8 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Des Moines

“My mashed potatoes had aluminium foil in them. They replaced but the meatloaf portion was 1/2 the size of the original. My husband's baked potato and meat on the top were cold. Server dropped the silverware and said he would return with clean. Never happened. Wouldn't recommend.“

“Great food and service. Delicious barbeque, and best catfish and Southern cuisine in town.“

“Came in today (Friday) around 3pm. Just in time for half-price appetizers! Happy Hour runs from 3pm-6pm Monday through Friday, apparently. We got the fried cheese squares (yum! I drizzled mine with BBQ sauce), a medium-rare bacon grilled cheese burger, and a two-meat platter with two sides. Everything came out in a timely manner, the food tasted great, right temps, the sauces were fantastic, the server and food runner were on top of things, and drinks were kept filled! Everything was perfect from start to finish! We did not experience the noise some others have complained about, but they were not too terribly busy at this time.“

“Had a very disappointing experience at DZO Korean BBQ yesterday. There were 5 of us (3 adults, 2 kids), was charged an 18% gratuity on our bill of over $200+. Upon checking online reviews later, it appears this charge only meant for parties of 6 or more. This policy was never disclose to us by the staff and we weren't even given a copy of the receipt (thank to my daughter for taking a video of me holding the receipt was able to see charges). To make matters worse, my daughter also left an additional tip, unaware of the hidden charge. Their website also fails to mention this 18% gratuity. I feel this lack of transparency regarding the gratuity and incredibly misleading like they are taking advantage of their customers. Diners should be very cautious and double-check for unexpected charges.“

“everything was delicious“

“The family stopped for lunch because they have jambalaya in the name on some of their locations and my wife is a huge gumbo fan. The food was very good. I like the jalapeno creamed corn. My wife enjoyed the gumbo. The corn muffins were very sweet and we both wished it'd been a corn bread, instead of muffin. The pulled pork was very good but they have Alabama white sauce so of course it's going to be good with that. The staff was nice. There is a tiny free lot behind the building that may fill up quickly, depending on the day's events.“
