To our friend, Shirley Phillips. You were one of the greatest ambassadors of Western Iowa and you are missed. We will keep your legacy going in this beautiful region….
It’s one of the biggest neighborhood BBQs in Western Iowa! The annual Tri City BBQ Fest has begun in Uptown Denison! Come join me and all the Crawford County locals along with their visitors as we close out the summer with great food, live music, and a lot of entertainment for the whole family!
Ida County is where you’ll find Ida Grove and one of the best towns for roadside attractions in Iowa. There are castles everywhere! Take the whole family and try to find all of them! #burgersandbackroads
Davey’s in Ida Grove has one of the best smash style burgers we’ve had on this beefy road trip! The best part is the melted cheddar and I’m wishing it was in front of me right now. The crew did a heck of a job all around! #burgersandbackroads
Wake up, Little Susie because HWY 2 in Page County has an incredible roadside attraction near Shenandoah, Iowa! When you get here you’ll only be minutes from the Everly Brothers Childhood home and the Iowa Walk of Fame in Shenandoah! #burgersandbackroads
The Bronson Bar in Bronson, Iowa with the Bronson Prime Burger! One of the most flavorful burgers we’ve had on this road trip and it’s absolutely loaded with juicy beef. BIG TIME! Get the sweet potato fries too! #burgersandbackroads
If you like all things that go chop-choo then you’re going love Woodbine, Iowa when you get to this amazing piece of public art. The entire town is a public art masterpiece so take the afternoon and find them all while you’re on Western Skies Scenic Byway! #burgersandbackroads
Sac County is absolutely loaded with roadside attractions and Sac City is the undisputed champion when it comes to this road trip tradition. Main Street alone can keep you busy the whole afternoon but make time to see these dandelions at night near the aquatic center! #burgersandbackroads
The Danish Villages in Western Iowa is where you’ll find one of the greatest community projects in state history. The iconic Danish Windmill has an unbelievable story of how it was dismantled in Denmark, shipped across the Atlantic, delivered to Elk Horn, Iowa and then put back together piece by piece with the help of local volunteers. SKOL! #burgersandbackroads
Hear me out! There is something special about this old school Dairy Queen in Denison, Iowa. They’ve been around for a long time and they have a unique menu that isn’t offered at other DQ locations across the country. One of my go-to sandwiches when I’m in town is their Nebraskaland burger. (Yup that’s what it’s called) Breaded and fried beef patty that’s always served scorching hot. It’s a great stop especially if you’re traveling on a budget and the kids are needing some ice cream. Or when the big kids like me want some too! #burgersandbackroads
Bob's Sports Bar and Grille in Alta, Iowa is just a hop-skip and a jump away from Storm Lake! If you’re craving some delicious burgers then you need to check this place out. Phil is the owner and he’s come up with some flavorful choices on the menu for all of us that love a juicy burger! Or two…or three…. #burgersandbackroads
The yellow submarine on HWY 20 in Calhoun County! It always makes me want to sing the famous Beatles song and why not! Road trips are better with a soundtrack! #burgersandbackroads
