Unique Loose Meat Sandwich

In 1926, Fred Angell, a respected butcher in Muscatine, Iowa, combined a special cut and grind of meat with a selected set of spices and created the one and only Maid-Rite sandwich.

As legend goes, Mr. Angell asked a delivery man, at his restaurant, to taste his newest sandwich creation. After a few bites, the taster exclaimed, “You know, Fred, this sandwich is just made right.” Thus our signature sandwiches name was born. Maid-Rite has withstood the test of time for over 80 years.

From our humble beginnings of a restaurant owned by a man with a dream of serving great tasting food, the sandwich that was “TOO GOOD TO BE A PATTY” was established. Maid-Rites are cooked in a delicious special seasoning in our special cut of ground beef and served on a warm home-maid bun.

In addition to our signature Maid-Rite ground beef sandwiches, our delicious menu also includes such popular items as breaded tenderloins, maid-fresh-daily French fries and home-maid onion rings. Our Blue Bunny Ice Cream Shoppes serve waffle cones, hand dipped hard packed malts & shakes along with classic hot fudge, caramel, strawberry sundaes and parfaits. For true ice cream lovers, the Maid-Rite Blue Bunny Ice Cream Shoppes have specialty desserts like Chocolate Lovers Hot Fudge Brownie, MEGA size banana splits, Hot Fudge Double Mint Delights, and Cotton Candy ice cream sprinkles for kids.
