Tic Toc

This place is one of those holes in the wall. It doesn't look very appealing  but the food is outstanding. Everything I've ever tried here has been amazing. You really cannot go wrong with whatever you order. The cheese sticks and fried pickles are a must. If you come Friday or Saturday night the ribs are a must. You will love whatever sandwich you choose. I would definitely recommend this place for breakfast, you won't be disappointed.


Metro Buffet


I'm not much of a buffet person but I've eaten here a couple times. They offer a mixture of American and Japanese food. For me, my dining experience has either been hit or miss.. The first couple of times I ate here the food was outstanding and definitely worth it but the last time I came the food looked unappetizing and everything basically tasted the same. I'm sure I will give this place another chance, however, I'm not as inclined to come back after my last experience.

Mondo's

Wonderful restaurant. I came here for a business meeting yesterday and had a wonderful dining experience. From the beginning to the end the service was outstanding. Not to mention the food here is divine. I ordered the beef stroganoff and was very pleased. The dish was very tasteful and fresh. I will definitely be bringing my wife to eat here.

Givanni's

Heard great things about this place so my wife and I came here for dinner the other night and we were not disappointed. I really liked the atmosphere, the service was great and the food was amazing. If you're in downtown Iowa City this place is a definite must.

ATLAS WORLD GRILL

This place was okay, I wasn't too crazy about anything I tried and I think it's a bit overpriced for the food you get.

THE MILL RESTAURANT

Came here when I was in Iowa City because of the good ratings on yelp, however, it's a dive bar and not much more. The food is mediocre, like any bar food. However, I heard they have great live music, which I would really like to come back to check out.

The Blue Strawberry Coffee Company

I stop in here quite a bit for coffee or to grab a bite to eat. The coffee is great and they also offer really good smoothies. They offer soups, salads, sandwiches, pastries and desserts. Everything I've tried thus far has been very good. It's a quaint little place and I will continue to come here.

TEXAS ROADHOUSE


This place is okay, nothing to write home about. It always seems to be really busy and there is always a long wait. The service has never been great, we always seem to get a rude server and impatient server. The food is mediocre, if I come here I either get a steak or ribs or a combo. It's okay, nothing great.

SUSHI HOUSE

I've been here quite a few times. The service is always friendly and the sushi is always consistent and good. It's worth a try.

EL SUPER BURRITO

This place is one of those holes in the wall. The service is friendly and the food is authentic and delicious.  

Konomi

My wife's family was in town last week so we took them here for teppan and sushi. Everyone loved it and raved about it the whole night. We were seated right away at one of the Teppan tables. Our service was impeccable and the cook at our table was fantastic, he was very entertaining and showed us a great time. For sushi we ordered the Captain Crunch, Half Baked, Fire Cracker, Beef and Konomi Rolls. They were all fantastic, I don't think I can choose just one. For teppan, I ordered the Chef's Choice which is Rib-eye and shrimp or scallop. The rib-eye was cooked to perfection and the scallops were great. We will definitely be coming back again.

BROWN DEER GOLF COURSE

I think this is a really nice course, I normally golf in Cedar Rapids but occasionally I will come to Iowa City to golf here. The greens are nice and there is a nice challenge to the course. 

Vesta..Good Dining Experience

My wife has always wanted to try Vesta so we came here a couple days ago for dinner. I really liked the atmosphere and how the restaurant was set up. The hostess was great, she was very friendly and outgoing and was able to answer any questions we had. Our server was a little busy and seemed somewhat flustered but was knowledgeable about the food and wine. The food was great and so was the wine, we will definitely be coming back again.
