The Best Hole-in-the-Wall Restaurants in Eastern Iowa [PHOTOS]
There are a ton of awesome, well-known restaurants here in our part of the state, but what about the awesome ones that aren't as well-known?
The website Only In Your State recently published a list titled, "9 Humble Little Restaurants In Iowa That Are So Worth The Visit." I'm pleased to report that a few of the restaurants are over here in Eastern Iowa! I'm sad to report I haven't visited a single one. Have you visited any of these places?
- The Irish Shanti - Gunder
- Myers Grill & Catering - Williamsburg
- Big Dave and Holly's Dairy Sweet - Le Claire
- Taylor's Maid-Rite - Marshalltown
- St. Olaf Tavern - St. Olaf
What's your absolute favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Eastern Iowa? I visited Hale Tap in Hale a few months ago and I absolutely loved it! In case you're wondering, I ordered the Jungletown Stacker. It was delicious, as you can see...
