Bianchi's Hilltop Restaurant
Pizza restaurant
😠 Pizza is not what it use to be. Price way to high now $26.75 for a large. 3 topping very little and I mean little sausage some pieces had none. 1 or 2 on others and way too much cheese made it very chewy. Won't be back.

Iowa State Fair Grandstand
Concert hall
🫤 They usually find really good acts but to be honest it's just not a great place for a concert. The acoustics aren't bad but the sight lines to the stage can be really poor due to columns & very wide placement of seats to the side of the stage to the point of not being able to actually see the stage....

E 25th Pub & Grub
Bar & grill
😠 Everyone kept recommending this place for good food. So finally broke and went there. Waitress/bartender was super nice. But service and food was a 2 out 10. There was not many people in bar, ao not busy at all. We ordered a appetizer, didn't have what we wanted so went with cheddar balls instead of...
