Where would you expect to find the best burgers in Iowa? Probably not at an apple cider farm in Fairfield, but that’s exactly where Food Network has discovered them, at the beautiful, popular Fishback & Stephenson Cider House.
What makes the burgers from Fishback & Stephenson so good? Maybe it's that they buy all their beef from a friend they've known since grade school: Tony Adrian of Adrian Family Farms.
The Adrian family cows are pasture raised right here in Jefferson County and farm finished on apple mash from Fishback & Stephenson's own cidery. That's what gives this meat its uniquely delicious taste and tender texture.
Plus, Fishback & Stephenson's ground beef isn't just made with the worst cuts of meat, like normal hamburger, but also the best! Filet Mignon in your burger? Only right here at the cider house!
Each burger is 6.5 ounces of this tasty, wholesome, meaty goodness, hand-formed and cooked to order, and topped with the freshest produce and finest condiments to be found. Sample everything from a standard American Cheeseburger to a Boom Boom Burger complete with spicy Thai peanut sauce!
All this way above-average food calls for a way-above-average setting in which to dine, and Fishback & Stephenson's Cider House delivers. This restaurant is housed in a timber-framed taproom built from local timber and milled on site.
