We've been to Sunset Lounge a few times now. This place has excellent burgers. They are smash-style, fully loaded and served on a platter. Delicious! This place is an adults only establishment - meaning no children allowed. Think of it as a bar that serves food, not a restaurant that serves liquor. Leave the kids at home. They have a few televisions and a small patio out front when the weather is nice. You can sit at the bar or one of the high tables. You get table service. All in all, a nice place to grad a bite! read more

We stopped in on a beautiful Tuesday night. The patio was mostly full but we found one free table and took a seat. The waitress was there quickly to take our drink orders and gave us menus. We were initially curious how loud the street would be but were pleasantly surprised it wasn't loud. There was music playing at a good volume too. I could not decide what I wanted to order so I asked the waitress to choose for me. She thought that was a fun option and said she'd definitely go with the Sunset Smash and Fries. The only change I made was no pickles. My friend wanted as many pickles as they'd give her so we got mine on the side for her to have. Wow, was that Sunset Smash burger and fries good! The burger was juicy, tender, flavorful, honestly just delicious! The fries were thick with just the right amount of crisp and salt. Our waitress continued to appropriately check in on us as we ate and chatted. The only thing I'd love to be different is for our kids to be able to come. It's minors only and I know we'd all love the food there. Definitely coming back! read more

Sunset Lounge - Sunset Smash and Fries - Burgers Near Me - Norwalk, Iowa

There is a new place in Norwalk serving up good smash burgers. The "Sunset Smash" was highly recommended by Only on Tuesdays -- Travis -- the Bartender -- who not only sets the customer friendly tone for catering to the neighborhood clientele, but offered interesting trivia facts about the menu and establishment that was a bonus for your foodie experience while enjoying the delicious burger and mouth watering house salad with a tasty house dressing. The seating was either high top chairs or the bar stools in an upscale cozy environment that offered a quiet conversational atmosphere for you to relax and enjoy the ambiance. read more

My new favorite place in Norwalk. Stopped in twice and the food was delicious. 21+ environment was a great surprise but the food was the primary draw to return and eat again and again. Sitting outside is delightful. Service was good even when super busy. read more

Amazing food, service and music! The sunset smash was DEE-licious as were the thick cut steak fries and macaroni salad just like Grandma used to make! What's not to like?!......oh and no kids allowed, even better! read more

Seems nicely busy for a Wed night. The smash burgers look amazing! Bartender is very professional and friendly. This is your typical neighborhood bar with good food. I like the fact that you can scan a QR code on the bill and pay anyway you want off your phone. Unique. Bathrooms are coed but appeared very clean. Parking was decent on a Wed but I can see it getting congested on a busy weekend. All in all "dive bar" ambiance, good looking food, decent drink menu (though I would like more draft options) and friendly crowd. This is not a kid friendly place. 21 or over only. Very conveniently located. read more

Bad service, terrible parking, messed up my order, however price was ok, food decent wouldnt go again

My husband and I tried out Sunset Lounge this evening and I absolutely loved it! The food came out very quickly yet tasted extremely fresh, the drinks were made promptly and the atmosphere was very laid back. It reminds you of an upscale sports bar. The food for this type of bar/restaurant was phenomenal! We will definitely be back! read more

I have had decent food here. I came in to get a drink, I ordered a white Russian, ($10) after 5 minutes they didn't have cream, but offered to make it with something else same charge. I declined. Then I saw the bartender chug it. (male) I then ordered a Old Fashioned. ($13) They made it with a decent bourbon, but asked if I wanted the large ice cube... Cause that's a upcharge. WTF. I ordered a cocktail and not a mixed drink. Buyer beware. read more

Sunset Lounge - Crushed ice old fashioned. Normal cherry. - Burgers Near Me - Norwalk, Iowa

Had the smash burger. Good but nothing to journey to norwalk. Although the french fries were thick cut steak fries!!!!!! They were outstanding. Ordered wings to start and they were again good but not a destination. Unfortunately i asked to have the wings first and they both came at same time. So i had to alternate eating burger, wing, fry, burger, wing, wing!!!!!' It was a little annoying but overall a good meal. Atmosphere was nice. Clean and traffic was slow so sitting at bar the bartender was good. My drinks were coming and my water was never empty If u are close to Norwalk or golfing at Echo Valley country club stop in! read more

I recently visited for an early dinner on Thursday around 4:45 PM and was pleased to find the venue relatively quiet, a rarity given its usual popularity. The service was good, and the burgers, fries, ranch, cheese curds, and Espresso Martinis were delicious. It's important to note that this establishment maintains a 21-and-over policy and only provides high-top or bar seating. The addition of outdoor seating will be a welcome enhancement as temperatures rise. I've been there 3 times now and the service and food have consistently been great! It's a welcome alternative in Norwalk. I highly recommend it if you can get a seat. It's worth the wait! read more

Sunset Lounge - $15 Sunset smash: 2 smash patties, American cheese. lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, sunset sauce. Comes with fries or potato salad. - A partially eaten burger with a toasted bun, lettuce, tomato, melted cheese, and beef patty, held by a person's hand. - Burgers Near Me - Norwalk, Iowa

First visit: I was very impressed with this new place. The menu is limited but what they do with what they have listed is very good. I ordered the grinder with fries. I was blown away by the fries. So much so I told the friendly bartender they were the best I have ever had. The grinder was well prepared, not skimpy and served on a hoagie roll. Ambiance is stylish with assorted televisions and some memorabilia. Prices are reasonable. read more

Hands down the best burgers I've ever had. I was only expecting just a basic bar with bar food, but I quickly figured out this isn't your regular bar. The head chef is a classically trained gourmet chef turned restaurant owner. I've been back 5 times since, trying something new each time. Everything on the menu is phenomenal. Also, their fried pickles are to die for. read more

Food is great, but they have no options to call-in for takeout, nor are they available on any delivery service. If you want to dine in then you'll have a great experience, but it's not carry-out friendly, which is almost a deal-breaker for me. read more

Smash burgers are awesome! I get the potato salad and my wife gets fries, both are really good.
