#1 - It Tastes Great!
In our humble opinion, that should be enough reason to choose BBQ for your next meal! Not all BBQ is equal though, so you may need to tell your friends just why Wobbly Boots BBQ is worth the trip. First of all, we slow-smoke our meats over hickory for the intense, rich, full-bodied flavor that particular wood produces. After years of practice and perfection, our cooks know exactly how long to leave each meat in the smoker to make sure it reaches its most mouthwatering potential.
Add to that deliciousness our house recipe BBQ sauce and special dry rubs, and you've got a taste that will leave you wanting to come back again and again. Both the cooking process and the sauce recipe make up our hybrid-style of BBQ which was inspired by the 4 BBQ meccas of the U.S.A.: Kansas City, St. Louis, Memphis, and Texas. We learned from the greats, but created a flavor that you will only find here at the Boot!
#2 - Lots of Dishes to Try
When some people hear BBQ, they sometimes limit their idea of dishes to chicken, burgers, and steak, like they might grill at home. On the contrary, our menu has a wide variety of different meats that we hickory-smoke, which include but are not limited to:
- Hand-Pulled Pork
- Sliced Turkey Breast
- Sweet Smoked Italian Sausage
- Applewood Smoked Ham
- Tender Smoked Beef Brisket
- Brisket Burnt Ends
- Baby Back Ribs
- Chicken
- Wobbly Wings
You don't just have to order those meats piled on a plate together or stacked high on a bun. One glance through our extensive menu shows you that many of our dishes are created using these savory smoked meats as one of many ingredients to create unique and delicious dishes. You'll have to come back many, many times to try all of them!
#3 - BBQ Pairs Well With Beer and Sports
Sports fans will be thrilled to find out that they can eat BBQ while enjoying all of their favorite sports on our 17 TVs which are placed strategically throughout the restaurant. It doesn't matter whether you pull up a seat at the bar or a table in the dining room, you won't miss any of the action.
An ice-cold beer is an excellent beverage to wash down a plate full of hickory-smoked BBQ. Here at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse, we not only have a wide selection of bottled beers, but 18 incredible beers on tap as well. We always have a wonderful selection of local Iowa brews mixed in there too, because after all, Iowans know how to brew an amazing beer! If you didn't know that already, come in soon and let us pour one for you.
#4 - Food All Ages Love
If it's the family that you're trying to convince rather than a group of friends, our family-friendly atmosphere and down-home hospitality will make everyone feel right at home when they walk through the doors. Young diners will be pleased with choices on our kids' menu, which include favorites like Chicken Strips, Mini Corn Dogs, Cheeseburger, Grilled Cheese, and Mac & Cheese. There's even a kid's version of our Pork Sliders if they're ready to start moving toward becoming a smoked meat lover.
Let them use our tasty BBQ sauce for dipping and they'll be hooked! The very best part is that eating BBQ encourages you to get a little messy, which kids absolutely love. As long as you take care of cleaning up yourselves when you're done (we have plenty of wet naps for you) we're happy to clean up all of the dishes.
#5 - The Boot is More Than BBQ
There's always that one person in every group that won't agree with you. (Unless of course, they've been to the Boot before, which means they already realize how great it is here!) For that one friend that refuses to eat BBQ tonight, let them know that our Des Moines BBQ restaurant has all kinds of items on the menu that are not BBQ related! For example, we have Spinach Artichoke Dip and Crab Stuffed Mushrooms for starters, plus savory salads, fantastic flatbreads, Black Angus Burgers, and sandwiches like the Catfish BLT and our Famous Tenderloin. (An Iowa restaurant staple!)
Well, while writing this we've certainly convinced ourselves that dinner at our family-friendly restaurant in Des Moines sounds like a perfect idea tonight, and we're willing to bet you think so too! Now all you have to do is share this wisdom with all of your friends and you'll be dining at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in no time.
Award-winning BBQ right here in Des Moines!
