    New updated bar.

    I have been to this place a few times. Mostly for adult beverages but occasionally for food. Friendly service and even most of the customers are friendly to talk to. This place has some large windows to let you see the fire station across the street, an interesting view. It is well lit and clean. I did not have breakfast but some friends said it was very good. We showed up one evening for the pot roast special and the pork chops. My pot roast was tasty, the mash potatoes were good, if they were from a can or powdered I could not tell. The broccoli was fresh but nothing special. The pork chops were moist and cooked to perfection. The accompanying asparagus had a few hard pieces and was on the cold side but edible. We enjoyed the food and will most likely be back as the meal atmosphere were on the whole pleasant.

    It was ok a nice place decorated in log cabin. Style, lots of seating with a view of the semi open kitchen,and a patio extension. The server was friendly and attentive but not overly cheery. The food wad ok. I had a mushroom swiss burger. It came with lettuce,onion, tomato and pickles. Why? Does ananyone put that on a mushroom seiss burger. Anyway I felt the burger needed some seasoning but the waffle fries were good. Like I said it was ok. Very middle of road but good.

    Pancakes with strawberries.

    Food was just ok, ordered the breakfast chimi, it was ok, didn't like the gravy over the top of the burrito felt like it didn't complement the chorizo/egg inside. The coffee was fresh, the pancakes were the best!!!! The service was wonderful, really kind server was patient with my kids. Ambiance was relaxed, pub/bar setting.

    Very unique "shipwreck" breakfast. Fabulous!

    Great food, cool ambiance, this is a real winner...especially for fans of all-day-breakfast!

    Popped into Midtown Station late morning and got a Crab and Downsouth Benny⁣. My friend got the Midtown burrito and Midtown hashbrowns⁣. Both my Bennies were delicious and I LOVE that I got to pick two. Fairly small place but we were lucky to get seats right away! Good service, clean, and cute! Would go back for the Hollandaise and to try the other Bennys... or basically anything else :)

    Pancakes - huge and delicious!

    You really can't go wrong with Midtown Station. I've come here a few times for breakfast and never been disappointed. The service is great, food is excellent, and there are several seating options - inside, on an enclosed patio, and outside. Parking can be difficult depending on what time of day it is and what is going on downtown, however I've always been able to park close. I came on Sunday for the Bloody Mary bar - only $8 for Tito's. They have a ton of meats, cheeses, and veggies to add. I got the shipwreck with broccoli, sausage, and cheddar jack cheese. It comes on hash browns and two eggs your way. I highly recommend this. It was a good sized portion, but not so much that you can't finish it. Their pancakes are amazing. They are plate sized and thick. The taste is great. Be advised the menu prices have changed from what's on the website. Everything is $2 or so more. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, dinner, or grabbing a drink this place checks all the boxes.

    They had my HEART at "serving breakfast all day"!!! And THEN, it was top notch too! And cocktails! The PERFECT trifecta there... First off, that cocktail (5 Alarm Lemonade) has some KICK to it. More than I expected, but OH so tasty. Then the Downsouth Benny was GREAT! The service was VERY good. We were a large group, split up between 2 tables, and the waitress did an awesome job. Would LOVE to come back here if we're ever in the area!

    Solid breakfast burritos and generous portions for great prices. The ambiance is nice and inviting, great spot to catch up with friends. Service is excellent

    breakfast burrito with fries

    GO HERE GO HERE GO HERE!! You won't be disappointed! The staff is so friendly and goes above and beyond! Menu has so many great options. I went with the breakfast burrito and it was one of the BEST I've had in a long time! Side of fresh fruit has a nice variety of strawberries, pineapple, blueberries, etc. My sister ordered a hamburger without a bun and a few condiments (celiac - gluten intolerance) and they adjusted the price of the burger since she didn't get all items. I will say, I've never seen that before. So nice of them to do that! I recommend this place to anyone and everyone in the Cedar Rapids area!

    I went to Midtown Station for the first time and had a pretty decent experience. I was surprised when I walked in, to see that they had beers on tap as well and not even that, they were some decent craft beers that they had on tap and not just domestics. It was not very busy when I arrived. I liked all of their Saint Patrick's Day decor that they had all up around their restaurant. I also liked their variety of seating options. I ordered Coffee, Orange Juice, and water for my drinks, which all tasted good. I ordered their Midtown Breakfast Burrito with some substitutions along with toast on the side. The food was a little on the greasy side, and tasted average because of the greasiness. My waitress was super, super kind and friendly, which made my day.

They certainly spend a lot of money and I hope it's busy every single day. I know if their was an establishment like this in California it would be super pricy to play and eat. The service was awesome and the gal took great care of us and came back to check on us often. The food was okay. They made really good margaritas and the spicy bloody was the best I have had. My cobb salad would have been amazing if they had better or homemade dressing. It was very thick and had no flavor. We had to taste the fried cheese and it was really good, but very salty. I would have to eat one and then wait 15 minutes to eat another one. It was delicious though. My husband had the meat sundae I think and he liked the dish and the horseradish sauce was good and not too over powering. I love that they offer airline chicken which I am assuming it is "air chilled" which has not been dipped into chlorine or antibiotics!? Overall I would come back and try other foods and drinks in the future!!

They have very good comfort food and a nice selection of adult beverages. I had the bacon mac which I enjoyed. The place was clean and our server was friendly. I love that they have indoor activities like bowling and pickleball with another upstairs bar with indoor and outdoor seating with more activities like corn hole. I think others are overly harsh on their critiques of the establishment. It is not meant for fine dining; it's a place to have fun for a few hours. As a person who grew up in Northern WI in the 80s, I would have loved to have a place like this!

First impressions were a bit confusing--the entrance makes you feel like you're walking into an office building. There's a door to the right with signage for what seems to be a sister bar that's only open on limited nights, but the actual restaurant is straight back. Once inside, the space is large and open, with plenty of room between tables and a sizable bar area. I sat at the bar and learned about their Whiskey Wednesday specials, which included several types of Old Fashioneds and whiskey flights. While it sounded intriguing, I opted not to partake. They also offer daily drink special themes. The menu is eclectic, with a mix of Cajun, Italian, and American fare. I went with the Cacio e Pepe with Elephant Ear (Orcchiette) pasta, and added shrimp along with a half wedge salad as a premium side. The pasta itself was delicious--perfectly cooked with a rich, peppery flavor. However, I wish the server had mentioned that the shrimp was Cajun-seasoned. While great on its own, it slightly overpowered the pasta. The wedge salad was a bit of a letdown--the lettuce was watery, which diluted the overall flavor. The dish also came with garlic bread, which was yummy. Service was outstanding--attentive, friendly, and efficient. Unfortunately, it was hard to get a real read on the restaurant's vibe because it was pretty empty on a Wednesday night.
