I met a friend here one evening for dinner because, she recommended it. She was spot on with how awesome it was! It's such a cool place with unique decor and a beautiful patio. The ambiance was fantastic. Staff was very friendly and attentive. All I ordered was the Caprese salad, but it was delicious. Wish they had another one in Des Moines. Without a doubt it would be one of the finest places here. Until then, I'll be taking the drive from Des Moines to Fairfield to go back here again...numerous times.

Coming to visit family in Fairfield, I had heard of a newer cider brewery and restaurant that…read moreserved great food and cool cider flavors. That was underselling it - this cider house is awesome! I love that there are so many different fruit flavors in their ciders. My personal favorites were the watermelon and apricot. There is also a great selection of burgers all the way from your classic cheeseburger down to a no-meat burger, each with its own unique toppings. I got the 'Merica Burger and didn't even have time to take a picture because I just scarfed it down. They have a great selection of sides too - chips, slaw, potato salad, or a glass of your favorite cider! We will definitely be coming back to the Cider House every time we are back in town. Great food and great drinks!

This BK saved my butt one morning. I wanted my standard protein breakfast - scrambled eggs - and…read morewent to THREE SEPARATE RESTAURANTS in Fairfield to seek that out.

Not so much when the fries are brown and taste like salted tree branches. I also bought the maple bacon whopper. Could be good if it wasn't Luke warm. I've had hotter food at Casey's. At least there shitty gas station burgers are hot. Also my son who likes the chicken nuggets thought this batch was hollow and disgusting. It's clearly this Burger King no longer gives a shit. Our meal cost over 28 dollars. I will not be wasting my money on this slop again

I ordered a bacon pizza, half with pineapple to go. The quality was just very subpar. The bacon was funky tasting. The cheese tasted kind of gross. The crust was bland and not good. Also it was cut in tiny squares and by the time I got home the pieces just didn't come apart and was a mess to eat. Not worth the price. I would choose Mia pizza over them.

It was REAL steak, and may heave been the best I've ever had. My wife's burger was also great, and had lots of shrooms. Fries (and sandwiches) were all hot and fresh.
