Hole-In-The-Wall Restaurants In Iowa
Which restaurants serve the foods Iowa is known for?
Iowa's top dishes are prime rib, fried catfish, and breaded pork tenderloins - and luckily, you can find outrageously tasty versions of these signature dishes in a lot of places! The best prime rib in Iowa can be found in bars like The Odebolt Bowling Alley, Landmark in Williamsburg (near Iowa City), The Big Steer in Altoona, and That Place in Conrad. Breaded pork tenderloins are the talk of the town in St. Olaf and Winterset, where you'll find St. Olaf's Tap and Northside Cafe. Other great BPT's can be found at Grid Iron Grill in Webster City, Goldie's in Prairie City, and the Buffalo Tavern in Burlington. If you're looking for catfish, it's hard to beat Bluff Lake Catfish Farm in Maquoketa.
What are the most unique restaurants in Iowa?
When it comes to unique restaurants, it's hard to top Uncle Buck's Fish Bowl in Altoona! This ocean-themed bowling alley and sports bar is fun for the whole family. Candyland Station in Grinnell is a retro-themed spot that will make you feel like a kid again, and Waterloo's Galleria de Paco & Catacomb Lounge will make you feel like you've walked into an art gallery.
What are the most iconic restaurants in Iowa?
Iowa's most iconic restaurants include landmarks like The Hamburg Inn No. 2, Breitbach's Family Dining (the oldest restaurant in the state!), Taylor's Maid-Rite in Marshalltown, and Butch's River Rock Cafe. Each one serves up the homestyle, hearty food that the Hawkeye State is known for! Hickory Park in Ames practically invented BBQ, and The General Store Pub in Anamosa is a historic riverfront spot that was featured in a Grant Wood painting. Fong's Pizza might be a little younger than most of the most legendary Iowa restaurants, but it's quickly made a name for itself as a standout when it comes to Hawkeye State restaurants - you can thank their crab rangoon pizza for that!
