I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something a little nicer. Everything came out quick and our service was very attentive and friendly.

                                                              Bauer Kitchen is our favorite date night out in Waterloo! Highly recommend checking it out!!! Their food is consistently great, and service equally awesome! We had the Chicken Rigatoni, and Fried Chicken sandwich with fries and house made ketchup. There was a very minor hiccup with the pasta dish not being very hot so we asked if could be heated up. They happily made a new dish quickly which was excellent! They also give us an added boxed treat when we left for any inconvenience, the most delicious butter tarts you'll ever have! This was honestly unnecessary as was so minor, but is super nice and the type of thing Bauer does as they really care and want you to enjoy everything! Kudos to Bauer staff and friendly long-time Management it was great to see you!:-)

One of the best aspects is that plant-based people have lots of options (breaded chick'n burger and fries also gets rave reviews). Service is always excellent and I think we had Kennedy last night (?).
