I'm passing through Iowa City next week. Haven't been there, other than for a FB game, in quite a while. Any recommendations for good lunch spots - casual, place to meet a couple former roommates, good food, cold beer? Thanks!
Iowa City - Lunch recommendations
- Thread starter St. Louis Hawk
- Start date
If you are downtown some old favorites are The Airliner and Micky's. George's for burgers, beers are limited.
Yeah, I've only eaten there once, but we thought it was very good. It's fun to sit at the bar and watch them prepare all of the dishes right in front of you.
I know nothing about Jimmy Jacks but if I was passing through for lunch I'd eat someplace downtown where I could sit outside and enjoy the scenery.
Pulman's or outside seating at Atlas are the obvious choices. Jimmy Jack's be the Sycamore Mall? How about Hardee's on the Coralville strip?
Exactly. 90% of the reason for going out for lunch with the ex-college brahs is to check out the current college tail.
Is this because you don't like Jimmy Jacks, or because you think it is Jimmy Johns?
The Airliner isn't good anymore. Neither is Atlas. Micky's has great food, old-school vibe, and an improved beer selection. Upstairs at 126 serves lunch (or at least they used to.) Mondo's Saloon will give you what you're looking for too.
I'm unfamiliar with Pullmans, but have heard good things.

I just ate at Atlas last week and it was outstanding. No clue what you're talking about.
