My husband and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. I had the Mac and cheese burger and it was delicious. My hubby had the porky pig and cheese fries and enjoyed it immensely. The portions are worth the money. Two meals in one for me. Will be sure to go again and again. Oh and let’s not forget the cheese sticks. Pepper Jack cheese sticks were beyond delicious.

Bacon Mac N' Cheese
First off, the restaurant staff was super responsive to our concerns, no blame or shade! Just honest impressions.
Restaurant is small with only high top tables except one large table in the middle. No bother to us, but may be an issue if someone needed a more accessible option. Cute “woodsy” decor. Was a bit surprised that it was a walk up to order counter, but no bother. Nice variety of food to select from menu board.
We ordered an order of the cheese logs, the little foot tenderloin with fries, and the monte cristo sandwich with fries. The food was flavorful but quite greasy, especially the monte cristo (I know it’s a friend sandwich but the bread was soaked in grease). Husband really liked the little foot tenderloin - it was quite heavily breaded but the meat was thick and juicy. Daughter did not care for the thick breading. The cheese logs looked delicious but were not done/cold in the middle. When we mentioned that to the server, he offered a new order or a refund. We said that neither was necessary, but he insisted and gave us a gift certificate for $25 for an $8 appetizer! Very impressed!
Service was great overall - lots of people “checking” on us and making sure we were good throughout. Very friendly!
We’ll probably give it some time and try again - maybe these small food issues will be worked out over time!

Littlefoot Tenderloin
Bigfoot Betty's just opened in Downtown Cedar Falls. It is accessible from the parking lot at 5th and Washington, or from Mainstreet through Sarah's Espresso Cafe. This cafe has seating for 42 people on 4, 6, or 8 person tables. It is new and clean, with a moderately interesting decor. They have nice big windows for lots of light. They do offer take out.
The menu offers mostly fried foods, with some non-fried sides and salads. Prices are about as expected, though their portions are more generous than many place charging more. The Shroom Burger (1/2 pound!) was massive with a generous portion of mushrooms. It was tasty, but I wished they had offered smaller burger options. The Wisconsin Cheese soup was tasty but not very hot. The Monte Cristo my wife had was also tasty but greasy, and it came with a mountain of French Fries.
The brown paper towel roll on the table was not very suitable as a napkin and was hard to tear off. I wish they had more than fountain drinks and water for beverages. Staff was pleasant, but still learning the business.
Overall, Bigfoot Betty's offers another choice in downtown Cedar Falls for a large, quick, high calorie meal, but it won't be a frequent stop for us.

Shroom
First time here, the place is great. I am glad that we’re able to bring something in and utilize this space. Highly recommend, staff is great. Only one complaint and it’s a funny one. They should set up a station for customers to put their dirty dishes, this will take some of the workload off of the staff.
Second time we ate here, even better than the first. Will continue to support this place, keep up the good work!!! The Popper burger was amazing. 🤤

House Salad
The tenderloin I got was soaked in grease and not even crunchy and rancid smelling grease and the onion rings were the same! So greasy that the onions didn’t hold the soggy greasy breading! And after I got home I was sick for 2 days ! I put in box to go and threw it away once I got home and as you can see I only took a couple bites. The tomato on top was a sorry looking thing and lettuce limp so won’t be going here or recommending anyone go here. Only 2 other people in the place also so being busy was not an excuse

Bigfoot Betty's absolutely nails it. They have a tight menu that they are able to cook quickly, but also deliciously. Service is always friendly and helpful. Definitely a place I would recommend if you want a casual meal without the chaos of a larger restaurant.

Sweet Potato Fries
My husband and I met up for lunch - it was our first time at this relatively new restaurant. I've been eyeballing the menu for about two weeks and we finally had a good day to go check it out. Easy access to the restaurant off the 5th street parking lot. From Main, you have to walk through Sarah's coffee shop. We both had the Littlefoot Tenderloin. Very good! It's a thick and meaty tenderloin - i liked the breading. The bun was a little greasy but I didn't think overly so. Even the small tenderloin was pretty big, in my opinion. I cut it in half and will have the rest for lunch tomorrow. I did fries as my side - those were also very good. Good breading, crunch on the outside, but soft and potato-y on the inside. We did a side of the cheese logs, just to try them. Also tasty! Again, great breading. The cheese was warm and melty. Maybe a little bland but that would probably be fixed by getting the pepper jack next time. Service was quick. We got our food right away, and had employees check in on us several times. We're definitely going to go back! There's several things on their menu that I'm looking forward to trying.

Fries
Let's start with the not so good, tenderloin not crispy or seasoned, Monte Cristo absolutely drenched in oil, to the point of making the bread soggy.
The good news is they have the same sweet potato fries as Brass Tap next door, which are stellar loved the layout and theme of the space. Menu was creative and full of potential. Staff was so kind and welcoming.
I'm planning on coming back and giving it another chance, because what I saw was good enough to deserve another try. Hopefully I simply had the misfortune of ordering their two worst dishes.

Nice new casual place in downtown Cedar Falls. Primarily sandwiches on the menu though there are several other dishes. I hade the “Littlefoot” tenderloin and it was plenty of food. Sandwiches also include a side. The sweet potato fries are really great. The tenderloin is hand made and the breading is light and really good…One of the better tenderloins I have had, certainly in the immediate area.
The place is bright and clean with high tables. Most are large enough to seat 6-8 persons so it’s a great place to bring a group.
The menu offers some other very interesting choices which will draw us back again to try.

Sweet Potato Fries
So me and the girlfriend came here due to her suggestion because the place we originally picked was closed and wow she made a great pick! Staff was very friendly, food didn't take long to wait for, and the food was delicious. The little foot tenderloin is not your standard restaurant breading, it's actually got some flavor! If you want a good tenderloin locally this is a stop I'd highly recommend!
Just a quick note, the restaurant is on the back side of the building so if you come park on the back. Google maps will put you on main Street.
