The State of Iowa has Some Awesome Diners [PHOTOS]
Only in Your State recently posted a list titled, '10 Diners That Capture The Spirit Of Iowa," and a few of them are here on the east side of the state!
I love all kinds of restaurants, but there's something about diners that you just can't beat. I don't know if it's the family-friendliness, the mellow atmosphere, or the abundance of fried foods and juicy burgers, but I love it all! Only in Your State recognized ten diners in Iowa on their new list, and I'm happy to report that a few of them are pretty close to Cedar Rapids! Here's a look at some of the mentions:
- Palisades Cafe - Mt. Vernon
- Newton's Paradise Cafe - Waterloo
- Bluebird Diner - Iowa City
- Taylor's Maid-Rite - Marshalltown
- The Fort Diner - Fort Madison
Diners in Ottumwa, Decatur, and Prairie City also made the list, which you can see HERE.
