Have you tried Smitty's on Army Post Road? It is my understanding that they have been there since 1964.
I have not been there but I hear it's good. Only a couple blocks from Nick's, so a person can try both and compare

A couple of thoughts after living in Iowa City for a couple years.
1. If you've never been to Amish country, I'd make some stops around Kalona, IA which is just south of Iowa City. Any local gas station will have a map of local farms/stores selling goods.
2. John's Grocery in Iowa City has a beer selection that will rival almost anywhere.
3. If you're making your way over from Burlington on US34, cruise around Fairfield, IA - home to the Maharishi School of Management and the golden domes. An interesting place in the middle of the corn fields of Iowa. Also, one of the few places outside of the college towns where you can get a decent vegetarian or vegan meal.
3A. The American Gothic House (from the famous painting) is close too
4. If you're coming from the northwest, stop in the Ice Cream capital of the world - Le Mars
5. The Amana colonies are also a neat place to spend an afternoon - big family-style meals will help you prep for all the walking at the rally!
