Bacon-wrapped pork, house ribeyes, and wonderful fried onions are the stars here, and the antique hospitality is well worth the country drive.

This thick pork filet is generously seasoned and wrapped with smoky bacon. If there is better pork in Iowa, we almost don't want to know!

Like all fine steakhouses, the Redwood features their signature cut, a 14 oz. ribeye of USDA Choice Iowa beef, grilled to absolute perfection.

Like the interior of the Redwood, the roster of classic ingredients that comprises this relish tray probably hasn't changed since the 1970s.

Like Johnny's Cafe in Omaha, these fried onions are divine and a must-eat appetizer.
