The best burger in Iowa is in Adair.
On Monday, The Chuckwagon Restaurant was named the winner of the annual Iowa’s Best Burger contest, sponsored by the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association (ICA) and Iowa Beef Industry Council (IBIC).
IBIC Marketing Director Brooke German says judges enjoyed the restaurant’s juicy and flavorful patties, noting that a toasted bun and homemade house seasoning help to enhance the flavor of each burger.
The Chuckwagon Restaurant is owned by lifelong Adair resident Kim Reha, who purchased the location when she was 22 years-old.
The restaurant’s award is the second recent culinary award for Adair eateries. Zipp’s Pizzaria won Travel Iowa’s Pizza Madness contest in March.
