| Hooters | West Des Moines, IA | |
|
Only tried the wings. Highly recommend the "911" wings as long
as you don't mind not being able to taste anything else. Service
isn't always speedy, but there is enough...scenery... around
to keep a guy's mind otherwise occupied.

| Beck's | Waterloo, IA | |
|
Good food. Nice atmosphere. Service is a little on the slow side
at times, though the staff that I have dealt with have always had
a good attitude and made dining there an enjoyable experience.

| Brown Bottle | Waterloo, IA | |
|
Very good food. A perfect restaurant if you have a date and don't
mind garlic-breath. Entrees are excellent and you will not walk
away hungry. The waiting staff can get a little bogged down, but
general the service is good.

| Carlos O'Kelly's Mexican Cafe | Waterloo, IA | |
|
One of the better Mexican restaurants in this area, though there
are not a lot of good choices. Highly recommend the Pasta Diablo.
Decor of the place lends to the atmosphere.

| Golden China Restaurant | Waterloo, IA | |
|
The BEST Chinese restaurant in the Cedar Falls/Waterloo area.
I have never been disappointed by my food here. The place does
get very busy around holidays.

| Great Dragon Buffet | Waterloo, IA | |
|
A Chinese buffet. They will have a salad table, an appetizer table
and the main entree table. Selection of the entrees is not highly
varied -- there are going to be 3 or 4 reguarly serverd items and
3 or 4 rotated items. Food is not always fresh but it is kept hot.
There is also a small desert bar.

| Sub City | Waterloo, IA | |
|
Good subs. They provide much more meat than Subway sandwiches
for pretty much the same price, though they don't have quite as
much variety for sandwich toppings. They supposedly give away
1 free sandwich a day, but I have yet to see that happen, or even
hear about it.

| Hickory Park | Ames, IA | |
|
The best burger I have ever had. You will not leave hungry. The
biggest problem is trying to save room for thier huge selection
of sundays! You also will have a wait -- I don't know if they take
reservations, but a wait of an hour is not unusual.

| Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar | Cedar Falls, IA | |
|
Good selection of mixed lemonades. Good food. Usually good service.
Expect to wait at least 20 minutes to be seated on holidays and
weekends.

| China Wok | Cedar Falls, IA | |
|
Buffet is pretty good -- wonderful for those weekday lunch hours
when you want Chinese food but don't have time for a more traditional
sit-down restaurant.

| Farmous Dave's Bar-B-Que | Cedar Falls, IA | |
|
Great food, good service, & great atmosphere. The biggest drawback
is that they got rid of my favorite menu item -- the hot links. Try
the Devil's Spit bar-b-que sauce, it's the best!

| Peppers Grille & Sports Pub | Cedar Falls, IA | |
|
Really good food. It is a bar & grille, but there is a definate distinction
between smoking & non-smoking so if you don't smoke you won't
be breathing it. Many choices of burgers and appetizers. Good
deals. Lots of TV's to watch your favorite sports broadcasts.
