    I ordered the gumbo,does not look like gumbo. Lots of chicken, very little or the ingredients not present to taste. Not worth the value asked and simply not good at all and especially for $19. Two pieces of sausage and says it has crab in it. Can not taste the crab. Not worth the money!!!

    First impression wasn't great as the floor seemed super sticky walking in... turned out it may have just been the finish on the flooring. We were sat in the back area at a half bench half chair table which was super tight. I may be a little flabby but I should be able to slide in easily like most places and it was snug. Table did not adjust out because I assume if we did that it would block the door to the outside. Server arrived quickly and promptly took our drink & food order. I got the slider burger which was tasty. Only thing I would recommend is if you are a burger joint ask how the person wants the burger cooked... mine was pretty red & I'm a barely pink girl. My hubby got the shrimp po boy which he enjoyed but noted the shrimp was supposed to be blackened & was not. He enjoyed it anyway. The home fries were amazing... probably my favorite part. We would return and give it another whirl.

    If you find yourself in NE Cedar Rapids or Marion and needing a cheer bar and burgers Look no further than Shorts. Shorts is one of our favorite places in town now. Brennan the bartender knows how to make a great drink. He remembers you if you sit in his space. He is amazing at his job. He makes me a Tequila sour instead of a Whiskey sour and its out of this world. The fries are sliced in house and made which why they taste so good. They recently added fried Dill pickles that are also homemade. Fun fact their beef is also from a small farm in Columbus Junction, Iowa! Your Homemade goodness is brought to you at a bargain here. The prices are fair and you are leaving with a full belly. They have done community nights with Iowa giving crew and gave a portion to them. Charity and burgers bring it on.

    Great place to eat. We loved the decor and the waitress was very nice. Food was great. And best part is we only live four blocks away so we will be coming back more often to try all the other burgers

    Sat at the bar on a busy Friday night. I ordered the Burnout burger and it was delicious. Service was fast and good sitting at the bar.

    I visited The District CR in downtown Cedar Rapids during a recent business trip and had an overall…read moreenjoyable experience. 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.

There are lots of cool automotive touches, vintage signs, and garage-style charm that give it a laid-back, quirky personality. It is the kind of place where you notice something new every time you look around. We were seated quickly and greeted by our server. We ordered waters and a couple of pops. It is a Pepsi establishment, so I went with a Diet Mountain Dew. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with extra crispy tots and a side of honey mustard. The sandwich was just the right size for lunch, and the tots were hot, crispy, and plentiful. The honey mustard was way better than expected--sweet, tangy, and perfect for dipping. My friend was excited to see an Impossible Burger on the menu. As a vegetarian, it is rare for her to have a solid lunch option. Daisy's even had vegan fare available, which was a nice surprise. I did not remember to photograph my lunch, but I have absolutely no regrets about eating it. If you are in the Cedar Rapids area, give Daisy's a try. Great atmosphere, great service, and some seriously great tots.

    American We had just…read morerolled in to Marion to be closer to a destination in Cedar Rapids and were looking for a quick place to grab a bite and something to wash it down. A quick Yelp search came up with Daisy's right down the street, so we headed over. Daisy's is a cool little sports bar sitting in Marion in what appears to be a brand-new plaza. When you enter the place, it does indeed, look like a garage. Large bar to the right, tables (inside and out) to the left and straight back. Grabbed a high top and the waitress was super friendly and was over to say hi as soon as we sat. Menu is decent sized and offers primarily sports-bar centric type offerings: sandwiches, burgers, wings, some salads and apps - a fat kids dream. Beers were icy cold and fresh and went well with our nachos and burgers. Food portions were good sized and everything was fresh and well made. Overall a fine experience and I would definitely hit it again if in the area. There were plenty of tv's around for catching whatever sports were on as well in the event you are looking for a place to watch a game, Prices were average. Parking lot in front
