    Stopped by for the first time and let me tell ya what, BurgerFiend is exactly what other Guys wish they could be. For the price of a certain 3 bun burger I got exactly what I wanted with a side of delicious fries. Could not be happier. Also finished it all off with a delectable chocolate shake. They use French Vanilla base with chocolate syrup so it's creamy but not overly rich. I will return.

    What a fun find. This doesn't look like your average burger spot but man was it good. Fresh ground beef cooked to your liking with tons of options. The fries were nice thick cut fries and everything came out hot. We decided to get a ice cream cone before we left. I don't know why but it was the best ice cream cone that I've had in a long time. Maybe it was real ice cream maybe it was the sugar cone. You decide

    That was one great burger! Truly a hidden gem! I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area.

    If your looking for a top quality burger this is the spot. The beef is ground fresh daily and you can tell the difference while you are enjoying this masterpiece. Overall all the ingredients are fresh and all other menu items are delicious. Worth driving for if your not from the area as this is the absolute best burger in Iowa.

    Burgerfiend was just voted the best burger in the state of Iowa, and it should be voted the best burger in the country. The beef is ground fresh and the toppings are fresh and delicious. The shakes and fries are an excellent touch. I personally love getting jalapenos and pepperjack on my burger to spice it up.

    For whatever reason, I have always thought that BurgerFiend was a dirty restaurant with mediocre food so when my dad suggested it for lunch I wasn't exactly over the moon. Fortunately, life is full of surprises. Yes, the area around it is grody and worn down, but BurgerFiend itself is clean and welcoming. The staff were friendly and very patient with my family being a little disorganized. My grandma ordered pasta salad from the Zaydo's side, while the rest of us got burgers and fries. My turkey burger was pretty good. We were able to split a large fry between the table and have some left over. Totally forgot to get my free ice cream for checking in, but that's great if you have kids!

    I felt like it was expensive fast food. Everything is a la carte. The burgers are decent but not worth the cost to me.

    Amazing burgers! Had great service from the two gentlemen working. Fries needed some seasoning to perk them up. Happy we stopped!

    Met some buddies for lunch. Parking lot was packed but staff squared us away with a table. Enjoyed…read morean F3Both. Amazing. Great place. Will absolutely return.

    Saturday night and we didn't feel like cooking. My husband wanted a good burger because he had one…read morethe night before and it was lackluster. We arrived around 545 and Tornado's was FULL! Even with everyone standing around the doorway (there is not much in the way of a waiting area), I was spotted right away and they took my name and said it would be a 30-40 minute wait. Turns out it was only about 20 minutes and we were seated in a comfy booth. The servers were super efficient given how busy it was. We ordered the cheese curds and they were nice and hot. I especially liked them because I prefer breading over beer battered. I ordered the F-3 with sweet potato fries and marshmallow. The sweet potato fries were a little soft/soggy even though they looked burnt, and the burger was a little more red than pink, but that's just a personal preference. It was still a solid burger. My husband ordered the F-3 Both, which looked delicious, and the cheese and jalapeno macaroni salad is always a win. My son ordered the F-4 with FF. He's loves a good burger, and wanted to eat it all, but the portion was large enough that he just couldn't. It was loud and energetic, and we had to talk a little louder, but overall it was a nice dinner out with good food!
