This is a rather unique place in Cedar Falls, IA. The Maid-Rite chain has many locations, but this one is a true diner setup with lots of small town charm. The standard Maid Rite is a loose meat sandwich with fixings. I had the Cheese Rite which adds American cheese. It does not need cheese which gets lost in the mix. The meat is seasoned, tasty, and overflowing, but not overly salty or spicy. The fries were nothing special. I would recommend some other side instead. Well worth a stop!

This place is amazing! They simply don't make them like this anymore. A throwback to the lunch counter of years past. I for one hope it never changes . Daily specials, homemade pies and cookies. Maid Rites are the best I've had. The breakfast is cooked to order on a four burner stove. If you go for lunch on a busy day you just might see some sparks flying. They have all worked with one and other for a long time. It's kind of like having lunch in your great aunts kitchen around the holidays. A true classic.

I was so disappointed that they do not take reservations or supply Valet parking... Just kidding. Love Maid Rite. Not only is all their food great, but only bar stools along a counter makes it seem like I am in a time machine. Love it. Thank you.

It's like stepping into the 1950s. I was greeted with "what can I get you Hun". The bar was full of strangers having conversations with each other. I placed an order to go and waited as people dined on loose meat sandwhich, potato salad and pie. They have a full menu but most get the maid rite sandwhich. They had 4 people working the lunch crowd. All interacting with the customers. Great food, friendly device and truly a unique atmosphere! Definitely worth a stop!

This Grand Dame of Diners has been open in downtown Cedar Falls since 1947. Maid-Rite was founded in 1926 in Muscatine, Iowa, by Fred Angell. A butcher by trade, Angell created a recipe for his loose-meat sandwich that a friend said was made right. He opened his Maid-Rite restaurant in Muscatine, the first fast food restaurant. Angell offered car-hop service at his second restaurant, a concept copied by White Castle and A&W not long after. Angell sold four franchises by 1930, which are still in operation. Several of the original Maid-Rite stores are extant and are historical landmarks - the Maid-Rite in Springfield, Illinois offered the first drive-through window. While this particular restaurant is not on the National Registry of Historic Places, it is certainly a local landmark. A throw back to diners before the days of portion control, rigid menus and cartoon mascots, this restaurant serves up Maid-Rite sandwiches the same it was done 65 years ago. A classic Coca-Cola button sign on the roof belies the fact that the restaurant pours Pepsi products, but it's still a great vintage sign. The building also sports neon signage, another great throwback to earlier times. While the diner is showing it's age, it is clean and maintained. If you're looking for a fancy dining experience with uniformed wait staff, silverware, china and linen napkins, you're in the wrong place. On the other hand, if you would like a great sandwich, don't want to spend a lot of money and relish a dining adventure, come'on over to Maid-Rite in Cedar Falls!

I have loved this place since I was in high school. When I come to visit Cedar Falls, I stay at the Black Hawk Hotel and have breakfast (and sometimes lunch) at the Maid-Rite every day. The people who work there--the owner Penne, manager Sharon, and various and sundry other employees are friendly and entertaining and greet their regulars by name. It's much fun to sit at the counter and watch the action as they make food to order and chat with customers. There is no better people-watching in town. The food is fresh and delicious. Special shout-out to the many kinds of homemade pies and hashbrowns. This Maid-Rite represents the best of Iowa for me and many others.

Maid Rite is a small hidden gem diner located in downtown Cedar Falls . The food is cooked fresh and it tastes amazing. I highly recommend the Cheese rite sandwich and french fries. They also serve homemade pie which is fantastic! The staff is very fast and friendly, along with being very attentive and sociable. Maid Rite is a great place to eat as well as a place that you can take a step back in time and enjoy the company of members of the Cedar Falls community:)
