Everything was delicious. We tried the pickleFries, sliders (three sliders, you choose what meat you’d like), cornbread and cheesy potatoes.

First time there and will NEVER go back. All our food was severely dry. Ribs, brisket and most of all the pulled pork was like eating straw! The cheesy potatoes and Mac n cheese were so dry it was just on big clump. Food wasnt even warm wvweything was old and dry. Our waitress was terrible couldn't even get drink orders correct. Got our bill and a gratuity was added to it automatically. Dinner for 2 people with tip was $77 with the automatic tip for food we couldn't even eat. Ridiculous!! Stay away from this place! Reviews says it's the best but our experience tonight was horrible! Not to mention we also had to change our orders because they ran out of ribs and fatty brisket!!! We were with 3 other couples and all their food was just as bad. They will not be back either.

The food is awesome but if you're in a hurry you might not want to pick this for a night out.Wheelchair accessibility: In front of the building there's handicap parking.

It's always a good place to stop for some BBQ and a nice cold beer. The waiting time can get a little long.

Take-out pulled pork. I called 30 minutes before and it was ready when I got there. Fast friendly pickup. Pulled pork was excellent.

I am a meat enthusiast and experienced meat smoker. I’ve traveled Texas and had some of the best if not the best bbq in the country, most recently Goldees in Ft worth. Watcha smokin doesn’t quite hit Goldees level, but it’s close! Which says a lot. I also recently ate at the #9 ranked Texas bbq establishment in TX monthly magazine, and Watcha Smokin was better!Watcha smokin is serving up legitimate central Texas smoked meat in Iowa. Brisket bark is perfect. Fat rendering is excellent. Meat is moist and tender. Smokey. This is a treasure of an establishment! I wish we had more bbq locations that took as much pride as the staff and pit masters do here.Also imo they have the best bbq sauce I’ve eaten. The neck of the wood sauce is a delight.

Very good food, the bartender was pleasant and helped me order. She sent me home with an Iowa Twinkie. Update If you take a twinkle to go. Microwave 30 sec and airfry for 3 minutes was perfect the next day. Heaven!

The brisket was super tender. The turkey was super juicy. The cheesy potatoes and baked beans were fantastic. Definitely worth the drive!

Just went here for the first time for the fiancé's birthday. We are both from out of state and were amazed by how good everything was. We will definitely be coming back.Also, I'm not sure why this place would get anything below 5 stars. The staff was super friendly and the food was amazing.

After three years of living in Iowa for vet school, I have finally found good BBQ. It's what I've missed most from living in the South and I finally found it. Their fatty brisket melts in your mouth and has the perfect bark on it. The smoke ring is a work of art. If you eat anywhere in Iowa, let it be here.

Best brisket in Iowa hands down.
