We arrived here early. I was surprised at the extent of the landscaping.

They even had their own garden!

The interior was clean and vibrant. There is a full bar and a few small tables.

I was hungry, but not that hungry!
(pgg's nice snack!)

The waitress noting that this was my first visit to Stella's, told me she would make my burger!
What I got was a mini version of the Stellanator!
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/k...mickeys621.jpg
This weighed in at a respectable 1 1/4 lbs.
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/k...mickeys620.jpg
Combo fries and onion rings.

The Mini-Stellanator was delicious!

Stella's has a lot of character. They have the sassy interactive staff that makes your dining experience unforgettable. The buns for the burgers are great product that is produced locally. The ground beef they use seemed to be about 85% lean. The variety of toppings is enough to satisfy any burger aficianado.
Get rid of the healthy crap on that burger and I'll happily eat the stellanator :)
I was still hungry so we stopped just a few blocks up the street.

I was wondering if this was a sign of their success?
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/k...mickeys627.jpg
They are connected!

They have 51 tequilas to choose from.

You could choose from 35 of them for flights (4 - half shots)
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/k...mickeys638.jpg
Their house margarita suited me just fine.
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/k...mickeys637.jpg
Gotta walk off all that great food before we hit the next burger stop.

The service was fast and friendly. I chatted a bit with the bartender and the cook. The cook was very proud of his homemade soup, so he gave me a sample.

This was delicious, but I will be back for a burger this week!

I chose the Gluttony Burger.

http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/k...mickeys675.jpg
yummm...

We were greeted by the staff immediately upon entering the restaurant. Everyone from the bartender to the waitstaff were very friendly and helpful. The owner even stopped by our table to see how we were doing. I thought Sinful Burger should have been rated higher than fifth. We may have to try a few others!
Stella's and Sinful Burger are better than Iowa's 2012 Best Burger.
That sinful burger looks pretty good

Chicken Taquitos topped with their guacamole sauce. This was very good. The guacamole was a style I was not familiar with.
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/k...C/IMG_5793.jpg
Carne asada with cranberry glaze. This was a perfectly cooked bottom round cut beef with a sweet finish.

http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/k...C/IMG_5798.jpgQuote:
Your steak is soaked for fifteen minutes, only, when you place your order so the marinade does not overpower the flavor of our Certified Angus Beef. The steak is then grilled to order on an open flame and basted with the marinade.

Yes, the salad bar is famous. The selection is not.

after a few of these...
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/k...C/IMG_5802.jpg
I had to ask where the loo was. This was quite the hike to find the restrooms... downstairs!
