This was a great spot for lunch! The dinner menu looks just as great. We were wandering around on a…read moresmall town adventure today and checked Yelp for a lunch suggestion. I'm so glad we did! The place has a small town vibe but could easily compete with anything in the Omaha metro. Talked for a bit with the gal that owns it. She was great! So glad to support a women owned business. I had a basic BLT and we shared corn nuggets. Pretty good. Husband had the lunch special, Tater tot casserole. My first thought was "I have the stuff for that in the fridge/freezer at home." Then I remembered that I have indeed not made it. They made it first so we went with that. He loved it! Not your grandma's casserole. The Thursday prime rib sandwich ($15) and Friday and Saturday steak specials ($25-30) will definitely draw us back. Thanks for a great afternoon.

We didn't order food but we all ordered drinks. My drink was well made and the bartender seemed to be enjoying her work. They also had live music, which was nice. If I'm in the area again, I would definitely go back and try their food.

THIS PLACE ROCKS -and I'm really mad at myself now…read more.. I've stopped in Walnut IA many times on my CO-WI-CO roadtrips, always turning south to the gas station & Econolodge hotel, oblivious to this gem of a diner just 1/2mi north. Found it last night, Mon 8pm... I thought "probably closed." Nope. Open till 9! Walked in & was immediately impressed with the size, sports decor, & friendly staff. Owner Kyle welcomed me to a bar seat and noted the $10 Special chicken plate w/2 sides; then I saw the beers on tap & realized the BACKFIELD is doing it RIGHT in the sticks of Iowa The menu has 3x more items than I woulda' expected. The tables, bar & bathrooms = CLEAN. Btw, the chicken special... tastiest chic breasts I've ever had, honest I'll be planning all my roadtrips now with a stop here for food/drink. Thx Kyle & team, much success to you! -Greg

Large cutlet, real mashed potatoes, not powdered. And the appetizer offerings makes this a favorite place to eat. And they do have a 10 per cent veterans discount.
