The Med appetizer was lovely-veggie balls and hummus and gluten free. The veggie burger is homemade and tasty. My husband enjoyed his Winter Spice Old Fashioned. Small space, and some people were turned away from eating there. read more

The appetizers were good but the service was very suspicious. My friends and I are all 22 years old, turning 23 this year, and the waiter inspected our IDs for a total of 2 minutes for only 3 IDs. It felt very targeted and the rest of our time spent there, the waiter was very short with us. Overall experience was not great. On another note, the fries flight was delicious. read more

The service was excellent. The burgers weren't that great. I had the one with pineapple and beets, because it sounded interesting and I love those things. I think I'd leave the beets off next time. My husband had the Cuban and said the pork was NOT fresh. We left feeling disappointed. read more

Its small, and normally couple minute wait for table, but great food and staff. priced right, worth the wait. I'ts clean and I eat ther couple times a month. read more

My father, my boyfriend, and I came for Saturday lunch and really enjoyed our experience. The cute little place had only one talented woman working the handful of tables and the bar. It got pretty full and it seemed like she coulda used a hand, but the quality of service was still excellent. The cozy quarters have cool wall paper, vintage maps and prints, and a touch of plants in the windows. The booths are stiff but intimate and I liked the silverware holder and the Trivial Pursuit cards on our table. After some debate, we ordered the campania crostini to share. It was my favorite part of lunch. My father "built" his own burger - double patty, goat cheese, bacon, and roasted tomatoes with a side of Cusco fries. That got two thumbs up, especially the fries. My boo thang got the Memphis burger with regular fries and inhaled it. I went with the Maui burger and Milwaukee fries, both of which I thought were just okay...scandal, I'm sure. It's cool though, because I'd still really like to try more of the menu. I love how different it is from other area restaurants and there's a lot to explore. Would definitely return and recommend to friends. Friendly service, cool atmosphere, great food. I'll be back for a New Orleans burger on the patio! read more

Great place! Every single thing we ate had a wow factor to it. From my Herbal Elixer mock tail to our veggie burgers, it was so damn delicious. The amazing service was the cherry on top. Top notch! read more

Burger joints have become as common and trendy as undercut hairstyle, beards, and kombucha. Seriously, it seems as if a new burger place offering unusual combinations of hamburgers opens up every other week. As you can tell, my expectations for what to expect from this place, were not very high. As soon as I walked in I knew this was going to be different. The Decour is rather unique and very interesting. Quite literally, it is a map room. The other thing that struck me as different was how small the restaurant is. I believe there are maybe five booths and two tables. The menu is rather simplest, as well. It is one page, printed on both sides yet the variety of what they offer is tremendous. I chose to have the Maui burger. That is a hamburger with spam, cheese pineapple and caramelized onions. Holy cow! That was arguably one of the best burgers I have had in a very very long time. In fact, the entire dining experience was one of the best dinners I have had in quite a while. The beer menu was wonderful. The food was incredible. The french fries were perfection. If you get a chance, you absolutely have to eat at this restaurant. I cannot recommend it highly enough. read more

They have a variety of burgers and fries that are pretty interesting. Good vegetarian options are available. The cocktails are decent. If you're in the mood for thay kind of food, it's a good spot now and then, but the menu is pretty limited to just that. Lots of cool travel related decorations and old maps on the wall which is neat. read more

In town for a baseball tournament and checked this place out. Really good service. Caleb was friendly, attentive and helpful. Food was excellent I had a Vieja Plaza with upgraded fries with beer cheese. Wife and son had burgers which were excellent. Small seating area. Would definitely come back. read more

Delicious!!! Cozy place with fun and attentive staff. Amazing food. We can't wait to try the bloody Mary's. read more

I was hoping to enjoy my experience with the map from a bit more my second time around this place just lacks consistency in the food. It really depends on who you get and on whether they're busy or stay after I don't know this time around my food was just not well prepared, and the flavor was just either offer and it was my burger was overcooked for one. I might need to just give this place a third try to Chyna have three points of comparison and just consider that every place gets to have one night off or a bad time but this time around I just wasn't the best. read more

Food, has a build your own burger. Very good flavor. Hot, came out in no time. Service, my server was great, very nice friendly person . Ambiance: a bit dark just felt like the wrong vibe. Good beer, I'm not one to take chances. But I did tonight and had something out of the ordinary. Pretty good. Over all good experience. read more

I highly recommend The Map Room. They have some of the best burgers in Cedar Rapids. My fiancé and I went with some friends and the food was fabulous. They have great specials on drinks every day of the week. The restaurant is very small so it's best to go with a small group. They do not take reservations either, but they do have a bar that offers additional seating. They don't have their own parking lot, but there is plenty of street parking and the parking garages. read more

Gooooood burgers! Napkins suck lol. Good drinks. Owners rock. One of the o ly places in town to get spam! Love it. read more

I came here with four kids from out of town and we all did "make your own burgers". I love this place-- we were welcomed in right as we walked in. The decor is so original. There are maps all over the walls and really cool lighting and great wait staff. They happen to have 80s music so that was great. It kind of reminds me of whiskey bar but it has very good food and is appropriate for kids. There is a bar here by the way but I didn't get to partake in that today. My 11 year olds' review: This place is AMAZING! Omg great service great food there is salads and burgers and we are dancing to the great music that's playing. read more

Food is freaking delicious, a little expensive but definitely worth it. The service is immaculate at this place and couldn't be better.

We are here and extremely disappointed in this establishment, We are seated as a group of six. Out of nowhere a manager asks us to move to a booth for 4 people. So six grown adults that already ordered dinner have to move. Oh and did I forget the staff sat us. So we jammed in a spot and had a great meal in a tiny booth. I'm embarrassed for this place as Cedar Rapids is better than this. Skip it is what I will tell people about Map Room read more

Super cool place with great interior. Cozy, yet not too small. There is booth, table or bar seating available. Peyton was attentive, knowledgeable, friendly and was able to recommend her favorite burgers, tell us the specials and ingredients in each. She was friendly, smiling and plesent. The Map Room concept is cool overall. They have lots of framed maps for decor, small Moroccan style pendant lighting above each booth and bar as well as themed burgers. The burger selection was diverse and included everything from spam toppings, eggs, hummus, or gravy and many more or you can build your own burger. All burgers come with fries, soup or salad. If you're not in the mood for a burger, there are 5 loaded fry options, soup or salad. I had the Marrakesh burger and it was excellent. Generous portion, great soft bun, loaded with flavor with hummus, olive, chermoula and goat cheese. My mom had The Omaha with corned beef, sauerkraut, 1000 island. We had a small side of beer cheese (topping) to dip the fries in. It was amazing!! Perfect consistency and very flavorful. They had a great selection of beer on tap, several local breweries represented as well as several can options, a few cocktails or wine. I would definitely recommend stopping in for a burger, beer, happy hour or anytime!! read more

Amazing Rueben sandwich and salad. Corned beef was lean and flavorful, Place was busy for mid afternoon so you know the food is great. Service was good and decor was unique. Highly recommend!! read more

The burgers, sandwiches, fries and drinks are amazing! Best burger in town! If you want an amazing burger this is the place to eat! Give them a try! You won't be disappointed!! read more

I enjoy going to the Map Room to eat their fantastic burgers or to drink some of their good craft beer on tap. The bartenders are always so friendly and awesome to talk to. And there is always great seating whenever I go there. I went with a group of friends to the Map Room on Saint Patrick's Day and we had a blast there! Can't wait to go back! read more

5 stars isn't enough! Stopped in on a week day, got seated and got our hands on the menu... it was a bit overwhelming, not because of the size, but because it all looked so good! Had a great waitress, food was out quick and it was SOOO good! Will definitely be back, can't recommend enough! read more

Food was great! Drinks were great! Wait staff was awesome. This place is small and it was busy but it's worth a visit.

I've heard about the map room but hadn't been until yesterday. It was a great experience. Not too expensive. They have gluten free buns and fries! They are also environmentally conscious with paper straws and environmentally friendly napkins. I definitely am recommending this place to my friends and family. read more

Great selection of mocktails. Loved the pesto naan. Got us in quick on busy Saturday night. We'll definitely be back.

Come on seriously? This place made a list for how good their burgers are? The burgers were gray and not even round they didn't even cover the bun, the toppings were slopped on and tough . The entire burger was dry and void of all flavor. The fries were over cooked and the poutine ( Canada called their declaring war) was a gross box of nasty, the fries " melted" before the cheese did how do you get ff to melt? I am disappointed by this place and the group of people that gave them a rank for best anything. When my wife opened the Togo boxes she said " this is sad", and it was. Gross gross gross read more

Excellent staff and atmosphere inside and on the patio. This is a place you want to visit if never been here. Great Bloody Mary's and craft cocktails as well. read more

There's no better burger place in CR. You wouldn't know it from the outside, but this tiny joint is a great place for trying whiskey and they also have good options for vegan and gluten-free patrons. read more

Best burgers in Iowa!!! They offer so many different options and I can't wait to try each and everyone of them.

Bring back the naan. PLEASE!! The food is still great, but the new menu now is mostly two of the same thing: burgers or sandwiches. (??) Their naan menu had been some of the best things to eat in CR. The night after treating my brother to a ribeye Oscar style at a place across town, I brought him here for the Busan naan. One bite and he said, "Oh my God, you could have tossed that steak last night and just brought me here! This is one of the best things I've ever tasted!!" Heartbreaking to see it and the Campagnia naan gone. . Bright side: the new Tokyo salad is incredible, and they didn't scrap the Montreal fries. Thank you for that. read more

The map room has an amazing hole in the wall feel- despite the fact that it's not touching any buildings. Although it has a bar, I would HIGHLY recommend going for the food. There is such a dynamic variety of options that are inspired by different locations around the world (everything within stays true to the map theme) There are a lot of burger options, so probably not the best place to go if you're vegan or vegetarian. But if you are, TRY THE FRIES. Everyone knows the perfect fry can be difficult to find, but the fries here are crispy and perfectly seasoned (a little on the saltier side) The service is really friendly, and the vibe of the whole place is very relaxed. There is only one tv, so you don't have to worry about getting distracted easily. The drinks they serve are well mixed and reasonably priced! read more

We (a party) of four returned to this restaurants because the food was terrific on a previous visit. We r got to eat because of the wait. It was busy on a Friday evening and we're told it would be a 20 minute wait. No problem so far. An hour passed with no update or contact even though we remained on the premises and they had our phone number. We checked in for some idea of what to expect. No apology, no care, but we were told it would be 20 minutes. We left without informing the business and got an g pizza at Need Pizza a couple of blocks away as far as the Map Room was aware, we were still waiting. No contact. My beef here is the lack of apparent care for the customers. The was a shortage of staff and no obvious front person. There was no effort to communicate and there was no attempt to entice is to return. Go here when it is not busy. read more

BEST BURGER IN CEDAR RAPIDS! And possibly the best cocktail and beer menu as well! The Map Room offers a wide variety of unique burgers, sandwiches, and sides. It is perfect when you are dining with both picky and adventurous eaters! We have really enjoyed dining here before and throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. They have a spacious outdoor patio to enjoy when the weather allows and they also offer convenient curbside to go ordering. If you do choose to dine inside, they are taking precautions to space out tables and employees all wear masks. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend! Businesses like the Map Room are exactly what downtown Cedar Rapids needs! read more

This place makes burgers exactly like we make them at home, and exactly like people who don't know how to make amazing burgers wish they could. The seating is extremely limited, they are always busy, but the weight is worth it in the end. read more

This is a small place with an outstanding and unique menu. I love the multi cultural take on their burgers and each one of them deliver a great flavor profile. The small and cozy atmosphere is very comfortable and it's a great place for dinner or just grabbing a beer or cocktail. There is limited seating but large booths make it a great place for bigger parties of 4 or more. There is not much waiting room but it's definitely worth waiting for. When it comes to the area I feel like it fills a much needed niche, you can't go wrong with unique burgers, cocktails, and great beer selection. If your in Cedar Rapids looking for something different this place is for you. read more

I can't wait to come back here again! I loved the atmosphere and decor in this pub (or, maybe it leans more to be a restaurant). It is cozy and clean with green covering the booths and bar stools. Maps covering the walls and books in the small windows. The place is not very big, but it really works for the ambiance. Lots of options for burgers and toppings for fries. Good mixed drink menu and with good wine, beer, and cider selections as well. I got the Napoli burger and I'm excited to try more next time. I want to come back as soon as possible! read more

The Map Room is our favorite little quick date spot. The food is always spot on when we go. My go to is an Indian Grilled Cheese, fries and beer cheese on the side. You can order your fries loaded with one of their options on the menu or to your liking. I have yet to have a burger at The Map Room, my other half will tell you it's the best burger in town. You can choose one from the menu or build your own, how can you go wrong? Never leave disappointed or hungry! Staff is great & the ambiance is great. They have delicious drinks, including my favorite dark beer! read more
