The food menu is absolutely charming! And totally LOVE the bar and selections! We've brought several guests here this past year. The bar staff and wait staff are charming. We ate the cheese curds and were pleasantly impressed--coming from WI, that's a tall bar. My spouse had a burger and I had the fish. All were delightful! So glad we found this place! I hope it never changes!

Throw back dive bar for sure!! Not as expected for Main Street Cedar Falls, and not really a local…read moreneighborhood stop. There were 2 guys playing cards but the rotating group of young, drunk 20 somethings- screamed that we were in the place. Bottles of beer were $3- all beer for $3. Getting drunk cheap appeared easy to do. If you forgot what a smoke filled bar smells like- this place will take you right back to that smell- pretty sure the paneling is original and every pour absorbed the lost smells.

(or maybe that is just my perception) I love this place for many reasons: 1.) The bartender (that I believe no longer works there but I still love her, Katie.) The reason I went there so much. 2.) Good stiff drinks that are cheap 3.) Pool tables 4.) Juke Box that plays Janis Joplin, David Bowie and other generally good songs (when your drunk) 5.) SALTY popcorn that taste amazing aka "crack" 6.) mini pitchers 7.) being allowed to dance around with my shoes off 8.) usually not crowded 9.) "Talk Sex with Sue" would be playing on the TV 10.) annoying frat boys got kicked out by the bartender for being annoying 11.) etc. 12.) etc.

Applebee's at 2780 Crossroads Blvd, Waterloo, IA 50702 delivered a true 5 star plus experience and…read morereminded me why simple comfort food, done right, still wins. I ordered the 6 ounce sirloin and it came out looking like it actually mattered to somebody in the kitchen. The steak was cooked just right, juicy, and full of that clean, grilled flavor that hits you on the first bite. Not over salted, not drowned in sauce, just a solid, well seasoned sirloin with a nice sear that gave it that little edge of char you want. For a 6 ounce portion, it felt generous because it was thick, tender, and did not taste like it had been sitting under a heat lamp. The sides were the real surprise in the best way. The broccoli was bright green, fresh, and cooked to that perfect point where it is still crisp but not raw. It tasted clean and lightly seasoned, like it was meant to balance the plate instead of being an afterthought. The mac and cheese was straight comfort. Creamy, rich, and smooth, with that warm cheesy bite that makes you slow down and enjoy it. The portion was more than enough, and it held its texture instead of turning into a greasy mess. Then there was the salad, which honestly tied the whole meal together. Fresh greens, crisp toppings, and everything tasted like it had just been prepped. Nothing wilted, nothing soggy. It added that cool, clean crunch that made the plate feel complete. Overall, the flavor, freshness, and portions were outstanding. This meal felt filling without feeling heavy, and every part of the plate tasted like it was made with care. If you are in Waterloo and you want a reliable, satisfying meal that tastes better than you expect, this Applebee's absolutely earns a strong recommendation.

Service was alright but I'll get to that in a minute. We were sat in a booth, love that. Our server…read morewas great!! I ordered the garlic sirloin skillet and it looked and smelled amazing when it was brought out but there was just one issue: I ordered RARE and received medium well... 5-6 minutes later a woman who I assume to be a manager of some sort brought me another steak (with no garlic topping on it) and again, medium at best. When I told her it still was over cooked she looked at me like she was waiting for me to just accept it.. so I did and said "ya know what, it's fine I'll eat it." SPOILER ALERT: I didn't lol. She discounted our meal about $10, which yea okay fine but I still wanted my food to my liking and never got it. I still tipped the server because it wasn't her fault that her manager needs to practice customer service and the kitchen needs to learn how to cook a steak. ALSO my boyfriends chicken was dry (he wanted me to add that)

I opted for the classic martini as I've never had one before- let's just say that drink is for the brave only! My second drink was a peartini which was more my speed. The edible rose petals was a super cute touch. We ordered a couple of apps which was okay... we ordered food from the club door/attached to the lounge. The crab rangoon pizza is a must try and the fried calamari was pretty good too. The service was good, we had a good time. For a Saturday evening there was a good turn out of people. It was getting really lit at the club attached. I'll definitely go here again when I'm in town!
