On a long road trip, it's common to stop anywhere you can for a bite to eat. Sometimes, these places hit the spot - and other times, you only have standard fast-food fare to choose from. But those driving down Highway 80 near the Kellogg RV Park are in for a treat. The local Amoco gas station is hiding one of the best under-the-radar restaurants in the entire state - Iowa's Best Burger Cafe.
A gas station is always a welcome stop on a long drive, especially if you're hungry or the tank is running low.
But the Amoco gas station in Kellogg isn't just a filling stop - it's a dining destination.
Most gas stations just have a quick take-out operation, but this one is home to Iowa's Best Burger Cafe - a top-tier fast-food diner.
The fresh-grilled burgers taste fresh and come with your choice of a wide menu of sides.
Not in the mood for beef? Their fried chicken sandwiches can come topped with bacon for a crispy treat.
Their fried fish sandwich is juicy and fresh and makes this diner a destination during Lent.
The restaurant even has some specialties you wouldn't expect to find at a gas station diner, including slow-cooked BBQ beef.
They may be the only place in the state to serve the pizza burger, a deep-fried and breaded patty infused with cheese and spices.
Even for vegetarians, this place is a must-visit - their fried vegetables include cauliflower, pickles, mushrooms, and sweet corn nuggets.
Make sure to save room for some of their house-made ice cream - with a rotating assortment of flavors.
Make sure to stock up on snacks and supplies before heading back on the road!
