Jefferson has just under 4,500 residents. It’s in west-central Iowa and their home-town restaurant, Doc’s Stadium Bar & Grill, recently landed on the Top 10 Burgers in Iowa list. It’s on 113 N. Chestnut Street in Jefferson. It’s open Monday through Friday from 11 am until 1 pm and from 4 pm until 2 am. Saturday hours are 4 pm until 2 am.
You can do a lot to a hamburger to make it good. But a great burger doesn’t happen in the kitchen.
Iowans understand that the best burgers start right here.

They only use beef from Mike Holden. His company, Moo Meat, offers 90% lean, antibiotic and hormone-free beef.

The Stadium has been serving this incredible burger since 2015.

People seem to like The Carnivore.
Docs Stadium/Facebook It’s a 1/3 pound patty of Moo Meat 90% lean ground beef, a couple of big strips of bacon, Swiss cheese, American cheese, and a sweet chili sauce created by Cranston. Once it’s all put together, they go ahead and add one more 1/3 pound patty to the pile.
If that sounds like too much burger, try The Carni.
Docs Stadium/Facebook It’s The Carnivore’s little cousin, and it has just one burger plus all the fixins.
The Carnivore went up against 487 other Iowa restaurant’s burgers. Making the Top 10 in the state is pretty amazing.

In fact, Thursday is Wing Night.
