Jethro's BBQ All Stars is a restaurant that offers friendly service and a clean atmosphere. The staff works efficiently and handles situations with care. The bar area is spotless, and the restaurant is known for its BBQ, with the Iowa platter being a popular choice. The corn muffins are quite sweet, and some guests prefer corn bread instead. The menu includes dishes like pulled pork, wings, brisket, pulled chicken, and the rajun Cajun sandwich. The restaurant is accommodating to dietary restrictions, offering a gluten-free menu and being aware of dairy allergies. There is a small free parking lot behind the building that can fill up quickly. The upstairs area is quieter, while the downstairs can be loud. The restaurant closes at 9 pm, and beer prices are high, which might be a concern for some. The staff has shown exceptional care, especially during difficult incidents, and many customers praise the food and service.
Recently, the restaurant has a more sports bar vibe, but it still maintains its friendly service and clean setting. The brisket was okay but not outstanding, while the jalapeno sausage was pretty good. The mac and cheese was excellent, and overall, service was great. Groups of up to 12 people had a short wait, and the waitress was upbeat and friendly. The food arrived hot and was enjoyed by all, with perfect options on the kid menu. Service was quick despite the group size, and all orders were correct. Customers noted that the food was really good, but the portions, especially the sides, were small—about two spoonfuls each. A family meal with 1/2 rack ribs, two meats, four sides, Texas toast, and a corn muffin was finished entirely, which is rare at other BBQ places. Everything was good overall, and many are eager to return to try more dishes.
