Good place to hang out and eat some American food! Decent burgers and love the pickle chips! Perfectly fried! The wings were a lil salty for my taste and had to eat them with a side of their garlic dip which I love! Ordered a drink with Tamarindo Smirnoff. It was delicious! Since it was flavored vodka you really couldn't taste the alcohol on that one. They have karaoke Fridays so it was cool to hear ppl sing. The speakers were a bit loud ( reminded me of a club). Overall, good place to hang out. read more

As soon as you walk in, this place is loud. With both energy and decor. Tons of lights up on the ceiling and little pig decorations everywhere. We happened to come on music trivia night, which was a nice surprise to join in on! The service was great. Claire was an excellent server who was very attentive and made sure our orders came out perfectly. The pork tenderloin sandwich was amazing!! It was crispy and juicy, definitely not dry at all even without any sauce on it! Fun atmosphere with good food. read more

Great service! In addition to our server, a man came around offering samples of beers and canned cocktails. I don't do well with high top tables and that is all we saw when we walked in. Keep walking! There are low tables behind the wall. The food was delish. He had the tenderloin sandwich and I had the soup and salad combo. Homemade tortellini and sausage soup with a fresh salad with dill ranch dressing. Lovely combo for $10. He thought the tenderloin needed more seasoning. The atmosphere was vibrant and loud. Just what we needed after a day with just the two of us on a long car ride. Definitely would recommend. read more

One of my favorite places to eat in Cedar Rapids. I've gotten something different every time and it's all been good.

A lively sports bar / pub with pretty varied menu. We started with their fried green beans and they were terrific! perfectly breaded & spiced. We ordered a Reuben and a tenderloin sandwich, which is basically a chicken fried steak in a roll. Both were very good. Service was prompt considering it was crowded and a rainy night, and our waitress checked in regularly without hovering. It seemed to be a mixed crowd of drinkers and diners and wasvpleasantly busy, not quiet but not annoying either. read more

This restaurant is very good if your looking for upscale bar food. It's a sport bar with realy good food. My second time here and the food was well prepared and very flavorful. The drinks are always good . The service is good the staff is fast and knowledgeable. Fairly priced and good vibes. read more

What a fun place to grab a bite to eat. Staff were very friendly. Atmosphere was great. We had a party of 5 and all got something different. The Jacked Mac n Cheese is good but prepared for the heat! Made from pepper jack cheese and a hint of ghost pepper. The side of sweet potato fries came with a side of homemade creamy cinnamon dipping sauce. That was to die for! I also got the Co Co Cabana Mule and it was just like a pina colada. We will definitely be going back!! read more

Service at the bar was super slow even though it wasn't busy. She was training someone, I think, but she did a poor job of checking on the 2 customers at the bar. Maybe spend less time talking to other staff and pay attention more to the customers? Worst of all, they put the presidential address on multiple tvs. Gross. read more

Escape the noisy bar and enjoy the great patio. Food is consistently good and efficient service

Asked for a black and tan and the bartender said absolutely. She came back with half pints of blue moon and cracked a Guinness and asked if we wanted to pour the topper or if we wanted her to. I said you please and she proceeded to middle pour the Guinness without even attempting to layer. Before she poured the second I asked if she had a spoon and she replied "oh did you want me to layer this?" I said yes please and she responded "yeah I'm not going to do that" then middle poured the second drink. Our group also got crossed off the waitlist because we got beverages from the bar while waiting for our seats. I got the burnt ends sandwich and there were too many onions and limited sauce. read more

Was a wonderful place to visit. Great food and staff. Hope to get back there from Indianapolis.

Each time we visit we get amazing service and the food is always delicious. Their pulled pork grilled cheese is phenomenal!

She had the Reuben and fries, I had the tenderloin and Onion Rings. We both should've gotten a box for left overs instead of eating it all. The tenderloin was great, not too thin and not dried out. The Reuben could've used more thousand island, but was very good. The fries were great. And the onion rings were too but a little too dark from the frier. Second time e there, will come back and probably have the same things again. Forgot to take a picture before we started eating. read more

Had a great late lunch here recently. The breaded tenderloin sandwich was awesome! Service was wonderful and atmosphere was great - laid back with good music playing, sports on the television and wonderful food! read more

What an outstanding little roadhouse style bar/grill. They have a great list of local beers on tap. I had the coffee stout and it was great. Of course everyone raves about the pork tenderloin sandwich, for good reason. It comes out piping hot, crispy, tender and perfectly seasoned. It certainly can serve two people. The fries are also hot and crisp with pillowy interiors. They have a friendly staff, ample parking, and a relaxed ambiance. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Staff was nice and recommended a few options. 9 out of 10 for tenderloin. Great beer selection! read more

Great food, reasonable prices and friendly service. Tenderloin was fabulous, so was the jacked Mac-n - cheese!

Came from out of town and wanted a pork tenderloin sandwich did not disappoint. Best sandwich service was very friendly and gave drink choices. The place was a quaint little bar. Would recommend. read more

Best tenderloin in Cedar Rapids is not a lie! The locally produced pork really makes a difference in the taste and makes me respect the restaurant even more. Speaking of local, there are many beers on tap and over half of them are local or around this region. Environment can be loud, but it is friendly and fun kind of loud. Don't forget about the patio! It's so cute and quaint, tucked behind the building under trees (or what's left of them after the big storm of 2020). The fairy lights are cutesy and there are 4 large tvs, perfect for football season!!Timing of the food is quick which is nice for a grab and go kind of lunch or dinner. The service is immaculate. THAT alone makes me wanna keep coming back! Lots of the same staff over the years must mean whoever owns, or manages, is doing a hell of a job that no one wants to leave. Go check it out as soon as you can! You'll leave with a full belly and a heart full of happiness:) read more

You know the food is great however, we might need to change the name to the DEAF PIG Every time I have called when there's an event or a game even a college game, nobody answers the phone We like the food so much I actually drove to and then ordered at the restaurant somethings not right and management needs to fix it. They're online orders or as important or more important than they're in bar orders. hey, we voted number one for best tenderloin in Cedar Rapids. They are very good but I should be able to get one when the restaurant is open no matter what. I just spent the last 45 minutes trying to call and nobody answered so it's not that good read more

Good food. They would make more money if they would answer their phone for carry out.

Cool bar and grill. We stopped here for dinner and were pleasantly surprised by the cool fall decorations and big screen tv's playing Monday night football. Our waitress was Katie who was very friendly and immediately offered some of the highlights on their beer menu. She also recommended several sandwiches including the Pig Out which is the one we ordered and shared. Food was delicious! The gals sitting next to us ordered the nachos that were heaping high and looked amazing! Great little place be sure to stop if you ever get the opportunity! read more

This place is the best! Service was excellent and the food was awesome! We had the tenderloin, a monster big enough for 2 people, and the French dip. Both were great! The drink menu is fun, too, and not too expensive. read more

Our first time here. It was lunchtime crowd and very busy. The waitress still took her time explaining specials and menu items without making us feel rushed. The service was great. Didn't have to wait long for our food. The food was great. My favorite was actually the Crème Brûlée Donut for dessert. That was fabulous. read more

Excellent food and service! Great ambiance with a mix of sports fans and folks out having a cocktai.

Our friend from Florida wanted "Iowa food" and the tenderloin was perfect! We sat on the patio and it was a great time.

The food is pretty good! The service is hit or miss. Apparently there are a lot of "regulars" that go here. They definitely cater to them. There was once that I went with my daughter and we sat for 35 minutes, and not one person came to even bring water, but people were standing around talking with the regular people who frequent The Blind Pig. So, food really good. Service, not so much. read more

Cute restaurant good food and great service. The BLT was great. Great place to take your family.

My husband and I went because the name made us laugh, but we ended up having a great time. I had the stud muffin mule (if you like blueberry I highly suggest you get it) and we split a tenderloin, it was amazing, truly do think it's Cedar Rapids' best. I recommend the funnel cake fries, they were awesome!! Service was a tad slow, but they were super duper busy so I wouldn't dock them for that. Hubs and I kept looking at each other and laughing because whoever was in charge of the music had the same tastes as us! (Peaches by POTUS is not one I hear in public often lol) read more

Great food at a decent price. Not a ton of seating so be aware if you are going on a weekend or during a game! The selection of food is actually really great as well! Good all around choice for a quicker bite to eat! read more

I give this a five star because I eat so fast with my friend!!!!! This was so so yummy and delicious and are waitress is nice.

Second time here and we were not impressed with the place overall. Seemed to be plenty of staff, almost too many for the size of the place. They continued to trip over boxes laying on the floor as they went to/from kitchen. Looks messy especially in customers view. One male came out of kitchen (with his finger in his mouth) to show other staff his cut finger (no bandage or gloves) He returned to the kitchen which made it very unappetizing as we hadn't yet received our food. The sandwiches are definitely low end bar food. The bathroom had a filthy heater plugged in an outlet next to the sink which didn't feel very safe considering all the water there. The bill has 4% if you use a credit card so I used cash. I was given dollars back but our server shorted me the coin change- not a big amount but makes me wonder about their bookkeeping. We will not be back. read more
