Note: For anything in the 'Burger' section of the menu, you can sub the beef for chicken or black bean burger. The beef patties were HUGE - probably 1/2 pound . And no skimping on the toppings here so go there really hungry or split with a friend. They were messy, drippy, and once you pick the sucker up, you hang on for dear life so the bun or toppings don't slide off. To me, this is the way a truly great burger needs to be! So, prepare yourself - lots of napkins are your friends... Burgers come w/hand cut fries that are beautifully browned. Unfortunately, I opted for carryout so I knew the fries would not be very crispy due to steaming a bit during transit. I'd recommend eating fries there on-site as they will be MUCH better. So why 4 stars vs. 5?? The burger was begging for a better sear and was barely browned.

Their menu has a variety of burgers which can all be subbed out for grilled chicken or a veggie patty. Their fries are some of my favorite I've had, and I love to have a good dipping sauce with my fries so I usually ask for the garlic aioli. They also have shorts sauce on the table which is mildly spicy with good flavor. The restaurant is small and dark, so if you come during busy hours you may have to wait a bit for your table.

I figured it would be like a McDonald's hamburger (but for a cheese steak) but this was honestly one of the most disgusting things I've ever eaten. I tasted the meat without any sauce, cause there were some on the side - and it's almost like dog food with texture.... aside from being hot it had nothing going for it. The bread was pretty garbage and the whiz sauce was something you'd find at Dollar tree. I'm not a super picky person, but I did not finish

The Crab House is located near the hotel we are staying at which was convenient. I ordered the garlic honey wing basket which came with Cajun fries. Unfortunately I forgot to take a pic of my food and everyone else's that was dining with me. My uncle ordered the fried Oyster basket and he said it was good, but he thinks they were not made at the restaurant. He thinks the restaurant could've gotten the fried oysters from a restaurant depot where you can purchase restaurant food in bulk. I will say the Cajun fries were crispy and delicious. The interior of Crab House is clean and decorated very nice. There's plenty of seating. When we arrived there were about 3 other tables with customers. By the time we left the place was steadily getting more customers.

The pulled pork sandwich I had was possibly the best ever, and their root beer flavored BBQ sauce is "to die for"! The catered food for our family reunion was just as good, if not better. The brisket and chicken were amazing. Also, I'm not a big corn bread guy but I knew my family would want corn bread so we had that included. Let's just say, if all corn bread tasted as good as Pop's, I might eat more corn bread. If you're in the Iowa City area, do yourself a favor and stop at Pop's!

I was originally going to give less than 4 stars but I think the manager handled it appropriately…read moreso kudos to him! My waiter Austin was very professional and was on top of our drinks and so on. The restaurant was clean and looks like any other Longhorn! But..... My filet mignon was WAY under cooked. I asked for medium and I got rare. I don't mind a medium rare but that's it for me. Again the waiter and manager both took care of it! Would I go back though? Probably not. At least not for a long time. When you go to a steakhouse you expect that your steak is going to be cooked to how you requested it. The baked potato was fantastic!!!!

I have supported this restaurant without hesitation, which is why I am extraordinarily disappointed that, today, I was actually charged extra for roughly a tablespoon of shredded cheese beyond the "normal" portion. No, not the melted cheese; the shredded cheddar jack. I don't mind paying extra for things; I get paying extra for fajita vegetables and melted cheese. That has to be prepared and maintained. But paying over a dollar extra for a tablespoon of extra shredded cheddar jack is RIDICULOUS. I'm a tad salty after my visit today. I've NEVER been charged extra for shredded cheese before; that the person serving me explained it to me like it was my first time as a customer was equally inexplicable. All things change, I suppose, but I won't be back.
