I love supporting locally owned businesses, and this experience was exceptional! Several of my group had the Western burger, and I would highly recommend it! The french fries are delicious, crisp and favorable. The staff is

We ordered two cheeseburgers, fries and drinks. It totaled about $25. The fries are double fried and seasoned, served in a paper cup. They were tasty. The burger had toppings of ketchup mustard Mayo and pickle. Not many options for toppings, lettuce tomato or onion would’ve been a nice option to have. (They have a bacon burger option and other burgers, so maybe those toppings were options for those, I don’t know.) The burger was a seasoned smash burger with that crispy lace on the edges. Very tasty. It’s served in a soft potato bun, to balance the bun I would suggest a double patty. We just got the single patty and it was overwhelmed by the bun size. Drink options were very limited, only had Pepsi for a diet option. We ordered from the kiosk which stated the lemonade wasn’t available. Overall I would give this a 7/10. Definitely worth a try and so much better than any fast food chain.

First time have the burgers. Outstanding burger, fresh topings, done right. The star was the fries. Don't know what they do but they are the bomb! Crispy, fresh, hot, not greasy, and a spice that I cannot put my finger on but delicious. Service was great with very much attention to detail. I know why there a top burger in the midwest!!

1st of all.. Worst burger I've ever had in my life. If you can even call it a burger. After paying 10 bucks, just for the burger, and waiting 20 min for my meal. I received a brown paper bag that contained what looked like a burnt charred black small pile of what used to be maybe 4 Oz. Of burger meat. And I ordered a double. It looked like somebody violated a cheap sad excuse of horrible tasting meat. If you want a burnt sandwich with a side of serious dissipoitment, then ya. Check this place out. Sad. Just sad. Never again.

A limited menu, but the burgers and fries are very good! Local eatery, not another mediocre chain that Iowans seem to prefer. Definitely recommended.

My girlfriend and I had heard good things about this place and were eager to give it a try. As a couple of burger lovers, I will say we are glad we did!The burgers (one double bacon cheese, one single) were delicious. The smash patty is not as dense as some other types which leaves it very tender and juicy and oh so wonderfully able to mingle with the melty cheese and grease. It is indeed a very greasy burger, but in the best way. The potato bun is fresh and holds up well with the burger itself.For sides we had the big head fries and onion rings. The onion rings were good. Crispy and hot, but not the star of the meal.The big head fries were amazing. The fries on their own would be pretty solid: crisp, potato-y, not over seasoned (which I think is what you want paired with one of these burgers). BUT where the big head fries shine is the loads of delicious toppings. Beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, and big head sauce (similar to a Big Mac sauce). Getting these over the regular fries would be my recommendation if you have the appetite.Oh and a last food aside: get a ginger lemonade. Fresh and spicy and super refreshing.As to non-food items.The lady who helped us was very friendly and attentive. The service was fast and the prices for what we got were very reasonable.All in all I would highly recommend checking them out. Good ole fashioned burger stand vibes, delicious comfort type burgers and fries. If thats what you’re wanting, that is what you’ll get a Big Head Burger.

A great cheeseburger, and whatever seasoning they put on those fries is phenomenal!
