[Kohlsdorf] In the small town of Smithland, the quality of the food is as important as the community it serves.

Let's check out a neighborhood roadhouse known for its hearty cuisine and laid back atmosphere.

♪♪ Order up!

♪♪ [Joseph Eneboe] We're in Smithland, Iowa.

We're one of the oldest towns in Iowa.

And right in the Loess Hills.

We're trying to build something special kind of out in the middle of nowhere.

The last census was right around 200 people.

(laughs) ♪♪ [Joseph Eneboe] The pulled pork is definitely what we're known for right now.

We have a smoker in our kitchen.

We usually use hickory or a blend.

And we're known for a great burger too.

One of our biggest selling burgers right now is what we call the gunslinger, which is our certified Angus chuck burger.

It's got the pulled pork on top, cheddar cheese and bacon.

It's a barbeque lovers type of burger.

(laughs) [Ricky Norton] Oh, I think the tenderloins.

They're big.

I love them.

Good food.

Good food, yes.

♪♪ [Joseph Eneboe] My favorite food, I would definitely say the brisket philly or we have a 141 fill up, which is the brisket philly on top of our burger.

We had a guy in from Ireland and he said that was the best burger he's ever had.

(laughs) [Ricky Norton] I used to drive through here all the time.

I never realized this place was here.

Come in here to eat, oh my goodness.

I haven't had good food like that in I don't know how long.

[Joseph Eneboe] Yeah, we wanted to build a place that was special for people, a sentimental place for everybody whether it's your first date, your first anniversary dinner, if it's your 85th birthday or 90th birthday.

We want it to be your party bus coming here, you know.

The food is just the supporting actor to that.

It's definitely something we put a lot of work and a lot of love into.

But it's definitely the supporting actor and just being your Buffalo Joe's, your sentimental place to go.

We're in the business of making memories.

♪♪ [Joseph Eneboe] The Loess Hills actually draws a lot of people to this area.

It really is the pretty part of Iowa.

Every part has its own beauty to it, but I'm a little partial to the Loess Hills.
