OUR STORY - Steaks since 1982

The Iowa Beef Steakhouse was established in 1982 by Henry Schnieder.  Iowa Beef Steakhouse is known for serving huge choice cuts of steak cooked over charcoal, fantastic sides & offering a large selection of drinks from their full bar. The wood in the restaurant, most of the decor & items on the walls came from a barn in Southern Iowa.

It has been family owned & operated since 1982. In the early part of 2015, brothers Joe & Will Kellogg, who grew up in the neighborhood, purchased Iowa Beef Steakhouse from Henry. Joe was a former bartender of the steakhouse, while also working as a high school history teacher. Will Kellogg started working for Henry in 1992, cutting & cooking steaks.  Will also owned local bars & taverns prior to taking over the Steakhouse. 

The brothers have made some minor changes to the menu as well as adding a more modern approach to the day to day operations. They've added smoked pork ribs & an awesome burger to the menu.

All the beef we serve is from right here in Iowa.  Beyond the beef we are adding a few local brewed beers, locally grown & produced wines, as well as spirits distilled in central Iowa. We pride ourselves in being a true Iowa steakhouse, utilizing as many products & produce from across the state.

Keeping the basic idea of a great steak dinner for the single guy, a couple out for date night or accomodating any size of party, the brothers aim to continue the Iowa Beef Steakhouse traditions.
