What began as a Western-themed restaurant in 1967 has evolved into a favorite upscale venue for business travelers, special events including weddings, and guests in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Complimentary buffet breakfast: fresh scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon or ham, pancakes, French toast sticks or hash browns.
These items rotate daily and are enjoyed in the relaxing poolside setting of the Goldzone Cafe. The Longbranch was conceived by Vince and Mary Ellen DeLong and, since 1967, has maintained a level of quality that has earned many awards and recognition. The family-run property has evolved over the years and continues to deliver on the goal to provide great food and legendary service at reasonable prices.

Services
Sensing a desire for additional restaurants in the Cedar Rapids-Marion area, Vince and Mary Ellen De Long conceived the idea of an eating establishment with a western theme in 1967. A Collins Radio engineer by trade, Vince did much of the construction on the original restaurant himself after work and on weekends.
Outstanding Experience at Budget Price. As I've shared elsewhere on TripAdvisor, I don't frequent Best Westerns, but this Cedar Rapids, IA property is a hidden gem on the northeast side of this Eastern Iowa metro!. Great area for the Kids. We selected this hotel to have a winter swimming vacation for my kids.

The restaurant was very nice, clean and fancy. The waiter was excellent and we had great service. The master chef even came and talked to us! He is very cool too. The food was excellent. The food was prepared perfectly and looked great. The steak is high quality, tender and delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant and it is expensive. It’s worth it.

We ate here for a family birthday celebration. We had a large group but they were very accommodating. I had the ribeye and it came out just as I had ordered. Everyone seemed to be satisfied with their meals. Spouse had prime rib and it was delicious as well. Would be nice to offer a salad with the meal vs charging extra since the price is a little higher.

First time here and the food was good. We did have a large group and I'm not sure they are used to having a group so large. Some of the sides came out at room temp, however still tasted good. Server was enjoyable, but had a hard time when food came out making sure the right steak with the correct level of done was given to the person it was for so musical plates was a thing. Enjoyable.
