Backdraft is a small-town dive-bar grill on US-20 known for inventive pizzas, wings, fries and approachable prices. Regulars praise friendly staff, reliable takeout and a cozy, well-kept atmosphere popular with locals and road-trippers. Food can be hit-or-miss — pizzas sometimes arrive overcooked or sparse on toppings and nachos disappointed one reviewer — but portions and variety appeal. Limited on-site parking and the lack of beer on tap are drawbacks; still, it remains a worthwhile, casual stop for affordable comfort food.

This place is an absolute must-visit! The food is incredibly delicious—hot, fast, and fresh. The service was attentive and enthusiastic! I tried the Cuban sandwich, and the smoked pork was fantastic! I also love that they serve the food on a cookie sheet! View all feedback.

I stop in here every year when I’m in western IA for work. I order the same BBQ Brisket Pizza with cream cheese and I swear I will stop every chance I get in the area. I drove an hour and a half out of my way to get it this year! Always good with fair prices and great staff!
