The Pines Pizza and Pub 4100 River Ridge Drive Northeast, Cedar Rapids, IA 52402

"Had to call to get the door opened. It was 10 minutes past the time listed that they are opened. Sat and waited for a hour and a half. We were the second group to order and everyone at the bar had their food before us. No one came to apologize, offer us compensation or give us an explanation. We FINALLY got our food after we asked for it in to-go boxes. Once we got our food we shoveled it in as fast as we could. The food was great but not worth the money or the wait we had to endure. Right before we left we finally got an explanation on why service was so slow. We still were never apologized to or compensated. So disappointed"

"I thought we would try something new to us, since I always eat the same places. We started with pepperjack wontons and cheese curds for appetizers and followed it with an awesome pizza and zookie! My fuzzy naval was good too! Welcoming atmosphere, great food and the staff was fabulous too. The new owner came out and talked to us for several minutes, and he was super inviting. Sorry, forgot his name! This place is right across from Twin Pines golf course and has changed names and owners a few times. Be sure to go try The Pines out so they stick around! Great local option, in that area!"

"We had a great experience at The Pines. The wait staff was amazing, and the chef came out to check on us as well. The food was really good. Absolutely zero complaints. The vibe was fun. There are several tv's for watching sports. We will return to try the pizza and wings."

"What a surprise! We came for a small family gathering for lunch in the separate dining room. The owner came in to visit with us and give his condolences. The service was great and the food was wonderful. Amber was a great server. Very attentive and patient with us. The chicken salad salad was really good. It was full of cranberries and pecans. House made ranch dressing tastes great. Most of their foods are prepared in house. Everyone loved their meals. We'll have to come back the next time we're in town visiting family. Check it out."

"Got the calzone and it had mushrooms. I asked for onions not mushroom. The mushrooms smelled and tasted funny. The service was ok but didn’t check in after the food was delivered and never checked on refills of water or Pepsi. The marinara sauce was paste and hard to dip. The chili cheeseburger was good but well done. I asked for medium well. Not really impressed."
