There's flavor combinations I wouldn't have thought of trying. The actual burger was good but not great. For a burger joint that charges a premium price, I expect a juicy burger. The meat quality had a few bits of gristle and it wasn't super juicy. It was a bit dry and cooked well done. The fries you could tell were just frozen fries. There's really only street parking or a public parking lot on the same street. However, the restaurant validate parking for the first hour, which is nice. Overall, this place was good but not great. However, the service was great! Friendly staff and it took maybe less than 10 minutes for the food to be ready

I just felt like the experience was 'okay' and I don't know that I would head back there anytime soon when there is a lot more to explore downtown Cedar Rapids.

They do not toss their wings in sauce so you have to double dip/dunk to get the sauce and blue cheese in the same bite. Service was okay. The girl didn't introduce herself by name and the service was lack luster. Nothing special. The bar itself was nice. They did a great job decorating for St Pattys day. I'd go back out of convenience to the location of the hotel in staying but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I'd stay away from the wings too...

We tried a variety of stuff and everything we tried was awesome. The owner Cale stopped by and had a decent conversation with us. Great guy shortly after his wife stopped by and couldn't be more friendly. I can't say enough about this place. If you're in the area, it's a must see! I was in the area for a couple of days and tried to go back the next day, but it was Wall the wall packed so we moved onto another place that didn't nearly live up to this one.

They have a happy hour special and often have other beer specials as well. This is a nice place for an adult beverage. Although it is primarily craft beer they do have wine. Worth the visit.
