8 Awesome Iowa Restaurants I Visited This Spring [GALLERY]

It's time for another edition of... COURTLIN EATS FOOD!

Back in late February, I shared with you some of the great local restaurants I ordered from the first two months of 2024. Since there are so many awesome places to eat here in Iowa, I thought I would do it again! Here are eight of the places I visited or ordered delivery from in March and April:

• Bushwood Sports Bar & Grill - 350 Edgewood Rd NW, Cedar Rapids
• Gianna's Italian Beef - 375 3rd St SE, Cedar Rapids
• LP Street Food - 302 3rd Ave SW, Cedar Rapids
• Mullets - 1300 SE 1st St, Des Moines
• O's Grill -  3911 Center Point Rd NE, Cedar Rapids
• Old Neighborhood Pub - 608 16th St NE, Cedar Rapids
• Whiskey River Grill - 2882 Palo Marsh Rd, Palo
• Wild Hogs Saloon & Eatery - 350 Commercial Dr, Walford

I'd also like to give a shout out to a few other great local places that I enjoyed recently. Back in March, I used Grubhub to order a Cuban sandwich from the new Lost Cuban in Downtown Cedar Rapids. It was JUST as good as it was the first time the restaurant was around!

When I went to the Iowa Eats Food & Drink Festival in Waterloo in early April, I picked up some cheese curds from Hansen's Dairy out of Hudson. I got a bag of dill and a bag of ranch curds, and they were both AMAZING. I ate every single one!

And finally, a friend of our dropped off some donuts from Donutland at the station recently and we REALLY enjoyed them. Don't ask us how many we ate...
