A place that combines the speed of self service with the pleasure of being waited on. A place where you can have a fast meal when you're in a hurry or a leisurely one when you're not. A place where the kids can have what they want (like hamburger or fried chicken) and you can get what you want. A place where the waitresses are efficient and friendly, refill your coffee cup as many times as you want, and don't expect a tip. And finally, a place where prices are reasonable.

There is such a place in Waterloo-Cedar Falls. It's called Bishops, and it's located at Crossroads and College Square Shopping Centers.
