George's Buffet

"You hambergers are great! You can get ANUTHING here. (As long as it is a hamberger.) Oh the hot nuts(cashews) are great too. The beer and other libations are COLD. The service is warm, fast and friendly. I will get some photos next time. They have old time moving-water beer signs."

"We went on a fairly busy night around 10pm; liked that they had a lot of seating, including outside. When we walked in the place smelled amazing, so much so I decided to order a burger. Which the bartender sighed and looked at the clock and rolled her eyes. The guy before me at the bar had ordered 8 burgers and he said they serve food until midnight. There were at least four people working behind the bar, so not sure why the attitude? WORST thing about the place: THE BURGER! A frozen patty was placed in some weird looking oven thing and not sure if the meat was so fatty or they use a water bath, but the texture was offputting and the flavor was worse! Even after not eating supper and drinking that evening, I couldn't finish my burger...that's how bad it was! I am still baffled where the good aroma was coming from, cause it surely was not the burgers! At least it was cheap though. I wanted to like this place...maybe I just came on the wrong night??"

"This iconic Iowa City bar is a required destination for all visitors to the University of Iowa. From the diversity on tap to the equanimity of the staff to the incredible burgers (which are nearly good enough to tempt this vegan to stray), George’s is a place you’ll always feel at home. Even when the lights come on at 2AM and they tell you to find a home."

"Legendary tavern. Nicest and friendliest dive bar in Iowa IMHO. Menu is cheeseburger or hamburger or cheese sandwich and chips. You really can't go wrong with that"

"Awesome,awesome cheeseburger! Moving, working, Hamms signs! Good selection of beers of course and this is one of the last old school Iowa city bars that has remained intact one of my top ten bars of all time."
