Last weekend my wife and I took off Saturday morning in the car to spend the day in McGregor, and along the long and winding way, we decided to stop off in Isle for lunch. I wasn't prepared for what I was about to experience...it might be the best potato salad I've ever experienced, and it came from this small bar on the edge of downtown Isle.

Beckham's Bar and Bistro is located on the far edge of downtown Isle, right down the road from Hardware Hank, if you've hit the bookstore you've gone too far, turn around and try again.

Last weekend, it was camp close-out weekend, with the chamber of commerce in Isle hosting a scavenger hunt. Isle's downtown was buzzing with people going from store to store, and Beckham's wasn't any different. We ended up grabbing one of the last open tables and ended up ordering burger baskets. I went with the potato salad as my side.

I'm a fan of a good potato salad, I grew up with Mrs. Gerry's standard mustard potato salad. The potato salad side I got from Beckham's was really good, and if it's from a 'big box' store I'd be surprised.

Beckham's salad had that 'yellow' hue, some dried parsley flakes on top, and then pieces of potato, and mashed potato. It was tangy, but not sour, and complemented the food well.

I'd be shocked if they were scooping a big-name brand at Beckham's, but if that's the case they've got me fooled. If you like to try new sides, and you don't mind getting out of town every now and then, Downtown Isle might be worth the ride.
