4.7 Superb 108 Reviews

1405 Walnut Street, Dallas Center

“We had our Porsche club monthly Dine and Drive at Five Points Bar and Grill last night. This was our first visit here and it was great! We had reserved parking out front for our cars, which was great and a pleasant surprise! The room for us was really nice, we had a limited menu since our group was large, we had 50 people. The menu options were a good variety, and the prices very reasonable! The food was great, and the service was too! I had the Smoked Pulled Pork sandwich, it was one of the best I’ve had! My husband and I will definitely be back!”

“Quite possibly the best bbq on the planet!! They had lots of gluten free choices.. all meat and sauces are gluten free. Although they served the food with 4 huge slices of bread which seems unnecessary and is totally cross contamination. The brisket was melt in your mouth amazing! The garlic Parmesan potatoes were very delicious!”

“They've really tried to change in the last 5 years or so. They offer daily special meals like steak night (mondays) and taco night (tuesdays). The steaks are legit some of the best I've ever had. Served with very well seasoned grilled onions and mushrooms. Always great service. Small hometown feel. Love it! They could improve the beer and liquor offerings. Very limited and no taps.”

“This is now the craphole of bar & grille places in central Iowa. While we had a good server, Sam, the rest of the experience was well below expectations. The worst wings I've ever had. Fried nuggets with sauce just poured over. What used to be really good boneless wings are now awful. Two tables there the whole night. Heard they're charging for lemon/lime slices for drinks. Needless to say will not be back under current ownership. Shame on you.”
