9 Great Iowa Restaurants I’ve Eaten at This November/December

It's the holiday season, so I've been going out to eat a LOT lately. There have been all sorts of celebrations and events happening these past few weeks, and a busy schedule means that I just don't feel like cooking. That's ok, though, because I've been able to support some amazing local restaurants!

Here are eight Eastern Iowa restaurants (and one Des Moines restaurant) that I ate at in November and December of 2023. By total accident, most of them are located in Downtown Cedar Rapids...

• Big Grove Brewery - 170 1st St SW, Cedar Rapids
• Black Sheep Social Club -  600 1st Street SE, Cedar Rapids
