Our Story

If you don't know the story about how we made our way to Clive, then you've got a pretty good read waiting for you! This page clues you in on how Wobbly Boots BBQ was born at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri, but we're raising this sibling restaurant right here in good ol' Iowa. We are not a chain, we are family.

You can read all about every mouth-watering menu item that we have for you before you even get in the front door. It's a good thing too, because we've stuffed this menu so full of the most amazing dishes that it's going to take you a little while to come to a decision.

Our advice is, come back often and try it all! There are over a dozen new dishes on our menu now. Just so you newbies get a taste of how large our lunch and dinner selection really is, it includes:

Appetizers
Salads
Wobbly Wraps
Big City Flatbreads
BBQ Sandwiches
Smoked Meat Plates
Classic Bar-B-Que Dinners
Black Angus Burgers
Down Home Sandwiches
Southern Comfort Food
Harvest Entrees
Just For Kidz
Home Style Side Dishes
Soups & Bakers

Bulk To Go

The next section of our website will take you directly to our catering menu. If you have a meeting full of hungry people or a big group at your home that needs to be fed, we'll cook something up for you to pick up and take to them. If you order is over $100, we have 24 hours advance notice, and you are within our delivery area, we'll load up your order in that handsome Wobbly Boots Roadhouse delivery van and bring it to you.

Private Parties

We love it when people want to share their celebrations and get-togethers here with us. Let us know you are coming and we'll make sure to reserve a special spot for you. If you have a group of 25 or larger, you can reserve our private party space.

Menu Showdown: Hand-Breaded Pork Tenderloin vs. Burnt Ends on a Bun

It's time once again for another showdown between two of the best items on the menu at our BBQ restaurant in Des Moines: the Hand-Breaded Pork Tenderloin versus our hickory-smoked Burnt Ends on a Bun. If you've dined more than once at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Clive, then there's a good chance you've tried both of these incredible sandwiches. If you haven't had them yet, it's time to get over here and figure out which one is your favorite!

Hand-Breaded Pork Tenderloin

The pork tenderloin is an Iowa tradition, and no restaurant in this state should be without an amazing version of one on their menu. Your Wobbly Boots Roadhouse kitchen has come up with one that will impress even the pickiest tenderloin aficionado.

We start out with a more-than-generous portion of meat. This is one gigantic sandwich! The next step is is to hand-dip it in buttermilk, then bread it in our expertly seasoned flour and fry it to a beautiful golden brown. It takes a big appetite to tackle this gargantuan sandwich! Think you're up to the task? It tastes so good, it's hard to stop eating once you stop.

Burnt Ends on a Bun

Our claims to fame are mouth-watering hickory-smoked meats and our house made BBQ sauce. You get a taste of both of these when you order our tender, juicy Burnt Ends. These savory beef chunks are carved right from the brisket point. Every order is seasoned, seared, and extra-smoked to the perfect captivating flavor.

We pile those burnt ends high onto a fresh Kaiser roll, then smother them in our very own secret-recipe BBQ sauce. This is yet another unforgettable sandwich that will make sure you don't go home hungry.

What's your vote?

So, what do you think? You may have a favorite simply from the description, but the best way to make an educated decision between our incredible Des Moines BBQ restaurant menu items is to taste them for yourself. Remember that these each come with your choice of a home-style side dish too, so be sure to come in hungry!

Wobbly Boots Roadhouse is open seven days a week, ready and waiting to satisfy your appetite for the best food in Des Moines. These two unbelievable sandwich choices are just the beginning of the multitude of amazing flavors waiting for you. Come in soon and try them all!

5 Tasty Drinks To Enjoy With Your BBQ

We talk a lot about our amazing, mouth-watering, hickory-smoked BBQ, but we've also got the best bar in Des Moines right here, ready to mix up delicious drinks to go along with your fantastic meal. Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Clive features a full bar, and our talented bartenders know how to make the best-tasting drinks to complement that incredible BBQ flavor.

From simple to extravagant, we're ready to mix up all of your favorite cocktails. If it's new to us, tell us what's in it, and if we've got the right stuff to make it, we'll give it a try. If you don't already have a favorite drink, here are a few tried-and-true classics that always taste just right.

Long Island Tea

A delicious cocktail that tastes tame, but packs quite a punch. A mixture of 5 different spirits along with a dash of mixer brings this favorite drink to life. It's like enjoying a cool glass of iced tea, but with an extra, yummy kick.

Moscow Mule

The Moscow Mule is a refreshing specialty cocktail made from vodka, lime, and ginger beer. The part that makes it extra special is the fact that it is served in a copper mug to keep it at the perfect, ice-cold temperature that brings out those amazing flavors. The Wobbly Boots Roadhouse drink menu offers a few yummy variations on the original recipe too.

Bloody Mary

This drink isn't just for Sunday brunches (although it is perfect for that!) A rich and tasty Bloody Mary is a wonderful drink to stand alongside the bold, hearty flavors of our incredible BBQ. As an added bonus, you're getting some of your daily vegetable serving in while you drink. (Wait, isn't a tomato a fruit...)

Margarita

It's always a good time for a margarita, and they are especially tasty in the summer when it's hot outside. Either frozen or on the rocks, it tastes great with everything on our menu. If it seems strange to you to drink this tequila cocktail without eating Mexican food, ease your guilt by having one with our BBQ Pork Nachos.

Beer

While our bartenders don't have to mix anything to hand this ice-cold, refreshment, we simply couldn't leave beer off of our list. When you walk into Wobbly Boots Roadhouse and see those glorious 18 taps featuring all of the varieties of draft beer that we have available, not to mention the wide array of bottles we carry too, you're immediately thirsty for one. We even feature many local Iowa breweries in our selection.

While it's all about BBQ here at the Boot, our mixed drinks and beer selections are pretty incredible too. The best BBQ in Des Moines always tastes a little bit better when you have something delicious to wash it down with. Head on over to Wobbly Boots Roadhouse soon and tell our 'tenders what you'll have to drink. Join us for Happy Hour every Monday-Friday from 3-6 pm, and we'll even give it to you at a special price.

Don't forget you can take home 16 oz. bottles of Wobbly Boots House Recipe BBQ Sauce!!

5 Things You'll Want to do After Dining on Wobbly Boots BBQ

Your plates that were just recently filled with the best BBQ in Des Moines have been cleared, your stomach is happy, as well as your taste buds, and it seems like there's nothing else to do but pay your bill and head home. Not true! We love having you here at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse with us, so we've come up with 5 things that you can do after you eat to stick around a while longer.

Wash your hands.

We strongly encourage our customers to dig right in when we hand them a big ol' plate of BBQ. It's okay if you get a little messy. Heck, we expect it. We've got handy wet wipes available, but if you really enjoyed that meal, you may need to skip off to the restroom for some soap and water. Just don't forget to take a BBQ selfie before you clean up! Once that BBQ is cleaned off of your skin, you'll be ready for these next ideas.

Try some dessert.

Our meals are quite a plateful, but if you plan ahead, you just might be able to save some room for dessert. We highly suggest you give our tasty treats a try. If you're worried about feeling too full, start out with the sweets and we'll give you a doggy bag to take your leftover BBQ home in. You only live once so have some fun, flip things around, and eat dessert first!

Rustic Apple Tart
Maple Layered Cheesecake
New York Style Cheesecake
Molten Lava Cake

Stick around for a cocktail.

There is absolutely no rush for you to leave once your meal is over. Stick around and enjoy one of the amazing mixed drinks or local draft beers from our bar. An after-dinner drink is a great way to relax and let that great meal settle. We'll bring it to your table or you're more than welcome to take your party on over and pull up a seat at the bar.

Catch a game.

If you time your dinner right and it's a game night, then you're definitely going to want to stick around after dinner and cheer on your team. There's baseball on every night right now, football is just around the corner, and the Olympics begin this week. Plenty of chances to catch some sports with us.

Write a review.

We do our very best to make sure your dining experience in our Des Moines area BBQ restaurant is the best it can possibly be. Eating everything on your plate is always a good indicator that you liked it, but hearing how you felt about your visit lets us know for sure. We love to hear what you think, and we encourage you to leave reviews for us on your favorite sites: Facebook, Yelp, TripAdvisor, Google, OpenTable... Let others know what a great experience they'll be missing if they don't come in.

There are five great ideas on how to extend your visit at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse beyond your meal. Our customers are like family to us, and we want you to feel right at home while you're here. Come on in, stay for a spell, and let us treat you right.
