Hickory Park is solid for cheese curds. If you wanna do fast food, Culver's does them pretty well too...
LOVE ME SOME CHEESE BALLS!
DQ isn't bad when you need a fix, haven't tried Culvers but I will have to now.

A&W used to have my favorite cheese curds until I tried BDubs new cheese curds. Hands down my favorite now! Culvers cheese balls are pretty good too.
Sports Page in Fort Dodge? I forgot about those. Those are amazing too! I probably rank BDubs and Sports Page's cheese balls together at #1

I love Cheese curds/balls!!! I wish there was a restaraunt in central Iowa that made the same type of cheese curds you get at the state fair. Although it is probably a good thing I haven't found it yet, because I would probably be about 150lbs heavier than I am now.
Culvers has good cheese balls, certain Kum n Go stores have good ones as well.

Love me some cheese balls...I used to think there was nothing worse than when they were overcooked and the cheese cooked out, leaving you with a pile of hollow cheese flavored breading balls...until I went to a new local place...they must not have had the oil hot yet, and I got a coagulated mass of semi-melted cheese lumps covered in greasy bread crumbs.
Are you talking about the booth with the mouse on it? BDubs cheese balls really remind me of that booth's cheese balls..it might be why I like BDubs' cheese balls so much!
Honestly, I have yet to have a bad batch of cheese balls. Because I love fried things and cheese, so you put them together and its hard to not please my taste buds.
On a side note: I refuse to call them cheese curds. Even if the menu only says cheese curds, I still say cheese balls. Cheese curds sounds like some type of infection or another type of bowel movement.

Cheese curds are the little chunks of cheese that you buy from cheese stores up in Wisconsin. The kind that you can tell how fresh they are by the squeak.
I went to a St.Paul Saints game this summer and had my first ever cheese curds. I was hooked. Went to a Minnesota Twins game and they were great as well. I got cheese curds everywhere I could find them.
And that my friends is how I gained about 9 pounds this summer. Oh and Grain Belt Nordeast beer.

I'm spoiled because I live in the epicenter of cheesecurd land. Culver's are good (and what I would have called best prior to living in WI) but pretty much any restaurant worth their salt around here has ones that blow Culver's away.
My favorites now are the ones from Craftsman Table and Tap (they serve them to you in a bucket, that is a sign of goodness!), Buck & Honey's, and the Tipsy Cow. The biggest difference between them and Culver's is that the breading is very light, flaky, and there's more cheese.
