Cornbred Barbecue Reviews
Excellent BBQ place! The smell alone is divine! We spent Valentine’s Day here for lunch! Brisket was so juicy and Omgoodness melt in your mouth tender (without being mushy) hubs devoured huge portion of the Briskey Dipper also 10:10! Jalapeño hush puppies with a spicy aïoli & hallelujah potatoes were nice balance with the meats! Never could eat it all in one meal that just means we’re also enjoying today! So juicy it warms up nicely! Highly recommend can’t wait to go back...read full review

Cornbred Barbecue is a popular restaurant known for its tasty food and great service. Customers often mention the clean environment and fair prices, making it one of the top barbecue places in Iowa. The menu offers many favorites, including candied bacon and Aardvark hot sauce. Recent reviews show a wide variety of menu choices, such as juicy and flavorful brisket, the unique Porkius Caesar, and a tenderloin dish that has been improved. Side dishes like pineapple slaw, fries, Hallelujah potatoes, and street corn are also enjoyed.
While some customers found the street corn not as great, they loved the wings (flappers), which were described as absolutely AMAZING. The salad and brown sugar lemonade also received high praise. The cornbread pudding, candy bacon strips, and mini cornbread muffins were all super good, with candy bacon earning a perfect 10/10. The service and atmosphere are considered top notch, suitable for casual dining, date nights, or family events. Despite a few minor issues, such as some drier meats, the restaurant’s commitment to a fresh, clean, and welcoming environment with a wide selection of barbecue sauces continues to impress visitors. Cornbred Barbecue remains a favorite for those seeking an excellent barbecue experience.
