Cattlemen's Beef Quarters

Iowa cattlemen serving high-quality beef for breakfast, lunch and dinner during the Iowa State Fair.

The Cattlemen's Beef Quarters was founded in 1985 to provide Iowa beef producers the opportunity to showcase their product at the Iowa State Fair. Our menu features Prime Rib dinners, roast beef sandwiches, various styles of hamburgers, taco salads and the famous Hot Beef Sundae, introduced for the 2006 Iowa State Fair. Breakfast is served from 6:30 AM-10 AM with all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage, eggs and drinks.

Although a few of our team members are missing from this picture, these are the faces you’ll see most often if you volunteer in the kitchen or eat at the Beef Quarters during the Iowa State Fair.

As we close the book on another successful year, we want to extend one last thank you to all our customers, volunteers, employees and sponsors for helping make it possible.

Mark your calendar for August 8, 2024!

We all know popular fair foods include things like corn dogs and funnel cakes, but what if I told you one of the best items you can find at the Iowa State Fair isn't anything fried or on a stick.

It's something called a Hot Beef Sundae!

And you don't have to make your way to the Cattlemen's Beef Quarters in Des Moines in order to get your hands on this Midwest favorite. You can make it at home with a few simple ingredients. Check out the recipe below!
