2023 Iowa's Best Burger Contest

Flight Bar + Grille Lands Iowa's Best Burger

When Marianne and Matt Pacha moved to Huxley six years ago, they immediately felt at home with the sense of community the central Iowa town of 4,500 provided. The intersection of community and family values with a desire to create a restaurant with a hometown feel led the Pachas to develop and open Flight Bar + Grille in 2022.

With a name inspired by the local Ballard school district’s mascot – the Ballard Bombers – the restaurant offers a first-class experience with its elite menu, including “The Foundation,” which was crowned this year’s Iowa’s Best Burger. Other menu items give a nod to the aviation theme with Flight Fries with house-made aioli sauces, Bomber Sliders, the Flight Club and a kids’ menu for pilots in training, featuring Jet Sliders named for the town’s youth football program mascot.

“Our Foundation is a double-smash burger with cheddar cheese. It includes mustard aioli, lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions and is topped with thick-cut bacon served between a beautiful and buttery brioche bun,” explains Katie Boughey, executive chef and kitchen manager. “We use simple seasonings – salt and pepper – to let the beef’s flavor be the star of the burger.”
