Joensy's is in Solon, about 10 miles North of Iowa City. If you go to Joensy's, get a breaded tenderloin, or maybe a Boss Hogg, which is a tenderloin with bacon on it. These tenderloins are huge, and really good. If you have room for dessert, they also have really cheap pie.

Love, love, love Oasis for both their falafel and French fries. They use Asoya oil, which makes them taste even better.

Granted, we haven't eaten dinner here, but the lunch buffet made me decide never to come back! The food may be okay if one has never eaten good Indian food, but for those of us who have it was awful. This muck was spice-less, boring, and visually unappealing! "Bland" shouldn't be the word that comes to mind when one thinks "Indian food", but there wasn't a whiff of garam masala, cardamom, or much of anything else. The so-called Basmati rice was completely lacking in aroma or flavor... the best that could be said for it was that it soaked up the juices of the sorry dal. I realize that we're in the heartland, but surely we can do better!!

I guess if you're looking for something more authentic, the Oasis is the place to go. All the Turkish people I know go on and on about their pickles. And my roommate eats there a lot too. However, this boring old American actually prefers the gyros at a chain place like Pita Pit to the Oasis.

Some people seem to think very highly of the Atlas. I, on the other hand, think it is just an overpriced restaurant with average food. To make matters worse, the last time I went there, my beer wasn't even cold. You can't serve me warm beer and expect me to give your establishment a good review. I can understand things like food being a little overcooked, or something like that, but how hard is it to keep you beer chilled?

It looks like a cool place. It's a fairly small restaurant that looks like it was probably once a small bar. The prices look reasonable, until you get your food. The food is decent, but the portions are incredibly small. Do not go to Baldy's if you are hungry.

Peking Buffet is a great Chinese place. All you can eat for about $10. They have a good variety of buffet items, and while they are usually busy, there is almost always an open table.

I've never been there for dinner, but their lunch buffet is great. The tandoori chicken is awesome. The buffet used to be a great deal, before they raised their prices and stopped offering a student discount, it was all you could eat for under $6.00. Now it costs about $7.50, which still isn't too bad.

The food is really good, however I do find it a bit overpriced.

The Mill does have pretty good pizza, but I wouldn't classify them as an Italian restaurant. I would classify it as a bar that serves food. They have live music on a fairly regular basis. It tends to have better live music than many venues in Iowa City, but it's still rather hit or miss. My biggest problem with the Mill is with the usual clientele. They tend to be a mix of wannabe hippies and pseudo-academics (the ultra-liberal ones who tend to wear the big black plastic framed glasses, and who think they are vastly superior to anyone who lives more than a couple of miles from downtown).  The Mill can be enjoyable for a while, but the people there will eventually get on my nerves.
