Great experience and good food. I liked that everything was handmade. We split the tenderloin which…read morewas very good and as big as a pizza pan. The pickled pasta was odd. Not my favorite but I don't love pasta salads. Onion rings were great and were almost burnt but still great. Spinach dip was homemade and we enjoyed it. Not the best spinach dip I have ever had but good. Ranch was good too. Service was good. Ambiance is a nice clean small town bar.

Fun place for apple-picking and buying delicious apple products (recommend the sparkling apple…read morecider and apple donuts). The orchard is huge, with plenty of room to roam and apple tree varieties to choose from, mostly honey crisp, but also crimson crisp, Jonagold, fuji, and gala. Admission is $5 per person and we paid $22 for a two-person you-pick peck. Which was more than enough for us! Cons: Parking was an issue (it was a weekend) with unclear traffic flow through the lot...and it became progressively more busy later in the day.

This was a most lovely orchard experience from start to finish. I began with a visit inside the…read morefarm market, which had fresh apples; frozen applesauce and pies; chilled apple cider + cans of their alcoholic ciders; and merchandise + gifts. Make your way to the register, and you can purchase donuts and turnovers as well as your u-pick bags. I made my apple turnover ala mode, which was worthwhile, and savored it outside overlooking the orchard. So picturesque! After my apple treat, I was ready to pick and made my way to the orchard. Expect some hill climbing and pretty scenery between the apple trees and flower fields. I imagine the trek could be more challenging for families with young ones. Wilson's boasts 100 varieties of apples, one of the reasons I visited the orchard in the first place. At the end of September, I filled my bags with two varieties I had never heard of, which was fun. The rows were well-marked with the apples that were ready for picking as well as the name of the variety. More importantly, the apples were delicious. Overall, I'm very happy I spent a morning here, and I imagine just about anyone else will feel similarly.

The best marine life store in the Corridor..period…read more The owner, Hung, has been doing this for 30+ years, so he knows his stuff....used to be located on the Coralville strip many moons ago. Large selection of fish, (he gets a new shipment every Wednesday right now), and fair, fair prices. Hung is the type of guy you buy a dozen blue foot hermit crabs, he's going to throw in a couple just cuz... Great quality specimens too, I have never had anything die I bought from here. Have an extensive selection of corals....the 400+ gallon stingray tank right when you walk in is awesome.....there is also a large circular "pond" in the store with freshwater Koi. They don't open till 2, We'd thru Sunday usually, but they are closed on Sundays for the month of August.

I had a bad experience before being able to even get into the store. Showed up at 4:52 when Google…read moresaid they close at 6:00, owner was pulling out of parking lot, seemed really annoyed that we were there, asked us to leave. I checked again, and not only did google for sure say they close at 6:00, but the facebook page says they close at 7:00. Really annoying experience, will be sticking to the fish barn in west branch

Iowa Chop House (Iowa City) delivers a warm, approachable steakhouse experience that feels right at…read morehome in the heart of Iowa. It wasn't busy the night I visited bc Taste of Iowa City was going on, which seems like a welcome back event for the UI college students. The rustic atmosphere stands out immediately--barn wood accents, cozy lighting, and a farm-to-table vibe that nods to Iowa's agricultural roots without feeling overly formal. Staff are consistently friendly and attentive, making the evening relaxed and welcoming from the moment you sit down. The filet steak is a highlight: tender, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor, showcasing the quality of their Iowa-sourced cuts. I paired it with garlic whipped potatoes... pretty darn good. The diverse drink menu rounds things out nicely, with a solid selection of local craft beers, wines, and other options that complement the hearty fare. Overall, it's a reliable, comforting spot for a solid steak dinner in a down-to-earth setting. Highly recommended if you're craving classic chops done right.

The place has a very traditional steak house vibe, which is exactly what one expects at a great steak house.
