"#59-2021 The Iowa best burger and Cafe located at the old gas station stop over outside of Newton Iowa on interstate 80 approximately 45 minutes east of Des Moines. About the turn of the century circa 99 in the 2000 they put a campground in here which stays full a lot some people like staying here. The little gas station is just basically like a KOA store you walk in there they got soda they got beer and they got snacks and that's about it it's very small. Real Cafe is hooked right up you walk right in and there it is. I haven't been here and probably close to at least 3 years or more usually when I'm trucking across 80 and they're either not open yet or they're closed. They still close at 9:00 p.m. this is such a small town in the middle of nowhere once you get off the interstate Kellogg's about a mile up the road but it's one of those towns where they roll up the sidewalks at night. Walking in I was greeted and perused the little menu they have and decide to go with an old-fashioned big half-pound burger bacon cheese lettuce tomato ketchup mustard no pickle or onion. And the diet Pepsi fries with no salt. they doing four of no refills on drinks you 50 cents I said fine whatever. Was definitely nice and clean everything was wiped down small and quaint dining room always has been they do not open for breakfast. Okay the nasty cans. Could definitely do a little better bathroom detail indeed. They are unisex bathrooms one horse stalls lock the doors. although they were kind of skunky and funky. Luckily I just had to whizzarino had I needed to have a seat I would have trucked up to loves 5 miles down the road LOL. They have basic sandwiches I think next time I come through I may either try the pork tenderloin or the Iowa pork chop it sounded pretty good if it's open when I'm coming through here they have shakes and mulch and soft serve ice cream they now also have fresh made deli sandwiches better available too made on site. My burger came out I was very impressed half pound two patties quarter pound patties stacked with everything I wanted on it. was delicious nice and juicy couldn't complain there the fries crinkle fries with no salt or excellent too just like I remembered it's all in all my visit was really satisfying for what it was and I left with a happy tummy ready to roll some miles. Was a about 90 almost summer day temperature wise but the good thing was the air conditioners do a great job it was very nice cool and comfortable in there also."

Food was amazing! Great location with a man made lake to look at. Right off the highway. I got a Cobb salad and it's was probably the biggest one I've ever had. Highly recommend!

Food was good and prices were not much more than a regular grocery store. Scott cares so much for his customers when he didn't have laundry detergent he went to his house for some at no charge. It's well manicured grounds and cleanliness was superb. By far one of the best stops on our 3000 mile trip! View menu

Forgot to add the pictures when I stopped by going on the last trip. The prices reflect the last year of inflation but are comparable to other restaurants. The burger was cooked how I like it and the toppings added to the flavor. The fries were good and the amount was fine for me. We will be stopping again soon.

Iest we recall this is a truck stop cafe. This is a truck stop cafe. With that sad the fast food menu is awesome with nifty burgers and real Iowa tenderloins. nice hard ice cream menu as well. Plenty of seating outdoors amongst the sheltered picnic tables overlooking scenic Interstate 80 or you can squeeze into one of the booths inside.

Our family frequently stops at this restaurant when returning home from Iowa City or Cedar Rapids. The food is consistently fresh and outstanding, far superior to typical fast food options. The service is always friendly and prompt. They've done a fantastic job expanding their dining area to accommodate more guests, making it a comfortable place to enjoy meals with family. And if their incredible cheeseburgers and cheese balls don't satisfy your appetite, be sure to save some room for their excellent selection of ice cream! Our kids absolutely love it! We truly cherish this place and consider it one of Iowa's hidden gems. We'll be coming back time and time again! View menu

To name a place like this you better have the best burgers in the state! I don't know if they actually do but I do know my half pounder was perfect in every way. It wasn't that I was starving but I do believe it was gone within a minute or two. Just delicious. This is one of those circumstances where you see the usual chains and then this guy down the road. We needed another 20 miles or so to ensure we wouldn't need to refill again so we pushed for it with our fingers crossed and trusting all the Yelp reviews. Everyone came through and this was the best choice of the trip. Don't make this the deal breaker but, for those whom this matters, this is a Pepsi shop and not a Coke shop. I sucked it...

It's a bold name, but honestly, it boasts the best burger I've had in Iowa—though I might be biased since it’s the only one I've tried here! They offer stamped postcards that they will mail for you, sell black duct tape, and maintain clean restrooms. They even sell gasoline, which was just what I needed on my journey from Des Moines to Rantoul, Illinois. I was on the lookout for a hearty burger and fries, some stamped postcards to send, a clean restroom, black duct tape, and a good cup of coffee. This place turned out to be an enjoyable pit stop; the staff were friendly and efficient. They also have ice cream, which I certainly didn’t need, considering I'm lactose intolerant, diabetic, and o...
