“Went here to eat w/ my girlfriends and had a fun time. :)We devoured the bread, they were so soft and fluffy.My 8 oz sirloin steak was okay - I realize that restaurants like this never really cook it the way you want, so why ask? I asked for medium rare, came out well done. Oh well. Still enjoyed my time. We will definitely come back to get the drinks they have! :)Server was very friendly and attentive, didn’t catch his name but everyone was very nice!“

“TL;DR: you will have a good time here.Overall the service and atmosphere are fantastic. The owner, Mike, happened to be in the restaurant and came over to our table to check on us a few times. Personable guy, funny.The food was in a weird spot for me. The sides were dynamite (creole mashed potatoes & and corn bread), the mains that I had (ribs, brisket) were just ok.The rub from the ribs was very smoke forward (my hands and clothes actually smelled of smoke for a while after we left) but I didn't get much in the way of flavor past the smoke. The rib meat was fine, if not a little bland.The brisket was less smoke forward but still that was the primary flavor I got. Additionally the brisket was served in one big hunk and it had the taste and feel of a pot roast moreso than what I expect brisket to taste like.The homemade sauces did a lot to impart flavor though. I would go back and try some of the other offerings though.“

“We love their food. But the Sunday brunch e-mails notice fails to mention the hours for brunch or supper. The brunch ends at 2 pm and the supper starts at 4 pm. We drove there today expecting to enjoy brunch but were about 30 minutes too late. So please mention the exact hours on your advertisement and we will be thrilled with your restaurant.“

“We were visiting from out of town in late January. Des Moines had just had a heavy snowfall and the streets were not in great shape so we wanted to find a BBQ restaurant close to our hotel and found Rrackss via the Yelp app. We were there at 6:00 on a Friday night and there were no customers in the restaurant. We thought they might be closed. Parking was limited as they share a small parking lot with other businesses. It was dark, raining hard, and the street in front of the building was very narrow because of the piled up snow and it did not feel like we could park there. The food was delicious, served quickly, and really hit the spot. Another couple came into the restaurant shortly after we did and with only four customers the waiters were able to be very attentive. Come on, Des Moines, support this great restaurant!“

“Fred Herbert told me this place is the best. He had ordered a bacon grilled cheese burger with extra swiss, no sides. It was ready in about 10 to 15. The manager, I think her name was Kya... She was patient and not being rude. That's just her tone of voice. She wasn't mad at Fred, she was just listing the sides. Take note, she doesn't have walnuts.“

“Placed an order the day prior to when needed and they had it ready at the exact time we’d requested.We ordered two family feast, an extra pound of brisket and 6 additional muffins.Our only complaint would be the meat on both feast orders seemed to be way less than the last time we ordered.If I hadn’t ordered the extra pound of brisket we wouldn’t have been able to feed everyone.These are supposed to feed a minimum of four each.No way could it have been enough.But we made do and everything taste wise was great.Big shoutout for it being ready and packed to go as we walked in. Great staff.“
