Destination Grille Hosts Two-Day Fair Pop-Up in Grimes
The Iowa State Fair 2025 may have closed its gates, but the flavor journey doesn’t have to end. Destination Grille is keeping the fair spirit alive with a two-day Fair Pop-Up at their restaurant in Grimes, Iowa, giving fairgoers another chance to enjoy all the flavors they loved.
From the excitement of the crowds to the overwhelming support for their dishes, D|G fans made this year’s fair unforgettable. The gluten-free Steak Tip Gnocchi was such a hit that it sold out before the final day, but it’s not goodbye forever. For two days only, guests can enjoy this savory fan-favorite — along with the full fair menu — right at Destination Grille in Grimes.
Fair Pop-Up Menu:
- Lobster Corn Dog – A must-try classic that keeps fans coming back
- Steak Tip Gnocchi – Gluten-free goodness loved by all
- Butcher’s Donut – A savory indulgence made for fair lovers
- Buckin’ Berry Lemonade – Refreshing and perfectly fruity for the season
Located at 2491 East 1st Street, the Destination Grille Fair Pop-Up runs Tuesday, August 19th, and Wednesday, August 20th, from 11AM–9PM. Guests can enjoy these 100% gluten-free dishes at the same fair-day prices, dine-in only. This is a limited-time, first-come, first-served event, so once the menu sells out, it’s gone!
Whether you couldn’t make it to the fair or just want to indulge in your favorites again, this pop-up lets you relive the excitement with the same scratch-made, gourmet fair food.
