Edith Lucielle's Bait Shack & Wing Depot

This place is awesome! Shantell was our waitress and greeted us as we walked in with, “Sit wherever you’d like!” The wings were great, the breaded tenderloin was delicious and the special wonderful.

This place is great! Don’t be put off by the outside of the restaurant. We pulled in and I said “we’re not eating here “ but it was recommended to us so we went in and the decor is amazing - very “hickish”! Food and service are excellent!

When we first pulled up I was immediately reminded of a 1950’s rural roadside dinner. I knew right then that I had to investigate further and was rewarded for my curiosity by coming up to the front door which clearly stated the rules….i laughed and declared my immediate affection for the place and I hadn’t even entered! The ambiance was immediately warm and kitschy, but it made sense and wasn’t overwhelming. Our waitress Zoe( amazing, wonderful, hilarious) informed us that we could sit anywhere and when our place was chosen she informed us of the policy about getting a first time “ virgin” shot! My group and I exclaimed with excitement and when the shot was taken I realized it was called that because I was the virgin, much to my friends delight and everyone laughed at me! lol When the food arrived it was amazing! Nothing was overcooked or dry or unseasoned or over seasoned! I would gladly bring anyone and everyone here! It is a hidden gem that needs to be on diner, drive ins and dives!!! Please if you’re in Cedar Rapids and hungry go here! You won’t regret it!

Your first thought when pulling up to this place is "do i really want to eat here?" The style of the building really does look like a shack but it is a fun place to eat and unique. This is the kind of place I look for when on vacation. I got one of their specialty burgers and fries and it was almost all I could do to eat it all. I'm normally one who complains about not getting enough food but that wasn't an issue here. For that much food, the prices were very reasonable. On my nine day vacation, this was the best value for my dollar. The urinal was cut from a keg and unless you are leaning all the way in to it, you will pee all over the floor. While it was unique, it was a little gross.

This is the coolest little restaurant that has the most unique decor. The food is amazing. The waitress took the time to tell us all about Edith Lucille's and the menu since it was our first visit. We are definitely going back and look forward to trying other items on the menu. I highly recommend going her if you love trying cool restaurants with an eye-catching atmosphere and amazing food.
