Johnson's - Elkader

The food was excellent. I held my wedding reception at this restaurant and the staff were very helpful. The restaurant is clean and the staff are friendly.

Had a hamburger and a cod sandwich. Both were great. Place was clean. However the staff was not very friendly. Seemed like customers was a bother for them.

I have eaten here since I was a kid and the food and service have always been wonderful. I go home once a year and always make a point to eat as much as I can there. It's run by the owners sons and they have carried on the recipes and home town kindness that their mother did.

We were recommended to this restaurant but should have checked the reviews and decided for ourselves. We both opted for the buffet, with the standout items being the salad bar and dessert section. However, the hot dishes on the buffet lacked flavor. The selection included fried shrimp, fried chicken, fried fish, ribs, and soups. Next time we visit, we will try 2 Mits based on a recommendation from a Cedar Rapids local.

This restaurant serves delicious comfort food with great service and tasty ice cream! The place is very clean and has a local feel. I love the salad buffet and the mouthwatering mashed potatoes, fried chicken, and corn. I definitely recommend this place!
