I wish I could give a great review, but I can’t. Yesterday we ordered two orders of burnt ends, it was just pulled pork, definitely not burnt ends. It was flavorless. We found a hair in the Mac and cheese. Which was very watered down. My chicken sandwich had a white piece of plastic in it. The green beans tasted freezer burnt. We ended up just tossing everything. Not worth the $45 we paid.
great food great employees 12/10
I had Starbeck’s cater our Easter dinner, and it was all absolutely delicious! Delivery was prompt and professional. Food was hot and there was plenty of it. Everyone was happy and we had a ton of leftovers. It’s hard to find quality catering in the Cedar Valley, but Starbeck’s definitely has it!
Worker was doing general vacuuming during our meal, couldn’t wait until closing. Beer was a bit flat, maybe a bit old. Meals were good.

I was a little disappointed in the food. I got the burnt ends and ribs, and some of it was so tough I couldn't chew and had to spit out. The parts that were tender were delicious, though.

Honestly nothing but good things to say about this place. The woman working was SO sweet and helpful. She brought our food to our table, helped us with ordering, and even came around with free fresh out of the oven chocolate chip cookies for my kids. My kids are already asking when we can come back because their food was so delicious and the people here are so nice. Highly recommend!

Did not have anything we ordered for food and didn't know until after we had to order two different time.
Wouldn't even give them a star but no stars was not an option.

Great BBQ meats and quality sides with a nice beer selection. The dining area near the bar has table service, and the rear area is a traditional order-at-the-counter section. Love the lighting and wall/ceiling decor. This is one of our main stops in Waterloo.

Amazing Food!!!! Took the family in tonight and they loved it! Their ribs, pulled pork, burnt ends, mashed potatoes, cheese curds and corn were all fantastic. Our 3 kids said the next time they want to go back there, over anywhere else in the Cedar Valley! Jeff and his team were super friendly and made our visit so inviting. 🙂
Genuine southern BBQ. My favorite place in Iowa. Absolutely everything is slowly made in house and is phenomenal.
