Expensive options as well as more affordable options. I wasn't impressed with the smoked old fashion but the Duroc Pork Chop meal was so delicious that I highly recommend this cool spot. read more

I leave few reviews but our experience here was so under par it had to be shared. We were there with a party of 4.. we waited at least 15 minutes to order our drinks. I ordered a Hugo Spritz and was told after another 10 minutes that they didn't have the ingredients to make one. I then asked for a lemon drop and was told it wasn't on the menu so they couldn't do that either. Ended up just getting a house wine. For dinner I got a wedge salad. The bacon tastes like Hormel bacon bits and the blue cheese dressing was horrible. It tasted like plain mayonnaise. I couldn't eat it. Our waitress was flustered most of the night. Never checked on us once and didn't even notice I only tool 2 bites of my salad. We will not be going back. read more

Mind blowing experience! Food was epic! Service was first class! Can't say enough great things about this place! You should experience it yourself... Thank you for the masterpiece in food explosion read more

Three of us stopped in before a concert at McGrath Amphitheater, which is about a mile away. We parked in a large federal building parking lot that lies between the two, so it was convenient for both. We snagged a hightop table in the bar area and got in our drink orders. I ordered a Margarita. It was excellent! Great taste and nice presentation. My wife gota a glass of wine from their decent wine list, and my brother got a very reasonably priced 7-7. Drinks were great and our food came out quickly. I got the Montreal Beef Sandwich. Tasty brisket with a great combination of flavors. Fries were good. My wife got the Salmon BLT, which was also very good, with great bacon and a nice slab of fish. She got the upcharged Brussels Sprouts for her side and they were also tasty. My brother got the Arnold Palmer Chicken Sandwich, a tea-soaked sandwich that he enjoyed. He got the house chips, and they were also good. Service was attentive, and both servers who hit up our table were great. Fun vibe, and what looks to be and up-and-coming neighborhood. read more

I was excited to try out Crosby's for a Sunday brunch. I ordered the Coffee Cured Salmon Benedict. My friends ordered the Classic Benedict, Coffee Cured Lox Bagel, and the Chicken Duo with Bacon and Apple. The salmon was good on my egg Benedict, but the hollandaise sauce was clumpy and it was overall underwhelming. The bite I had of my friend's lox bagel tasted pretty good. I ordered the Chocolate Chip Banana Brioche Bread Pudding for dessert and my friend order the beignets. I thought the chocolate chip and chocolate sauce overpowered the bread pudding. I would have preferred less chocolate sauce and more cream sauce to balance out the chocolate chips. However, if you are a chocolate lover and you can enjoy it with a large glass of milk it may be right up your alley. The beignet were disappointing compared to those in New Orleans. The beignet's exterior was harder than normal and they weren't as fluffy. The service was overall good, however I wish the waitress would have asked if I would like a refill, versus me flagging her down 10 minutes after my glass was empty especially since the soda/tea glasses are about half the size of other restaurants. read more

Had a wonderful lunch there today. Loved the pear and Gouda grilled cheese and house salad with honey pear vinaigrette dressing!

We took our niece out and she picked this place. It was a good choice. We were asked if we wanted to eat inside or outside. I think the only outside tables were out front and totally in the sun. Glad we ate inside. I'm not sure what the decorating vibe is. The carpet was a giraffe print and the wallpaper looked like the Matrix. There were some vintage looking French prints on the wall. Regardless, the service and food was good. We tried the cheese curds (kind of pedestrian), the Brussels sprouts (huge and delicious), the smashburgers (doubles and stacked high), the waffle fries (perfectly fried), and a salad. Let me tell you about that salad. It had sliced strawberries, picked shaved rhubarb, dried apricots cherry tomatoes and burrata on top of a lettuce mix. Luckily, our server questioned whether or not the dressing had been tossed with the salad (new person in the kitchen, she said) so she brought me the strawberry vinaigrette on the side. (She was correct, there was no dressing.) Totally appreciated that attention to detail. Best salad I've had in a while! I would go back! read more

I've eaten here twice in the last week. 10 out 10! The first time we stopped in before going to the ballet. It was early, so the place wasn't that busy. Our waitress/bartender was great. She told us that their drink special was an apple pie mimosa, so we decided to share one. She brought it two smaller glasses for us. We talked about what we were thinking about getting, including dessert. Decided we'd like dessert instead of an appetizer. Choose the dessert that could be gluten free. Ordered our food, the pear Gouda grilled cheese and the bacon and pickle grilled cheese. Delicious! We got the waffle fries and sautéed mushrooms as our sides. I'm not a mushroom fan, but I tried a small one and it was delicious. The lemon bacon jam aioli that came with my sandwich was superb. Perfect dip for the waffle fries. Now the best part, the chef came out to ask us what time we need to leave. He had been ease dropping. While we were eating he made a batch of gluten free gingersnaps, for my mom, to go with the spiced butternut squash and candied ginger ice cream we ordered for dessert. They needed to cool a bit more. Never in a million years would I have thought that I would really truly enjoy butternut squash ice cream. It was fantastic! and paired with the gingersnap was even better. Took the family back tonight and was not disappointed. Burgers were delicious and the chicken sandwich was very tasty. We got an appetizer instead of dessert. The cheese curds were wonderful. Service was fantastic. We will definitely be going back. read more

This cute little restaurant is located in the Newbo area. When had brunch and all 4 of us loved our selections. I had the biscuits and gravy with eggs scrambled very, very dry and hash browns and all of it was perfectly cooked and so tasty. My partner had the Philly steak omelet and he loved it. C The service was perfect and the seating was comfortable. Parking there is a small lot in the back and ample street parking. If you are in Cedar Rapids I would definitely give it a try because it is really good! read more

After having lunch with a few friends on Crosby's patio today, I will definitely return. The service and food were excellent. I tried the Pear and Gouda Grilled Cheese and found it to be perfectly crisp and savory. The side of blueberry-horseradish dipping sauce brought a slight acidity to the plate and was a nice compliment to the dish. Thank you, Crosby's, for a delicious meal! read more

A colleague and I tried Crosby's on a recent business trip to Cedar Rapids and enjoyed our experience. It's ambience is of a slightly upscale bar and grill, think those big name chains with commercials. There's a nice bar area divided fromthe dining room by a half wall. The dining room probably seats 50 to 60. Their menu is new American, but with some twists there, BLT has pickles and the chicken sandwich has been brined in sweet tea. They also have some unusual salad dressings such as strawberry vanilla vinaigrette. I opted for the summer cob salad and added chicken. The price for the salad is a little on the high side , but it was a large portion that I couldn't finish. I didn't take a look at the drink menu, but I did enjoy iced tea, which comes with several flavor options. Service was solid. Our server took care of us, offered suggestions on the menu and was very attentive. Also, when we lingered at the end of the meal, she didn't rush us out, but made sure we had what we needed. read more

Crosby's food was disappointing, just fair. Nice service though. I won't be returning. Minimal ambiance as well.

Friendly staff, great waitress, nice ambience but I was not impressed with the food. My steak was perfectly cooked in the center (medium) but too well on the outside. The Queen 75 was quite tasty. read more

Atmosphere: Relaxing, Jazz, Blues, soft rock, No touch tunes so you do t have to listens to some other degenerates playlist. Music was at a good conversational volume. Food: Biscuits and gravy with hash browns and eggs. Biscuits and Gravy were made home made. Fresh and Excellent! Food was well presented on plate deserved a gold star alone. The portions were comparably good to surrounding competitors. Service: Was excellent. Waitresses were in a good disposition and seemed to enjoy their job. She took pride in having fresh food made in house, and were excited to let me know it was not off a truck. read more

Good service, wide variety of dishes on menu. Love that they have several cocktail "flights", aka samplers that give you option to pick 3 out of 6 flavors. I ordered the mimosa one & shared it with my girlfriends! I'll be back! read more

Came in for a late lunch. Had Jamika as our server. She was the best she took a custom drink order from me and nailed it. The food was good. The service was good. Love it. Only things were I wish the kicken chicken sandwich was fried not grilled. And the lava cake came with ice cream. But will return none the less read more

We wanted to try a new restaurant for restaurant week, and the champagne risotto salmon caught my eye. Well, it was amazing! I'm just sad this is a short time special. Hopefully, they add it to the regular menu! My boyfriend ordered the blackened salmon, and we split the cajun shrimp app. They were both tasty as well. I love that they have a lot of seafood and vegetarian options. It's perfect for Lent. I'm glad restaurant week introduced me to this place. It's a great atmosphere and reasonable prices. read more

I would definitely recommend you to enjoy a nice relaxing meal at Crosby's. Our waitress was very professional and friendly.

My husband and I were on vacation for the weekend in Cedar Rapids, and had some time before our Sunday flight. So we took advice from Yelp and went to Crosby's for brunch. We were seated immediately at 11:00 a.m. at a high top table in the bar area. The chairs were hard to sit in. Kind of kept sliding out. I have the stuffed french toast which was delicious, with some sausage on the side which was also great. Husband had a BLT which was made with spicy jalapeno aioli instead of mayonnaise, to his surprise. The food was fine he said. For the most popular brunch place in a small town, we did pretty well to get in and out within an hour, and the service was pretty good, though my water could have been refilled a little sooner. I would come back for lunch or brunch or dinner! read more

It have been to this place twice now once for dinner and again for breakfast. I enjoyed both meals as did the company I was with. There is a good variety of choices for both meals and a good selection of drinks to choose from including mimosa flights for the brunch. The regular eggs Benedict was good, no complaints but I have had better, it think the hollandaise sauce that was not very lemony. The bloody Mary's were going, not too spicy. There was only one server for breakfast but as it rolled around to noon a second staff member showed up. The kitchen did have a mixup on a couple of the breakfast Chimmi's that we ordered but the correction was handled quickly and to everyone's satisfaction. A very nice place to relax and visit with friends. Well worth a visit! read more

I have eaten here at least once a week since I moved to Cedar Rapids. I have only gotten food to go but it has been excellent every time. I highly recommend the Pork Belly bites with the date spread as an appetizer. The bartenders are very friendly and it looks like it would be a good place to hang out. read more

One of the worst restaurant experiences while on vacation with my family the items that we try to order off the menu they ran out of avocado, toast, and sausage and the course it didn't tell us that they ran out of avocado into after we placed our order so my family didn't have a choice, but to change their item because they didn't have product to fulfill their menu and also I need to speak to a manager. They said there was no manager on duty. Staff proceeded to tell me that they will take my phone number and name and the manager will give me a call that day. It's now the next day. Still not having received a phone call from the manager very disappointed. read more

The service was friendly. The food fantastic. Unique menu options that are delectable. I highly recommend.

I tried out Crosby's on a Tuesday night during spring break, and I had the establishment practically to myself. I said at the bar and had a great conversation with Jacob the bartender. Given the late time on a weekday, that one other person came in and gave me a great opportunity to connect with Jacob and learn more about the state of Iowa. He was very personable, and a great person. Really highlighted the experience here for myself. As for the food, I went with the Stuffed Walleye. I had never tried walleye before, so I was pretty excited to try it out. It was a pretty fair piece of fish and tasted great. Even better than the fish was the mac & cheese. So creamy and cheesy, the perfect consistency. I decided on this place, because of the 4.5 rating, but now I'm not sure how it's not even higher. Great experience here! read more

I went here for the first time with my friend for Restaurant Week. It's a classy place and the prices reflect that, but everyone is super nice, and the food is really great. They have happy hour and a full bar with a list of cocktails. The burrata appetizer is like a fancier version of bruschetta, and our entrees were delicious. Great service, and well worth the trip. read more

Crosby's is located near downtown Grand Rapids Iowa. We went there for breakfast. The food was as very good and the service was outstanding. I had the biscuits and gravy with two eggs over easy. The coffee was also very good. The restaurant has a very welcoming feeling. They have both hightop and normal seating. I would recommend eating at this restaurant. read more

Since I like to try new places, this was on my list. The venue is nice, not real big, but plenty of space and comfortably decorated. I has called for reservations and the host on the phone was very friendly and accommodating and was the sane when we walked in the door. Our waiter was also super friendly and helpful even though he had quite a few tables to attend to. We started with drinks and appetizers. While the old-fashion I has one not on my top 10 list, it was still good. The baked brie was amazing. Served with toast that was made from a heartier bread, sliced granny Smith apples, and a caramelized onion marmalade. I'm not usually a big fan of onions, but these were a perfect compliment to the dish and I actually really liked them. We also had the crab cakes which were made with lump crab meat and you could actually tell there was crab in there and not just fillers to make the cake. They came with a delicious sauce that we got more of because it was so good. I got the prosciutto melt. It was very good with the added tomato on it giving it a great balance of savory and sweet/acidic. I got the rice pilaf as a side. It was ok, but not anything special. Others in my party got a burger which they said was good, and thevfish and chops special which had a very nice sized and good quality piece of fish. The only real suggestion we had was that when the burger came there was no type of dip included, but the waiter happily got somecranch for them. We shared a piece of margarita cheese cake which was good, but basically just cheesecake with strawberries on type and a slice of lime on the side. I had hoped for a little more flavor in the cheesecake itself, but it was good. Definitely going back to explore the menu more! read more

First time checking out Crosby's and came for brunch. There are not a lot of places that i truly have a hard time picking what I want off the menu. So many great options! I had the biscuits and gravy and my friend had the mixed eggs Benedict. I really enjoyed the biscuits and gravy - good seasoning and big pieces of sausage. My only complaint is that the biscuits were a little tough. I think they might have been baked a touch too long. My friend said the eggs Benedict were great. Grab yourself a mimosa, enjoy the excellent service, and head to Crosby's for brunch! read more

The last time I was at the establishment, the pasta was way undercooked. This time it was way overcooked and gummy. The service was subpar. And unfortunately we will not be coming back to this place. We wondered why it was the only restaurant in town that didn't have a wait. read more

Wow! This new chef should be nominated for a James Beard award! Michelin star quality food where you least expect it! The burrata appetizer set the stage for a spectacular meal to come with the suprise addition of pistachio nuts. The Brussel sprouts were the best we have ever had and we order them everywhere. The hoisin mustard glaze was the perfect blend of sweet yet with a little extra touch of flavor. They were cooked perfectly with a crispy outside and a tender inside. Just when we thought it couldn't get any better the chicken pot pie arrived. Please don't let the name fool you. Shredded chicken with peas and carrots all combined in a rich havarti cheese sauce with fresh herbs and presented in a thin pastry crust. This dish really needs a more fitting name because too many people will overlook how incredibly flavorful and unique it is. My wife and I both had rye old fashioneds to start our evening and they were spot on. Our server was very informative, friendly, and efficient. Don't let the casual atmosphere trick you into thinking this place is about bar food! We hope to have the opportunity to savor more of their creations if our travels bring us back to Cedar Rapids. read more

Let me start by saying I am from out of town, specifically from a foodie city. Cedar Rapids does not seem to be the place for good food. We came in for an early dinner and the place was empty. Great. It was also very dirty. There were a lot of people working but no one cleaning. Dirty tables, dirty chairs, dirty booths. When they finally did clean, the rags they were using were filthy. Cocktails, not good. Couldn't even finish the two I ordered. Food was pretty decent. Not exceptional. Service is what you were except from a sports bar. read more

The bacon and pickle grilled cheese is the best sandwich I have ever had in my life. That alone is worth 5 stars.

We got our appetizer before we got our drinks. Big oof. Another group of the same size came in after us, got their drinks before us and their food before us. It's unfortunate cause the food wasn't too bad. It seemed our server was the issue. She never asked what side I wanted and didn't take away anything until after we finished eating, and I mean anything! I put our menus on a separate table after we ordered, confused the heck out of another server! The appetizer plates stayed on the table until we finished the rest of our food. We were never asked about refills on drinks, though we did get water replenished with some consistency. We decided not to order a desert given the delay in food and drinks arriving. For additional context, one drink was a beer on tap and the other just a can of root beer and glass of ice. There didn't seem to be any reason for it to take 10-15 minutes for us to get these drinks. Really sad. I don't like writing reviews like this but it really upset me given the place was hardly filled with people. It did fill up of course but not till 30 minutes later, which was about when we got our order taken (that was a joke, but not entirely false either) If you want to take a chance and got the time, you may have a more enjoyable experience. read more

Three of us went to Crosby's for restaurant week. I had the champagne risotto salmon special and shared the pear tart. It was so delicious. Matt was going to get the chicken pot pie which was part of the restaurant week special too but they were out. It must have been a very popular dish. He ended up ordering the Bahn Mi sandwich. My son had the Nashville Mac. He eat it all. The side salad were tasty and a good size. The restaurant was busy but they are very attentive to all the customers. read more
