Tasty Goodness All "Wrapped" Up - Our Delicious Wobbly Wraps

Sometimes you're in the mood for a big, hearty meal, while other times a sandwich is the perfect thing to hit the spot. Where do wraps fit in? Well, the wraps at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse take the savory, hickory-smoked meats you'll find on our dinner plates and roll them up in sandwich-like form inside a tasty tortilla. You get the big flavor of the best BBQ in Des Moines in a convenient, hand-held version. 



Wraps really haven't been around all that long, at least commercially. They started showing up sometime in the 80's and continued to gain popularity through the 90's. One origin story tells the tale of the California chain "I Love Juicy" inventing this new "sandwich" to resemble a Tex-Mex burrito. Of course, as with most origin stories when it comes to food, there's rarely just one. In the mid-90's, Connecticut's "Bobby Valentine Sports Gallery Cafe" claimed to invent the wrap when one of their waitresses served it because they had run out of bread. 

Full of Flavor and Goodness
Regardless of where it originated, Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Clive has most definitely perfected this delicious dish. We start out with the most savory meats and then add fresh and flavorful ingredients, including lettuce, tomato, and a variety of cheeses. Lastly, all of those incredible flavors are wrapped up inside either a wheat tortilla, which is known to be high in fiber, B vitamins, and a multitude of minerals, or a tomato-basil tortilla, which adds a touch more deliciousness to the mix.

Our Wobbly Wraps are enough to satisfy your hunger on their own, but they look so lonely on the plate by themselves that we can't resist serving them along with your choice of one of our homestyle side dishes. As for the wraps, your choices include: 



Turkey Bacon Ranch
The original Wobbly Boots' wrap! Lightly grilled turkey breast served in a warm tomato basil tortilla, stuffed full of bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar-jack cheese & ranch dressing.

The Wrangler
A wheat tortilla stuffed with three of our signature items: pulled pork, legendary baked beans & creamy coleslaw. We then place it on our grill and toast the tortilla, blending all three flavors, which makes one incredible WRAP!

Grilled Shrimp

Grilled jumbo shrimp with bacon, lettuce, tomato & cheddar-jack cheese all wrapped up in a warm tomato basil tortilla.

Turkey Avocado

Hickory smoked 100% breast of turkey served in a warm tomato basil tortilla with avocado, avocado mayo, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheddar-jack cheese.

Honey Mustard Chicken
Our charbroiled chicken breast cooked perfectly with bacon, lettuce, tomatoes , mozzarella-provel cheese & our house-made honey mustard dressing, served in a warm wheat tortilla. Delicious!

Buffalo Chicken Strip
Our homemade chicken strips fried to golden perfection and tossed in our homemade buffalo sauce, with lettuce, tomato, cheddar-jack cheese and ranch dressing, served in a warm wheat tortilla.




Are you ready to give one of our Wobbly Boots Roadhouse wraps a try? If you're having a hard time deciding which one to start with, bring a friend. You can each order a different one and trade halves. Then you're already 1/3 of the way through trying them all! We're also happy to make recommendations when you dine at our BBQ restaurant in Des Moines, but it's all so good, sometimes we have a hard time deciding ourselves! So go ahead, pick any of them. You're sure to be happily satisfied.

7 Great Reasons To Throw A Holiday Party

The holidays are here! Schedules seem to get very hectic for most people this time of year, but hosting your own holiday party allows you to control some of that chaos. This is especially true when you use the best catering in the Des Moines area to take care of a large portion of the planning. Just in case you need a little convincing, Wobbly Boots Roadhouse has 7 great reasons why you should host a holiday party this year. 



#1 - Throw the party you've always wanted to attend!
When you are the one in charge of the party planning, or the person in charge of hiring the person that will do the planning, you get to choose the details. The food that is served, the music that is played, the formality, the length, the guest list, and everything else can be done the way that you enjoy most. No need to suffer through what someone else thinks is a good time.   

#2 - It's easier than buying presents.
With some creative wording on the invitation, you can let your guests know that this party is your "gift" to them. That means you don't have to rack your brain thinking up the perfect present or brave the holiday crowds at the store. Once the party is over, your gift-giving is done. (Although, Wobbly Boots gift cards are easy to shop for and always happily received too!)   

#3 - A great excuse to dress up.
If you're the type of person that loves a good excuse to put on a fancy new outfit and show it off, throw a holiday party! As a matter of fact, when you host it in your own home, your closet is right there, so you can even work in a few wardrobe changes if you like. Instead of dressing up in your formal best, you could also go casual and ask everyone to dress in festive colors or those dreaded ugly holiday sweaters. (Of course, if you aren't the type of person who likes the idea of having to put an outfit together, refer to #1 of this list and ignore this reason altogether.) Come on into the Boot with those ugly sweaters... we would LOVE to see it!  



#4 - A wonderful way to say "Thank you!" 
Throwing a party is a wonderful way to let the people in your life know that you appreciate what they do. Whether it's the people that work for you or a club or organization you are a part of, a holiday party is a fun and festive chance to say "Thanks!" 

#5 - A great excuse for a reunion.
Not only are the holidays a nice time to get together with family you don't see a lot the rest of the year, but it's also a perfect excuse for getting the old gang back together. Throw a party for your high school clique, best friends from college, that bunch of people you worked with at that awesome job once... you get the idea. Invite them all to a party so you can reminisce about the good ol' days.  

#6 - You need a fun night out. 
Just because you are hosting a holiday party, that doesn't mean you have to have it at your place. The best BBQ restaurant in Des Moines has an excellent private party room for you and your guests to use. All you have to do is let us know the date and the food you want to serve, and we'll take care of the cooking, the serving, and the cleaning up when it's all over. If this sounds like the best way to go, give us a call at 515-223-5700 to make your reservation.    

#7 - You don't have to get out. 
On the other hand, if you would rather get to stay home and have everyone else come to you, we can help you with that too! You work on getting the place ready and we'll take care of the cooking. We have a delicious menu full of mouthwatering items for you to choose from, and as long as arrangements are made at least 24 hours in advance, you spend a minimum of $100, and you are in the Des Moines area, we'll load up the Wobbly Boots Roadhouse delivery van and bring it all to you, hot and ready!  



Are you totally convinced and ready to throw a party? Give our incredible Des Moines catering team a call at 515-223-5700 and let us help you get the party planning started!

Enjoy Thanksgiving Lunch or Dinner With Us At Wobbly Boots Roadhouse

Our family restaurant in Des Moines will be open for Thanksgiving this year on Thursday, November 23, 2017, from 11:00 am - 7:00 pm. You don't have to worry about cooking for everyone. Let Wobbly Boots Roadhouse take care of all of that for you. As an added bonus, when you enjoy our Thanksgiving Day Buffet, you don't have to worry about doing the dishes after dinner either! 



Thanksgiving Day Buffet
It doesn't matter if you are on your own this Thanksgiving or if your entire family is joining you, everyone is welcome at the Boot. Maybe you've got a group of friends with nowhere to go and nobody to cook. Bringing them all here is the perfect solution. 

We'll be serving up our delicious hickory-smoked turkey along with some unbelievable side dishes, buffet style. For just $13.99 per person, you will be able to enjoy:
  • Hickory-Smoked Turkey
  • Cheesy Corn
  • Green Beans
  • Stuffing
  • Mashed Potatoes & Gravy
  • Homemade Cornbread 

Thanksgiving Day Football
While you're are enjoying that delicious Thanksgiving buffet, we'll have all of the holiday sports action playing on our 17 TVs. There's not a bad seat in the house at Wobbly Boots BBQ when you want to catch a game! 

The Vikings take on the Lions at 11:30 am, and the Chargers face the Cowboys at 3:30 pm. (Knowing that will probably make it easier to decide what time you want to come in and eat!) Don't forget to make it back here on Friday afternoon to catch the Iowa Hawkeyes at Nebraska at 3:00 pm. 



Take a Black Friday Shopping Break
Black Friday is always a hectic and long day if you're a bargain shopper. You'll need to swing by the Boot at some point to refuel so that you can get back out there and keep going! It's also a great place to hang out if you're trying to avoid those crowds. 

Even though it's still part of most people's extended holiday weekend, it is technically a weekday, which means that our awesome Happy Hour will be in full swing from 3-6 pm. That's just in time for the Hawkeyes game! What a happy coincidence! 



Take it easy on yourself this Thanksgiving and celebrate here with us at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse. You'll be with great company eating a deliciously mouthwatering meal and enjoying Thanksgiving Day football, and you don't have to clean anything up once you're done!

The buffet will be available from 11:00 am - 7:00 pm, so come in whenever you like. On Friday, our Des Moines BBQ Restaurant will be back to regular business hours, ready and waiting to celebrate an incredible weekend with you!

10 of Our Top Menu Items (How Many Have You Tried?)

The diverse menu we have to offer not only includes the best BBQ in Des Moines, but also many other delicious dishes to please any appetite. Today's blog has a tasty look for you at 10 of the most popular menu items at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse. Get ready for your mouth to start watering! 


WOBBLY WINGS
Our JUMBO chicken wings have been bringing people to this BBQ restaurant in Des Moines since we originally opened the doors! The dry rub that we prepare them with is fantastic, and the slow-roasting process over hickory turns them into the most mouthwatering wings you've ever tasted. People love eating them plain, but we've also got some popular sauces to coat them in: Teriyaki, Hot Dijon Sauce, Jalapeno Garlic, Chipotle Buffalo, and Bar-B-Que



BURNT ENDS
This delicacy starts out as Beef Brisket, but the small chunks from the ends of the beef are removed, covered in extra rub, our house BBQ sauce, and delicious Guinness beer. After that, they get additional time in the smoker which turns them into the tender, flavorful pieces of beef that customers at the Boot can't seem to get enough of! 



TENDERLOIN
The Famous Tenderloin is an Iowa tradition, and our kitchen does this tradition proud! We offer a generous cut of pork tenderloin (so much that it hides the bun beneath,) tenderize it, hand-dip it in buttermilk, and then bread it in our specially seasoned flour and breadcrumbs. This baby's as big as the plate, and we can't help but be proud of it!



RIBS
You can't run a successful BBQ restaurant in Des Moines without having some amazing ribs on the menu like these! Our dry-rubbed Baby Back Ribs spend the perfect amount of time in the smoker, and then they're lightly grilled and basted in our delicious house recipe BBQ sauce. We offer a half rack option, but if you get the full rack, that could mean you'll have tasty leftovers later! (Although it's tough to quit eating once you get started!) 



HICKORY-SMOKED MEATS
We've mastered the precise amount of time that each of our hickory-smoked meats needs to be in the smoker, and the result is the most tender, juicy, flavorful plates full of goodness you have ever tasted! Whether you decide to enjoy one on a bun or prefer to have a few different types together on a plate, your hunger will be happily satisfied. Your choices include Hand-Pulled Pork, Sliced Turkey Breast, Sweet Smoked Italian Sausage, Applewood Smoked Pit Ham, and Tender Smoked Brisket



SMOKED TURKEY
It's like Thanksgiving any day you decide to order our incredible Smoked Turkey Dinner. We take a generous portion of our all white meat smoked turkey breast and serve it open-faced with smashed potatoes and covered in delicious turkey gravy. Now that's a comfort food!  



SMOKED MEATLOAF
Our Smoked Meatloaf is not exactly like your mom used to make, but it's definitely every bit as good! We add our own Wobbly Boots BBQ twist by slow-roasting our handmade meatloaf instead of baking it. This mouthwatering dish is served open-faced with smashed potatoes too and covered with brown gravy. Absolutely one of our best! 



BLACK ANGUS BURGERS
As is evident from this list already, we don't just do great BBQ. Our diverse menu is filled with all kinds of delicious dishes, including the best burgers in the Midwest. All of our burgers are created with 100% hand-pattied Black Angus ground chuck, cooked on a flat-top iron, and served on a fresh soft bun. As if that wasn't enough on its own, we've come up with some amazing topping combinations to give you lots of delectable burger choices.    


BIG CITY FLATBREADS
Anyone can make a flatbread, but not just anyone can make a great flatbread with toppings that make your taste buds smile. Here at the Boot, we've got 4 different versions of our Big City Flatbreads to tempt you. These include Spin-Art-Chicken, using our homemade Spinach Artichoke Dip, BBQ Chicken with our homemade BBQ sauce, the B-L-T using homemade cheese sauce, and Crab Rangoon with our unbelievable crab rangoon filling. You'll want to come back often so you can try all four.



SMOKED PRIME RIB
The taste of our Prime Rib Dinner makes it special, but the fact that you can only get it on Fridays and Saturdays after 5 pm makes it an extra-special weekend treat. You can get either a 10-oz or 14-oz savory cut of Smoked Prime Rib with Texas Toast and your choice of 2 of any of our home-style side dishes. Instead of TGIF, it's more like TGIPR!  



That's just the beginning! You'll find a wonderful variety of different dishes on the menu at our family restaurant in Des Moines, including options that even the finickiest of eaters will love. Come on in to Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Clive soon and let us help you find your new favorite food!

5 Reasons To Bring The Kids To Eat At Wobbly Boots Roadhouse

Wobbly Boots Roadhouse isn't only the best restaurant in the Des Moines area for delicious, hickory-smoked BBQ, it's a pretty awesome place to order a kids' meal too. Our menu designed especially for the younger crowd features classic kids' favorites plus a few tastes you can only get here at the Boot.

There are lots of great restaurants out there to choose from, but children always seem to love coming to Wobbly Boots BBQ for dinner. Here are 5 reasons why you should bring your kids to dine with us soon. 



Sometimes Kids' Meals Are FREE
Yes, you read that right, we said FREE! All day on Tuesdays plus every Sunday evening after 5 pm you can get a free meal off of the kids' menu with the purchase of an adult meal. You all get fantastic food, and Mom and Dad get to save a little money! Some restrictions may apply, so be sure to ask your server for details.  

Great Food For The Grownups
There are a lot of places that children love to eat that don't really offer much for the adults to enjoy. That's not the case at the Boot! You can get just as excited as the kids when you dine with us because our menu is filled with down-home deliciousness that simply can't be beat. Whether you're in the mood for hickory-smoked meats, big city flatbreads, classic BBQ dinners, big fresh salads, or Black Angus burgers, you'll find all of that those plus a whole lot more on our extensive menu.  
Kids Love To Get Messy
Once you start adding our mouthwatering housemade BBQ sauce to a meal, things tend to get a little messy. When something tastes that good, you simply can't take the time to wipe your mouth between every bite... that would take too long to get to the next bite! Plus, the more you get on your hands, it's literally "finger-licking good!" Don't worry, it washes off easily, and we've got lots of wet wipes handy. Let the kids have some messy fun. (You're more than welcome to join them!" 

Family Friendly Atmosphere
The restaurant has plenty of seating for groups both large and small, and once you walk through our doors, you're a part of our extended family. Our friendly staff will make sure you are taken care of, and they're always happy to offer suggestions if you can't decide. As a bonus, if you have a family full of sports fans, we've got 17 TVs so you can all cheer on your favorite teams together.  



The Menu Speaks For Itself
Once you get a look at the tasty meals we have in store for kids ages 10 and under, that will really seal the deal. Each of these meals also comes with a drink.    


Pork Slider with fries
Chicken Strips with fries
Grilled Cheese with fries
Mini Corn Dogs with fries
Kids Cheeseburger with fries
Boat of Homemade Mac & Cheese

So what are you waiting for? The next time the family is trying to decide where to go for dinner, just say "Wobbly Boots Roadhouse." After hearing that, the kids will be racing you to the car! Everybody has a good time at our family-friendly restaurant in Des Moines, and everybody leaves with a full belly and a great big smile on their face! And remember, if you come in anytime on Tuesdays or after 5 pm on Sundays, the kids can eat for free!
