I've been to a Cheddar's before. I'd put it below Chili's, and above TGIFridays.I drink at cheddars all the time
The Mexican list is trash. Mamacita, El Bajio and Coucho are better than anything on that list.
I’m generally in agreement with the comments mocking these lists, but Imma let my ghetto side show for a bit.I don't disagree with you, but Mas Margaritas is absolutely good enough to be on the list.
Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Hacienda. I enjoyed the food every time I've been there. I just don't think it's tops in the CR.I’m generally in agreement with the comments mocking these lists, but Imma let my ghetto side show for a bit.
Hacienda on Center Point Road is wonderful and if you disagree I will fight you in their creepy attic area, also called Fight Balcón. Then, we’ll drain their barrel of margarita.
Agreed. ^^ But I am traveling now, deliberately looking for a non chain restaurant and they are in short supply...unfortunately IMO.Lots of good places listed, but LOL @ these chain restaurants finding their way onto these lists.
Seeing OG in there with Bari and Napoli’s…come on.
Cobble Hill is awesome, as is Rodina. I would put them as 1a 1b in terms of fine dining.And Iowans wonder why they get made fun of outside the state.
The best restaurant in CR is Cobble Hill. That may be the best restaurant in Iowa.
Yup, Oscars is a great place. Delicious food for a very good price too. I dig little diner places like that. Their cinnamon rolls are friggin bomb too.Cobble Hill is awesome, as is Rodina. I would put them as 1a 1b in terms of fine dining.
Love seeing Oscars on the list! I have known the owners for a long time and they work so dang hard are just the nicest people. My late grandmother would go there every friday night for supper and there were many times that they would comp her meal. Never was sure why until after she had passed and I stopped in for breakfast when they told me how much they enjoyed her coming in and chatting with the staff(their kids) and how nice she was to all of them. I try to go there at least once a week and they always say hello and call me by name. If you haven't been, I would recommend it. High praise for the corned beef has with two over easy eggs and a cup of coffee. Delicious!
Scratch made too! If you are lucky and are there around the holidays, the mom makes some great middle eastern deserts and may slip a couple on your plate. Best Baklava I have ever had!Yup, Oscars is a great place. Delicious food for a very good price too. I dig little diner places like that. Their cinnamon rolls are friggin bomb too.

That new Mideastern grocery store has fresh made baklava too that's really goodScratch made too! If you are lucky and are there around the holidays, the mom makes some great middle eastern deserts and may slip a couple on your plate. Best Baklava I have ever had!
The corned beef hash is what I got the last time I was there. DeeeeelishCorner beef hash is awesome there.
Although not listed in coffee shops I love Lightworks on the back side of Benz. Not only is the food good, the owners are great people and busted their ass doing everything they could to stay afloat during COVID. Their burgers and chicken sandwiches are great.
Crapids is as crapids does.Cedar Rapidians have spoke again, voting for the top restaurants in the area. The #1 overall restaurant....****ing Cheddars.

Cedar Rapidians Name 2023's Best Area Restaurants [LIST]
CommunityVotes has released their annual list of the top businesses in the Cedar Rapids area!khak.com
I never had Roscoe's and regret it because now I live up in the Cedar Falls area. I do trek down to my office once or twice a month, so I need to get their pizza one of these days while I'm down there.White people. SMDH.
Worst omission: Siamville beating Nara for Thai food. Siamville might be the best restaurant in CR overall.
Best Call: Roscoe’s pizza. The original Tomaso’s recipe. Motown style is the best pizza in town.
CR has a lot of great restaurants, it's just the simpletons in the city enjoy their chains more than anything else.Cedar Rapids sucks food wise if Chick-fil-A Olive Garden and Texas Roadhouse are on the list. Do better CR
That it would take place at Cheddar's?That was always a fear of mine in arm wrestling matches.
