The Blind Pig is a wonderful establishment that serves larger than life portions of good home cooked food. The tenderloin is huge. Nachos are made with fresh jalepenos. Burgers are cooked to perfection. Lunch specials are spot on WONDERFUL! You won't be disappointed here! read more

This place is a let down...the name sure fits the place, dirty unclean floor...food isnt bad but service is horrible. Servers dont care about customers. Had to ask for my own plates and silverware...dont waste your money at this place read more

The Blind Pig - Whole floor covered in old food and debris - Sports Bars Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

In the former Londoner location, The Blind Pig is much more of a bar that the previous business. Frankly I like the old atmosphere better. It gets very loud in here especially with drunk people laughing hysterically. One woman obviously over-served, could barely walk out on her own. The food is very good though. There are only two non-sandwich entrees but the burgers and sandwiches are more chef inspired that your average bar food. I recommend the beer battered, thick cut onion rings. Not too overly battered and have a great flavor. The Caprese burger was creative and tasty. The Philly was good but not over the top good. Only one server to tend bar and wait on all the tables. He worked his butt off but didn't appear overly stressed. I'd probably go back for lunch or a slower night when there's fewer drunks. read more

See all

Finally got around to entering the Blind Pig to give it a try. First off, the noise level almost got me to turn around and go elsewhere. Hunger often times rules over common sense. Service was prompt and courteous. I ordered wings, as usual. The Pig's wings were tiny and a bit dry. Fortunately it was Wednesday (.50 wing night) and I didn't have to pay $10 for them. I honestly don't see myself coming back, there wasn't anything spectacular about this place in my opinion. read more

Love the food here so delicious . Unfortunately that is not enough to keep us as customer, due to the god awful service here we will never be back. The girls that work here are more caught up talking with them selfs then doing their actual job. We even tried coming on different days and run into the same problem. Plus the food is not priced affordable how are u gonna charge $2 to change your fries to curly fries I can understand $1 but $2 that's like the same price as a side of them . read more

I've been here many times, the food quality is really consistent! I ordered the Rodeo burger with tater tots and was very impressed. The place can be a bit noisy and it took awhile to get my check, but those are the only two knocks. Think gourmet bar food. read more

The Blind Pig - Rodeo burger with tater tots! - Sports Bars Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Don't judge a book by its cover. Looks like an ordinary bar from the exterior, but the food here is great and the service was the best I've had in a very long time. Our drink glasses were never empty and we never once asked for refills. We were impressed - and thankful - that they were open regular hours on the 4th of July. read more

5:00 pm and can't hear the person next to me the music is so loud. Requested staff to lower but nope.

Fantastic food and service! Steak sandwich was the best I've had, buffalo chicken sandwich was very good. The dill ranch dip is so good with tots read more

Been here a handful of times. Every time I have tried something different and everything has been amazing. The food is just delicious. Even took the kids on one trip and they have asked to come back. Would recommend this place as we will definitely be going back again. read more

Service slow. Burgers overdone like hockey puck. My wife's chicken sandwich was cold. Bartender extremely rude. Have eaten there many times so not first experience, but is our LAST read more

OMG amazing food. Huge portions, great prices. Awesome staff. I had the tenderloin delicious....I could only eat 1/2 but leftovers are great. The other half had a cheesey Mack burger and his exact words were ' this is the best burger I've ever had ' which is huge coming from someone who always orders a hamburger everywhere we go. Morgan was our waitress and ROCKED. read more

Went for burgers and weren't disappointed!! Highly recommend the A-1 burger, the Jack-Mac burger, and the tenderloin! All were awesome!! Well lit and roomier inside than you think and has outdoor patio. Lots of local beers too! read more

Very good tenderloins. Excellent service with good value for your money. The local beer selection is very good and tv galore. They have different channels so you are not stuck watching something of no interest. Appears to be a favorite of the locals. read more

50 cent wings on Wednesdays are good, the rest of the food is good too. Try their BBQ pork read more

This establishment has the most positive energetic vibe. All the guys are hot..even the employees, as are us ladies. I love Karaoke nights with all these awesome singers and the audience participation. The drinks are great and happy hours kick ass. Everyone has a great sense of humor (or id be banned...lmaojk) I am looking forward to Singles Valentine Orgy..I mean event.. I have yet to eat there...Liquid diets for the girlish figure! read more

The Blind Pig has the best bar food offered I have had. It has many TVs for watching multiple sporting events in a single setting. The food was amazing. Everyone in my family got something different and they all enjoyed their meal. They have many menu items to choose from, and I will be back to try some more menu items out. read more

I yelped this place after landing back in Iowa! Great breaded pork tenderloin! I loved the fries too..nice crispy outside.

Went here yesterday for lunch beers was good so was sandwich. Waitress didn't write order down which lead to wrong orders. But payed extra $2.50 for onions rings got five damn rings. read more

Sat down and waited for the waitress to acknowledge us. Well 7 tables later somebody came over. Didn't bother to wipe the dirty table. We at that time just wanted to see if anybody served tables or just said hi and giggled with their friends. Very disappointed. read more

For some reason the signage was intimidating, but once inside it's a pretty decent bar. Food is above average pub fare, and the beer selection is pretty good as well...I had a Stone IPA and a Two Hearted so I was happy. The service makes me think they could use another set of hands in the place - in any case they are always pleasant. There are a lot of tv's as well so it would be a fine spot for watching sports, without all the insanity of say a Buffalo Wild Wings. Nice local spot, though the karaoke does take over the entire place when it's happening, for better or worse. read more

My wife and I had a bad experience here once and have stayed away for several months. From the pics and comments on their website we decided to try it again on a Sunday for lunch. We were very surprised by the high quality food. I had the Grilled Chicken Pesto sandwich that had grilled red peppers on it and it was delicious. Wife's Reubon was also above average. We started with the corn nuggets as an app and they were a great start. Football was coming on and the place filled quickly but our server, Shannon did a phenomenal job keeping the drinks and food coming. She could have used some help but she was very effective by herself. I recommend this little bar for good food and service. read more

Tried the 50/50 bacon/burger and was great. Decent tap beer selection.

Great Food in a Sports Bar. I had a California Chicken Sandwich with Sweet Potato Waffle Fries. A large, juicy chicken breast with melted cheese, yummy bacon, avocado and garlic mayo on a tasty bun. Big and delicious. The waffle fries were cook perfectly with just the right amount of crisp. Ask for a gourmet dipping sauce...Its really Good DH had a Philly Cheesesteak with Homemade Onion Rings. It was big with lots of freshly cooked meat, cheesy and delicious. The onion rings are cut fresh from real onions, hand breaded and fried perfectly. We stopped for a quick supper and a beer. Nice selection on tap. Met a few friends for drinks and our men played a few games of pool. My meal was more than just bar food. It was upscale bar food and the best sandwich I have had in a long time. Keep up the good work! read more

We've been here more times than we should've...the food is decent, although too pricey compared to similar spots around town. The service is rough. We always have lots of empty glasses and missing meals and the servers can be scatterbrained. Even the bills have been wrong more than once. They always end up fixing everything, but it's just not worth it when there's so many other options. read more

The wait staff if always so nice and service is very quick. I have had the garlic cheese curds the last few times I've been there and they are SO good!! I would definitely recommend this place for lunch. read more

The blind pig is the place to go to watch a game and hang out with friends. The food is unbelievably priced. Large portions for not much cash. But the flavor is amazing. Love the taste. Staff could be a little more friendly but overall a great place to go! read more

Excellent food and wonderful service. Stopped in for lunch on a long road trip and was very impressed. Will certainly visit again when in Cedar Rapids read more

Great food. Had the mushroom and swiss burger. The waitress did a great job. Will be going back soon.

Service was good but not excellent. Food was okay but my husbands burger was too rare and They never asked how he wanted it done.....I had the nachos and they didn't have much meat, cheese or anything on them. I could if just ordered chips and salsa. The biggest turn off was the loud music ... it was too loud and you couldn't have conversation without yelling. I don't understand this because maybe the employees like this but they aren't the customers so turn it down. Maybe after 9pm. You can turn it up! We may try it again but not sure. read more

Well, I've never written a restaurant review before, and I'm not a professional "foodie", but I visited a place for the first time last night and thought I would let you all know what I thought! After a round of disc golf, Greg and I decided to stop in for a bite to eat at The Blind Pig on Center Point Road in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The building was previously The Londoner, and before that I believe it was a sports-themed bar that I can't remember the name of. Obviously the set-up of the building is the same as the previous bars, and unfortunately I didn't take the time to really look around at the decor. I did notice that there were plenty of TV's around, making it a good place to watch "the game", if you are into that kind of thing. They had a decent sized beer menu, including several craft beers. And the food, I am told, is all made from scratch. Greg ordered one of his faves, fish and chips, and I ordered a meatloaf sandwich and sweet potato fries. Both were very yummy. And at the end of our meal, someone from the kitchen came out to ask us how the food was, and also offered to bring me out some secret marshmallow sauce for the sweet potato fries I was packing up to take home with me. Well, I don't know if it is secret sauce, but I don't believe it was on the menu, so you have to know to ask for it. So now you know-ask for it. Definitely yummy! There were plenty of other things on the menu that I would like to try, so I will have to make some more visits. And you should too! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find an official facebook page or website to send you to, but if you are in Cedar Rapids, you know the area I am talking about. So the next time you are wondering where to grab a bite to eat, make sure to pay a visit to The Blind Pig! read more

Its always a good thing to walk into a place where the enviorment is friendly and fun and the Bartenders always greet you with a smile...love this place the food is fabulous... read more

We just recently discovered this bar and grill. The service is prompt and friendly, and the food is definitely a cut above for "bar food"! We will likely be regulars. read more

Ate here last night with friends. As others reviewers have stated, this is a very noisy bar, but the food is excellent! We shared fresh made onion rings and better dipped mushrooms. Also tried the French Onion soup. I had a French Dip Sandwich. Yum, yum and yum! Our waitress promised us everything was fresh made in house and there was no reason to doubt her. My cole slaw was good, but my wife tried the potato salad and it was absolutely the best I've had in a restaurant. All the food we tried was far above what I have experienced in other local restaurants who serve ready made stuff or even if they make their own, they don't serve it fresh. Update 5/20/15. Took another friend here tonight. Got a different server. She brought apps and entrees together. Nothing was hot. Potato salad was old and runny. Wow! What happened? The only bright spot of our evening was that our good waitress from last Friday took over toward the end but it was too late to save things. When we left, the bad waitress was outside having a smoke. read more

Wanted food with a few beers, so we decided to give this place a try on a Tuesday night. Food was great, from a place with pig in the name I was hoping the pork would be good, and it was. I got the pig out burger was awesome- especially since I don't usually get burgers when we go out to eat. The sweet potato fries were worth the little extra. My wife got the pulled pork and Jac mac, I tasted both and they were also really good. They have a hot cherry steak sauce that was delicious. I am really surprised by the flavor variety they have, as well as the number of number of tap beers (20!), and 2/3 of them are specialty or imports. Service was pretty good, a bar tender, a cook, and a waitress and the place was at least 1/2 full the whole time we were there (not including the patio area, at least 2-3 parties out there), we were never lacking for drinks long. I am not a fan of loud places, and as far as this bar and grill goes, it wasn't bad, music wasn't over powering, was able to talk to my wife without yelling and others conversations were competing with ours. We left about 9 pm as a DJ was just getting started. Could do without the smokers sitting on the bench outside the main entry (thought there was a law about proximity to the door), bur, all in all I said you get what pay for and if you're looking for bar and grill this place fits the bill. read more

Went here with a large group. The food was good but the service was poor. Had to track waitress down for beer several times. When I settled the bill I saw a charge for a beer I didn't order, but let it slide. Checked my account and waitress added in a $10 tip when I had put cash in the folder. read more

We ate on the patio because it was loud and crowded inside. Dismayed to see cigarette butts and yesterday's trash all over at 5:30 pm. Not very appetizing. The food was so-so. Mostly fried food. Wouldn't recommend it. read more

We were just in there, and this is only the second time I had been so disgusted by such lack of hygiene. The other time was at Willy's. I have never written a review on yelp, but my experience here was nasty. How do you screw up a soda, when that's the only thing I had ordered? The soda was correct (a Diet Coke), but inside, only after having drank the whole glass, did I find a white substance smeared in it. Not only that, but there was what looked like lemon...in a Diet Coke glass... read more

Been to Blind Pig multiple times and tried multiple different items. All were A+. Very consistent. Quick ticket times.

"Joyci" & "JR" love this new kick ass place! We sang our hearts out and everybody loved us! "Butterfly" made us feel so welcome and so did all the kids! All over 21 of course! They are all so wonderful! We will be regulars fo' sure! Right after we just got married by "Elvis" in Vegas too! Can't wait to eat there this weekend after reading all the great reviews! Love, "JR" & "Joyci" Rupert! xoxo Blind Pig gets a 5+ rating from us! read more
