Hamburg Inn was probably the highlight of our trip to Iowa and I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. This place is not even close to a terrible greasy spoon place despite the numerous...

Bison burgers here are great and it is hard to argue with breakfast all the time. It is a greasy spoon place, I'll admit, but great food and worth a stop for the political atmosphere too.

Its myth permeates the Iowa City area with such fervor that all who have not dined here are mocked and ridiculed. Having had enough mock and rid we chose to take the plunge with friends. Know for...

You can always tell how great a place is by the line outside the door at all times during the day. This place has lines for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But the line moves quickly :) Breakfast...

Iowa City staple for sure. Its really just a great diner, but there's nothing too special about the Hamburg except it has cheap greasy food. Staff is nice and generally quick. Every time I have gone,...

Don't believe the hype. Yes, it's an Iowa City institution. Yeah, politicians come here and choke down an omelette or two for the cameras during caucus season. That doesn't mean that the food is...

Great atmosphere, good food, mostly good service. I liked the place so much, I went back for a fucking t-shirt that I haven't worn since because it's too big and I've been too lazy to alter it.

Good eats here. It's an Iowa City institution, apparently. But I'm not sure I get the hype. The food here is good - not fantastic, but solid. The omelettes are tasty, the pancakes not so much. I...

The 'Burg is an Iowa City must-do. The pie shakes are pretty out of control-- try the rhubarb-- and the staff is really cool and on top of things. It's your typical greasy spoon, double on the...

The Burg is an absolute must-do. It's a greasy spoon classic American diner, with the added bonus of serving food that is simple and super tasty. A couple Presidents have eaten there (as evidenced...

Hands down, Iowa City's finest restaurant. When a president comes to town, he doesn't stop and get a burger at the McDonald's on the 1-80 on ramp, he goes to Hamburg Inn. There's a reason the wait...
