Great food everything was super tasty. I had the pulled chicken special and added slaw. Delicious!! Great atmosphere. First time coming here and I definitely will be back. I was stuffed. Oh the 1919 root beer topped it off.

BY FAR the best burgers in Marshalltown. I would go as far as to say these are the best burgers in Iowa! I have been looking for a delicious, consistent lunch spot and this is it! If you don't believe me try the "real american". It is a VERY traditional VERY delicious burger. I usually save half of my lunch for my husband but....he hasn't tried it yet ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™‚ P.s. the only bad reviews I have read are related to "limited parking" (there is a fairly large parking lot right across the street) and "thin burgers" (WHICH IS WHAT MAKES THEM SO GOOD!!) I stand my ground ๐Ÿ˜… BEST BURGERS EVER!

As the 2022 Iowa's best burger winner, i had high expectations. The burger was good as expected. The patty was pretty thin and made me wish i had ordered the double. And too many toppings offsets the burger flavor. So i would recommend, just get a pain one if you want to taste it. The restaurant is fairly small and first come first serve seating. Had a short wait for a Saturday lunch. If you couldn't tell from the name, it has a lot of wrestling theme decorations.

I was passing through town and decided to check this place out and Iโ€™m glad I did. The food was excellent and had a decent craft beer selection. The bartender was super friendly and helpful in making a choice. I went with the Nacho Man Hot Dog and a side of Chili with Cheese, Onions and Chili-Cheese Fritos. So good. Iโ€™ll definitely be back.

Super fun burger joint. WWF wrestling decor with all of the characters from my childhood...Burger was excellent, fries were nice and crispy. Side of cheese curds and Mac and cheese. Nothing disappointed . Price is on point.

Walked in and took a seat at the bar, watched some Smackdown from 2003 or so. The guys next to me obviously weren't wrestling fans as they only had sarcastic comments to throw out about the matches on TV. That's ok though, the atmosphere isn't for them. It's for wrestling fans who appreciate it! I got the Tombstone with an extra patty and the Vader tots. The only thing I would change is getting ranch with the tots as ketchup was kind of an odd choice. Service was great, had a couple pints and my bill was reasonable for as much food as I got and the beers. Will definitely make a trip back up just to come here again!

This place is a must visit. The staff are incredibly nice, helpful and patient. Despite the crowd, they took the time to speak to us and explain the menu to us. Also helped us out with recommendations. The bartender helped me pick out a good local beer, too. The burgers were fantastic. The tombstone is classic burger with bacon - and a beautiful patty. The fries were my favorite, and the mac and cheese was pretty good too. All in all, highly recommend!

I had never heard of The Flying Elbow but was looking for somewhere to eat while traveling. The food pics and reviews were great so I gave them a try. I got the Nacho Man Burger, made it a double, with fries. I was beyond impressed! The flavors of the ingredients all worked great together leaving me satisfied with my choice. This sandwich is the cream of the crop when it comes to burgers.
