Studabaker
Gary S.

Looking for a place for a burger. Review said doesn't look like much on the outside but you'll love the inside. Spot on. Loved the inside so Out of morbid curiosity I ordered the recommended Studabaker burger. It was awesome! Wife had the pork tenderloin, and in spite of growing up Iowa, she said it was one of the best she ever had. Only needed Bougies mustard from the quad cities. All in all, a great place to stop, and don't be afraid to try something different. Great people too!

Triumph burger and fries

Burger was delicious- hot and juicy. Fries were perfectly crispy. If you like your burgers a bit messy because of how juicy they are, you'll love it! Note they are cash or check only - Yelp mislead me saying they take credit cards. There is an ATM inside, but there is a fee.

New into town looking for something to eat on for a late dinner. Found this location on Google maps. The reviews were decent. And the pictures of the food and menu was decent. The prices of the food was amazingly low but that does not count for the quality of the food because everything tasted good. From the burger to the fries being fresh out the grease was excellent. But please bring cash because they do not except any cards but they do have an ATM machine on site this restaurant bar and grill only takes cash and checks local checks not out-of-state checks!

Wow. In town for work, wanted a burger but not fast food. Found this place on yelp. Honestly probably one of the absolute best burgers I've ever had! I did the 69 Camaro ss (added grilled onion) this time, cant wait to come back and try another. Tots where a little over cooked, but that dont bother me none. Food came out quick, 10 minutes or so. Service was just ok, could be friendlier. Food definitely outweighed the service. No cards, cash or check only gets a thumbs down, its 2019, c'mon. Will be back though without a doubt!

Burger menu was awesome, something for everyone. I had the Studebaker, love me some egg and peanut butter on my burger. The burger taste great, size was generous, bun was soft, and the tots were amazing. Will def be back next time I'm in Ft Dodge! Just a heads up, cash or check only.

This place came highly recommended! Great burger!

We had to be in Fort Dodge twice in one week. After finding this diner on Monday we had return on…read moreWednesday! The fried chicken is fantastic! 12 piece dark meat special for $9.99, made 3 meals. It was so good we ordered it to go again on Wednesday. The baked beans were also very good. The breaded pork tenderloin was good but beware getting it with everything. Everything included Thousand Island dressing, which for me just didn't work. The fried fish meal was very good. It came with a very large piece of fish, two sides and a roll. The tartar sauce was very unusual, more like the dressing for potato salad than any tartar sauce I'd ever had. Their coleslaw was good. The service was friendly. The diner was clean. There is a surcharge for using a debit/credit card. If we're ever back in Fort Dodge, we will stop again!

This piece of metal, which looks like a machine part, was in a take-out order of JaMar baked beans!…read more6/6/26 Resulted in a chipped tooth! I don't know what he intends to do about this, but I would sue! JaMar is the most expensive fast food "restaurant "in FD and they also add a card fee to the bill. This is vastly unacceptable and I'll never eat their food again! The quality has been in decline for several years- the chicken pieces look more like pidgeon pieces! I think the taste is "off" (from what tastes to me like old frying oil) and it's overly-battered. People in FD, beware!
