    Potato casserole + ribs + burnt ends sandwich = best combo ever. I ate at this place during a road trip from Michigan to California. It was right along the way, and only a couple minutes from the I-80

    If you need to feed a small group, make it easy and order the whole pit. Has all the meats and 3 pints of sides. Says it will feed 4-6 ppl, but that's very hungry people so be prepared for leftovers

    There are a lot of great BBQ places in the metro, with great ribs, but the ribs here are the BEST. Score yourself the potato casserole as the top side.

    Love the bbq ribs and smoked sausage. For sides, the cucumber and onion slaw and the mac and cheese. Cheese curds are good too.

    Its intense, but the Farm Boy is a must try. Expect it to feed 4-6 people. Its a pork tenderlioin with white gravey covered with spud sticks shredded cheese and bacon. Comes on a pizza pan.

    Best BBQ joint in Des Moines in my opinion, and Des Moines has a lot of good ones.

    Was terrified at first sight of my burnt ends sandwich--large cubes of meat that I was sure would wear out my jaw long before I could finish it. I couldn't have been more wrong. Tender and tasty.

    Only been there once, but less than impressed with the brisket and chopped pork. Very little smoke flavor in either of the meats. The sauces are excellent, and beans are quite good.

    Get the brisket sandwich with spud sticks with ranch and an apple dumpling for dessert. Must use sassy sauce for brisket sandwich.

    If you can tear yourself from the BBQ, the pulled pork nachos are incredible, and enough to feed six!

    Good potato cass! Try the fried pickles-pretty awesome! (Imagine fried jalepenos without the spice.) Very, very good!

    Ribs were greasy, burnt ends tasted like leftovers that were reheated! We’ve been there a dozen times, it was always great!

    Smoked Turkey is amazing. Big fan of the x-fiery BBQ sauce and baked beans as well. Their parking is terrible though.
