Nestled in a welcoming atmosphere, this restaurant serves up comfort food that evokes fond memories for many patrons. The buffet, featuring a vibrant salad bar and delectable desserts, often shines brighter than the hot dishes, which can lack punch. Highlights include fried chicken and a choice of soups. Guests praise the attentive service and clean environment, reminiscent of home-cooked meals. Whether indulging in a Sunday brunch or a casual dinner, diners appreciate the warmth of family recipes. Though some service encounters may fall short, loyal fans return year after year for the comforting flavors and local charm.

We were recommended to this restaurant but should have checked the reviews and decided for ourselves. We both opted for the buffet, with the standout items being the salad bar and dessert section. However, the hot dishes on the buffet lacked flavor. The selection included fried shrimp, fried chicken, fried fish, ribs, and soups. Next time we visit, we will try 2 Mits based on a recommendation from a Cedar Rapids local.

This restaurant serves delicious comfort food with great service and tasty ice cream! The place is very clean and has a local feel. I love the salad buffet and the mouthwatering mashed potatoes, fried chicken, and corn. I definitely recommend this place!
