In 2009, Woody's was voted "Best of the Best Barbeque Restaurants in America." It is also home to the best (free) cornbread in Iowa. Just add a little honey and it tastes even better!

The portion of pulled pork is a bit small, but the sauce (which is outstanding) will leave you wanting more. Don't miss the free corn bread!

With a few blocks off campus with your friends to sample a wide array of smoked Iowa meats: ham, brisket, pork and chicken, to name a few.

Delishious!! I always eat the pulled pork, cheesy potatoes and green beans! Pricey but worth every cent! Very cozy

The BBQ is amazing! Pulled pork very tender and good even without sauce. Would totally recommend stopping by.

One of the best pulled pork sandwiches in Des Moines. Hands down! And the free cornbread is to die for

The fresh corn bread is a great addition to any of the great options at Woody's. And best of all is it's free (and you can help your self to as much as you want)! :)

I sitting outside facing south and the neighbor dogs are out beware where you look... The black dog might be giving it to the boxer.
