I’m not a morning person, and that goes double on the weekends when I get to sleep in. But you know what can make me break that rule? A delicious brunch that’s well-worth getting up and dressed when I would normally be hitting the snooze button! You’ll find a perfect example of this at BlackStone, which serves the best brunch in Iowa City every Sunday morning from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This modern, Southern-influenced American restaurant is always a great place to have lunch or dinner, but it really takes things to the next level for Sunday brunch each week. You can dig into some of the most indulgent breakfast preparations of French toast or pancakes around, or opt for a hearty meat-forward breakfast. And no matter what you choose, it’s always fun to match it with the constantly rotating and creative brunch cocktails. So read on and discover why this should be your next brunch destination!

BlackStone is a perfect example of a neighborhood restaurant, located in a laid-back area of Iowa City.
