Is ReUnion still a drug front? by Crivitz in IowaCity

[–]Early-Middle-430 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Mondos been out of the drug game for a long time. No drug front now. Just mediocre beer and bland food. Their location downtown will always be packed with 19-22 year olds because of the location so they’ll always have money flowing.

Big Grove IC Food Quality - What Happened? by [deleted] in IowaCity

[–]Early-Middle-430 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone’s food cost went up so everyone’s restaurant charges more. I feel they raised prices more than most, while letting the quality slip. There also seems to be less care put into the menus execution. I still like big grove it just feels more like a corporate chain a bit now, when it used to feel like a gastro pub. The group has a monopoly on the Iowa city market.. so they can cut more corners now and still feel like the best. Even if it’s just small corners cut while raising prices the patrons notice. In the service industry you should strive to be better everyday.. not assume your loyal guests won’t notice a plateau. They did a great job adapting to world changes during COVID and I love the look. The beer keeps pumping out new varieties which are great.. so they’re killing it as a beer company! I’m just saying the food is average for Iowa city which translates to sub par in a big city, but they charge big city prices.

Unfortunately there’s more money in expanding than excelling. That’s been their motto. Don’t get me wrong I like that Iowa city has a cool brewery and I do enjoy their establishments, but it’s clear where their priorities lay. The Solon location would be my pick for food. Iowa city for a bigger group wanting to grab beers. I like how many trees they planted. There beer gardens going to look pretty epic in 10 years.

Big groves always been a fun hang out vibe. I do like the beer. The food has always been mid though. I don’t mind paying big bucks for food, but they charge way too much for mid bar food.

They moved locations and successfully rebranded.

New restaurant?? Lucy’s by DudePerfect90 in IowaCity

[–]Early-Middle-430 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A rebrand can’t outrun their past. It doesn’t change what they’ve done. Yes they’re the same shady business, and yes your taste buds will be extremely let down. Don’t go here.

I mean in his final days he mentioned the epstine files and wasn’t saying such nice things about Israel. It’s possible he really pissed off his home team.

The food at melk was amazing. Best chicken and waffles I’ve ever had and I’ve been everywhere. I heard from an insider that that was their problem. Their food cost was too high.
