4:19 am - May 24, 2008

Absolutely the best coffee shop around. The greatest cold press coffee. Every week there is a new and good latte concoction to try....

Csburdick wrote a review for Irish Democrat Pub & Grille

11:30 am - May 8, 2008

I love this place. You can come here for dinner and have great food, then stay here at night for the bar, play some pool, and have a good time. Mostly good staff working there, good drinks.

Csburdick wrote a review for Moose Mcduffy's

11:25 am - May 8, 2008

Boring, jock/frat-boy atmosphere. Ridiculously busy on the weekends to the point where you can't move around.

I went there on a week day, tried to get a beer at the bar, and the bartender...

Zay wrote a review for BBQ This!

9:43 am - May 2, 2008

Not the best BBQ I've had, not even the best BBQ in town - but still theres something to be said about being able to walk up and get decent BBQ damn quick and in a hurry....

Bombo wrote a review for Mahoney's Irish Pub

10:17 am - Apr 7, 2008

Mahoney's is the "bomb" just like my name. Jill, Lummy, Jen, Allison, and Katie are the best on the planet. Dennis and Kerry Mahoney ain't too bad either. And the High Life is always ice cold. M...

ikarimaru wrote a review for Third Base Downtown

4:28 pm - Mar 17, 2008

Visited 3 months back. The bartenders ignored myself and my friend for a full 5 minutes even though the bar was pretty much empty, gave us flak for not giving a tip to someone who just grabbed a bottl...

Steverib wrote a review for Zoey's Pizzeria

10:59 am - Mar 8, 2008

OK, if you want the hands down best pizza anywhere in eastern iowa THIS is it! Very limited seating, they do a huge carry out business, nice selection of beers, atmosphere is nice and cozy. But pizz...

Steverib wrote a review for Zio Johno's Spaghetti House

10:52 am - Mar 8, 2008

Not the best italian cousine I've had (try Vinos for that), but definitely the best value. The standard italian fare is very good, salads OK, Marion location has a great atmosphere. Very inexpensive...

Steverib wrote a review for Vino's Ristorante

10:49 am - Mar 8, 2008

This is the only 5 star I've given out so far. We have eaten here now maybe 6 times and everything is fantastic. The small venue, atmosphere, and staff make for the finest dining. How's the food yo...

Steverib wrote a review for Sushi House

10:44 am - Mar 8, 2008

I've been here many times for lunches and dinners. The ONLY place in CR that I will go for sushi. I think the head sushi chef used to work at Sushi Po Po in Iowa City before this restaurant opened. ...

Steverib wrote a review for Sub City

10:40 am - Mar 8, 2008

Definitely the best subs in town. The chains can't compare to the size and prices of the subs you get here. Limited seating and very plain decor (although they have spruced up lately). Try the "sub...

Steverib wrote a review for Red Robin

10:33 am - Mar 8, 2008

Very overrated, burgers are OK but I'll take a Hardees Angus burger over these any day of the week and get it for about 1/3rd the price. If you like eating "gourmet" burgers for the price of lobster,...

Steverib wrote a review for Lighthouse Inn

10:30 am - Mar 8, 2008

Has that old supper club atmosphere. Very friendly, cozy, and has that warm feeling. Food is OK, never been bad, but never quite outstanding either. Nice variety....

Steverib wrote a review for Hacienda Las Glorias

10:27 am - Mar 8, 2008

Our favorite mexican restaurant. Doesn't look fancy inside or out but we love the food! Of the 3 Hacienda's this one just seems to be the most authentic, maybe because it isn't fancy....

Steverib wrote a review for Granite City Food & Brewery

10:25 am - Mar 8, 2008

One of my favorite dinner spots. Microbrews, outstanding fare. Not cheap but you get your moneys' worth....

Steverib wrote a review for Flying Wienie

10:24 am - Mar 8, 2008

Maybe the previous reviewer came at the end of the lunch rush, it does tend to get a bit messy by then but that is because this is a #1 blue collar lunch spot. Hotdogs, burgers, gyros, hot beef, ribs...

Steverib wrote a review for Diner on First

10:20 am - Mar 8, 2008

One of those old time hole in the wall spots that has just plain good food. Don't expect anything fancy but their breakfasts are great, lunches are as home made as it gets, and prices are reasonable....

Steverib wrote a review for The Blue Strawberry Coffee Company

10:18 am - Mar 8, 2008

Maybe it was because we were there on a Sunday afternoon (at least they were open), but between 5 of us no one was impressed with the food we got. Pastries were stale, sandwich and salad were average...

Steverib wrote a review for The Blue Strawberry Coffee Company

10:15 am - Mar 8, 2008

Not bad, but surely doesn't deserve 5 stars. Food is good but a little pricy. Nice atmosphere....

Steverib wrote a review for The Coffee Emporium

10:11 am - Mar 8, 2008

The first, and if coffee is the reason you go to a coffee house, the best coffee house downtown. Friendly staff, daily specialty drinks, 2 for 1 lattes from 2 to 3PM. Food menu is small but reasonab...

Richard wrote a review for Grafton Street Pub

9:31 am - Mar 7, 2008

Incredible Food! Great Service! and Smoke Free! If you smoke there are other alternatives. If you don't want to smell like smoke this is our ONLY alternative. Keep up the good work Matt!

Brandy wrote a review for C. R. Chop House

10:25 pm - Mar 3, 2008

I am a chef of over 10 years, and I actually used to work at Chophouse many moons ago, and I will say this, of all the rest. I've worked in chophouse had one of the cleanest kitchens and unrelenting w...

Zay wrote a review for Piano Lounge

5:26 pm - Feb 24, 2008

i think an update needs to be given to my last review. if you're sophisticated, and would like a leisure experience that includes live music, and top shelf drinks served by professional bartenders and...

Frankie wrote a review for Element

9:09 am - Feb 21, 2008

The place is up for sale. I wouldn't want to own a failing, pathetic "dance club" either. $495,000 and "one of the excellent dance clubs in Cedar Rapids" is yours, plus the adjoining Blarney Stone....

Good food, good service, and an awesome atmosphere!...
