The Best Place In Des Moines To Catch All The Games

We are deep into football season, and this week our two hometown favorite college teams are meeting up once again. The best place to watch football in Des Moines, as well as every other spectator sport, is right here at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Clive. Lots of screens to watch, tons of amazing food to enjoy, refreshingly tasty beverages, and incredible specials during the games. Why go anywhere else?

Great Views
Getting to Wobbly Boots before the game guarantees that you get your favorite seat, but the way our Des Moines BBQ restaurant is set up, there's not a bad seat in the house! No matter where you end up sitting, whether at the bar or at a table, you'll have an excellent view of quite a few of our 17 televisions. You'll always find an awesome crowd here to enjoy the game along with. If you have a group of your own and would like to reserve our private party room, there are even 4 TVs in there for you to keep up on all the action.

Savory Football Food
Everyone loves enjoying delicious food while watching the game, and it doesn't get any tastier than Wobbly Boots BBQ! First of all, there are those mouth-watering, hickory-smoked meats topped with our incredible homemade BBQ sauce. Whether you have them on a bun or fill a big ol' plate along with some home style sides, you simply can't go wrong.

Finger foods are always popular too. These are awesome for sharing with a group of friends, allowing you all to have a few different flavors. Here are some of our most ordered apps:

Wobbly Wings
Jumbo chicken wings coated in our house dry rub, then slow-roasted over hickory, ensuring only the most flavorful, juiciest wings possible. We can serve them up plain or tossed in one of our signature sauces: Teriyaki, Hot Dijon Sauce, Jalapeno Garlic, Chipotle Buffalo, and Bar-B-Que.

Texas Fries
A mountain of our fries smothered in homemade queso cheese sauce, topped with bacon, cheddar-jack cheese, and green onions. Served with a side of sour cream and jalapenos.

Famous Onion Rings
A heaping stack of thick-cut yellow onions bathed in buttermilk, then hand-breaded in our seasoned flour and fried to a golden brown. Served with chipotle ranch.

Bar-B-Que Pork Nachos
A Wobbly favorite!! A bed of crispy tortilla chips smothered in our homemade queso, then topped with our house smoked pulled pork and legendary baked beans. Finished with cheddar-jack cheese, tomatoes, and onions. Served with salsa, sour cream, and jalapenos. Available in a full or half order.

Thirst Quenchers
In addition to the refreshing non-alcoholic beverages that we serve, you'll find the best bar in Des Moines, fully stocked with all of your favorite libations and featuring many of the very best Iowa craft beers. With 18 taps, there is always a wide variety of draft beers to choose from. Our bartenders also mix up a pretty mean cocktail, including the famous Moscow Mule in that cool copper mug.

Unbelievable Specials
As if the multiple television screens, amazing drinks, and best food in Des Moines wasn't enough to convince you to enjoy all of your favorite sports right here with us, we also offer unbelievable specials during every football game! During any college or NFL football game, you can get $3 Tall Boys to quench your thirst and fill your belly with $5 versions of all of the appetizers that we listed above. Great deals, great tastes, great sports, and great people to watch the game with... everything you could possibly need!

Party Thursday - Rose Bowl Friday - Happy New Year!

Not only do you have the opportunity to celebrate the end of 2015 with an unbelievable party at your favorite BBQ restaurant in Des Moines, but you can also join us to begin 2016 watching the amazing Iowa Hawkeyes play in the Rose Bowl. It's looking like one pretty incredible early weekend here at the Boot.

MUSIC
First of all, we'll begin Thursday with the best New Year's Eve party in Des Moines. The 4-piece band, Past Vertical, will be rocking our Wobbly Boots Roadhouse stage from 9 pm - 1 am, and there is absolutely NO COVER CHARGE to enjoy them! Our marvelous bartenders will keep your drinks full all night long, and at midnight we will all share a free champagne toast.

FOOD
In addition to all of the drinking and dancing, we are featuring a special New Year's Eve menu. The Wobbly Boots kitchen will be offering up some delicious meals that we don't normally make. You will get your choice of an entree, soup or salad, and any two of our incredible signature side dishes, all for only $22.99.

FOOTBALL
That party will keep going until the band stops playing at 1 am. Make sure that you go straight home to get plenty of rest so that you can come back in for the Rose Bowl game at 4 pm on Friday, January 1! The Boot will be packed full of Hawkeye fans, cheering on our boys as they face the Stanford Cardinals. The sooner you reserve your table, the better your seat.

This will be the Hawkeyes 6th Rose Bowl appearance, having played in 1957,1959, 1982, 1986, and 1991. In the very first Rose Bowl in 1902, the University of Michigan beat the Stanford Cardinals. Here's hoping they take a loss in the 2016 Rose Bowl too!

During the game we will be offering $5 appetizer specials and $3 tall boys. Delicious food, ice cold beer, and an amazing game. What a way to start a new year!

A Few Iowa Hawkeyes Football Facts

If you live in Iowa, you can't help but be a fan of the good old Black & Gold! The Iowa Hawkeyes are a state treasure, bringing excitement to their fans every week during football season. The best place to watch the game in Des Moines is right here at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse. The whole place is full of fans cheering together for the best team in college football.

Die hard Hawkeyes fans most likely already know everything written below, but if you only recently fell in love with this incredible team, you need to read on. These basic facts and bit of history are necessary information for any discussion involving Iowa football. Once you get these basic facts into your brain, then you can work on learning the stats!

The Beginning

Even though football was played in various forms before this, 1889 was the year that the University of Iowa officially became a varsity football team. Their first undefeated season happened the following year in 1899. This impressive year earned an invitation to join the Western Conference, which is currently know as the Big Ten. Another undefeated season followed in 1900. This incredible Iowa football team came right out of the gate at the top of their game.

The Stadium

The Hawkeyes "Iowa Stadium" opened in 1929.  Before that, all of the games had been played at Iowa Field.  This stadium was renamed in 1972 to what we currently know it as, "Kinnick Stadium." 

The new name honors the only Heisman trophy winner in the school's history, Nile Kinnick.  He won that distinguished award in 1939.  While he is the only Hawkeye to claim that honor, the team can boast four Heisman trophy runner-ups.    

The Mascot

Every Iowa Hawkeyes fan recognizes our beloved mascot, Herky the Hawkeye, but are you aware that he is named after a Greek God?  Herky is actually short for Hercules.  He was first drawn as a cartoon in 1948, and his first appearance at a sporting event came eleven years later in 1959. 

"Hawkeye" is a term from the book "The Last of the Mohicans."  Someone used it in its plural form to describe the people of Iowa, and the University of Iowa decided to use the name for their athletic teams.

The Fight Songs

There are certain songs that you will hear at every Iowa Hawkeyes game. The official fight song is the "Iowa Fight Song." "On Iowa" is the school song, and lastly "Roll Away Iowa" is their third fight song. The best one by far to hear at a game, though, is the "Im Himmel gibt's kein Bier" Polka, because this is the song played after every Hawkeye victory. The translation of that title is actually, "In Heaven There Is No Beer." (If that's the case, it's a good thing we keep lots of it hand hand here at Wobbly Boots!)

The 2015-16 Season

Iowa's head football coach, Kirk Firentz, is currently coaching his 17th Hawkeye season. He sure seems to be doing something right, because they are on quite a winning streak! So far this year, our amazing team is undefeated! Wobbly Boots Roadhouse is the best place in Iowa (aside from Kinnick Stadium, of course) to cheer on the Hawkeyes and watch them keep winning all season long.
