The Mississippi River town of Le Claire is one of Iowa's most charming. Few things are better than a meal overlooking the water, but many of the places offering waterfront dining are expensive and fancy - not exactly the place for a casual lunch. On the other hand, Big Dave & Holly's is the exact opposite - a unique roadside shack serving mouthwatering all-American Iowa grub. But when I took a look inside, I was blown away - this might just be the tiniest restaurant I've ever seen! Little more than three tables and a counter, this small restaurant in Iowa usually has a line of people waiting for delicious pork tenderloin sandwiches, baskets of fried food, and creamy desserts. And if you can't get a seat, don't worry - a waterfront view is only feet away outside!

Feeling like it stepped out of time, Big Dave and Holly's is a tiny ice cream and sandwich shop in Le Claire with a big fanbase.

But you might have to wait to get a taste, because this restaurant has a tiny seating area - just a counter for six, and a table for six. Needless to say, that fills up quickly!

Of course, during busy periods, a few more may be able to squeeze in. Iowa is known for its ingenuity - and friendliness!

So what's got everyone squeezing in? Big Dave & Holly's serves a delicious menu of sandwiches, including burgers and a crispy-fried pork tenderloin.

Fried baskets are another favorite. No surprise, this place is so close to the water that seafood is always on the menu.

Baskets usually come with fries, but maybe make an extra order for the house-fried onion rings. Big, fresh,and zesty, they're perfect for every onion-lover.

And of course, you'll want to end the meal with a frozen treat.

An old-school banana split sounds like just the ticket.
