Vernon Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Cedar Rapids

Interesting to see the changes at the new location (from the previous Fresh wraps) but I'd never been to the old Vernon Bar and Grill either to compare. Wait staff was great. Pretty varied menu for such a small place. We ordered the fish sandwich, a hot beef plate and shared an order of corn nuggets. They weren't spicy as the menu suggested (supply chain issues we were told when we asked) but they were delicious. The hot beef was good, though still not my favorite and came with plenty of good brown gravy. The mashed potatoes were good too, thicker than the last place I had had a hot beef at. The fish on the fish sandwich was much larger than the bun. No complaints. The crinkle cut fries were just OK. Reminded me a bit of coated fries which I'm not a huge fan of. So while not outstanding, still solid. Overall a good experience and probably a great option for those looking for a late night meal as the kitchen stays open with a limited menu until midnight. They also serve...

I loved my time here at Vernon bar and grill tonight. We have loved down the street from this place for almost a year now and have never gotten to coming in and man so I regret that but I’m so happy I have now. The food was amazing. You NEED to get a patty melt. And the people working? All super nice and didn’t make it an intimidating bar scene like a lot of bartenders do. There’s pool, darts, a touch tunes, and a few other games. If you’re down for a laid back comfortable environment with awesome American eats you will love this place. I know it’s mine and my fiancé’s new favorite and we will...

Went in a little before noon on a Saturday for some late breakfast. No interrogations about bringing my family (including two small children) with me; order was taken quickly, we were checked on several times and felt respected by the staff as well as the other customers in what some people may view as an unconventional dining choice for small children. Food was absolutely amazing. Very fairly priced, almost too hot to eat upon arrival and a giant thumbs up on the pancakes from a 3 year old - can't do much...
