17 Best Barbeque Restaurants near West Des Moines

“New to the East side, and still are working on getting correct orders because of that, but we were glad there were a couple of order mistakes because we got to try things we might not have otherwise! The brisket sandwiches are amazing as is the smoked Turkey! Piled high with just the right amount of smoke and the sauce was perfect! I’m glad I got the smoked Turkey as it was tender and juicy,. I am allergic to onions so I usually can’t eat potato salad at restaurants, but their has no onions and was wonderful! And the fried Okra was so good! It was getting busy, so the owners little girl brought us menus and we were got to talk to her… such a nice family and such a great addition to the East side! We will definitely be back“

“It needs salt. There must have been 0 salt used. The food came out fast, and there was plenty. The brisket was tender and saltless,ergo tasteless. Glad she asked me what kind of sauce we wanted to take with us, because, the BBQ brisket darn sure needed it“

“Food was good and hot when it arrived. Server was pleasant and efficient.“

“Typically great bbq places are not known for their sides, but Jethro's is an exception. The mashed potato and sausage gravy is outstanding. Hot tip, the rib platter comes with two sides; get both mashed potatoes. You won't be disappointed. Oh, and the ribs are as good as any in the country.“

“Quite possibly the best bbq on the planet!! They had lots of gluten free choices.. all meat and sauces are gluten free. Although they served the food with 4 huge slices of bread which seems unnecessary and is totally cross contamination. The brisket was melt in your mouth amazing! The garlic Parmesan potatoes were very delicious!“

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

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

“everything was delicious“

“My coworker and I have frequently been eating lunch on Thursdays due to our schedule allowing time to do so. Brandi Stanley has been our server the last 2 times and she has been awesome. Her professionalism, courteous disposition and prompt service is why we have come back. She ought to be commended for her service.“

“Got the wings with Korea BBQ, it was good but nothing that made it stick out from any other good wings, I asked about the brisket if it was wet or dry. I was told it was dry but they had sauce on the table. Dry brisket doesn’t make since to me and yes I have made brisket and it was wet. Beer could have been colder but was served chilled. It’s still a good spot to go but nothing to write home about.“

“They were the selected food vendor for the Junior Olympics Swimming so I can't rate the atmosphere since it was at a pool.

I had the pulled pork sandwich which was delicious and I was surprised by the guy working with the bacon wrapped ribs. I feel like the warmer kept cooking ribs so they didn't have that pow one would expect, they were still delicious though. I wish I would have visited their brick & mortar location to try more stuff.“
