Cross Roads Bistro — Restaurant in Cedar Rapids

Crossroads is an odd but interesting mix of a restaurant. They have traditional American breakfast and lunch. The other aspect of the restaurant is they have Chinese food and sushi. Very odd but interesting combination. My friend and I had breakfast. I had the Iowa shipwreck and an order of biscuits and gravy. My friend had the western shipwreck and we both had coffee. The coffee was satisfactory as far as plain cafe coffee is. A little creamer and sugar and was perfectly palatable. The shipwrecks were excellent, with fantastic flavor and plenty of ingredients, no skimping on the meats and cheeses. There was plenty of food and we both took about half our order home as leftovers. The biscuits and gravy was very good for restaurant gravy with so many disappointing versions at most places you go out to eat. With just a little salt and pepper to personalize, the food was excellent. The prices can't be beat as you get plenty of food for the prices you pay. We did have to wait a bit longer for our orders to get out to us but I'm ok with that because the food appears to be cooked when you order it as it came out hot and fresh. Not warmed over like so many other places. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the service is just a bit lacking as we had to continually ask for our coffee to be refreshed but they were quick to respond when asked for something, like coffee refresh or chalula hot sauce. I am going back to try the sushi as looks like that is also fresh made as the sushi station is right out in the open for you to see your food being prepared. I may do another review once I have tried other food here, otherwise, based on my experience so far, would highly recommend for really good and fresh food with...

Very diverse menu, from breakfast items to diner fare and the asian cuisine we were looking forward to trying, AND we were glad we did! The house made Appitizers we tried, shrimp toast and crab rangoons were excellent, pot stickers were good ,but were were disappointed they wernt pan steamed and fried, they were deep fried. The spicy tuna roll, sushi was good, long grain rice instead of sushi rice, but that made me like it more, I am not a huge sushi fan.We also enjoyed our entrees of Chicken Larb, mongolian beef, Burmese curry , chicken lo mein. I look forward to going back to try more of the menu. Also , coke products 😎. Staff was freindly and knowledgeable and some very...

This used to be one of my favorite places to eat, since the food is above average for Cedar Rapids. However, the last time I went, another customer came inside with a small dog. Some of the tables have bench seats. The dog jumped up on the bench seat, where it sat beside its owner the entire time I was there. I overheard the customer ask the waitress for a cup of milk to feed the dog. From what I could observe, the dog did not appear to be a service animal. I refuse to eat at restaurants where non-service animals are allowed to sit at tables, so I will never go back...
