Sac City’s Cattlemen’s Steakhouse In The Hunt For 2022 Iowa’s Best Burger

A Sac City restaurant has made the Iowa Beef Industry Council’s list of best burgers in the state. Iowans submitted nominations for their favorite burgers between Feb. 14 and March 14, and Cattlemen’s Steakhouse in Sac City was chosen as a top 10 2022 selection. To be nominated, the burger must be made with a 100-percent real beef patty served on a bun or bread product with any combination of condiments, sauces, cheese, or toppings. Iowa Beef Industry Council Spokesperson, Kylie Peterson, says, “In total, we had more than 5,400 votes from 265 cities and towns across Iowa. This year’s Top Ten restaurants are award-winning worthy but are only a few of the many restaurants in Iowa that do an outstanding job of promoting and serving our beef products to their customers on behalf of Iowa’s beef farmers.” Other selections from western and central Iowa include Victoria Station in Harlan, West Towne Pub in Ames, and The Handlebar in Dallas Center. Eight of the top 10 selections are new qualifiers for best burger. The final phase of the 2022 Best Burger contest involves a visit from a panel of anonymous judges. They evaluate each establishment’s burger based on taste, appearance, and doneness. Scores and comments will be collected and tallied with a winner announced on May 3 to kick off National Beef Month. A full list of the 2022 nominees can be found included below this story. Recent winners of Iowa’s Best Burger Award for the area include Café Beaudelaire of Ames in 2018; The Smokin’ Hereford BBQ of Storm Lake in 2017; The Chuckwagon Restaurant of Adair in 2016; Brick City Grill of Ames in 2014; Coon Bowl III of Coon Rapids in 2012; and Sac County Cattle Company of Sac City in 2010.
