On a long road trip, it’s common to stop anywhere you can for a bite to eat. Sometimes, these places hit the spot – and other times, you only have standard fast-food fare to choose from. But those driving down Highway 80 near the Kellogg RV Park are in for a treat. The local Amoco gas station is hiding one of the best under-the-radar restaurants in the entire state – Iowa’s Best Burger Cafe.
A gas station is always a welcome stop on a long drive, especially if you’re hungry or the tank is running low.
