I did a coffee shop ranking last time, so here&#8217;s a restaurant ranking! (Out of 5 stars)<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Get Fresh Cafe: 5\/5. A bit on the pricy side, but bomb freaking everything. I&#8217;ve heard good things about their smoothies and other menu items. My personal favorites are their acai bowls and spinach salad. I was a bit disappointed in their chia pudding, however. Worth the wait for the food to be made, and super cute cafe decor.<\/li>\n<li>Pancheros: 3\/5. Iowa&#8217;s Chipotle. I was a bit disappointed. Why have blue corn chips instead of yellow corn? Their burrito bowls do not taste as good as Chipotle&#8217;s. I&#8217;ve heard their burritos are better though, so maybe get those.<\/li>\n<li>Chipotle: 4\/5. Also a Chipotle in town. Obsessed with their tortilla chips and salsa. Their bowls always hit the spot. They need to work on having better chicken though, it&#8217;s so chewy.<\/li>\n<li>Airliner 4\/5: Fantastic pizza and Caesar salads. $1 slices on Sundays!!<\/li>\n<li>Noodles and Company: 3\/5: Depending on what you get it, it can be pretty good. I feel like the quality is meh &#8211; I&#8217;m picky about my pasta.<\/li>\n<li>Basta: 5\/5: Delicious pasta!! Everything is made fresh there and hands-down the best Italian in Iowa City.<\/li>\n<li>Zzmarik&#8217;s: 5\/5. My favorite place in Iowa City! $5 Mac Mondays and delicious menu. Never busy in there and I love their pasta wall art.<\/li>\n<li>The Webster 4\/5: Bougee restaurant! Like the interior and pretty good food. I&#8217;m not adventurous when it comes to food so the menu had slim pickings for me. Great dessert though!<\/li>\n<li>Masala: 4\/5. Pretty great Indian cuisine! I like their Tikka Masala, which is rare for me to find one I like. Their naan bread is fantastic.<\/li>\n<li>Buffalo Wild Wings: 5\/5. Loveee their wraps and mac and cheese.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>There are wayyyy more restaurants in town, I haven&#8217;t eaten my way through them all yet. Iowa City is definitely a foodie town, so you won&#8217;t be disappointed!<\/p>\n<p>-Solenn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey y&#8217;all!
