Iowa's Best Burger Contest 2020 - and the winner is ....

[Ms3r4ISU]

Twisted Tail (Steakhouse & Saloon) in Beebeetown claims the crown this year. It seems so long ago that entries were being accepted, in pre-pandemic days. Another place to put on the "someday" list.

Never even heard of Beebee town.

That place is tremendous. We were driving during a snowstorm and wound up randomly stopping there as we waited for someone with a more appropriate vehicle to pick us up. The food was absolutely awesome. Beebeetown--who knew!?

Never even heard of Beebee town.

Pretty sure there is an decommissioned nuclear missile silo there. A college roommate was from that area.

My quick look at a map tells me it’s not really a town. The restaurant just sits on an intersection of two county roads north of I-880

Ankeny Diner? Really? I was never super impressed by that place. Kind of a dump.

 

[ISUTex]

McDonald's quarter pounder beats them all.

 

[JP4CY]

Known for its ribs? So I get intrigued and google.

Been there once and the burger I had was awesome. So good in my book albeit super small sample size.

It's sad how many burgers I pay $10 for and afterwards say "A two buck burger at McDonalds would have been just as satisfying"

B&B Grocery puts together the most underrated burger in the metro. Just a standard burger but the flavor is amazing and they cook it perfectly every time.

You mean Wendy's? I'd take a Wendy's burger over most from any sit down restaurant.

I don't like messy ribs. I prefer dry rubbed ribs that don't put sauce on every part of you when you eat.

Yeah, I don't mind some, but damn, those look doused.
