I've stopped in Walnut IA many times on my CO-WI-CO roadtrips, always turning south to the gas station & Econolodge hotel, oblivious to this gem of a diner just 1/2mi north. Found it last night, Mon 8pm... I thought "probably closed." Nope. Open till 9! Walked in & was immediately impressed with the size, sports decor, & friendly staff. Owner Kyle welcomed me to a bar seat and noted the $10 Special chicken plate w/2 sides; then I saw the beers on tap & realized the BACKFIELD is doing it RIGHT in the sticks of Iowa The menu has 3x more items than I woulda' expected. The tables, bar & bathrooms = CLEAN. Btw, the chicken special... tastiest chic breasts I've ever had, honest I'll be planning all my roadtrips now with a stop here for food/drink.

Upon walking in, we saw the place looked clean and comfortable. We went up to the counter to order, but weren't sure what to get. The person in front of us finished his order and we were instantly tickled to see how they send the order to the kitchen. We asked the person behind the counter what was good, as we were visiting from California and had never been there before. He was great at explaining the menu and giving suggestions. Very friendly. We settled on sharing a swamp donkey burger, fries and a side of Cole slaw. We watched our order whiz away to the kitchen and went to get our drinks. We found a good table, sat down and talked for a few minutes. Before long our order had arrived. The person that brought it over asked if we needed anything else. , and we asked for an extra plate and a fork and knife. He quickly brought it all over, and we felt silly because we didn't see utensils were right next to the drink machine, and we should have gotten them ourselves. I apologized for missing it, but he was so polite and friendly and seemed like it was no big deal. We cut the burger in half, I started on the cold slaw (delicious), and then got to it. The burger was amazing. It was big, perfectly done, and completely hit the spot. The fries were also great. We didn't have long before we gad to get back to the hotel to get ready for the flight, and having already paid at the beginning, it was quick and easy heading out. I don't know if/when we will be back to Council Bluffs, but if we are, we will be back 100% for sure. Highly recommend!

Saturdays are for SMOKED prime rib night and it's a must to try their 12oz. Side of corn and mac and cheese, plus that au jus dunking sauce. Requested done medium and she came out perfect! Tender, juicy, seasoned well, crusted to perfection. That mac and cheese was BOMBBBB and highly recommended! First time having "smoked" prime rib and it's one officially checked off the list. EXCELLENT smoked flavor! I'm such a fish and chips whore, so when I saw it on the menu, it was a must. Boasted as premium cod, she comes in BIG fillets! Their two piece meal was plenty for one. Nothing to write home about on the chips; your traditional fry. Not terribly seasoned and not terribly... not seasoned. The cod was decently bite worthy, a little on the dry side, but flaked up well. Would I order it again? Probably not. Tartar sauce was just.. tarter cause. Timing was a tad off, as we finally got a refill and an additional water, when it was time to get the check. If you're going for a burger, plan on an extra 25mins ontop of your wait (unless uou made a reservation). Also snagged their Corn Colada off their drink list. Very sweet, no sweet corn taste, and surprisingly not burned!

Don't worry -- the roads getting there are in great shape and it is a pleasant drive. We visited there with some good friends last Thursday evening to avoid the wait times that I had read about on Fridays and Saturdays. Even though that meant we missed their popular ribs and prime rib nights, we were able to experience everything else which makes this place special. To begin with, the building at the corner of the only 4-way stop sign for miles around is rustic, yet clean and well-maintained. The interior harkens back to simpler days of the past with antiques, pictures and other great decor. Our waitress was a young gal who was very nice -- even though she didn't know what the daily special would look like. We figured that many of her customers are regulars who don't need to ask exactly how a dish will be served. Not a problem! Three of our group elected to try the Hot Beef daily special which was tender slices of beef in a sandwich topped with brown gravy with sides of mashed potatoes and creamed green beans. Good home-style cooking that looked and tasted delicious. My wife chose the French Dip sandwich which came with onion rings and au jus. The hoagie bun was filled with meat and she pronounced it to be delicious as well. Our only mistake was ordering an appetizer of Onion Rings. Not the onion rings themselves--they were more than fine. But it was a missed opportunity to sample something else as a starter. Wonderful meal! Highly recommend this place.
