"The place looks great, but the food leaves a lot to be desired. Although, I think if you stay away from the burgers you might be okay. The burgers are only about 1/4 of an inch thick and come very well done, to the point of be burnt crispy around the edges. The friend I went with had a burger so salty she couldn't finish it. This used to be my go to place years ago, but sadly, no more."

"A classic diner style restaurant that has been semi updated but still keeps its classic charm. Delicious shakes that they put an entire slice of pie into, so if you're full from your meal I would recommend sharing. A fun stop!"

"Was visiting Iowa City and told that Hamburg Inn was a must-stop. So glad I did. I had the French toast with eggs and bacon on the side. I am very picky when it comes to my French toast and this was absolutely delicious. The eggs tasted farm fresh and well seasoned. Also, our server Amelia was phenomenal! So kind and attentive. She made the experience that much better."

"I loved the vibe of this place. The french fries were sooo good! I ordered the pork tenderloin sandwich and it was flavorless. If you like the pork tenderloin sandwiches at the Iowa State Fair, this one looks similar but is not nearly as good. That said, I could tell I just chose poorly. This place is busy and well-known and if I am ever in town again, I'll definitely go here and order something else. One thing I would like to note is that I was with an elderly person who needs a walker. Instead of seating us at an empty table that had a clear path to the door, we were sat in the back and it was a bit of a gauntlet maneuvering through the crowded, tight space."

"Saw the reviews and wanted to stop for a bite. Staff was friendly from the time we walked through the door. It's a small place, but has a cool nostalgic appeal to it. It's not a huge menu as some mentioned, but not supposed to be. Service was fast and food was pretty good. Only thing was when ordering a burger, I was asked with egg or bacon. I said name of burger again thinking I was mis-heard, and was asked about egg/bacon again, so thought maybe it came with it after all. Then asked if I wanted fries, onion rings or another choice, so I chose onion rings. Friend had a side salad (it was only lettuce). When bill came ($27+) it seemed high for a $3 salad/ $11.xx burger/$3 soda. Got to looking and bacon was extra $3 and guessing onion rings was another $3 or more as well? No receipt given or offered. Guess maybe waitress should have mentioned if things were an extra charge, instead of asking a customer like it was an included choice, especially if they've never been there before. Was a different experience at a cool little place, but not sure I would stop again for the price.☹️"
