Down Home Sandwiches at Wobbly Boots!

Come on, we're all thinkin' it... Sometimes, you just really can't beat a good, old fashioned, down home sandwich! If you've been craving some delicious home cooking (that YOU didn't have to make), then come on out to Wobbly Boots in Clive, Iowa. We've got a section of our menu dedicated to our down home sandwiches, and you're going to love every single one of them!

Smothered Brisket
Yep... It's pretty much perfect. It's a hickory smoked brisket smothered in sauteed mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers, topped with melted Swiss cheese. Sounds like heaven on earth!

Southern Style Pork
It's a beautiful blend of cultures. This unique dish lets you try our traditional pulled pork sandwich with a Carolina twist: it's topped with our creamy cole slaw.

Texas 2-Step
Did you know that it's more than just a dance? It also comes in this form - smoked beef brisket with smoked sausage, drizzled with our house recipe BBQ sauce, and served on golden Texas toast.

Prime Rib French Dip
It's everything you were expecting - in a truly delicious sense! Enjoy thin shaved smoked prime rib and melted Swiss cheese on French bread, served with a side of au jus.

Catfish Filet
What's not to love? This Southern-style catfish filet has been coated in seasoned corn meal and fried to a golden brown. It's served on a hoagie bun with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and chipotle mayo.

Hand-Breaded Pork Tenderloin
It's not hard to figure out how this one became an Iowa tradition! This generous cut of pork tenderloin is hand-dipped in buttermilk, then breaded in our seasoned flour and fried to a golden brown. 

Prime Rib Melt
We don't know about Mary Poppins, but this sandwich is practically perfect in every way. Succulent, house-smoked, shaved prime rib is topped with Swiss on grilled sourdough bread. Served with our house-made horsey sauce on the side for an extra kick!

Wobbly Style Club
Who needs all those flashy descriptors? This sandwich is equally delicious with its simple hickory smoked ham, turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, provolone cheese and avocado mayo served between two pieces of sourdough toast.

Reuben
Sometimes, it's hard to beat a good, old fashioned reuben sandwich. You can't go wrong with this classic marbled rye bread, house smoked corn beef, warm sauerkraut, 1000 island dressing, and melted Swiss cheese.

Chicken Tender Basket
... Okay, so maybe it's not a sandwich, but it's too good not to mention! All these white boneless chicken tenders are hand cut, buttermilk battered and breaded, and delectably fried.

The best part? All of these sandwiches (and the chicken tender basket) each come with your choice of side! If you're looking for a feast fit for a king, you'll have to try our amazing sandwiches. They'll be hot, ready, and waiting for you at our family restaurant in Clive, Iowa! Don't forget to pair them with any the classic signature drinks at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse - ask your server for drink recommendations!

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!
