While looking for another place we stumbled upon The Dandy Lion and are quite glad that we did. It?s a quaint, cute, and very... welcoming atmosphere that we couldn?t resist. From the initial conversation with the host to our server and food the overallexperience was fantastic! We semi expected a bit more of a ?greasy spoon? type of meal but it was far better. Both of ourplates were spotless upon completion of our meal followed by the feeling of being pleasantly full. If you are reading this,definitely choose The Dandy Lion. We will be back. Read more
This food was amazing! I was not expecting Iowa City to have such good food. I got the breakfast sandwich and my boyfriend got... The Lodger. Both were so good, especially The Lodger with how flavorful it was. We got a pumpkin torte dessert which was superrich and delicious. The service was super friendly and could not have asked for a better experience! Read more
Updated Review: Decided to give this place another shot. I didn?t think it could get worse but it did. It took a very long time... to get our food even though there was only 3 other tables. A lot of the time staff would just gather and hangout around the bar.Our server was nice enough but he had no idea what he was doing. Decided to order cocktails while we wait for food. I orderedthe chai cocktail iced, received it hot. Not a huge deal?tasted ok. My partner ordered the necromancer cocktail and there wasice in it ??????????? (should?ve been strained out since it was served in a coupe). Major amateur vibes. Don?t mix cocktails ifyou don?t know how to correctly, please. They had to take our food order again because they ?lost? the ticket. Once we got thefood, we couldn?t have been any more disappointed. I ordered the eggs Benedict and my hollandaise sauce was straight up COOKED.It wasn?t sauce anymore. I didn?t eat any of my meal. My partner's steak looked GREY and had an ODD taste, like it was old meat.He also found multiple hairs in his hash browns ??????????? We gave this place another shot and we will NEVER come back.

Service was good. Didn't finish our meals. Hash was lacking in flavor, and turned to most texture quickly. Eggs I asked for... scrambled, got more of an omelette, half covered by my biscuits and gravy. Little flavor to the eggs themselves. The gravy wasnot my preference, more grease and sweet. Mixing in hot sauce could not overpower the mouth feel of the texture. Read more
