The Iowa City area has many options that cater to your schedule without skimping on flavor or quality. Here are a few of our favorites!
Nodo

5 S. Dubuque St., Iowa City | 319-359-1181

With competitive prices, Nodo has the upper hand of having a creative menu and being meticulously crafted. The selections range from wraps to burgers, and the downtown Iowa City location has prime outside seating when the weather permits. The original Northside spot still wins for being tucked away in an Ace Hardware, though. Who doesn’t love that?
