It's sort of like getting to have your cake and eat it too, except that there's no cake involved in our suggestions on how to enjoy the best BBQ in Des Moines in a lighter way. Instead, it's all about how you choose to order what you eat.
Sauce on the Side
One quick and easy way to cut calories from your meal is to order the sauce on the side. This is common for salads, but you can do it with BBQ too. (Except for the Burnt Ends, which are always served "wet" with the sauce they are smoked in.) This way you can monitor exactly how much sauce makes it onto your meat and into your stomach.
Our hickory-smoked dishes are actually delicious with no sauce at all! If you like the idea of adding just a touch of our house recipe BBQ sauce for extra flavor, take a bottle home to use on all of your meals! It adds amazing flavor to just about anything.
Those gigantic, crispy, amazing Onion Rings and Creamy Homemade Mac & Cheese that come out of the Wobbly Boots Roadhouse kitchen are hard to resist. If you're trying to eat a little "lighter" for the season, we've still got some tasty options for you to enjoy. Green Beans, a Baked Potato, Cottage Cheese, or even a Side Salad may be more what you're looking for.
Be Picky About Your Meats
Some meats are a healthier choice than others, and some don't feel like they fill you up as much. Save the heavier dishes for days when you're hungrier, or wait until this winter when they're a great way to warm up on a cold day. For now, we've got lots of lighter choices for you to pick from.
Chicken and turkey are a good option, and if you're craving beef, our Prime Rib French Dip is perfect. If you opt for one of our catfish dishes, request that it be grilled instead of fried. Salads are a perfect food if you're wanting to keep things light, and most of ours come with one of our savory smoked meats as a topping. Since it can be quite a hefty meal on its own, our Cowboy Cobb is available in a half-portion order.
Drink More Water
Nothing is better for helping a person eat lighter than drinking plenty of water. It's also a great way to stay hydrated during these hot summer months. Even if you want to have tea or lemonade to wash your meal down with, have a glass of water alongside it.
You can even enjoy a cocktail with your food if you order wisely. Water and club soda as a mixer add zero calories to your liquor, and many libations taste great simply enjoyed over ice. We've got plenty of light beer options behind the bar, and a single glass of wine is usually fewer calories than a soda pop.
BBQ may have a reputation for being a "heavy" food, but if you change your ordering habits, you can still enjoy the best BBQ in Des Moines. Making healthy eating choices is a great habit to get into, and once you're used to it, having a "cheat meal" once in a while isn't so bad. You can also come into Wobbly Boots Roadhouse knowing that no matter what you decide to order, it's always going to taste amazing and have you coming back for more!
