ShortE's BBQ offers some of the best barbecue in central Iowa. The brisket is great, and the smoked turkey is exceptional. Customers highly enjoy the spicy corn, pork, brisket, wings, and ribs. The restaurant features a friendly and efficient staff, with a casual atmosphere that includes televisions and a patio for outdoor dining. There is a bar for those seeking adult beverages, and a variety of barbecue sauces on all tables, ensuring everyone finds a flavor they like. The menu includes all the BBQ regulars, such as ribs, smoked wings, pulled pork, and sausage, along with daily specials that can help save money. The waitstaff brings food to tables promptly, and customers praise the delicious, melt-in-your-mouth burnt ends, flavorful smoked wings, and the crispy, crunchy coleslaw. The brisket crust is described as tasty, and the hearty Texas toast is a favorite. While the prices are higher than some similar places, the quality of food and service make it worth a visit. Some reviews mention issues with customer service, especially regarding the kids eat free deal, but overall, the restaurant is known for its top-notch barbecue and welcoming atmosphere.
