- Jordan MillerJune 11, 2015Potato 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.
- Colleen JonesJuly 13, 2014Love the bbq ribs and smoked sausage. For sides, the cucumber and onion slaw and the mac and cheese. Cheese curds are good too.
- Mimi WarnerDecember 7, 2013Its 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.
- James JonesMarch 28, 2014Was 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.
- Jason MenkeAugust 23, 2011Only 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.
- Cody GillelandJuly 25, 2013Get the brisket sandwich with spud sticks with ranch and an apple dumpling for dessert. Must use sassy sauce for brisket sandwich.
- Christina BuchananSeptember 18, 2014We love Smokey D's, it is the best of the best in everything BBQ!!!
- Robin TeraiAugust 31, 2016You can never go wrong with the Burnt Ends, Ribs and their Mac & Cheese. You'll never be disappointed!
- If you can tear yourself from the BBQ, the pulled pork nachos are incredible, and enough to feed six!
- OrchidDecember 9, 2014So good! The Mac and cheese is my favorite thing, I could eat a billion side orders of it!
- Danny BegnocheJuly 25, 2014Amazing ribs, great drink prices, top of the line service. Seriously one of my new favorite restaurants.
- I absolutely *LOVE* the tenderloin, but everything I've had so far is terrific :-)
- Steven DenisonDecember 19, 2014Some of the best BBQ I have ever eaten. The smoked wingers are also a must try!
- Tom HardingeJanuary 21, 2013The burnt ends are fantastic, and the potato casserole is the best side on the menu.
- Jessica PrestonJuly 1, 2011Good potato cass! Try the fried pickles-pretty awesome! (Imagine fried jalepenos without the spice.) Very, very good!
- James ArmstrongJuly 6, 2019Ribs were greasy, burnt ends tasted like leftovers that were reheated! We’ve been there a dozen times, it was always great!
- Jessika BotruffJuly 6, 2013Delicious Mac & cheese & garlic bread. Kids meals get served on a frisbee!
- Jason WoodhamOctober 6, 2015Chopped pork,smoked sausage, potato casserole, baked beans! Great dinner! Thanks
- Austn TaylorJanuary 17, 2011Smoked Turkey is amazing. Big fan of the x-fiery BBQ sauce and baked beans as well. Their parking is terrible though.
- James JonesMarch 28, 2014Don't get the fried dill slices unless there are at least three to share them!
- Matt WahlNovember 8, 2012Bbq is a good average service is always good. I recommend the chicken nachos!
