While it’s not my choice of atmosphere, it certainly serves the clientele. I was thrilled to see the vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free sections on the menu. That makes it super clear and helpful. The service on a Monday night in January was quick and kind. Very grateful

Zeppelins is such a wonderful experience every single time we go. The food is near perfection, I love that this restaurant has a gluten free menu and takes allergies seriously. I have never had any issues while eating at this restaurant. The happy hour that runs everyday is such always a bonus on top of the wonderful and excellent service we receive from the staff. I wanna give a special shoutout to Ben, who is such a wonderful server and just perfection. He is always excited to see us, makes us feel welcomed and wanted there. He always remembers our drinks, checks out throughout the night and always says when the bill is given he is still around if needed. He is always a pleasure and we love asking for him! We appreciate you! I would also like to give another shoutout to Maddie who is always at the hostess stand, she always make sure we feel special, always has the gluten free menu for us and recalls our name. She’s always a light to our visit, we always love walking in and she’s there and welcoming us like old friends. We appreciate you so much!!

Great place for dine in and take-out. A few times, we've stopped in and ordered to go and enjoy talking with the people there. Options on the menu for gluten-free. Be sure to ask for it gluten-free, or it will be made traditional style containing gluten (this was recommended by one of the ladies I was speaking with - so I wanted to share this tip) I really enjoy the garlic beef.

You've got to try Crosby's! Great food, fun atmosphere, super service! We heard that they were doing a soft opening this week, so my wife and I went there on opening night. She had the steak, which was amazing! I had the crab-stuffed walleye, which also was excellent. We also tried the crab cakes appetizer (which was very nicely done), and the brie appetizer too (very tasty - and even worked for my gluten-free wife, since she asked for tomato slices with it instead of bread, which she really liked). The cocktails were fun too - we tried a few (the French 75 was amazing). Dessert cheesecake was a very good way to top it off. Overall, a great new addition to the CR downtown dining scene - highly recommended!

Cedar Rapids— great food, great atmosphere, great service, damn good Bloody Mary no frills just good. Hard to beat the price point! Wish we could have stayed for the band. Lots of gluten free options too. Can’t wait to try the Sunday Brunch….went back for the buffet, give the buffet a stand alone 5-stars. Been there several times now, each time a different server - each server 10 stars!

We enjoyed an excellent, unique dinner here last night and can't wait to go back. They have something for everyone, gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, etc. The vegan pate board they featured for vegan week was amazing. I will be thinking about that for a long time! Daniel and Armina do a great job and really care about their guest's experience. Highly recommend when you're tired of the usual Iowa menus served at other places. Cocktails looked fantastic but we had a delicious Tempranillo. This is a restaurant that deserves support from the community because it adds a different and delicious dining experience.

This restaurant is the bomb! The food here is great and cook to order, my mom has a gluten intolerance but the bread here doesn't make it act up! Everything feels like they make it from scratch. The pancakes are the best. The only tidbit is the flies around the restaurant and they charge extra if you use card. The people really feel like they care and make sure you're satisfied. Excellent food for American and breakfast. Soul food for real!
