CEDAR RAPIDS — A new beef may be imminent between burger restaurants in Cedar Rapids after BurgerFiend was named the best burger in Iowa on a list compiled by Reader’s Digest.

The list named what it considered the best burger in every state across the country. The description cites Burgerfiend’s options for number of patties, USDA choice Angus beef, abundance of topping options and fries.

BurgerFiend touts all-beef meat products, including its beef bacon, and offers handscooped milk shakes.

BurgerFiend opened at 2020 16th Ave. SW in May, returning to its original location after several years while maintaining its other Center Point Road NE location. Its Center Point Road location has since closed and is now Breakfast Barn and Lunch House.
