Location: 521 Westbury Dr on the East side of Iowa city in Eastern Iowa.
Directions: Its near the intersection of Scott Boulevard and Rochester Ave or the Herbert Hoover Highway on the far east portion of Iowa City. There isn't much else out here so you can see the place from the boulevard before navigating the side streets.
Online at: Website is HERE.
The Tenderloin: The problem here is that the cut of pork loin seemed to never have been tenderized. This was one chewy sandwich from start to finish. The batter formed a decent crunch that melted away without any real beer flavor. Served on a durable bun that felt calibrated for heavy juicy burgers. This seemed like an extra item tacked onto the menu. Overall 6.4 out of ten.
Price: $10.00 with a mountain of handcut fries that are the real star of the show.
Fries are good |
Service: It seemed like students running the show while I stopped in for lunch.
Ambiance: The interior design is great with nice wood fixtures on the bar and booths, with exposed metal and televisions everywhere.
Final Thoughts: The location in a strip mall between Middlebury, Eastbury, and Westbury Roads feels like the geography of being nowhere. I know this area will fill up someday but right now its just emptiness. The original and East location are still places I would go for a burger. My next stop in Iowa City will probably be at Iron Hawk downtown or Shakespeare's Pub.
