    Pinball
    Emma B.

    The arcade games were a fun experience. I was thrilled by the amount of vegetarian options! We got the Bowser Jr pizza which had vegan pepperoni, seitan sausage and tempeh. It was very good and something we haven't seen available anywhere else. They had a very large group come in, so service was understandably a little slower, but we were in no rush especially with the games to keep us busy. Fun decor & just good vibes.

    Lots of vibe here. Loads of pinball and arcade games (will list some of the games at end of review). Very noisy but perfect for families. Very friendly staff. I had their house stout beer which was great. Three of us shared a large pizza and a starter. There was enough for leftovers. Not bad pizza considering. Nice crust. A little cheesy and not fresh ingredients but not terrible. The starter of Brussels sprouts with bacon and maple syrup made me love Brussel sprouts which is a massive accomplishment! They serve food on plastic type cutlery and you get sachets of Parmesan and chillies. So it's that kind of vibe. It's mostly the arcade and pinball games that will bring me back. For those who love pinball note that they are set on very sensitive Tilt levels! Games were: pinball - Batman's and Robin, The Shadow, Les Zeppelin, Simpsons and a few others. Arcade - CLASSIC games - Elevator Action, Ms Pacman, Frogger, Kong, Morral Combat, Moonbuggy, Robocop, Tron, Pole Position, Burger Time, Arxanoid so many others not listed here. If you like classic games, this place is for you.

    The atmosphere of Quarter Barrel is very techno-fantasy with all of the video games inside, that anyone can play. I enjoyed some delicious gluten-free pizza and craft beer while meeting up with a group of friends. The brewery was pretty busy at the time, so the service was understandably slow, considering there were only two waitresses on duty. The waitress that came to our table was very kind, but I just wish she could've come by our table more often to fill our water cups. It was kind of like dinner and a show when the waitresses got into a fight in the middle of the brewery yelling and cussing at each other and eventually, they went to the back where it appeared like they worked out their issues and then came out and continued about doing their duties for their tables that they had been waiting on. Great place for good pizza. Edit to Review to answer comment: to answer your question it was about a month ago that we visited and it was a meet-up that I was having with friends at 5:30 p.m. on a weekday. The waitress that helped us had red hair and the one that she was being yelled at by was a tall dark-haired waitress.

    The big dipper

    If you feel like hanging out and playing some retro arcade games this place will be perfect. if you love the sound of screaming children hogging up and greasing the arcade games. Service was terrible and the waitress checked on my table once to take the order. My drinks were empty for an hour while the server was just socialising and sitting at the bar talking to someone. We had no idea who our waitress was since they weren't even that helpful. We had a plate full of dirty dishes that were never taken but other tables were cleaned. We were there for about an hour and no plates were. The prices were at least decent for what you're getting, but there needs to be more description of what's in the food. I never would've thought "cheese dip served with local bread" would be filled with a pound of garlic powder and onions with a random meat. The arcade is fun if it's not busy, and the food is decent depending on what you get. The Big Chipper looks like a plate of diabetes but it's good to say the least.

    Margherita Pizza - I thought the Balsamic reduction overpowered the taste of everything else. :(

    I have to reduce my rating by one star. On a return trip I had hoped to order something special, and the pork sandwich that was described sounded like just the thing. They had all of the ingredients except the bread. Major letdown. Ordered the Margherita pizza and a small house salad. The citrus vinaigrette dressing was kind of bitter, not a fan of that one. The pizza, while well cooked was lacking due to the strength of the balsamic reduction drizzle. It overpowered the other flavorings of the pizza. Oh well, live and learn. Only one server on duty, so the service was not top notch, but certainly acceptable. Be aware that if you bring kids they might have some TV movies playing that contain nudity. And this was at 6pm, that's not acceptable if you want families to dine there. And one other TV had some adult situations playing. Not good.

    Burger Time!

    My wife and I went to The Quarter Barrel for the first time on Saturday night. The place was packed, but we were lucky enough to get a seat at the bar. This place is very kid friendly, and there was even a birthday party while we were there. Due to this, it was noisy, but my wife and I are very chill so we didn't mind. The Quarter Barrel brews their own beer, and at the suggestion of the bartender I ordered a Honoré. It was a tasty beverage, with a bit of spice. It came in at a whopping 7.2% ABV, so I chose to drink just one. My wife went for a German Hefeweizen, which she enjoyed. For our meal, we ordered the Holy Shiitake! pizza and some parmesan truffle fries. The pizza was superb. The crust was crispy, but not overdone. The toppings were plentiful, but not overwhelming. The subtle flavor of the pizza tasted better with each bite. Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed with our fries. They weren't bad, but the fries were slightly soggy. They also seemed a bit one note with the garlic. Maybe a Sriracha ranch dipping sauce would have enhanced the flavors. The highlight of the evening were the vast array of old-school arcade games. The games we played were either free or 25 cents. I was absolutely delighted to play "Burger Time", a favorite from my childhood. My wife got into the game as well, and both made it the 3rd level. BOOM! Overall, we enjoyed our experience and would likely come back for another Holy Shiitake next time we are in the area.

    My only regret was that I didn't have a chance to try the wide selection of pinball and vintage arcade games.

    I am just so darn happy there's another food/drink opting living in CID. This restaurant/watering…read morehole has sit-down option, seating at the bar and then additional seating outside the restaurant itself. The space is very well done. We were headed out on summer vacation and needed a celebratory beverage to start us off. Big Grove for us, chocolate milk for the littles. Perfection. The drink selection was great! The food menu looked pretty standard. Wings, salads, quesadillas, nachos. Pricing is as expected at an airport. Honestly, I was most impressed at their breakfast menu! Tons of options-- burritos, pizza, bagels, English muffins... yum! (Ranging from like $3-$8, too.) Overall, wet your whistle at Millstream Brewhaus!

    Being the only food/drink option past security at CID/Eastern Iowa airport in Cedar Rapids,…read moreMillstream Brewhaus has a big responsibility to "bring it" and get it right. I found them at a good time where they were not at capacity at the beginning of my airport visit and sampled some of their menu waiting for my flight out back home. The place is adequate size for the airport (which is not a massive airport). MB was clean and well maintained, and welcoming without being too ornate. My servers were very positive and attentive, even towards the end of my visit where MB started to be at full capacity. I had the chicken tender app and the quesadilla app, both were good and hit the spot. If you sample their beers and ales made by their own Millstream Brewing Co., I recommend trying their White Ale. It's on the order of a Blue Moon type Belgian but much more flavorful and enjoyable...I wish they were near to my home as I enjoyed this one a lot! Bottom line: Definitely try Millstream Brewhaus if you get a chance to visit CID airport. Pretty good eats and a great White Ale. Positive and attentive service in a nice atmosphere. I enjoyed my visit!
