After years of limited eating options in the Waterloo Arts district, things started turning around in the summer of 2023 when Doinks Burger Joint opened on the corner of Waterloo and east 156th. It offers a small but choice menu focused on smash burgers, but vegetarians should stop in too: there’s a black bean and beet burger on the menu along with sides such as spicy pickle salad. The cozy place features a handful of booths and bar seating but of course you can order to go.
