Reviews for Goosetown Café in Iowa City, IA

Good food, decent drinks, awesome atmosphere and staff. For food, think stuff you'd want to be able to cook at home if it would... turn out half as tasty. Focaccia the perfect combo of stretchy, doughy and crusty. Read more

We took our family there while visiting my daughter at University of Iowa. The waitress we had was horrible. Our food was... mediocre at most. She got an item wrong on my grandson?s order we told her he wanted the toast and jam but she brought theFrench toast. Told her and she said she would take it off our ticket. When she brought our ticket it wasn?t taken off. I askedher about it and because my grandson tasted the French Toast she said she wouldn?t take it off. The manger did, he was niceabout it. We also had to wait over 40 minutes for our food and most of it was cold. The waitress walked by our table 4 timeswithout asking if we needed refills. We had to constantly ask her to fill our drinks. Never again!!! I don?t recommend it toanyone. Read more

Will need to try other options like the shakshuka, but I was extremely disappointed by the brioche French toast. It sounded so... good, but the bread was kind of grainy, almost close to corn bread. I thought brioche was light and fluffy. The lemon crèmefraiche sounded great but there wasn?t enough to taste it. And usually similar French toasts come with fresh berries whichwould?ve made a great addition. Would not order again /: Coffee was good and hot. Wait staff was awesome and attentive eventhough they were busy. They don?t have an espresso machine but said you can bring in your own lattes from nearby coffee shopslike Tru Coffee Read more

Wow! Goose town seems to get better and better with every visit. Such a beautiful interior space, the new menu is delicious and... the bartender (Krista) makes some amazing cocktails - great food and drink! Read more

Absolutely delicious. The flourless chocolate torte was unique and amazing. Loved the broccoli with romesco, and the burgers... were great. A little out of my budget for a regular experience, but on my list for special occasions. Read more

Very nice street seating restaurant. The food was amazing and the service was great. It was a nice stop to relax and refuel... before we continue 2 more hours on the road. A great piano player was in the background. Loved it all. Read more

Friendly staff but has a long wait time for a Sunday brunch - we arrived at 11:05AM, got seated at the table around 11:10, and... didn't get our food until around 12:30. The Eggs Benedict tastes average, while the desserts, Espresso Creme Brulee andChocolate Torte, need improvement. The restaurant also charges 4% convenience fee for credit card use. Read more
