    3.5 stars. We came to NewBo to give everyone in our group the opportunity to peruse the different…read morefood kiosks and choose something that each of us wanted. My son spotted the pork tenderloin sandwich, and that clinched the deal for us. Since moving away from Iowa, this is something that is sorely missed. It was a pretty quiet weekday lunch hour when we stopped by. There was only one other customer in front of us, and the friendly gentleman behind the counter took our order and told us that it would be about 8 minutes for our order to be ready. In addition to the tenderloin, we ordered the brisket sammich and some onion rings. We were going to eat well that day. Unfortunately, things seemed to get away from him just a little bit. The people before us had also ordered two tenderloins, but for reasons unclear he only prepared their order instead of breading and frying all three of ours at once. Then some guy from DoorDash or GrubHub showed up to pick up an order, and then he had to stop everything and focus on that pickup. When he returned to the people waiting, the couple in front of us was starting to get a little impatient. He finally took care of them, and turned his attention to ours. Our tenderloin was breaded and put into the fryer. He gave it us, but we had to remind him that we had also ordered the brisket and onion rings, the latter of which he had not put into the fryer. Several minutes later our order was ready, but at this point it was over 20 minutes later. Having said all that, the food was quite good. The brisket was served in thick cuts and was tender and juicy. The tenderloin was also very good, with a nice crispy texture that didn't get soggy. It was served in a basket, and I felt that it would have been better on a plate because the tenderloin is so large that it's hard to get your hands around it when it fills up the entire basket. The onion rings were disappointing, though. I was expecting much more hearty, thick rings, but they were small and somewhat uninspired. Overall, this was a fine meal with just some logistical snags that certainly can be improved upon.

    Probably my favorite barbecue sauce in the whole city. The beef brisket was excellent, it had the…read moreright amount of fatty grizzle for good flavor. The pulled pork was good tasting and was served on a quality bun,however it seemed soggy from sitting in the steam table. Don't get me wrong it was still delicious. The cornbread is amazing.

    Naomi's "Take it & Bake it" meals made life so much easier for us. We ordered multiple times when…read moreour son was young, and I was juggling night classes. Most meals needed to be refrigerated for 24 hours before cooking. They offer a variety of options to suit your needs (2-serving, 3-serving, 6-serving sizes and a gluten-free choice). Each month, there's a new selection of around 15 meals. You can mix and match however you'd like--selecting different meals or multiple portions of your favorites. Pickup locations are available in North Liberty and Kathy's Pies in Cedar Rapids. Every meal arrives frozen with cooking instructions. We rarely have leftovers, but it's still more cost-effective than dining out. I appreciate that there's no subscription requirement, though you do need to order a few weeks in advance since spots fill up quickly. My husband likes to add extra seasoning to some meals for a bit more heat. I wish they offered a wider selection of non-dairy meals for those who are lactose intolerant. This is an excellent option for busy families, new parents, elderly individuals, those recovering from illness or surgery, or anyone wanting to supplement/change up their meal routine. It also makes a great gift for new parents.

We decided to try Naomi's Kitchen to help us along on the rougher days where we just can't get around to making a fresh meal. Naomi's Kitchen has been so much better for us than eating out and always feels and tastes like a home cooked meal. It also gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing that I always have options for a great meal!
