in the last weekPullman Bar & Diner feels like a modern diner that still respects the comfort food idea at its core. The burger was the first thing I noticed on the menu because people kept mentioning it. When it arrived it was messy in the right way with melted cheese and a soft bun that soaked up all the juices. One bite and I understood why it shows up in so many conversations about Iowa City food. I also tried the fried cheese curds which were hot and stretchy with a crispy coating. The house fries were perfectly salty and a little thicker than the usual diner fry which made them extra satisfying. Someone at the table ordered the chicken sandwich and I ended up grabbing a bite of that too. It had a crunchy crust and a tangy sauce that balanced everything. The room had a laid back energy with people lingering over drinks and plates. It felt like a place where you come for a quick meal but somehow stay longer than planned.
