And I definitely love to support local. I'll be recommending and returning. They also have cute little handcrafted items. So of course I bought a coffee cozy for my yummy iced mocha coffee. My coffee and I both maybe cold lol but we're both cozy with my new coffee cozy. The Girls there were so friendly and helpful with helping this first time visitor.

Great coffee spot, with plenty of parking for your camper if you stop by on the way through town!…read moreThe Strawberry Rhubarb Pie iced coffee was incredible, 11/10, it tasted just like you were sipping coffee and eating pie at the same time! The lemon poppyseed iced coffee was 7/10, the flavors weren't the most obvious. I online ordered, the gals were friendly when I walked in to get my order, but the online bar never said it was done, so you just need to head on in and check. There was plenty of space inside, lots of tables for getting work done, looked clean and fresh!

Okay... So did this place change hands since winning the Iowa Tenderloin Trail in 2015?…read more We stopped here after having to attend a funeral in Hampton while on our way back to the Des Moines metro. The place is quaint. It reminds me of a lot of small town stops. We were greeted upon entering and told to grab a seat anywhere. The kitchen help looked a little more mature, but the servers appeared to mostly be high school age. That in and of itself is fine...as long as they do the job. At first glance the menu looked promising. The prices seemed really good. Our server did an okay job to start, but lagged on refills (and it was about 230 PM in the afternoon...they weren't busy), and she kept disappearing. I'm not sure where she was going... The place isn't that big. We soon found out why the prices were so low... The portions are about 1/3 to 1/2 of what you would get anywhere else. We started with cheese curds and onion rings. We also ordered a tenderloin and a cheese burger. I'm a tenderloin junkie and have eaten them all over the Midwest. Knowing they'd picked up the 2015 title there was no doubt in my mind what I was going to order. The tenderloin was cooked well, but it was about the size you'd get at a fast food joint advertising "tenderloins". You could tell it was real meat v. out of a Sysco truck, but it was pretty unimpressive for having been voted such a prestigious title. Looking across the table I almost wished I'd ordered a cheese burger. And when we'd pretty much finished everything we added a couple orders of fries, etc. because we weren't full. The size of the fry orders were just as disappointing. Dropped over $30 before tip and we walked out hungry... The small portion sizes and sub-par service will probably keep me from retracing my path to this stop on the trail. Serve an adult portion, raise your prices to match the portion, and up your game. I really wanted to like this place as I grew up in this area of the state (in Dows). An epic fail.

I'm not an expert, but this was the best pork tenderloin sandwich I've ever had. The tenderloin…read morewas freshly trimmed. Breaded, not dipped.

We'll be back!

They have a lot of different flavors for shakes and malts-- we tried a banana split shake and a hot fudge, marshmallow malt, both of which were delicious. After reading someone else's review, I found out that it's apparently been rated as Iowa's best hotdog! The coneys are truly the best! We ordered at the window, and were helped very fast. Our food came out promptly, as well.

Came to Steburger's because it was rated as one of the best hot dogs in Iowa. I detoured my trip…read morefrom Minneapolis to Des Moines to be sure I included a stop in Steburgers in Fort Dodge. You can order at an outside window or head inside. It was in the mid 90's so I went inside to escape the heat. Wasn't sure what to do at first, whether sat down or ordered at the counter and there was a bit of a standoff after I walked in as I kinda waited for instruction. I ordered a coney. It was ready pretty quickly and I went to grab it from the counter. It was loaded with coney meat that was well seasoned. There was shredded cheese under the meat. You could tell this is a local institution as the folks behind the counter knew and welcomed all the regular folks as they came in. Thanks to the folks at Steburgers for a tasty dog.

My mom had nachos (pretty darn good), my best friend had a teriyaki burger (she loved it), my daughter had an Asian salad (her staple) and I had a sampler appetizer platter of fried cheese curds, fried cauliflower, and fried cheese nuggets (I know, not healthy, don't judge). We shared an order of onion rings. Everything was outstanding! The bartender was also our server (we were the only ones there), but she was great. Not expensive and darn good food. So, if you get the chance, you should stop by. We will definitely do lunch again next time we are in town.
