I visited this place after a brisk hike at a nearby park. I was hungry. Heard this place was in the running for Best burger in Iowa this year. You drive into downtown off state highway 13. Living in Cedar Rapids this was a short drive. Parking not a problem as there are many spots available. I didn't see any marked handicapped only though. But it's small town Iowa and there shouldn't be a problem. It looks like a newer building. Inside it's nicely decorated and clean. Nice spacious dining area. Clean bathrooms.

I drank all of my lemonade before my food even came out, it took 45 minutes to get it,wasn’t real busy neither. Since you don’t get refills on lemonade, I asked if I could have a glass of ice water. The waitress told me No!! This was my first and last time to ever go here. We spent over $35.00 on 2 meals and ice cream and couldn’t get a...
