Pork tenderloin sandwiches are one of Iowa's top food attractions. Pounded until they're almost impossibly flat and large, the massive sandwiches taste great and make for some amazing photos! In the small city of Ogden, Iowa, you'll find one of the state's best examples - along with a full menu of midwestern delicacies in a laid-back pub setting. Here's more on why you'll want to visit Lucky Pig Pub and Grill.

When you step inside The Lucky Pig Pub and Grill, it's like stepping back in time. Inside, you'll find great food and an old-school atmosphere that makes it one of Iowa's hidden gems.

The restaurant may only have been open since 2011, but its casual atmosphere and welcoming staff make it feel like an Ogden institution. The food has a traditional Iowa flair with a few modern twists.

Before you dig into the main attraction, why not start with a plate of the pub's signature wings? (With a beer to wash down that spicy sauce, of course!) Keep an eye out for their frequent special deals on this favorite appetizer.

But we know what you're really here for - the restaurant's famous pork tenderloin sandwich. It lives up to the hype, with a crisp crust covering meat that's been tenderized and flattened. You'll want a knife and fork for this one!

If that's not quite enough pork on your sandwich, The Lucky Pig has you covered. Porky's Revenge takes that same massive pork tenderloin and adds a heaping portion of barbecued pulled pork and crispy bacon.

The Lucky Pig offers much more than just pork tenderloin. Their dinner menu features tender prime rib that can compete with any local steakhouse.

The restaurant has also developed a strong reputation for its barbecue. Their smoky, flavorful ribs come with your choice of sides including sweet baked beans.

The Lucky Pig is also known for its seasonal specials. Irish eyes are smiling every time March rolls around and the corned beef and cabbage returns to the menu.

A meal at this Ogden favorite isn't complete without dessert, so don't miss out on a slice of their famous chocolate cream pie.
