Best Iowa city/Coraville/Cedar Rapids restaurant?
- Thread starter BrunoMars420
- Start date
IDK, but I could go for a Vine Stein and some wings right now. From the IC location, for nostalgia.
La Regia or El Paso have some of the best tacos in the midwest. Cabeza or lengua .
Szechuan House for Chinese.
Sun Cafe is a great Vietnamese place. The Pho is really good and the smoked duck is excellent.
Oasis falafel is one of my favorites.
Nodo is good for lunch.
Both Pullman (IC) and Big Grove(North Liberty Solon) have incredibly talented chefs that do a great job.

I haven't been to Taste of India for awhile. Still on Old Marion Road NE? Last time we went was probably Spring 2016 and service was SLOW and this was early (5:30 or so). Food was good though and they forgot to charge us for the bottle of wine (or we were comped, maybe) so it wasn't a total loss.
For Cedar Rapids I'd add Black Sheep Social Club and White Star Ale House (don't know if they have a website). Been to each several times and always have had good meals. I could have just been lucky too, I guess, as I'm sure there are some who've had horrible meals.
I almost said White Star Ale House, it is usually very good, but I had one REALLY underdone steak there once.
Not even the best tacos in Iowa. Good, but not the best. They do get points for authenticity.
I will second Oasis. It's very good.
Good luck finding this place though.
I will second:
Wasabi (Best sushi you can get in the corridor).
Taste of India. Yes service is usually slow, but it's worth the wait.
Leonardos pizza. Very good pizza in an old school restaurant.
I'll add for CR:
Pho. Awesome and authentic Vietnamese.
Need Pizza. Good pizza and great craft beer selection.
Third Base Brewery. Always has good food and good beer.
I want to like your post because I know you're joking, but I can't bring myself to do it. That's how much I hate Carlos O'Kelly's. Don't take it personal.
Anyone that goes to the Coralville location is a square.
I know and I'll be a square before the basketball game Sunday. It just feels wrong going to the Coralville location if I'm not going to Carver.
Ok that's fair. I rarely go out in IC but if I do it's for a basketball game and the Vine or Wig just make sense, especially from a parking perspective.
Forgot about the Wig and Pen and their nationally famous flying tomato pizza...

I thought Baroncini closed. And for what you get at Joseph's it's hella overpriced. If you want an expensive steakhouse I think Ruthie's at the Riverside Casino is better.
My votes for Iowa City would be for Atlas, Northside Bistro (get the seafood risotto if it's on the menu), or Orchard Green.
La Juanita's
If I ever have a reason to be in that part of the state I'll give it a try, until then la regia is tops in my rankings.
Was just there two or three weeks ago it's open. Popoli's in Cedar Rapids is good for Italian also.

Leonardo's in CR is a must. Great pizza and sandwiches and a cool environment.
I like Blackstone in IC. Right near our Bickford Senior Living branch (I work for the corporate office in Olathe, KS).
