Charming, unique, and perfect is the best way to describe Rapid Creek Cidery. I would highly recommend them for any celebration. The setting, the barn, the food, and the staff will not disappoint. I can't wait to go back!
Was so impressed with the menu and cocktails. The butternut squash stuffed with mushroom parm bread pudding, lamb burger and chicken liver pate were simply over the top. Loved the Pisco sour cocktail and will definitely be back. Best meal around the area I️ have had in quite sometime.
From the minute we arrive until we head out the door Rapid Creek Cidery staff offer warm, professional, Iowa hospitality! The more than delicious food overflows with unique flavors in every bite and the presentation is a work of art! Our new Iowa City/SE Iowa favorite restaurant! Thank you to all of the RCC staff for making our visits so delightful!����
We had our wedding here on Friday, November 10,2017. It was the best choice we could of made for the rustic theme we wanted. It makes for beautiful pictures and was the greatest experience. The food was phenomenal! Katie was so helpful and anything I had questions on helped throughout the last few months. I highly recommend for dinner or wedding! We loved everything!
An awesome place; huge restaurant to accommodate private weddings and special events; excellent food, locally purchased or made there; very good service (Kara). Iowa City's best kept secret!
Just for married here this past weekend and it was absolutely perfect! I would highly recommend Rapid Creek for a wedding venue, staff was excellent, food was fantastic!
Great food, atmosphere and service. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice evening out! Perfect for special occasions.
I had an excellent birthday dinner at Rapid Creek Cidery on August 9. I ordered Great Lakes Whitefish with Carolina Gold Rice and Peas, Creole Sauce Piquant, and Blue Crab. My husband had Braised Pork Shoulder with Barbecue Field Peas, Collards, and Grits.
Both entrees were delicious and extremely flavorful. I highly recommend this beautiful, spacious restaurant, with lovely views of the Iowa countryside. Though there were many people there, the service was great, it did not feel crowded, and our food arrived without delay. A++
This place is awesome. Great original menu, wonderful cocktails and the view!!!
Went here after apple picking and love everything about it! We didn’t have a reservation/ couldn’t get one last minute so we waited outside with a line of others for when they opened. Food was wonderful and space is really nice too. One of my new favorite places!
Recommendation: Make a reservation in advance or be there right when they open.
Great atmosphere! Amazing and extensive drink menu. Food and dessert were top notch! We will be back 😊
This is one of my favorite places to eat in Iowa City. The food is locally sourced and the atmosphere is lovely, especially if you sit outside right when twilight is approaching.
I've never had a bad meal here. The dishes are interesting and creative, like the blueberry donut bread pudding I uploaded a picture of. Since they used locally sourced items, your are not going to find the widest selection of options (generally around 6 entrees), but there is something for everyone, including vegans and vegetarians.
What a wonderful place! My husband and I wanted to try a new place. So we decided on Wilson's. The service was great. Rachel our server took such good care of us. My husband ordered the burger. I had the evening special - the lobster roll. We shared a flight of cider and an order of fries. Everything was so good. The fries came out fresh and hot. Loved the flight. It gave us a chance to try more then one cider. Yes we will be going back.
Didn't have a chance to get the full plate shot, but this should be enough to make you hungry!
Was there for a friends wedding, the meat was so tender it literally fell apart. I'd give the meal a 10, it was delicious!
Outstanding. Every dish and every drink we had was exceptional. Grounds and building are lovely. Service was good and unintrusive. They were out of a couple things by the time of our 7:30 dinner.
I’ve been to Wilson’s Ciderhouse a handful of times for dinner, and have always been impressed with the ambiance and quality of food. Yesterday, I went for brunch and can say it’s hands down the best brunch I’ve had in the Iowa City area. The portions are perfect and every single thing we ordered was bursting with flavor. The four of us ordered the savory breakfast turnovers, biscuits and gravy, grilled herb chicken thigh sandwich, the orchard breakfast, and apple cider donuts. Let’s just say… there weren’t any leftovers! I highly, highly recommend making your way out to Wilson’s Ciderhouse for brunch. Make sure you stop at their adorable market shop after too!
Generous 4 stars here. Great food and cider, but the prices for the food are crazy for what you get. Service was slow to start, but it was a beautiful day and we were with friends so didn't really mind (was not busy at all when we went). We may be back just for drinks but not the insanely marked up food.
I'm going to be generous and give this a 5, if there was a 4.5 that's what I would choose instead. Let's start with the good. The food is great here. I had the quail and etouffe on two different visits. Both were excellent. I also tried my girlfriend's dish, a pork shoulder with apples, which was good as well. We also had appetizers and dessert and everything was good, I can't remember precisely which other than the apple turnovers. Next, the snowbird is a fantastic cocktail but the other cocktails I tried were not very good. My girlfriend's flight of their limited release ciders was just OK. The other flight of their basic ciders is stronger imo but you can get them in cans at any grocery store around here. Lastly, the atmosphere here is fantastic. It'd be a very nice wedding venue, basically looks like a converted barn with a large open seating area. Service was good enough.
