    Amish pretzel!
    Michael R.

    Food is great here, loved the wings, Amish pretzel is very different excellent mustard and beer cheese. Nachos were great. Bar tender was very attentive and a great server. The place is really unique old wonder bread factory left lots of cool things for the the bakery.

    Biscuits and gravy on the brunch menu
    Kirk J.

    The food here is good, and it is a huge location so you can sit at a communal table or a separate high top. Girlfriend had the Nashville hot fries. She had had them before and they were great, and a TON of food. I had the biscuits and gravy and the gravy had just enough spice and flavor to it to make it interesting. Biscuits were thick and tasty as well. Not a huge portion, but enough. The bacon was pretty average though. Not thick cut or anything. The beers here are the real story though. All their beers are great! If you're in Waterloo, it is definitely worth checking out.

    Big tenderloin!
    Mary P.

    Another bike ride & another tasty stop! We shared nachos & they were really loaded! You needed more chips! Friend's tenderloin was good but very big! He only ate 1/2. Others Unami burger was just a standard burger with good fries. The charcuterie board was pretty & flavorful. A salad was huge! Everyone enjoyed their beers. I was disappointed no kombucha on tap--just cans. Ordering on line is annoying & a bit confusing. We had a group of 16 & some folks paid for others and some double ordered by accident. Fortunately they quickly corrected everything! The place is bright, light & welcoming. The wait staff was pleasant. You'll enjoy this brewery--a pleasant stop!

    Gnarly nachos
    Kim M.

    Gnarly nachos, normally comes with candied jalapeños (which are awesome), but i subbed for fresh. Really really good huge portion, definitely enough for two for a meal, or more than that for an appetizer. Ditto in terms of portion size for the bahn mi fries--they are incredible. So fresh and so much flavor. Beer is always great. We had whirled wide haze (ipa), which we like. Sit and order at the bar if you don't like Q-code ordering (and the bartenders are awesome).

    Deconstructed Michelada board (Meat, Cheese, Nuts, and Pickles)
    Sherwin C.

    Just as serious about their food as they are with their drinks, this restaurant was a pleasant surprise for brunch. One of the things that definitely makes this easy to go to as a group is the way that you can collaborate on the meal as a table and even split payment all through their website. This also helps to avoid any confusion and surprises as all the people at the table are able to verify the order. The food here was great from start to finish, definitely arranged well for social media posts with good plating and lots of colors. The flavors were also good, as the design of each dish was pretty obvious and the main ingredient really shined and was supported by the other elements of the dish. In particular, the board with the deconstructed michelada had a lot of interesting contrasts and bold flavors with each option. The mustard and pickles helped to cut through the fattiness of the pork on the cubano flatbread. The lightly toasted bread gave a nice contrast to the tenderness of the pulled pork. The fluffiness of the buttermilk biscuits really provided a nice and airy base for the creamy gravy where the sage provided a nice elevated flavor. Overall, great flavors, great textures, and great service make this my top priority for visiting again next time I'm in the area.

    This place is great. Awesome interior brewery. A+ patio. The beer flights are tasty and a great way to try their different brews: from light to dark beers, including hazy IPAs. One of the best pork tenderloin sandwiches I've had. A must try. Friendly staff as well.

    Nachos and cauliflower. Both were delicious!

    Service was great and so was the food. We had the nachos and the cauliflower. The Bloody Mary and the tip the cow mint were also really good. It's nice that they serve liquor/cocktails as well.

    Eye of the Thai-ger

    We are fairly regular customers at Singlespeed and always enjoy the food, but today was A++. Everything was cooked to perfection, and those Bahn Mi fries may be the best food item I've ever had at Singlespeed. Well done!!

    Fish & Chips!
    Alexandra O.

    Great atmosphere, delicious food, awesome Iowa beer. We were looking for a nice spot for lunch before an afternoon of theatre at UNI and we were not disappointed. This was my husband and I's first outing without our daughter since before she was born and it was so nice to have a meal together in such a fun environment! It almost made me feel like we were on vacation... the way they repurposed this old building is really impressive! We shared the nachos and the fish & chips, both of which were delicious. I could tell the fish was friend fresh by its satisfying crunch. We also had a few varieties of beers and they were all great. I highly recommend this brewery. It is not just about the beer here.

    The kitchen sink cookies and vanilla ice cream.  So good

    See all
