Thanksgiving Day Trivia!

Where does the time go?? We can't believe it's already Thanksgiving! One more blink and it will be Christmas and then New Year's. Perhaps it really is true what they say... Time flies when you're having fun!

We certainly have been having a wonderful time. Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Iowa just celebrated an awesome opening weekend. We've already said this, but thanks again to everyone who came out and celebrated with us!

We're going to keep the fun rolling this Thanksgiving week. We will be closed on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day so that our employees can spend time with their families, but we'll be open and ready for business Friday! To help get you in the Thanksgiving mood, the Wobbly Boots Iowa team has put together a list of hilarious, entertaining, and (somewhat useless) Thanksgiving Trivia. Enjoy!

Wobbly Boots Has Arrived in Clive, Iowa!

Ladies and gentlemen, the team at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse is thrilled to finally announce the day you've all been waiting for... Our second location in Clive, Iowa is officially open!! We're unbelievably excited to bring the best BBQ from mid-Missouri straight to the Des Moines area. If you're from Iowa, you can forget having to drive all the way to the Lake of the Ozarks to experience our award-winning barbecue - it's now just outside your front door!

Opening Celebration

We've been working to get our new location up and running for several months, and we're definitely not going to open quietly! Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Clive, Iowa is going to kick things off with a fantastic opening celebration - and we want YOU to be part of the fun!

Join us Friday and Saturday, November 21 and 22 for a opening weekend like you've never before seen. Our talented cooks and servers will be bringing you the best barbecue, pork tenderloin, and cold drinks that you've ever tasted. We're also going to feature live entertainment by one of the Lake of the Ozarks' best entertainers, Mr. Dale Blue himself! Dale Blue will be playing at 9:30 PM both Friday and Saturday night.

Dale Blue - "The Barefoot Entertainer"

Known for his barefoot entertainment style, Dale Blue has developed a loyal following at the Lake of the Ozarks and across the mid-Missouri area. Armed with his quick sense of humor, a guitar, audience participation, and no shoes, Dale Blue delivers one outstanding performance after another. He recently became co-owner of The Fish And Company (waterfront restaurant at the Lake). He performs there every Thursday-Sunday during the summer season, but he still finds time to travel and perform at other venues.

All of us at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse are very excited to host this talented performer on Friday and Saturday night. We hope you'll be here to help us give him a warm, Iowa welcome!

Wobbly Boots Iowa - What's Not to Love?

Our new location has been a dream for several months, and we can't believe it's finally turned into a reality! We promise to provide our customers with the best barbecue they've ever imagined in a truly outstanding atmosphere. We can't wait to celebrate our opening weekend with you all!!
