I haven't been to a Maid Rite since 1984 when I lived in the Peoria Illinois area. So when I heard that they were still available in Iowa I had to get one before we left. So on our way home we stopped at the Maid-Rite in Muscatine. I have to say it was everything that I remember. The store is very nostalgic looking.

Read moreI have driven from Detroit to eat at this Muscatine Maid-Rite because it is, by far, the very best location, PERIOD! I order mine "wet" or extra juicy with everything on them and they are without a doubt best described as "heavenly."

I drove nearly 500 miles to get here for business and the very first place I stopped at was Muscatine Maid-Rite! Do yourself a favor and listen to my recommendation. Anything but a 5-Star review is simply...
