I take steak rankings far more seriously than any reasonable person probably should. Once Iowa puts a sizzling ribeye, a century-old family recipe, or a grill-your-own dinner in front of me, however, pretending to stay objective gets complicated. I traveled across the state comparing the places that have built serious...

Victory Social Club brings new class of dining with menu standouts to Cedar Rapids
CEDAR RAPIDS — Somewhere between casual and upscale, a unique menu is setting apart a new restaurant in Cedar Rapids. At Victory Social Club, there are no reservations, pomp or circumstance. Diners are welcomed to come as they are, catch up on the latest games with sports screens surrounding the dining room and make friends at the bar. But even without white tablecloths, that doesn’t stop them from offering the finer things in life — a $115 Tomahawk steak flambeed at your table, charbroiled oysters, tableside Caesar salad and indulgent sides. Victory Social Club, a new opening from restaurateur John Lillibridge, hopes to make dining out a social affair once again. “Too many of us don’t use dining out as an experience anymore. It’s ‘hey, let’s go grab a bite to eat and whatever,’” he said. “This is finally something that the community needs after COVID — a place to come and just get really high-quality, awesome food. Spin it a little bit to make it fun and interactive, but at the end of the day, it’s really about the social environment that we’re trying to create.” How it started With decades of experience as a chef and manager, Lillibridge

Bojangles plans new Iowa restaurants with its national expansion
A Southern fried chicken restaurant is planning to open new restaurants in Iowa as it eyes northern and western expansion. Bojangles , a North Carolina-based chain known for its chicken, biscuits and sweet tea, told The Gazette it is searching for opportunities to build locations in or around Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Des Moines and Council Bluffs. The brand is recruiting franchisees to develop new multilocation agreements in cities or territories. If the right franchisee is found soon, Bojangles could open its first Iowa restaurant as early as 2028. But a lack of franchisees won’t necessarily preclude the brand from moving to Iowa, according to Brooks Speirs, vice president of franchise sales for Bojangles. Almost one-third of the chain’s current restaurants are corporate-owned. The move comes on the heels of rapid growth. Since the regional chain launched its national expansion in 2022, it has grown to 900 locations — about 50 of which are not in its traditional southeastern territory. The brand has opened 25 restaurants across 12 states in the first half of 2026 alone, including its first restaurants in Michigan, New York and Oklahoma. The nearest Bojangles location to Iowa is in Normal, Illinois, with no locations in
