Teddy's Bar & Grill just east of Anamosa. Stone City is also well known as is Baxa's at Sutliff Bridge and Lincoln Cafe in mt. Vernon so I suppose those aren't hidden gems to many.

Taco Jerry's/Borderline Pizza in Forest City. Best soft shell taco you will ever eat, hands down.

Augusta Restaurant in Oxford, IA.
Welcome to Augusta Restaurant local food with New Orleans flare .
It's a place owned by a Katrina-displaced couple who decided to open a restaurant in Oxford, IA. They've got awesome Louisiana fare, but the owner wanted to make sure he had something on the menu that would be at home in Iowa so he now makes one of the best pork tenderloins in the state. It's definitely in the heart of Hawkeye territory, but well worth the stop.

Taco Jerry's is still open? I did a few of their radio ads early on, when I worked for the local radio station. They were good advertisers. Ended up going there quite a bit. You're right, their tacos are amazing.
As far as I know it is. FC is my hometown, but I haven't been back since May. I feel like I would have heard about it if it had closed. I couldn't tell you how many tacos I have eaten in that place
Yea.. As dc said mineral city. I had eaten there a few time as well. It was good. I know it's just bar food but I kinda like the food at captains.. We usually get all the oyster plates they have.
Good food.. Idk about great. Service is really slow. And all those dolls are creepy as hell!
Hot Beef w/Mashed potatoes and gravy at Clark's Landing in Buffalo. Also get a side order of coleslaw. Good Stuff.
Yes, the Taco Jerry's is still open...I live in Lake Mills and it is on the East side of 69/9!
Also, there is a place in Emmetsburg called New Shoots Cafe Bakery & Farmstore that is just Fabulous. Had a meeting in E'burg last July and was very impressed. The first part of the the place is the Farmstore which is basically a farmer's market and the other side is the cafe. Loved the food and atmosphere and would recommend it to anybody who wants to just sit and relax.[h=1][/h]
