Birdie's Bistro

Restaurant

👍👍 I can't say enough about this place. I ALMOST didn't want to put a review to keep people away so it's not busy when I want to go. Their food is top notch and delicious. Dubuques food is normally bland, NOT HERE!! We have been a few times and each time it is amazing. Plus the country kitchen vibe is...

Concept Kitchen

👍👍 Chef Clint Goodman makes tasty food in a genre hard to find in Cedar Falls. He personally explains the special ingredients when serving. This is inside Second State Brewing where the beers are always great. Tonight we tried the French Onion Soup and Gocaujang Honey wings.

Cottonwood Canyon

Brunch restaurant

Back then, my friends and I would go there to work on our business ideas for opening a music studio. The owner would come over to learn more about what we were doing and...

Jardin

Vegan restaurant

👍👍 I was tempted to write that this was the “best vegan food” we’ve had, but I think that would do it a disservice. It really was some of the “best food” we’ve had, vegan or not. We had the garden salad (see photo), the yuba salad (see photo), the lobster mushroom pasta dish, and the warm oat cookie wi...

Frassati's Coffeehouse

Coffee shop

👍👍 I heard about this coffeehouse from their booth at a local fair. I thought it was going to be just a place to hang out, which it is. However, I was caught off guard by the service and the hospitality of the coffeehouse. The food (I got a Frassati Burger meal) was really good for the price. I thorou...
