People Come From All Over Iowa For This Secret Hole-In-The-Wall Hamburger Restaurant
People really do drive into Marshalltown just for this little burger spot.

Burgers borrow names from wrestling legends, toppings get unapologetically weird, and even the sides seem...

Tommy’s Restaurant continues Cedar Rapids growth with First Avenue opening
CEDAR RAPIDS — After years of change, a family restaurant returns to First Avenue for the first time in over 30 years. This time, with a new owner. Tommy’s Restaurant, a subtle fixture in the diner scene of Cedar Rapids for over 60 years, has kept itself going through several changes in ownership thanks to a close connection with customers. Now, at the helm of owners Steve Baker Jr. and Morgan Baker, a new vision for growth is taking hold. With a vacancy left by the departure of Outback Steakhouse, the owners are making good on a vision for growth through a new outlet on First Avenue — this time, a tad further east and south than the last time Tommy’s called the thoroughfare home. Next generation Tommy’s was the restaurant that got Steve Baker Jr. into the industry on his 14th birthday, when his father dropped him off for his first job in October 1991. “He said ‘it’s time for you to get to work,’” Baker said. “And so that’s how I started. For eight years, he worked at Tommy’s Restaurant until he decided it was time to learn a technical trade — 12-volt electrical systems for cars. “I

5 Mom and Pop Restaurants in Cedar Rapids, Iowa that Locals Swear By
Cedar Rapids, Iowa — a city stitched together by the slow bend of the Cedar River, where brick mills and painted murals stand as sentinels to resilience, and where the laughter of families and the hum of industry mingle in the summer air. Here, Czech heritage and Midwestern warmth meet in every handshake, every festival, every plate passed across a crowded table. The neighborhoods pulse with the stories of newcomers and old-timers, of artists and engineers, of dreamers who build and rebuild, again and again.

This Tiny Eastern Iowa Diner Serves Plate-Sized Pancakes That Have Become A Local Legend
I thought I was ordering a pancake. Then the plate showed up, and suddenly that description felt a little dishonest. The thing stretched almost to the edges, with barely enough room left for butter and syrup. My first reaction was to laugh. My second was to start wondering whether ordering...
