    Reuben and Fries
    Chu H.

    Had a very disappointing experience with Reunion. $15-16 sandwiches (prices on their website are not completely up to date). The reuben was dry and somehow oily at the same time. The fries were dry. The caprese sandwich was the best item but the bread was soggy to the point of falling apart. They now charge an extra $1 PER ITEM for takeout. AND they forgot the fries to one of the sandwiches. They offered ketchup, which I agreed to, but didn't actually include any. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this place.

    It was a rainy day so I took shelter in Reunion. As I sauntered my way to a table, I was very thankful to dry off and feel secure. Very safe restaurant. Absolutely stunning decor. Really took my breath away. The interior has many flavorful paintings and televisions. Could be a great spot to catch the big game! Very clean too. A very cool spot. As it says in the name, this is a brewery, but there are many options. There's a lot to choose from and plenty for next time. There's also a ton of cuisine options, ranging from burgers to tacos to pizza. The service is super fast and friendly. Trust me, you won't be waiting long for food or drinks. I ended up getting egg. Egg was good.

    Although ReUnion isn't quite four stars at the moment on Yelp, trust the most recent Yelpers who have consistently given ReUnion five stars. They are doing good things over here. I underestimated Reunion Brewery as "another place with pub food in Iowa City." It didn't even make my list of places to try eating at until some family friends asked to meet us there for dinner. OH MY YUM. Our server, Caiden (I think), did a stellar job caring for our party of seven. He skillfully knew when to refill drinks and when to ask for our food orders without interrupting our conversation. He remembered to upsell with desserts, which was a major plus for those of us who choose to eat the desserts. Nothing on the menu popped out at us but everyone was part of the clean plate club-- a phenomenal sign of delicious food. The falafel tacos, Caprese on focaccia, chicken BLT on focaccia, reunion chopped Cobb salad, and the brew pub pretzel were all among dishes we ordered and would endorse. Each sandwich comes with fries (or you can upgrade for cheese curds and some other sides). I can comfortably endorse the massive cheese curds too. Another quick note that the focaccia comes from Bread Garden Market-- you know it's fresh and delicious! DO NOT SKIP DESSERT. We had a turtle cheese, peanut butter cheesecake, and some sort of oatmeal pie with mouth-watering cinnamon ice cream. Geez, all of the treats were worth ordering again. I will happily add this to my list of places I'd recommend our friends to take their families for food. There's even a little gum ball game that I watched two children adore. At Reunion, there is something for everyone!

    Thank you for having a large selection of gluten-free options...including desserts!! My gluten-free pizza crust was absolutely delicious!!

    I had the Shrimp Fra Diavold and my wife had the Salmon BLT. Both were excellent! We have been here many times and these two dishes are amount our favorites. My shrimp Fra Diavold was not as spicy this time and I much prefer this less spicy version.

    Was on a trip to the area and we went to three breweries that weekend and this was the best of the 3. I only review food keep in mind. The food was on point!! I was part of a group of 5 and we all left happy!! The waitress was friendly and knowledgeable!! The curds and peppers were good, but had some heat!! My friend said the chicken marsala's was the best she had ever had!!

    I asked three people where we should eat when visiting the University of Iowa. They had a lot of…read moreopinions. Every one of them said Wig & Pen. And so we did. My wife isn't a big pizza fan, so anytime we have an opportunity to pick pizza as a dine-in dinner, and blame it on others, I'm going to take that opportunity. And she loved it too. First for the appetizer, we chose the onion rings. They were really onion straws (remember the old Damon's BBQ Onion Loaf? They're like that!). They were great. A bit messy, but great. For pizza, we went with the thin crust Union Jack, which is basically deluxe: Italian sausage, pepperoni, onions, mushrooms, red bell pepper. I loved the way they cut the peppers super thin, and the pizza was fantastic. I'd love to try the other crust/styles as well someday, but the table voted and that's what we landed on. Six stars for the pizza. The restaurant is bigger than it looks, and was very crowded on an early Saturday evening. It is obviously popular, as the inside dining was full and the outdoor patio was nearly as popular. Service was very friendly, and helped us navigate the crust decision. The only downside - and I didn't test them on it - is the 'only one refill' rule on their fountain drinks. I hate this rule almost as much as Mexican restaurants charging for the second basket of chips and salsa. It just makes no sense to me. But I don't think I even finished the first one, so I have no idea if they would have actually charged me if I had !GASP! asked for a third drink. This is a top ranking for me - loved it, will return next time I'm in town. If you're looking for a great pizza place with other dishes on the menu, Wig & Pen is a great choice!

    Whenever I come to Iowa city I must have their Chicago Style pizza. The amount of cheese inside the…read moreperfectly crunchy yet chewy crust is epic. I love their Italian sausage and huge side salad the best blue cheese dressing around. I liked being able to order a stout on tap so I could get that nice inch of creamy head. The kind that gives me a mustache - it's so good. Our waitress was attentive and sweet. And we got to watch our team (Norway) unjustly lose on one of their big screen TVs. The spacious restaurant with an old school charm has plenty of rooms for the crowds that seek out their delicious pizza. Another table next to us ordered the thin crust, so I'm guessing that's as good as the huge pie we got. But if you like Chicago style, you must try the Wig and Pen-this is their original location I went to in the 90s, and I'm happy to say it's just as good as I remembered-every year when I return to visit family. It's either here or Sam's Pizza for the colossal cheese filled loveliness.

    THICK, perfectly medium pink (you specify your desired doneness), juicy burgers were the craving of…read morethe day. And such inventive topping combos to choose from! 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.
