Food Average for a cheap diner. One of my biggest turn-offs is UNWRAPPED TOOTHPICKS in a cup. Reach in with your flu and dirty fingers and grap one, stick it in your mouth. DISCUSTING. Sandwich was thin, Coffee was extra strong or OLD, fries were cold. Service was slow. ALL IN ALL, this was my second time there. EXACTLY THE... more

Okay, so the burgers are good, slaw is good, fries can be great if they're warm (IF), drinks or shakes are good if they remember to bring them to your table.

A staple of Iowa City, let's call it a landmark. The food is inconsistent, and the prices are high. Try it out, but don't be disappointed if you are disappointed. The shakes are good, and the variety is wide. Do not visit with a large group of people if you want in quickly. more

There is quite an assortment of omelets on the menu and everyone I have tried has been fabulous. My current favorite is "The Zadar" which has hamburger, hash browns, and cheese stuffed inside....yum. My friend usually orders the Farmers omelet stuffed with a variety of breakfast meats. You also get to choose a side or two (pancakes, english muffin, toast,... more
