    tenderloin sandwich
    Lauren W.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]As soon as you walk in, this place is loud. With both energy and decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tons of lights up on the ceiling and little pig decorations everywhere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We happened to come on music trivia night, which was a nice surprise to join in on![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was great. Claire was an excellent server who was very attentive and made sure our orders came out perfectly. The pork tenderloin sandwich was amazing!! It was crispy and juicy, definitely not dry at all even without any sauce on it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun atmosphere with good food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Great service! In addition to our server, a man came around offering samples of beers and canned cocktails. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I don't do well with high top tables and that is all we saw when we walked in. Keep walking! There are low tables behind the wall[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The food was delish. He had the tenderloin sandwich and I had the soup and salad combo. Homemade tortellini and sausage soup with a fresh salad with dill ranch dressing. Lovely combo for $10. He thought the tenderloin needed more seasoning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was vibrant and loud. Just what we needed after a day with just the two of us on a long car ride.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely would recommend.

    The pork tenderloin sandwich was delicious!! Glad we shared because it's huge. Even with the split plate change (didn't realize onion rings were an up charge) it was reasonably priced.

    This place is the schizzle. Was on the pork tenderloin page on fb and mentioned I was driving through Iowa. 5-6 people told me to stop here. Glad I did. I got the hype! And it's only 2 minutes off the highway too!!

    I googled best tenderloin sandwich in CR and the first restaurant that popped up was The Blind Pig. I'm so thankful we took a chance on this little spot because the service was amazing and the food fantastic!! You can't go wrong with the flavor of the tenderloin sandwich and the sauce that came with the hot chips was phenomenal!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The whole vibe of The Blind Pig is exceptional[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]!!

    They have a good grilled tenderloin. We were there for an Iowa football game and couldn't see the tv with the hanging down ceiling light.

    Scores on 33rd is excellent. We walked here from our hotel on a whim and were seated promptly. The…read moremenu is extensive, featuring wings, burgers, and pizza. I chose the catfish po' boy with jalapeño corn. The corn was amazing, but the sandwich itself was just okay. My lady ordered the Nashville Chix with coleslaw. The chicken had the perfect blend of spicy and delicious. The coleslaw was really good, though I'm not a coleslaw fan, so take that for what it's worth. The atmosphere includes lots of TVs playing sports, a large bar, and at least two pool tables. There's also a big outdoor seating area with cornhole. It felt a touch run down when we visited, but we arrived just after winter, so it's probably very nice the rest of the year. The staff was attentive and friendly. It's also conveniently located near hotels, shops, and plenty of other things to do. I would definitely return to Scores.

    Traveling, stayed at a nearby hotel. Looking for somewhere to eat that wasn't a chain restaurant…read moreand found this place. From the moment we walked in, the service was fantastic!! There was a huge party, a group of little leaguers and parents (30-40 people) there at the time. We were told that because of that, the food might take a little longer, we were fine with that, but appreciated the heads up. Despite that, the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. And the food was really good! Great sandwiches and fries, all served hot. The waiter continued to be attentive throughout our meal, even though he was extremely busy. We were very impressed. We stop through Cedar Rapids every year so we're glad we finally found a good place to relax and have dinner. Btw, the multiple sports on TV are a total bonus!
