BBQ and A Book Store Make For A Perfect Day In McGregor, Iowa
There’s something to be said about a great BBQ joint in a river town, with a flare of history and nature. Backwoods Bar and Grill in McGregor, Iowa, offers all that and more.
I will admit it, it had been a few years since I had set food on the main drag in McGregor, Iowa. So, I was pleasantly surprised to find a restaurant that still has my taste buds wanting me to return.
Backwoods Bar and Grill offers some of the best BBQ I have had in quite sometime. The smoked pulled pork sandwich came highly recommended and it was fantastic topped with a tangy, sweet BBQ sauce.
From the occasional all you can eat buffet to pizza and nachos, Backwoods Bar and Grill in McGregor has you covered. The indoor seating is abundant and it offers a fun, casual setting. A stage is set for live music and a bar offers a chair for you to call yours throughout the day. For updates on entertainment and food specials, be sure to “like” Backwoods Bar and Grill on Facebook.
I’m all about quaint river towns and McGregor is all that and more. How about a book store that offers books and more?
Paper Moon is a fun place to swing into while in McGregor. Each level offers something for everyone. If you are looking for a fun gift for someone of any age, you will find one here.The building itself almost speaks to you as you climb the stairs and take a step back in time with the architecture that reaches out to you.
Something that really caught my eye in the Paper Moon, was how the store owners have incorporated learning and fun together. This area serves as a cute, little reading area for kids. How cute are these puppets?
A lot of you know that I still prefer holding a book in my hand while reading, so you can only imagine how warm my heart was as I strolled through this store.
Several local authors are featured in the store, as well as several how to books. I stumbled on this nice selection of cooking and how to books. The decor is as charming as the building itself.
This is just a small sampling of what you will find while strolling down Main Street in McGregor, Iowa. With the Mighty Mississippi River on its doorstep and Pikes Peak State Park nearby, McGregor is a win-win for anyone wanting to explore the Northeastern part of Iowa.
