There are so many restaurants in the Hawkeye State that it’s impossible to visit all of them! Some of them are way out in the middle of nowhere, so it takes some planning and a day off to visit. One of these remote restaurants is a charming log cabin way out off of Route 680 – and just one visit to this Iowa Saloon is all it takes to make you realize the drive is worth it from anywhere in the state.

The Twisted Tail Saloon is located right about in the middle of nowhere - Beebeetown.

Tripadvisor / Babeinthewind Their GPS address is 2849 335th St., Logan, IA 51546, which is off of exit 21 on Route 680.

This hidden gem is an Old West style saloon, and the decor is quirky and authentically American.
