The Sawmill
2301 pokegama avenue
Grand Rapids, MN
The Sawmill looks pretty chincy from outside (it has a giant saw on the billboard), but don't let this fool you....excellent steak. The Black Angus ribeye is fantastic, if you follow it up with the home made strawberry shortcake you can't go wrong. The biscuits they give you prior to dinner are absolutely amazing.
Zorbaz
32946 Crystal Springs Rd
Grand Rapids, MN
If you see a Zorbaz just stop. The pizza is excellent and usually they are located on or across from a lake so the view is great. They give away a muscle car every year and the locals are always present.

If for some reason you should find yourself in Cedar Rapids first you should ask yourself who you have recently pissed off, second you should visit 'The flying Wienie'.

The Flying Wienie is a definite hole in the wall dive joint, if you dig the aero scene this is the place for you....well if you also like downhome excellent food this may also be your place. If you go at lunch time expect a line out the front door, all of the locals hit this place early but its worth the wait. I had the double play which is two chicago style dogs with fries.....heart attack on a bun?....maybe, delicious.....definitely. The place has character, its a must hit next time I'm in town.
If the wife has you down I can also suggest (but of course have never been) the Lumber Yard II (where real men go to get wood). Its a.....shall we say all nude revenue and definitely worth a look. Will they give you a non-itemized receipt from American Express? I'm not sure, worth a shot though. Nothing says company man like a lapdance on the corporate card.
