15 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Johnston

“I’ve been traveling the state of Iowa, trying Iowa barbecue hands down! the BEST Wings, chicken & the turkey melts in your mouth“

“Great, they didn’t give us a baked potato that was ordered, but everything was delicious“

“We love Smokey's the food is exceptional as is everything else.“

“First time … we were definitely pleased! The coleslaw was a bit bland —.but I’m also pretty sure it was house made so that also brings a different level of respect for it. Everything else was phenomenal— and I’m accustomed to traditional KC BBQ fare. This place holds its own with that bar. Will definitely be back… often.“

“Amazing food, Great people working there. (had to try the corn dog as well-excellent).“

“Wow, what a great restaurant! We recently moved here and this is one of our top go to places. The food is fantastic, and served in ample portions. Highly recommend the brisket platter. Also, do not sleep on the happy hour from 3 to 6pm. May be the best deal in Iowa, half price drinks and several reasonably priced appetizers!“

“friendly staff, great menu selections to choose from. superb smoked meats and Cajun inspired dishes. a gem in Des Moines“

“We had a work dinner with a group of 8 late on a Sunday night. Andrew was our server and he was AMAZING. So fun, totally cool with our crazy ordering of everything on the menu late on a Sunday night. We LOVED him. He fit right in with the fun we were there to have. The food was MIND BLOWINGLY GREAT too. I've never had pork this good. So many fun menu options. We had a blast and Andrew was definitely a big reason. We HIGHLY recommend this place if you are looking for delish pork or BBQ in the area.“

“I worked with Cara to plan a surprise birthday party and i have to say it couldn't have gone any smoother than it did. Cara was informed on my options, flexible and extremely responsive to all of my emails. The day of the party the area we were going to be in was prepped and ready to go. The waitress Brandi absolutely knocked it out of the park. She was attentive, organized and on top of everything as well as extremely kind all night. All of the food came out hot and delicious. We so appreciate all of the hard work and assistance.“
