BBQ This

Service goes a long way with the dining experience and this place failed at that. My family and I placed a to go order and not only did they forget ¹⁄₃ of our order, but the food we did get was dry and lacked flavor, the sauce was nothing special and seemed like it was store bought. The service as I stated above was terrible, when ¹⁄₃ of our order was forgotten their response was «well we didn’t enter it in.» So it’s the customers fault you can’t enter an order? When we got the rest of our food the staff didn’t even apologize for the inconvenience of having to drive back. Bland food and awful service I’m done with this place. I will always go to Q-​Dogs over this place for Barbecue.

The Beef brisket is great, smoked turkey great, ribs great, mac n cheese great, party potato’s great, potato salad (Best I ever had), hell everything there is great! Love the food.

I love this place and come here often. The brisket is amazing so is the corn bread. They have lots of different beers as well. Just an all around breast place to get BBQ.

Great meat, but not so great sauces. Brisket is great but I tried all the sauces and none of them were really good at all. The meat was prepares pretty well, but it was a shame the sauces were not as good as the meat.

Awesome food really fast! Brisket with sweet bbq sauce is yummy and their homemade potatoe chips are one of my favorites. Tried the cheesy potatoes today and they were tasty! The whole family enjoyed and even tried new things (which doesn’t happen with a 13 year old, 5 year old and 4 year old) and everybody left full and happy. Definitely coming back and worth every penny

Its pricey but the food is delicious. We don’t dine here alot as there really isn’t table service. You stand in line get your food like at a Subway. There is a drink fountain so you can help yourself to that as well as sauces. Nice place to eat not fancy but have always had great food. I recommend the cheesy potatoes and apple crisp as well as the beef brisket and turkey.

Food was good. Service was stupid. Asked employee if half-​chicken dinner was all white meat. He asked his manager, who said yes. We recieved a half a chicken, with leg and wing still attached (dark meat). We pointed this out, were first told that if you cut into it it will be white. We explained that that wasnt how it works and requested to speak to the manager. He told us that the box they come in is labeled 100 percent white meat, and that they were told to tell customers that the chicken was as such. I feel this shows a lack of proper training and knowledge on their behalf, and I hope the owner looks into this. Doesn’t seem good. Food was ok though.

The food and service is very good.
The establishment is clean and well maintained.
I would recommend it.

I really like their pulled pork or brisket with their spicy bbq sauce. I also recommend their apple crisp for one of your sides, it is a solid dessert! Last time I came in (Memorial Day) their tables were all dirty, they were out of ice and some other things which was a bit surprising since they had at least 3 people working. The girl behind the counter was a bit rude. It was not a great visit! But, the food was good…

I came in town from California and this was the first stop for lunch. Love me some BBQ and I travel to the best BBQ houses in the country and have to say that this place is really good! I had beef brisket sandwich, cheesy potatoes and baked beans, highly recommended!

One thing I tend to crave when I am stateside is BBQ. While I love trying new foods and have other favorite types of cuisines when I am abroad, the two foods I miss the most while on an extended stint abroad: BBQ and Mexican. A good pulled pork has to be on my top 5 favorite meals… although a bad pulled pork can be a real bummer.
We had tried BBQ This in June just before I left for the UK and it was pretty good. I do like their pulled pork, but in my pulled-​pork-​eating history it isn’t my favorite. There were a number of sides to choose from and since my aunt and dad were buying pints of some of the different sides for our family lunch, I decided to use my two sides to try some things that they were not going to order. So, I tried the apple cobbler and the potato salad. Apple cobbler was far too sweet for me and someone at the table ate it, but it sure wasn’t me. And the potato salad was ok, but again, not my favorite. We also had cheesy potatoes (pretty delicious), sausage (also pretty good), corn bread (the batch we had was a bit dry), and chicken (I didn’t get to taste it).
On this most recent visit, I had been asked what I wanted for lunch and of course BBQ came out of my mouth. We stopped at BBQ this to pick up lunch for us and my brother. This time I decided to venture away from the Pulled Pork and go with the Beef Brisket Sandwich with BBQ Beans and Coleslaw. My dad and brother both had their usuals, so nothing new there. The Beef Brisket was quite thick, also quite dry. Dipped in sauce, it isn’t too bad, but it made me wish that I had stuck to the safe option. BBQ Beans were delicious and so was the Coleslaw! Overall, happier with my sides than my sandwich.
While I agree that it isn’t the best BBQ place out there, it is pretty decent and affordable.

This is a straight up BBQ joint and it feels like it. It’s pretty good prices for BBQ they also have a very nice selection of sides. I recommend the corn bread served with honey poured over top.

To pricey for what we got. Ribs were dry, thin on the bone. Also seem to be that they were overcooked. We will not use them again. Accommodations okay.

If you’ve ever eaten real BBQ stay away. Bland and boring. I really hate giving bad reviews but it’s really mediocre at best.

We live close to this place so decided to try it out. Well, it just doesn’t taste fresh which is surprising since the only thing Iowa has going for it is the corn, soybeans, and beef. You would think they have plenty of access to fresh beef. We ordered to go a slab of ribs. It was not made fresh but taken from a heated area. The mac and cheese we got was so tiny. It looked like a small side you get from KFC’s. It was not enough for two people. My coworker loves this place so go figure. To each their own.

The Good: their mild barbecue sauce is great! Service is usually pretty fast and quick, and they have a great variety. There is usually a coupon on sweet jacks, or if you go for lunch you can catch a good deal. Their wings and cornbread (when it’s warm) are awesome!
Room to improve: Their staff usually seems young and unhelpful. Also, the food quality can very from time to time when you visit, specifically the side dishes. They seem to sell out of some items at times as well so if your looking for something specific like ribs, I would call ahead.

Visiting from Texas I have a high standard for BBQ. It was just ok here. Homemade chips are wayyyyyyyyy too salty, the beans were nice and the cheesy potatoes needed salt urgently! Brisket was thick and the sausage was bland.
Needs improvement in the food, but the staff were great!

I didn’t even finish my meal, this is basic at best. The BBQ is dry, sauce is mediocre, sides are blah. Not really a BBQ place that will wow you or leave you wanting more. Would not recommend this place, better off cooking it yourself rather than coming here.

I love this place! The amount was perfect — I didn’t feel completely stuffed — and the prices were great. The sides are really good; there’s a pretty decent selection. The service is great, too; they’re really fast and friendly. I moved away, but I always go to BBQ this when I visit family in CR!

I’ve had lunch here many times and we always go on Wednesday for the special — BBQ brisket sandwich topped with melted provolone and onion strings. It comes with 1 side and a drink for $ 6.99. The brisket we had wasn’t their best effort, very dry. It took extra dosing with sauce just to get it down it. They’re usually more consistent and Ive had good luck with their catering — always well received. There’s a subtle aroma of BBQ smoke in the air when you walk in. The only downside is the meat doesn’t take on much of a smoky flavor.
My local favorite is still Tic Toc on Friday and Saturday nights. That’s when they have the wood smoker fired up. That dude can do a mean ‘que!
