Pros: Delicious food, family owned, good options, freshly made, Naan to die for! Don't expect a fancy restaurant, but rather a nice, local joint. While we were there, dashers kept coming and grabbing orders. Also fresh food takes a bit. Don't eexpect fast food. And it's not crazy spicy, which I appreciated! See you soon! Even my picky teen loved it! (My younger one was attempting to lick the plate )

I am so glad that he did because all of it was phenomenal. Service: The service was great. I definitely feel as if they went above what would be considered basic service and were all incredibly friendly and pleasant to interact with. They were quick and efficient and definitely knew what they were talking about. Ambiance: Being a smaller international-type grocery store, it was really pleasant and comfortable to be in. The selection can be overwhelming, but not in a bad way. There is just so much to choose from, and I feel like every time you go in, you will find something new that you didn't see before. The selection of items they have is incredible. It's not overly noisy either, and it smells amazing as soon as you walk in.

Only a couple cars in the parking lot on a Tuesday evening but the waitress behind the counter was all smiles.

I told her more of what I didn't want to make the list shorter. I got the 1/4 ,patty, all the toppings minus raw onion. Picked my sauces. There was a fry big enough to share with the hubby and he got the Fiend size burger. They have Coca-Cola in glass bottles which was fantastic. The food came out fast and tasted amazing.

The reason BurgerFiend burgers are better than your average burger joint is they fresh grind and make their own Pattie's. My second tome here I ordered the Fiend Burger with just lettuce tomato and Ketchup so I would be getting a pure taste of the burger. This burger reminds me of what my dad would have thrown on the grill - minus the lighter fluid flavors. I also ordered an order of onion rings pictured here and again not sure if they are made here or brought in frozen but they are wonderfully flavorful and the fact that they tasted handmade (if they ate frozen) speaks to quality of product. I received great service and was impressed to see the owner interacting with some of what I could tell were regular patrons. Living nearby, I might just become one myself. I really enjoyed chatting up the staff and finding out what is on deck for new flavors and food. If you like a hood local place check out BurgerFiend.

Oh My Grill on College Hill in Cedar Falls has become my new favorite spot for authentic Mediterranean food! I went for the chicken shawarma platter, and wow - the meat was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and tender, wrapped in fresh pita with all the classic toppings and that addictive garlic sauce. It hit all the right spots for bold, flavorful Middle Eastern street food. But let's talk about the fries... hands down, the best fries of my life. Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and drenched in their garlic aioli - I couldn't stop eating them. Seriously addictive! The service was fantastic too - friendly staff, and they made great recommendation. Everything felt fresh and halal, with generous portions at a fair price. If you're in Cedar Falls (especially near UNI), do yourself a favor and stop by Oh My Grill. 10/10, I'll be back soon! read more

I'm not nearly as big a fan of traditional breakfast and I hadn't had my tenderloin fix on this trip yet. Bigfoot Betty's fit the bill. French fries were delicious too and the fresh veggie add-ons. Ain't no tenderloin like an Iowa tenderloin.

Visited here for lunch, and got the special of the day- turkey BBQ sandwich and a side. The price…read morewas right, $10, but I felt like the quality of the food was so-so. The turkey was less than tender and lacked flavor, the green beans were stringy and over-cooked. I'm willing to try this place again- maybe their beef, chicken, or pork is of better quality and flavor, and maybe their other sides are better, but their turkey and green beans didn't sit with me too well. Final note- the atmosphere of the place and counter service was fine, so plusses on that. Three stars for mediocre food quality- I expect better from a barbeque joint, especially located in the Midwest.

I thought I was giving him grace because they got a new POS system, yet he didn't know some simple menu questions I asked him. And he was just super odd, not rude, not friendly, just odd. Both tables I tried to sit at were dirty. The Mac & cheese is creamy and bland. The creamy coleslaw was better than decent. I'd take a quart of that! Their BBQ sauces are tasty, there's just not a huge difference between the three. It's subtle. The tenderloin IS very good. It could stand for some finishing salt, but excellent without. I bet their other meats are excellent, there were just some things that were really off putting with the service.
