Flavor was top notch, I love a great ribeye. Salmon and shrimp was perfect as well and burger was perfect too. Nothing was under cooked or over cooked, perfect. We had several sides, mashed potatoes, Mac n cheese, Broccoli and Brussels sprouts. All were great, the only comment on sides is maybe some bourbon brown sugar type glaze on the Brussels sprouts. The wine selection is great, and we had some Moscow Mules that were absolutely perfect. And our server Ms. Avery was very knowledgeable on all the food and did a great job! Thank you Cattlemen's for a great dinner, truly a gem of a restaurant in Sac city and the surrounding area.

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. Thx Kyle & team, much success to you! -Greg

Self-serve soda, with a variety of options, and a VERY reasonably priced menu with lots of selections. The motif is what you'd expect -- small town diner, with improvements to the historic building and a few modernizations. Very friendly, fun, and pleasant service, and solid food. My wife got the Egg Salad Sandwich on homemade bread, and I got the Philly Chicken. We shared the Sweet Potato Fries. Good sandwiches, and fries, and the food came out in a reasonable time.

We figured that…read morewe'd have lunch near there, but it was lunch time at Neola, and after a stop at the nearly Kum & Go, I found Buck Snort via a Yelp search. And after a short drive, we arrived at this cool little restaurant in small town Downtown Neola. As it turns out, this place is part of a local chain with other locations in 6 other local spots. CONS - None PROS 1. Easy access from I-80, especially if you know how to find this place. 2. Warm and inviting interior, with nice booth/table seating, at counter ordering, and friendly local clientele. 3. Buck Snort is a largely a burger and fries joynt with a number of interesting menu twists and unique names like the Boom Boom Pow! Burger. 4. Dad's choice was the "Brunch Burger", including egg, bacon and tots. He really enjoyed it. 5. I went more conventional with a cheese burger and tots. Outstanding. It's always a good thing to hit the road again on a relatively full stomach.
