Eastern Iowa Restaurants Make the List of ‘Must Try’ Spots in 2018
Last year, one of my New Year's Resolutions was to try out a new (to me) Eastern Iowa restaurant for the entire year. I tried 18 awesome places, but there are still so many I need to get to! Only in Your State put together a list of 12 Iowa restaurants that you should try in 2018, and a few of the chosen spots aren't too far from Cedar Rapids! Here are a few of them:
- Bluff Lake Catfish Farm in Makoqueta
- La Regia Taqueria in Iowa City
- Rube's Steakhouse in Montour
- Morg's Diner in Waterloo
- Big's BBQ and Brew Pub in Mount Vernon
- Rapid Creek Cidery in Iowa City
Check out the rest of the list HERE!
