If you’re craving a ridiculously good burger, hot dog, or the best tater tots you can find, then you need to head to Marshalltown, Iowa and check out The Flying Elbow (229 N 13th St, Marshalltown, IA) A professional wrestling themed burger joint, with wrestling themed names for their burgers/dogs/and fries or create your own perfect burger! Not only do they have great food, a nice array of Iowa brewed beers as well. I like to try a bit of everything so we ordered quite the haul to try, here’s a look at the deliciousness that went down!
BEER
Sweet, delicious, frothy, beer. The perfect accompaniment to a burger or a dog. The Flying Elbow had 12 beers on tap and I went with Adventurous Warrior from Adventurous Brewing and followed that with a Big Grove Easy Eddy. Cold and delicious.
STARTERS
Ok…here’s where I was blown away….the damn tots “Vader Tots” to be more precise…..so good, had to get two orders. Shredded hash browns with cheese, seemed to be some smoke in them as well, deep fried and served with a cherry smoked ketchup. Absolutely outstanding and worth the drive to Marshalltown alone!
BURGERS/DOGS/SANDWICHES
Burger #1 – The Tombstone– The Undertaker would be proud to have this burger named after him. Tons of flavor in this one. Toppings of havarti cheese, guac, bacon, sour cream, and a hot sauce called Death Valley Hot Sauce that added a perfect kick to this burger. Would order again.
Burger #2 – The Briscoe Burger– an homage to the Briscoe Brothers and patty melts! Nothing like a patty melt starting off with Brioche Texas Toast! Add swiss/american cheese, smoked bacon, mayo and tomato and you have a tough to beat patty melt!
Burger #3 – The Vinnie – pretty much a Big Mac on steriods. My favorite of the bunch and definitely worth seeking!
Sandwich #1 – Jake the Steak – smoked tri-tip thinly sliced and doused in a chimichurri, bell peppers, onions, cheese, and mayo. Tri-tip smoked right out back on one of their smokers and the flavor shined. Perfect amount of smoke, extremely tender chew. Absolutely, a wonderful sandwich.
Dog #1 – The Punk – named after the “Second City Saint” CM Punk, this is their take on the traditional Chicago style hot dog but amped up a bit. Neon green relish, pickle spear, sport peppers, red onion, diced Roma tomato, mustard and celery salt. Delicious!
There’s no question I will go back. Terrific food, tasty beer, and a wonderful and unique ambiance and experience for a pro wrestling fan. Not a pro wrestling fan? No worries, the food here is totally worth your trip!

IOWA CITY TAPROOM
We’ve turned our Iowa City Taproom’s backyard into a basketball court and will be hosting halftime shooting contest, beer bucket specials, and $2.22 Citrus Surfer pints during the women’s games all tourney long.
An imposing and impressive display of imperial might. This beer is a victory parade of big and bold fruit flavors with Passionfruit, Mango, Strawberry, and Tangerine that both form and balance out, this full-bodied 9.0% Imperial Kettle Sour.
This double dry-hopped double IPA features an irresponsible amount of Galaxy hops. It’s juicy, high in citrus, and one of Big Grove’s greatest hazies. Bigger, better, brighter… nothing beats Color TV!
375 ML Bottle 9.0% ABV Our highest-density stout ever, which folds and warps spacetime and taste. This limited and exclusive barrel-aged program release will pass by only once.
Aromas of vanilla and a strong whiskey, with dark and roasty flavors. Hints of fruit and coffee and an almost red wine-like quality. A sweet molasses finish that lingers on the tongue.
New beer and short series starting this Friday!
We have a new sour for you this Friday!
