Zolly’s Grill

The family and I found ourselves spending a little time in Iowa City for a weekend. Never had we thought that we needed to stop somewhere in Iowa City to get a bite to eat. That is, before we stumbled into this restaurant. This restaurant is a little hole in the wall that was pleasantly surprising. What’s that saying? Great things come in small packages? The saying holds true tenfold in this situation. Our family will be stopping by here again. Being unfamiliar with the items on the menu, my family and I had several questions. The cashier was extremely polite and even more helpful. It may have been the owner, because the cashier was also helping cook the food as well, but don’t quote me on it. The bathrooms are clean and well-maintained. I will say there were a few spots that could be re

I recommend Zolly’s Grill. I ordered the spicy gyro chicken sandwich with added onion and Swiss cheese, plus a side of spicy popcorn chicken chunks—both were absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. The atmosphere leans more toward takeout. There is seating available, but several booths are ripped and the interior feels a bit run down. Service was decent overall. I came in late with about an hour left before closing, and the owner or staff member was seated at a table, but he got up almost immediately, took my order, and the food came out fast. My only real hesitation about returning would be the price, but the food quality itself was solid.

If you're not from Iowa City, this is a place I 100% recommend visiting. The food is delicious. I ordered a cheeseburger without onions, but they accidentally added them. I went to the register, and they fixed it very kindly and with a great attitude. The service is definitely excellent. The place is clean and has a pleasant atmosphere. You can eat there or go to the food court in the plaza.

I was in town with a couple of friends and we found this place through a Google search. It was easy to find a d with a parking garage close by, very simple to park and walk to. The place is small and gives off a "greasy diner" vibe but don't let that scare you. The workers are extremely nice and eager to help you. There wasn't a line or a wait when we went so the staff were quick to greet us and take our order. They answered our questions and after we were done eating asked how everything was. They serve some interesting options here, mostly burgers, gyros, and other handheld options with some fries. I got a gyro cheeseburger and it was very good. The combination sounded interesting enough for me to try and I am glad I did. The burger comes with a load of toppings and the portion

I recently visited Zolly’s Grill and had a great experience. I ordered the double cheeseburger, and it exceeded my expectations. The patties were juicy, the cheese was perfectly melted, and everything came together very well. What stood out to me most was discovering that Zolly’s offers halal options, which is something I truly appreciated and was pleasantly surprised by. The menu offers a good variety at reasonable prices, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming. I would definitely recommend Zolly’s Grill and will be returning in the future.
