    Combination plate.

    Good food, and service and the prices are great. This is a real friendly place to go for lunch or dinner.

    Chips and queso/salsa

    Food and servers are amazing!! Love it here! Been here so many times I can't get enough of it. Karaoke and the managers are so welcoming!

    Carne asada
    Kim M.

    Really wanted to love this place, know the owners care and work hard, and they've been beaten up pretty hard in a local food review group (full disclosure: one that i manage) for things that are old news (no longer relevant). The food was great. Theyve really upped their game on outside decor, portion size, price and taste. So unfortunate then that the service was so poor. Did speak with manager who was appropriately sympathetic and adjusted the bill. Trouble is, i want a great experience at full price!

    Taco Salad Lunch
    Dawn M.

    This has became our go to Mexican, at work. Doordash screws up 3-4 times we order, but the restaurant always makes it right. Multiple orders- typically 5-6, and everyone is happy. The The queso is truly phenomenal, and I'm not a quest lover. I tend to go with the chicken taco salad which always has an abundance of chicken. One of our new favorite dishes is the seafood enchiladas, surprisingly flavorful. Someone always orders the street tacos and salsa that goes with them should be jarred. Why not 5 stars? I haven't been to the restaurant or inside and I think that holds some value. ‍

    The Hawkeyes Burrito  Compared to jumbo drink for reference

    I honestly loved the decor and the service was great. They have a nice little patio that was pretty full. The building is a bit hidden behind other businesses but you don't want to miss out. You do get complimentary chips and salsa that were pretty good! Then my husband and I both got the Hawkeye burrito and... GIANT. Just absolutely huge. So delicious though and will definitely get again. Who doesn't love two meals for the price of one!

    The fajitas for 2 were enough for 4! Huge portion. Really great flavor. We were very pleased.

    The service was great, food was amazing. Huge portions on the fajitas. We ordered fajitas for 2 and it was more like fajitas for 4! Really great flavor. Manager was extremely nice. Checked on us and thanked us for coming in to eat. $54 for us and 2 kiddos. Will definitely go back.

    The Panther Burrito!!!

    Not impressed. Food was okay, but not great. Service was less than optimal considering they weren't that busy. Probably won't visit again.

    Fantastic beer selection. Excellent food. Reasonable prices. Single speed checks all the boxes!…read more I've stopped at Single Speed several times when passing through, and always enjoyed the experience. The flatbread is huge--at least two meals' worth--as are the salads. Beer's available in full pours, half pours, and flights, so it's easy to sample a few in one sitting. And don't miss the specials--especially inventive soups. There's plenty of seating options, too--a nice patio, bar stools, and a couple rooms full of tables and booths. Cheers!

    This property is enormous, and I imagine it would be a really great place for a family reunion or…read moregathering! There is ample space inside and out, and it's all very open and clean, though the inside dining areas are separated into large rooms, which I think would help with noise control when it's busy. We visited around 7:45 on a Friday evening in August and found it remarkably not crowded, but they have another location in Cedar Falls that probably draws a larger crowd. We were at the Waterloo location, which probably caters to a lot of business people and business travelers during the week. We ordered a lot of food for two people, and it was all excellent, but I rate this cool place four stars because all the food came out of the kitchen at once and we were totally overwhelmed. If it had been paced, I think we could have pulled it off, and as travelers, we couldn't really take leftovers with us to have another day. Our server was extremely helpful and patient helping me understand their beverage selections. I enjoy a good cocktail or a glass of good wine, but my beer tastes are even more limited, but SingleSpeed offered up the perfect solution: the SingleSpeed-a-rita. This is made with their Ring Around the Gose, tequila, agave, and lime juice. That hit the spot on a hot Friday night in Iowa!

    Applebee's at 2780 Crossroads Blvd, Waterloo, IA 50702 delivered a true 5 star plus experience and…read morereminded me why simple comfort food, done right, still wins. I ordered the 6 ounce sirloin and it came out looking like it actually mattered to somebody in the kitchen. The steak was cooked just right, juicy, and full of that clean, grilled flavor that hits you on the first bite. Not over salted, not drowned in sauce, just a solid, well seasoned sirloin with a nice sear that gave it that little edge of char you want. For a 6 ounce portion, it felt generous because it was thick, tender, and did not taste like it had been sitting under a heat lamp. The sides were the real surprise in the best way. The broccoli was bright green, fresh, and cooked to that perfect point where it is still crisp but not raw. It tasted clean and lightly seasoned, like it was meant to balance the plate instead of being an afterthought. The mac and cheese was straight comfort. Creamy, rich, and smooth, with that warm cheesy bite that makes you slow down and enjoy it. The portion was more than enough, and it held its texture instead of turning into a greasy mess. Then there was the salad, which honestly tied the whole meal together. Fresh greens, crisp toppings, and everything tasted like it had just been prepped. Nothing wilted, nothing soggy. It added that cool, clean crunch that made the plate feel complete. Overall, the flavor, freshness, and portions were outstanding. This meal felt filling without feeling heavy, and every part of the plate tasted like it was made with care. If you are in Waterloo and you want a reliable, satisfying meal that tastes better than you expect, this Applebee's absolutely earns a strong recommendation.

    Service was alright but I'll get to that in a minute. We were sat in a booth, love that. Our server…read morewas great!! I ordered the garlic sirloin skillet and it looked and smelled amazing when it was brought out but there was just one issue: I ordered RARE and received medium well... 5-6 minutes later a woman who I assume to be a manager of some sort brought me another steak (with no garlic topping on it) and again, medium at best. When I told her it still was over cooked she looked at me like she was waiting for me to just accept it.. so I did and said "ya know what, it's fine I'll eat it." SPOILER ALERT: I didn't lol. She discounted our meal about $10, which yea okay fine but I still wanted my food to my liking and never got it. I still tipped the server because it wasn't her fault that her manager needs to practice customer service and the kitchen needs to learn how to cook a steak. ALSO my boyfriends chicken was dry (he wanted me to add that)
