    Chicago Style Hot Dog
    Nathan S.

    A fun spot to hangout with friends and get a quick, cheap bite! The service was efficient and the food was fresh.

    Pork tenderloin sandwich,  feta fries and onion rings
    Tina P.

    Found this place off of Yelp and did some quick little research on TikTok with the help of a friend and decided to try their pork tenderloin sandwich. This place offers it on a Diablo sauce which is delish and not very spicy at all. We also decided to try the feta fries which were to die for - they are tossed in vinegar and topped with the cheese and oregano different yes, masterpiece definitely. Onion rings were great too they were made from red onion which is different and appreciated. Ranch was on point. Service was good, fast, and accurate. The establishment was clean. Hi5 folks.

    Ted's was the last meal for me on a LONG road trip around the plains states. Have to admit, I wasn't the hungriest but still wanted to be sure to visit because I had heard great things. I kept it pretty basic: onion rings and a hot dog with ketchup and mustard. Nothing exciting, but the essentials done really well are sometimes all I need. The lightly-battered, thin onion rounds were well-seasoned and crispy without being too oily. The hot dog was topped generously and sat in a nice soft bun. The folks at Ted's were extremely kind not just to me but in other customer interactions I watched and heard. If you want classic food done well and reasonably priced, Ted's Coney Island is your best bet.

    Had the classic coney dog and hot dog with onion rings and fries, food wasn't spectacular but was good. Staff was so nice and the restaurant was pretty clean. Food was ready quick and made a nice road trip spot. My husband really enjoyed the gyro!

    A great spot to try especially if you're looking for fast food that isn't just fast food. Their gyro and falafel sandwiches are pretty decent. I also like how crispy their onion rings and fries are, but that's purely based on my preference. If you get a basket it's like $10 without a drink. It comes w your sandwich, fries, onion rings, and coleslaw. I didn't personally like their coleslaw that much, I just didn't think it had too much flavor. However getting all this through a drive thru is pretty awesome. Their drive thru is open, their menu is right where the speaker is. If you like planning what to order before arriving I suggest looking their menu up online before driving up. Their baklava is a decently sized piece and really sticky. I definitely recommend trying this place.

    Always a good dog! I got the coney basket with extra onion rings. Chili for coney is always great. The onion rings were cooked perfectly and fresh! I will go back more often. Check them out.

    I have driven by this place numerous times without giving it a second thought, but today we gave it a try. I am so glad we did. The exterior may appear to be a refurbished other restaurant from yester year, same with the interior, but it was obvious that this place is a local favorite. The inside is spotless. The staff was friendly and the food was great. Everything was simple, but the ingredients were quality and the flavors on point. I am glad we gave it a 2nd look today and will be back again.

    In town for some personal business and had time to kill so we decided to find a local place for…read morelunch. Per my usual when it comes to deciding factors, the name drew us in to The Flying Elbow. Super cute place - simple. Very clean. Straightforward. The menu is on the wall, above the same counter where you order. Staff was helpful and friendly. My husband got a burger - The Patterson. The gentleman taking his order was kind enough to switch out the bread since my hubs isn't a fan of jalapeño. He recommended Texas toast, which the hubs was grateful for and he LOVED it. It was just the right amount of messy, juicy, and YUM. I got the all-beef hotdog with chili, cheese, and green onions. It was delicious. My only recommendation would be putting the cheese under the chili so that it melts (or run it under the broiler for a sec) and gets super gooey. Otherwise, the chili was awesome and tasted great with the dog. I'd definitely get it again. BUT, the kicker of the whole meal, the absolute "must go back" item was the tots. HO. LY. COW. We got one order to share and just figured we were getting regular old tator tots. But NO. The order was six tots that were each about the size of a ping pong ball and they were the MOST epic little flavor bombs. I know they had potato, cheese, and bacon in them ... not sure what else they add to create that little ball-o-flavor but MAN. If you're in the area, this place should be on your list of "must try." If you're not, those tots are worth the trip.

    Is this absolutely MY best (aka favorite) burger...? Is it the best burger I've personally had in…read moreIowa...? Probably not. BUT it is the best burger I've ever had out of a gas station in Iowa...! Actually... I'm not exactly sure which way this place actually goes... Is this a gas station that sells food... Or a restaurant that sells gas? Potato...potatoe! Lol And it IS a very good burger overall too...! But not only do they serve burgers... They have other menu selections... Mostly all deep fried and grill options... And ice cream! I've seen signs for Iowa's Best Burger Cafe for years while running back and forth on I-80 from the Des Moines metro... Kellogg is about halfway between Newton and Grinnell. We've never stopped here until this past weekend when we were on our way home from the What Cheer IA flea market... Iowa's Best Burger Cafe is just off the highway... The first thing I noticed as the GPS said our route was about to end... It looked like it ended at an Amoco gas station... Huh? And then I noticed the signage for the Iowa's Best Burger Cafe on the building... Oh... So we're here...? Not exactly what I expected..., but I eat at food trucks too so it wasn't going to stop me. I did glance at my girlfriend to see if I could tell whether she was feeling it or not... I think she was just really hungry at that point and didn't really care. Lol There's ample parking. As you enter the building it kind of looks like a standard gas station convenience store...until you turn and look to your Right. Red plastic booth seating. There are two counters and a case that sit adjacent to one another. The counter you order at also displays the ice cream. There's a case displaying some ready to eat options. The register is on a shorter counter closest to the entrance. It's an open kitchen. There is also another small room of seating further to the left as you face the counters. The tables are kind of faux marble. Napkins, salt, pepper, ketchup, and mustard are available in each booth. We were greeted as we walked and I let them know it was our first time there and we didn't know the drill. They let us know you order standing there at the counter. Take a seat. They bring the food out to you when it's ready. You pay at the register when you are done. Cash or card...and there is an ATM on site. They bus your table. There are a couple of menu placards on the counter where you place your order... The 16 flavors of ice cream selection are plainly labeled. The two ladies behind the counter were very helpful and were both personable! We ordered: 2x half pound burger combos (one with cheese, bacon, onions and pickles and one with cheese, onions, pickles, mayo, and lettuce) 1x upgraded side to garlic mushrooms 1x upgraded side to onion rings 2x fountain drinks (Coke products...comes with combo) 1x mozarella sticks 1x two scoop bowl of ice cream 1x single cone of ice cream The wait for food wasn't long. Everything was served hot and fresh! They'd asked us if we wanted ranch... My girlfriend always wants ranch! Not only did they bring us ranch... They brought us a HUGE squeeze bottle of ranch! This is how every restaurant should bring you ranch! While we dined in (as did a couple of other customers) most of the business appeared to be take out. One pro tip... The standard half pound burger comes with two patties. I heard a customer ask a guy, at the booth next to her, how many patties he had on his burger... Huh? He had four patties on his burger... A full pounder! So there has to be a way to add an additonal patty (or patties) too... If you want a bigger burger... Ask...! The bathrooms...not horrible. The food was all great. Good service. No complaints. I wouldn't hesitate to stop in here again! And I know what to expect next time...!

    Super cute pit stop when passing through. Highly recommend. Friendly staff, good food and hefty…read moresnack selections!

First, it was Fall graduation weekend at Iowa State University 8 miles up the road, so the place was packed. They told us we would have about an hour wait, but you could see the tickets were flying out of the kitchen, and that things were moving along nicely. We stopped in the bar for a drink, and I ordered a Manhattan up. It was very well made, and reasonably priced. In less than 45 minutes, we got our table. Flight has a variety of specialty smash burgers, and I chose the Crown Wagyu Burger. It's a double Wagyu patty smash burger with smoked gouda, hot pepper bacon jam, arugula, caramelized onion aioli + onion haystack. It was a fantastic burger, and the fries I had as a side were very nice too. The service was swift and friendly, and it was an overall great experience. The building itself is very clean With just the right lighting. It's got kind of an industrial look to it, and it is a nice space. It looked like there was a little banquet room off to the side for pre-scheduled gatherings. All in all, definitely two thumbs up for Flight!
