My husband and I love good barbecue. We decided to try Al and Irene's in Cedar Rapids. The staff were friendly, but everyone seemed tired. We ordered rib meals with beans and coleslaw. The meat was as tough, the sauce tasted like tomato paste,the beans were hard and the coleslaw was tasteless. We at...
There sauce is some of the best there is There meats are well prepared and smoked to a very high standard The service is slow and the servers are rude The atmosephere is sparce but clean I would eat there on a regular basis if the service were better
i read about al and irenes, and was pretty fired up about going there to try the ribs. we were there right at 11.00 am opening. iwalked in and asked if they were open yet, and in the back ground someone said you got in the door didnt you, i fiqured that this was the rude person i read about. it turn...
When you find this little place off the main strip you'll be pleasantly surprised. The food is excellent and their sauce is the best around. If you're in a rush for lunch don't go there pressed for time cause the place is jammed packed. Their meats are Hickory Smoked to perfection and when you put t...
Family owned. Excellent cuts of meat smoked to perfection. Choice of two homemade sauces: Mild and Hot. The facility is nothing fancy to look at, but then, this is what a casual B-B-Q house should be.
We have been regular's of this "rib joint" since it opened in CR as Jim's Rib Haven. This is the best BBQ we have ever had! WE try BBQ when we travel, and ALWAYS compare it to Al and Irene's. A&I's is always the winner. Hands Down. And...remember, this is a casual place, nuttin fancy! But so dern go...
I eat @ A & I everytime I travel to IC/CR area from Indiana.
Very pleasant environment, good service and food. The locals love it. Plenty of greek specialties from main dishes to pizza. Ever tried saginaki? Do Not go to a chain restaurant!
We carried out Basils pizza about a month ago and it was excellent. We've tried different pizza places since and everytime we say, we should have just gotten Basils. I will definitely be back.
I took my 7 year old with me to get some take out. The man was very friendly to my son (who is quite rambunctious). He even gave us the special although we were over a dollar short. The prices were outstanding for the amount of food given. You can get 3 entrees with extras for around 15 dollars. Foo...
I've been going to the Beijing since I was in a high chair, and I have many fond memories of everyone there. They are all friendly, willing to work with you to help you get the perfect meal and very understanding of restricted dietary needs. A big winner in my book!
The food is great, but the portions are WAY smaller than they used to be while prices have gone up. Their sandwiches used to be twice as big as now. $4.25 for a fish sandwich that isn't much bigger than a chicken mcnugget. We won't go back unless they go back to their old ways. Sorry BF
The Breakfast is back open after the flooding! The food and service is better than ever!
I LOVE the Breakfast House. It manages to stay simplistic in the "mom and pop" kind of way and still appeal to a large mass of people. While I really liked the laid back demeanor the restaurant had pre-flood, the renovation and new decorating scheme makes for a whole new experience that's still deli...
I had a very good experience at the Burger King on Edgewood Road. Everyone was super nice and the food was GREAT...
I called to make a reservation for 15 people and the man on the phone told me that he was to busy to take down my information and then hung up on me. Wouldn't waiste my time with this place.
good food, comfortable, clean surronding and nice people
The Butterfly has AMAZING good home cooking food. I have always had a great experience there. The prices are right, the food is great and the people are "normal." Lots of times there is only one server and they get pretty busy, plus you don't need a reservation, they are always accomodating. I l...
A group of six in town for a motivational conference, we stopped in to eat, were greeted rudely, waited 15 minutes to be greeted and over 45 minutes for our food. We watched tables around us sit down, not be greeted and walk away several times. Later we found out that they were not taking orders any...
Best upscale food in Cedar Rapids. Chalkboard menu plus huge regular menu. Maybe too many choices. Restroom was not in best shape and server didnt know much about food. Food made up for it though.Quite pricey but the food is very sophisticated.
