BANDANA'S BAR-B-Q REVIEWS
They have smaller portions available if you're not very hungry. So smart!! Love their brisket and garlic bread. Husband had ribs and loved them. I have never had a bad meal at Bandana's!
First visit and was surprised how great the food tasted! Had the burnt ends lunch. It was delicious and perfectly made. The five different choices of sauces is sure to be a hit for your personal taste.
Has a small-town BBQ restaurant feeling with amazing food and a variety of BBQ sauce styles available. Worth every penny. I will return for their food alone, but the service is also appreciated. Recognized every time we come in which is also appreciated.

SUGARFIRE REVIEWS
First visit today to pick up carry out Staff was very helpful. I hadn't seen any reviews on the chicken biscuit sandwich. I am so glad I ordered it! So good and blows any fast food crispy chicken sandwich to the curb. The beans and mac and cheese were amazing, my husband really liked the smoked wings. Those were really good dipped in the white bbq sauce. Will definitely return to try other menu items!
It's pretty good. My sandwich was a little on the cold side and it's pricey. I'd definitely go back though, they have a unique assortment of fountain sodas to choose from. I love the red cream soda and their root beer.
Friendly staff, clean facility. I ordered the brisket, pulled pork, coleslaw and baked beans. My husband had the same with the exception of cornbread instead of coleslaw. My experience was excellent.

COUNTY LINE CATERING & BBQ REVIEWS
I accidentally discovered this place while walking around downtown. It was a good thing I decided to go in, because it’s now one of my favorite restaurants in Cedar Rapids. The staff is very friendly, the food is AMAZING, and they are very generous with portions. Next time you want to try somewhere new for your lunch break, go here! Definitely worth the money!
We got married last Saturday and the food was delicious!! I had so many compliments on the food! Barb was great about communicating and answering questions. They handled everything and everything went smoothly! I couldn’t have asked for a better caterer! Thanks for everything!!!
Food is very good. Wait staff is friendly and it’s a fun place to eat. Their catering, County Line Catering, did an awesome job with our wedding reception! I’d highly recommend them for your next event!!
