We had spicy chicken combo, I had mine with onion rings. That hot sauce is slept on! I’d 100% buy it by the bottle. And the onion rings better than any I’ve ever had. The vibes are immaculate.

I’ve been twice now, and ordered the fried tenderloin combo. The people working are so friendly, and the food is delicious! A wonderful place to have on the east side of town.

Very fun atmosphere. Like DQ, but witty much better food and much more sophisticated atmosphere. Always immaculately clean, friendly service, and good food.

Cracken’s is awesome! Think Dairy Queen on steroids. My favorites are the honey mustard fried chicken, and the family secret potato salad is .

Super clean shop & yummy food! Honey Mustard Chicken Sandwich wasn’t just a Sysco chicken breast on a Sysco bun. The fried chicken was cooked fresh and seasoned well. The bun was a fluffy, tasty kaiser (I think?) with corn meal on top! Staff is super nice. Menu board is positioned a bit awkwardly, but they’ve got a hi-tech register system that worked in a flash. I’m going to have to go back for a corn dog, fries and soft serve!

For a place that appears branded as a franchise, they sure have a personal down-home feel! They made a special Tenderloin (get ’em fried) for my grandma who is partial to old-school Midwestern staples. Best tenderloin in town these days!

Great food and ice cream! The owner and his mom are awesome couldn’t ask for nicer people. Glad this little hidden gem is on the east side of Iowa City.

This is a takeout spot, for the most part. It was perfect for my picky eaters, and our experience with the staff was truly fantastic. Thanks for being so quick and having good recommendations.

This place is amazing. Owners ran the Funcrest the last few summers so it’s the same menu with several additions:salads, wraps, corn dogs, and more. Where else am I going to get a hand dipped corn dog?

Great raspberry shakes and French fries. The place is clean, nicely laid out and the customer service is amazing. Great place to have between City and Regina on the east side of town.
