"We had a family dinner with 8. Ordered from apps to ribs, meatloaf, burnt ends, and sandwiches. Service was very good. We rated Wobbly over Jethros . The menu was diverse with something for everyone."
-samjwells, TripAdvisor review

"We were a big group in town with our kids for a baseball tournament. Had reservations for 6:30 p.m. We were also a loud group and the staff put up with us and the cheers from the kids while they watched the Cubs game  Our waitress was great! She took good care of us and seemed unfazed with all of the confusion since the kids all sat together, then moms on one end of our tables and dads on the other end. The food was awesome as well. We would definitely eat here again. Thanks!"
-Mike Vicki Kuper, Facebook review

"The "burnt ends" were as good as in Texas. The price was right. The serving could have fed two adults."

-Lo S, TripAdvisor review

"Fantastic!!! Quick, good service, nice portions and HOT food! Huge variety and tasted great. No need for extra sauce, or sauce at all. Priced reasonably also. We will be back"
-Shelana L, Yelp review

"Great food. The Crab Rangoon Flatbread is awesome. Also their caramel hot cider alcoholic drink is awesome. Definitely be back there again"
-Katie R. Fenton, Zomato review

"Amazing food!! BBQ is very good and atmosphere is even better!"
-Heidi Fisher Sickerson, Facebook review

"We really enjoyed this place!! We had a great server Karra (probably spelled wrong) and to boot (no pun intended) the food was incredible!! There were 5 of us and we were shocked at how quickly our food arrived and every one of us completely cleaned our plates!!! Wish we had been in town more than one night to eat there again!!!"
-Rhonda Kimerling, Facebook review

"The food was all delicious. The burnt ends sandwich was delicious- one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The meat is so tender. Fries and beans were good too."
-Kimberly M, TripAdvisor review

"I'm not good at trying new places so I just decided to go for it. I'm also a little bit picky. My burger was cooked to request and I was only able to eat half so it might be nice to share. The reason you would want to share is so you can eat all the onion rings. Big and crispy and perfect. I left lots of napkins on the table, my fingers were finger licking good. All condiments and extra napkins are already on the table and wait staff was timely and not in my face.Since it was my first time I wasn't prepared for the size of the bar. It's half of the restaurant with TV screens everywhere. It would be a great place to watch a game and have a bite to eat."
-Elyse S, Yelp review

"First time for us. Quality food and service. We arrived at 6:15 pm on a Saturday night and thought for sure we would have to wait to be seated, no waiting got right in. Friendly greeting at the door and manager came around to check on us. Delicious smoked meat. Prime rib melts in your mouth. My husband had the 3 meat meal and they really pile on the meat. It made enough for two meals. Casual dining with great food and service. Definitely will be back again."
-Nancy Hildreth Townsend, Facebook review

"Awesome place, people and one heck of a menu!!!! Had a blast."

These Customer Reviews Talk About the Best BBQ in Des Moines!

We can tell you that we're the best BBQ restaurant in Des Moines 'til we're blue in the face, but you'll always assume that we're a little biased. That's why we rely on customer reviews to get the word out about why you really should give us a try. It is greatly appreciated by us anytime a customer takes the time to tell us about their experience at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Clive, and we hope their words mean something to you too. 

"I tried the brisket chili and stuffed mushrooms; both were incredible. While I was there, I observed the kitchen manager bring out a sample of mac and cheese to the manager. The two agreed that the side dish was not good enough, and opted to discard the entire batch and start fresh. They refused to serve an item that was inconsistent with its typical quality. This is what separates the great businesses from the good ones. There was a big party room separate from the main dining area, and I was told it can be reserved with a private buffet line for special events. This would be a great place for a corporate event or wedding rehearsal dinner. Looking forward to going back."
~James D, Yelp review

"We reserved the party room and had about 30 people for a birthday. Service was phenomenal! Food was good! Very cool atmosphere and decor!"
~Keisha Thompson, Facebook review
"This is a family favorite of ours! They have great food, drinks, and a fun setting. The pickles are amazing, both fried and regular. The smoked meats are always a favorite of ours, but we have never had anything we didn't like! Good Burgers, Salads, Soups, really everything!"

~Maria S., TripAdvisor review

"On short notice, Wobbly Boots put together a great space for our family to gather after a funeral. We served multiple appetizers along with a buffet of meats and sides for sliders. The servers were excellent. Food was fantastic. Our favorites were the stuffed mushrooms, bacon wrapped shrimp, and fried pickles. Everyone LOVED the macaroni and cheese too. The private dining space is perfect for a large family gathering or any other group!!"
~Mel I., Yelp review

"Eric and I shared a full rack of baby back ribs with sides. Meat falling off the bone, BBQ sauce had the right amount of kick. Sides were great also, especially the cheezy corn with ham. Most certainly will go there again, heard their Tenderloin sandwiches are to die for, can't wait "
~Joann Okuzono-Perkins, Facebook review 

"Great place! Food was excellent & our waiter was the best. Sorry I didn't get his name. Will definitely go back when in DM"
~Ruth Ritchey, Facebook review

"Had a nice, unplanned lunch. We ordered three meals: pulled pork sandwiches, turkey wrap, mac and cheese, fries. The food was fresh and warm. The bbq sauce was spicey and tasty. Plenty of leftovers. Great service. Tidy and clean. Nice atmosphere to chat or watch a game. The bar looked well stocked and staff was friendly. Try it!"
~asilemeter, TripAdvisor review

"Awesome food! A great atmosphere and a very attentive staff."
~Adam R Ran Buskirk, Facebook review

"We have been there twice in the last two weeks. The first time was for lunch, and seeing that our favorite entertainer from the Lake of the Ozarks, was going to be there the next week, we decided to go back. The staff was very accommodating and made reservations for us up front, to be close to Dale Blue. The food was very good and the portions very generous. The tenderloin was huge and delicious, the smoked meatloaf was very good, and the brisket sandwich was so lean and tender. We had a very fun evening and will be back. We live 90 miles from D.M."
~missswissIowa, TripAdvisor review

"Great food, great service! It's always about customer satisfaction!"
~Justin Whitcomb, Facebook review

"Work group went for lunch. Quick service and good food. Had burnt ends sandwich and it was great. Beans are also good with a slight tanginess. Will definitely be back."

Who Loves Wobbly Boots BBQ? These People Definitely Do!

We can tell people how we have the best BBQ in Des Moines, but you'll just assume we're biased because we're the ones that make it. When you hear all about us from someone that has no affiliation with the restaurant other than being an impartial customer, then it truly means something. Well, today we've gathered some of the reviews that have been left for our family restaurant in Des Moines on various websites online. Check out what these people had to say about their Wobbly Boots Roadhouse experience!

"I recently rented their party room for my wife's birthday. We had about 50 people and it worked out great! They let us decorate and arrange the room however we needed. The staff (Brian and Abby) were outstanding!! It was whatever we needed, whenever we needed it. You can run your own video on one of their big screens and watch whichever games you want. Oh, and the food, everyone raved about it. I can't wait until the next celebration because I am doing it at Wobbly Boots!"
~Marty Trepp, Facebook review

"Best BBQ in Clive Iowa. Fast service excellent food and a full menu with lots of tasty choices. Tip- order the half plate of onion rings..they are huge."
~Vic J, Yelp review

"Good BBQ, great beer and the bartender was awesome. Really cool guy and really helpful. Had a great time with the family dining at this place."
~Paul Castillo, Google review

"When in Des Moines we typically stay at a hotel near Wobbly Boots. We've seen the restaurant many times but finally had the chance to try it. We were not disappointed and will definitely make a stop here again. With 5 of us eating, not one was disappointed. Everything had great flavor. We had a burger, burnt ends, chicken strips, open faced beef with gravy and a french dip. The cheesy corn was yummy. We'll be back!"
~Smorcs, TripAdvisor review

"My burger was delicious, big and juicy and they are really creative with the kids' meals."
~Jennifer Rasmussen, Facebook review

"In town for one night and staying across the street at the Sheraton. Was looking for a good salad and popped in. I decided on the grilled chicken salad. I was amazed when it arrived. The portion was huge. Also, the bartender was extremely nice and attentive. He offered refills and checked on me two or three times. Very good customer service, which was much appreciated."
~Paul L, Yelp review

"Good clean atmosphere. GREAT FOOD, polite staff...only down side is I could not go again before I had to leave."
~Chris Keenan, Google review

"Great service. Awesome food. Nice comfy atmosphere. Plenty of TVs to watch the game. I give it 5 stars. Highly recommend this BBQ joint!"
~Renee Rieniets Hynes, Facebook review

"Great atmosphere for a BBQ/ American food restaurant. Good selection of local beers. BBQ brisket is tender and flavorful. The BBQ beans are the BEST in Des Moines! Will go back again!!"
~Patrick A, Yelp review

"As a Brit abroad, this was my first experience of a BBQ restaurant. The greeting was friendly, the service excellent and the food fantastic- there were three of us eating and we all thoroughly enjoyed our menu choices. To me, burnt ends sounded like an unpleasant medical emergency - the reality was delicious pieces of BBQ beef. I'm really looking forward to my next visit."
~David H, TripAdvisor review

"Great food and a relaxed atmosphere, even with an Iowa football game on. Very pleasant wait staff who were always attentive. For a BBQ food place it was not drowned in sauce. You still had the full flavor of the smoked meat. Absolutely loved it."
~Don Poush, Facebook review

"Had the Ribbies and Wings appetizer and a salad. Huge portions! Ribs were good but the wings were awesome! Probably the best BBQ wings I've ever had - Big, meaty and full of flavor."

"This is a well run sports bar / restaurant with friendly management, fun and helpful staff, lots of entertainment, strong drinks and good old down home Midwest food! We came five nights in a row last week because it was close to our motel, it was snowing like crazy and we were dead tired. But you know what? It was the highlight of our trip! Just a great place!"
SCinRB, Redondo Beach, CA, TripAdvisor review


"Wobbly Boots is good eating! I had a half order of onion rings as an appetizer...huge, great batter, and very delicious! I had the catfish dinner with mac and cheese and green beans for dinner. The catfish was fried and seasoned very well, and the mac and cheese was the bomb! I will definitely return to try the BBQ. The service was great and the staff was friendly."
Maria J, Johnston, IA, Yelp review


"Great food and excellent service last Friday night I appreciated the friendly service and overall atmosphere. The prime rib was a pleasant surprise along with great sides Left the place full and will definitely return to try other menu options."
Ryan Roy, Des Moine, IA, Facebook review

"I love the wait staff and the food at Wobbly Boots. Jenna is my main gal. She takes good care of me. Brian, the manager is obviously a good leader of this group of competent people. I go there as often as I can. I have held two group events there. One was for around 40 and they pulled it off without a hitch. I highly recommend them."
J.R., Polk City, IA, Yelp review


"My wife and I went here with my brother and his wife on a Thursday evening. We had a marvelous time! Atmosphere was Down Home Western with a touch of Southern. The decor is very nice here and the acoustics make for an intimate kind of visit in that its not too noisy, you can carry on a conversation and the place still had a lively feel. The food was excellent! We had the Smoked Meat Trio, and it was prepared well. It was very tasty and they managed to maintain the moisture while sealing in the flavor! The place was very clean and the wait staff is top shelf! We would definitely go again and the only thing keeping this establishment from getting a 5 from me is the fact that they do have wine but no selection. My choices were Cabernet, Merlot, and white! Hahaha! But in all it was a very enjoyable evening!"
LASHO211, Wildwood, GA, TripAdvisor review

"I am not going to lie to you. Whoever came up with the idea of smoked meatloaf deserves a statue somewhere in their honor. This place does it better than most! Good sized portions of great tasting meat with just the right amount of smokiness made it a perfect dinner. Good selection of local beer on tap to wash it down. Guy next to me had the burnt ends which smelled and looked very good too...he wouldn't take his eyes off them for long enough to steal one so I guess I'll have to come back another time. Sean kept my beer glass full."
Jeff C., Norman, OK, Yelp review

"We had 46 people for a rehearsal dinner and they have a private room that was perfect. The guests loved the pulled pork and beef brisket. Our server Brian did an awesome job keeping up with everything. Tom was easy to work with organizing the party and making suggestions. The prices were reasonable. If we're back in the area we would come here again."
- Brian K., Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin

"The food was great and service was solid as well. Great wings and brisket. Word to the Boot!" 

 -Jeremy B., West Des Moines, IA

"We had sides of the cheesy corn and ham - yummy beyond words, sweet potato fries that actually tasted like sweet potatoes and the coleslaw. The cole slaw is plain with just a little dressing that is nicely sweet. They don't add any frills like poppy seeds or peppers or weird things. I LOVED it. I don't want a lot of stuff in my slaw. We asked what the potato salad was like and our server brought us a small sample. It was made with red potatoes, dill, onions and of course egg. It was very good."
-K9 Trainer, West Des Moines, IA


"Best meatloaf I ever had...sorry Mom! Love the smoked flavor. Clean and comfortable. Huge room with plenty of seating at table or bar. Friendly staff." 

-Todd Wilson

"The whole family came out for dinner last night. Every aspect was fantastic. The restaurant and grounds were spotless, the patio was beautiful, the service was fast, and the food was delicious and big enough portions we almost all had enough leftovers for today's lunch. The prices are about the same as many other local restaurants that have smaller portions. The icing on the cake was the service. Our drinks were refilled quickly and the food we ordered for our 2 year old came out almost instantly, making it easier for us to all enjoy the stay. We will definitely be back AND recommend this business to anyone looking for a place to eat." 

 -Rhonda Brackett, West Des Moines, IA

-Kerry Richards

Both smelled, looked and tasted great! Will be back soon and will bring friends!" -Dominique Combs, Chandler, AZ

"OMG! This place is AWESOME! The food will blow your mind on how Great it taste. The staff was super friendly and attentive to our needs. Asked for the manager, to let him know how Wonderful our experience was, and he sat down and treated us like family for the length of our conversation. Right now this place is the best kept secret.
