It's not every day a big-time celebrity makes a surprise visit to Minnesota, South Dakota, and Iowa.

Before his concert in Des Moines, Iowa, country singer Luke Bryan grabbed some food at a local Iowa restaurant and surprised customers and employees. That's my kind of night!

Buzzard Billy's is located at 615 3rd Street in Des Moines, which is right down the road from the Wells Fargo Arena where Luke Bryan played the final show of the Mind Of A Country Boy Tour. With a big show on the line, Luke Bryan had to eat a fantastic meal!

Buzzard Billy's specializes in authentic New Orleans, Southern-Style, & American Cuisine. Luke Bryan is from Georgia, so it seems like Buzzard Billy's in Iowa was an easy decision for dinner.

Some Iowa fans are pretty sad they missed Luke Bryan at Buzzard Billy's, especially if they were at the eatery the same day!

I knew he'd stop in there...how could he not. The food and atmosphere is amazing!
What! We missed him! Dang it, but hey thanks Buzzard Billy for the cold beer!
It's our favorite when we get to go out to eat!! Never had a bad meal!! 8 to 10 people in a group. All different orders, all love their selection!!
It sounds like Buzzard Billy's in Iowa is a huge hit! I'm sure Luke Bryan had a wonderful meal before he took the stage too!
Looks like I have to visit Buzzard Billy's the next time I'm in Iowa.
