I love this place! The food and service is fantastic! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great American fair!

A surprisingly good bar to grab some food. The patio is quieter than expected given the location.

Great service a great food. I would definitely make it back again. I haven't been in for years. They have remodeled and put some great effort into the menu. This is easily the best sandwich place in Cedar Rapids. Burnt ends on a sandwich on cornbread bread ! Mindblown read more

The place was packed. Got seated and had a waiter right there. Food was great. Atmosphere was good.

Good food, great atmosphere and the service was top notch! Will return with friends!!!

Possibly the best pork tenderloin I've ever had. Atmosphere was shit but the beer was cold and the tenderloin was so good. Who cares what the place is like just shut up and eat it read more

Stopped by to try it out! Great dive bar location with fun service and a Pork Tenderloin that is fantastic! Go give it a try! Super relaxed place read more

Traveling through and stopped at our fav tenderloin shop in IA. Great customer service and friendly staff. And of course the tenderloins are top notch. A little thicker with good breading. Lots of topping options and reasonable prices keep us coming back every time we are near. And they just made top 3 in the state tenderloin this year! read more

BBQ pulled pork BL no T Spicy Chicken Sandwich basically I love this place and love their cozy little patio that has multiple tvs.

I went in to get a burger and fries and they have the Zoltan machine like in the movie BIG. Great atmosphere and fantastic food. It was highly recommended by a good friend and it was spot on. Everything was perfect and as ordered. I came back for the nachos and it's another fantastic meal. I always get it to go and the staff is friendly and extremely helpful. 5 stars well earned. read more

Excellent tenderloin. It was thicker than many places serve, and the bun held up to the sandwich. I would come back for this tenderloin. One of the best in the city! We had a great server! read more

The Blind Pig - Tenderloin - Sports Bars Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

What a great place! I should have something other than the tenderloin sometime but its truly great. Beer selection is rather impressive. Staff, generally, gives off the "get going so they can flip more tables vibe" rather than the "stay and have another beer" vibe, otherwise i would give it 5 stars. Just a bit more welcoming and conversating the guests and even recommending beers, food, etc could go a long way to warming up the atmosphere. Either way ill always be back. read more

Best food in town. My go to place. Friendly staff & quick service. Easy parking & reasonable prices

So amazing had a dinner date there with my wife. And it was so good! Definitely recommend!

Pretty good for late night- especially when nothing else is open in Cedar. Somewhat sketchy local characters but seemed harmless.

Great burgers and tenderloins. Hand cut fries really good especially with the burgers and sandwiches.

Hey you, server dude. How about focus on your table and less on rolling the silverware. The server gave us our drinks and then I think he forgot he had a table. We had to tell him that we wanted to order two appetizers. We ordered the apps and food then guess what...our food came out before our two apps. He forgot that we had orders two apps until we asked him. So then he brings them...after our food. ‍ He never cleared anything off the table until we were done eating. Actually, one of the other servers came by and cleared off some of the dishes. A $4 tip would have easily been a $10 tip. Food was mediocre at best. Nothing to write home about. Me and my friend got the burnt ends sandwich. The meat tasted like it was out of the Walmart frozen food section. The fried cheese bites were the best part of the meal. P.S. There was a spider crawling in and out of the cracks in the wall directly over my head. Sorry Blind Pig...We won't be back. read more

I was hungry for a great burger and The Blind Pig didn't disappoint. I ordered carryout and was thrilled with everything... the mushroom swiss burger was delicious with au jus dipping sauce, great seasoned fries and cole slaw. Staff was very friendly and cheery. I'll be back! read more

I love the food my favorite items are the nachos and the pretzel with beer cheese! The service is always great!

Great service and great ambiance. The food was delicious. Such a nice addition to Monticello. Will be looking forward to our next visit.

Third trip to the Blind Pig. And for the third time I had the tenderloin. My gf had the Chicken Caesar salad. The service was friendly and efficient. It's a bar, so don't expect something else. Families are welcome. The food was excellent. First the salad. It was loaded with fresh, crisp greens and topped with heaps of grilled chicken, real bacon, blue cheese crumbles, and hard-boiled egg. It was a huge serving. Next up the tenderloin. It was big enough for two! And for an extra $3 you can add a second bun and a second side. The tenderloin itself might be a little thin but not overly so. It was hot, crisp, juicy and flavorful. It was topped with lettuce, tomato, red onion and sandwich pickles. My side of fries were perfectly hot and crispy - perfectly seasoned. All-in-all, great place with great food! read more

The Blind Pig - The tenderloin -big enough for two!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

I was in the area and wanted to try a new place. Yelp led me to The Blind Pig, and I'm so glad it did. The beer was cold, the service was awesome, and the food was fantastic. We had the pulled pork nachos and the tenderloin with pulled pork and slaw on it. Try this place out!!! read more

After more than 30 years of searching, this is the best pork tenderloin sandwich I've had. Hot, crispy and huge. They even offer a sharing option with 2 buns and an extra side. read more

This place went from family restaurant to outright bar last year. The first evidence of this change is the condition of the entrance - hundreds of cigarette butts litter the parking lot and area around the front door. Some of them are embedded in dried vomit. Its very inviting in that trashy college dive bar way. Inside feels the same - grimy bar carpet and beat-up fixtures. Not exactly fine dining in any aspect. Given the outward appearance I was surprised to see an older crowd on a late saturday night. Mostly townies/locals throwing back drinks and singing karaoke. The bartender singing 'ordinary people' while cleaning tables. Amazing talent tonight. I dont know if they still do food, whenever I get out there its just booze and the kind of service you might expect at such a bar - proficient drink making without much in the way of presentation. If you feel like going someplace 'nice' look elsewhere. If you feel like going out for drinkies and don't really care if you have to step over vomit and trash to get inside...this is your place. Service is 'standard' at best. Two stars because I'm not sure if they do food anymore so I'll leave them the possibility of reasonable results there... read more

The Blind Pig - Saturday night kareoke. Decent singers in the place. Full house, older townie vibe. Get down to some Garth or whatever. - Sports Bars Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

It was delicious. Good quality Im a neighborhood without many Chicago favorites. Lots of goodies here. Fries are good and decent but not home made to my observation, I didn't ask. It's a lot of work to do then fresh. If I open a restaurant I'd do that and rack in the $$. read more

Their pork tenderloin is nothing to joke about! They say it is the best in Cedar Rapids, it is good enough for me to say it is one of the best tenderloins I have had in a long time. They had a wide variety of drinks on tap as well as can drinks. The staff were very considerate and helpful with serving me. The best part was that my food came suprising faster than i had planned. I may go back there in the future. read more

Went here with a customer and some coworkers and the place was packed. Got there for happy hour and the place was jammed! Luckily, after happy hour, we were able to get a table and got some food. I got the philly, with their homemade chips and dip. REALLY good!!! Too many peppers for my liking but I knew that and should've told them to just go light. My bad. Everyone in the group loved their food and I can't wait to try something else. Great beer selection too!! Just a note....this place isn't really for kids. I know they welcome them, but I'd just leave them at home if they're pretty young. read more

Literally the BEST Philly Cheesesteak sandwich I have ever had!!! My husband & daughter loved the Burnt Ends Pork sandwich! read more

Had a good time with friends! Good place to grab a beer! Had a taco salad probably should have stuck with sandwich or burger! Ordered a tenderloin to take home to my husband and he loved it! Huge tenderloin wrapped in foil to stay warm, everything else on the side to stay fresh. We had a super friendly server and checked on us but didn't hover! Hadn't been here in forever we will be back! read more

The Blind Pig - Sports Bars Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

This is a bar with bar food, my husband went out for a sandwich and a drink, this place delivered. It is not very clean, the wait staff are disinterested in the guests or their job. The Diablo burger was spicy, greasy and filling. The tator tots were extremely over-cooked. The steak sandwich was probably the better of the two sandwiches but beyond being filling not much more to say. The homemade chips were stale. The Bloody Mary was spicy and the best part of the meal. This is a place you go to in order to kick back with friends, have drinks, watch the game, or play pool. The food is incidental. If you want to go to dinner, or want good food, pick another place. If it want the game and a cold beer, the Blind Pig is perfect! read more

Drinks were great! Pork tenderloin sandwich was huge! My hubby's nachos were awesome! Great local place to check out!

We picked up supper tonight. My husband ordered the jumbo tenderloin and I ate the extra bun and veges. His tenderloin was at least 1 full pound! and thick. Even the onions were great tasting, very fresh. We will definately go back and I'll order a salad next time and I'm sure he'll have the tenderloin again. It is truly enough to feed 2 hungry men read more

We came here from out of town. The food is delicious, especially for bar food. It doesn't compare to most bar food. The pulled pork sandwich and pork tenderloin sandwiches were delicious. We are here a few more days and will go back again before we leave. I definitely recommend this place. read more

The Blind Pig - Huuuuge pork tenderloins sandwich and very juicy. - Sports Bars Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

I stopped in with my sister for drinks after work. Server, Courtney, was not very personable and continually had to track her down for drinks. We had also intended to order food to go after having a couple of beers, but we were never asked if we wanted menus. I was finally able to get Courtney's attention long enough to ask for a menu, which she threw on our table in passing with out pausing to ask if we needed any drinks. After tiring of playing hide-and-seek with our waitress we asked the bartender, Mia, for assistance and received great service. Drinks were filled, to-go order was prompt, and Mia was quick when we asked for our check. I'll be sure to only sit at the bar from now on. Management should probably address server standards. I doubt they find it acceptable to ignore select tables in a section in order to play grab-ass with friends/regulars. read more
