That Place Restaurant Is An Old-School Steakhouse In Iowa That Hasn’t Changed In Decades

When it comes to a good cut of meat, Iowans know best. One of the top 10 beef-producing states in the country, Iowans have a certain fondness for steak. Prime rib or porterhouse, filet or ribeye, sauce or no sauce; when it comes to steaks, there's no shortage of great options in The Hawkeye State. And if you're looking for an old-school steakhouse experience -- we're talking dark wood walls, moody lighting, and eclectic decor -- you must visit That Place Restaurant in Conrad, Iowa.

Located at the intersection of County Road D67 and Highway 14, That Place has been serving up fantastic steaks to Iowans for decades.

That Place is an authentic, old-school steakhouse. The inside is a total vibe; a time capsule from another era.

Its walls are adorned with bumper stickers and business cards. Just like rings on an old tree, these layers of bric-a-brac reveal the history of That Place Restaurant.

That Place is the kind of restaurant where the menus are printed on paper; the menu items all long-time favorites.

Appetizers are served in baskets, and are classic steakhouse favorites: onion rings, mini shrimp, french fries.

Of course, steak is the name of the game at this restaurant, and Iowans know they can come to That Place for a perfect steak and potato supper.

One of the most popular steaks on the menu is the prime rib, which is only available on Friday and Saturday nights. Prepped with a savory dry rub the night before, this steakhouse does prime rib to perfection.

(Steaks are *always* served with a potato and Texas toast, of course.)

On certain nights, those looking to mix things up can order the fried catfish special, which That Place does right.

Even the dessert options at this restaurant are old-school; here you'll find dishes like Oreo dirt cake...

...and even Jell-O!

That Place Restaurant is proof that you don't have to be flashy or Insta-perfect to draw in customers. (Though, there's certainly an undeniable, effortless charm to this old-school steakhouse.)

All you have to do is make really great food, year after year.
