When it comes to a good cut of meat, Iowans know best. One of the top 10 beef-producing states in the country, Iowans have a certain fondness for steak. Prime rib or porterhouse, filet or ribeye, sauce or no sauce; when it comes to steaks, there’s no shortage of great options in The Hawkeye State. And if you’re looking for an old-school steakhouse experience — we’re talking dark wood walls, moody lighting, and eclectic decor — you must visit That Place Restaurant in Conrad, Iowa.

Located at the intersection of County Road D67 and Highway 14, That Place has been serving up fantastic steaks to Iowans for decades.
