sounded great. It took a minute to find the entrance. Inside, its a cozy environment. The customer base that day were very vocal football fans and the IA vs IA State game was playing on the TV. It was loud. The waitress was very friendly and responsive. Unfortunately because it was so loud in there, she did not hear our order correctly and we were served sandwiches that we didn't order, but sounded close. This came after a long wait because as the waitress told us, the kitchen burned our sandwiches and she asked they be remade. We ate what we received but the fries were cold and the bun on my sandwich was too hard/over toasted, that i could not bite into it. The waitress did comp our sodas and presented us with a free appetizer coupon. Since we were traveling, we likely will not be back in that area. If we were local, we would probably go back because the BBQ cheddar burgers really sound good. But I would make sure to point to the menu when ordering.

We were the only 1s in there, for the first 5 minutes, than 12 people came in and it went down hill from there. Granted the menu said air fried, but 1/3 of the portions were so burnt they smelled burned. For the price of what we ordered was $75.00 for 3 adults and 2 kids, 8 & 18 mo. We didn't get our monies worth. You can get a better deal elsewhere, in my opinion.

. The place is clean interesting with exposed stone walls. The server was polite and made some suggestions. We ordered a rib basket, which was good with two sauces, traditional and maple, both excellent. I ordered the Bear Burger special (local high school mascot). The Burger was good, grilled to medium, the was bun partially frozen. The fries were VERY salty. The ketchup had an off taste.

Great little place. Food was great and the service was good too.
Great food and hospitality like always!!
Quaint by day, lively by night. Great food, nice staff.
Waitress is a piece of work. Made fun of my accent. Doesn’t feel welcomed at all.
Awesome atmosphere, great service, delicious food and cold drinks! Love the cozy fire and rustic vibes.
