You’ll Go Crazy For The Food At This Middle-Of-The-River Cafe On Iowa’s Only Island

Did you know that Iowa has an island city? While it might not be as tropical or volcanic as Oahu, Sabula is Iowa's island city and you'll want to make it a point to visit on a day trip this year.

Sabula, Iowa's only island city, is a gorgeous enclave in the middle of the Mississippi River.

If you visit Sabula, you'll want to make time to stop at the unassuming Sandbar Restaurant.

This humble cafe makes some of the best breakfast foods you'll ever try! Their pancakes are so big they practically fall off the plate.

You'll find generous portions of sausage and ham with each breakfast entree, and a meal here is the perfect way to start your morning.

If you got a later start to your day of exploring Sabula, stop by the Sandbar for lunch. Their burgers are mouthwatering, tasty, and smothered with a variety of tasty toppings.

After lunch, head over to the Korner Shop Ice Cream Shoppe! Sabula's original dessert shop is the perfect way to wrap up your trip.

Plan a day trip to Sabula, Iowa this spring or summer and experience island life right in the middle of the Mississippi River.

The Sandbar is located at 405 Broad St, Sabula, IA 52070. They are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
