I can't give less, or I would. 5 item breakfast menu and it still took forty five minutes and we were second in line on a two top. Food finally shows and it was cold. How you can serve a cold fried egg is a mystery. Whatever you do don't mention the time to the cook/manager type person. Rotten, do not eat here.
The Village Meat Market & Cafe was our choice for a group lunch on a visit to Cedar Rapids. Upon our arrival, the cafe was very busy, but but we were seated right away. Each person in our party chose a different menu item: pulled pork sandwich, Pastrami and swiss sandwich, goulash, and the Village schnitzel. After ordering, we were pleased to hear the musician return from a break and begin playing live music during the lunch hours. Thanks to the reviews and recommendations of others, we did have a half order of the Beignets and they were delicious! We even managed to take home another order of Beignets, a few loaves of the house-made Reuben bread, and pastrami! Not only was the food outstanding, but the service as well. We were welcomed, checked on, and felt like the staff cared about our experience. The Village Meat Market & Cafe is the perfect place to slow down, enjoy a great lunch, and the company of your companions.
My wife and I went after church this afternoon. The service was excellent and personable, very casual. We enjoyed a great meal and live music (man with guitar, folksy blues).
Best Ruben I have ever had! Along with some German potatos makes a tereffic lunch! Must go and try them out.
Ribs. No joke. Take it from a KC bbq fan.. these are legit, no rub, low smoke baby backs with a great sweet and spicy sauce.
The food was spectacular. It tasted authentic and incredibly delicious. The staff was very relaxed and very helpful when it came to accommodating dietary restrictions. The atmosphere was cozy and the perfect place to wait out a rainstorm as they make it clear that you are in no rush to leave. I cannot give this place enough stars.
I love coming here with my parents for a great lunch. The atmosphere is relaxed and really enjoyable. You will love any choice you pick from the menu as all choices are delicious, authentic, and generous in portion. The staff and owners are wonderful and always make you feel right at home. Everything is home made. Make sure to try Grandma's German Potato Salad! She makes it herself and it's the best!
Really enjoyed our lunch. Their BBQ sauce was great! Having recently moves from South Carolina I was not too sure of finding good BBQ up here but we were very pleased with the ribs and brisket.
Love the unique atmosphere at Emil's Hideaway! The have an awesome bar and they also have a beautiful large fish aquarium in the bar area, which is a big hit, especially if someone is dining with kids!! The gook is really good as well and the beer is the coldest I've ever had!
Lou always makes the best. She works hard for her customers and I appreciate it.
Amazing food! Great vibes, and they have live music every now and then which is great! Really good quality food and the staff is amazing!
Great pastrami (lean like I like it) Pulled pork and brisket very tasty.
Nice homemade bread.
Baked beans a meal in itself.
I'll be back.from California.
