Was cruising through the area and asked some locals where to eat and they highly recommend this place. The BBQ was great from the first bite to the last. I went with the brisket, but looking forward to getting back and diving into a plate of spare ribs. I will be back soon. more
If you love smokey meat, barbecue, and a selection of pepper sauces with great sides then come here and enjoy. Brisket, chicken, and pork all were delish. Enjoyed the cornbread, red beans, and cowboy beans too. All items are pretty reasonably priced. This used to be Bistro 43 and the ambiance is very nice. Biggest shortfall is service, a little... more
Have never had a less-than-ideal experience at this great local spot. The 24-hour beef brisket is a favorite and by far the best in town. The Big Chop is exactly what it sounds like, and even the hungriest diner will have to take half of this incredibly tender/juicy masterpiece home. Opt for an earlier dinner or you may miss out... more
The the best BBQ brisket ever. The food, service and atmosphere were just great. If your in Des Moines this is the place to eat. more

Growing up in the Southwest, I have had my share of brisket, BBQ and Cajun. I've also enjoyed cuisine from at least half the countries in Western Europe, Mexico... more
I actually came across this place in an advertisement in one of those hotel city guide books. The restaurant seems to be in an older residential neighborhood. I arrived on a Tuesday soon after the restaurant opened for dinner. The menu seems to focus on meat dishes with a Cajun, Creole, or Carribean twist. I ordered the Pick 3 BBQ... more
This is a great place with a unique menu. It's the perfect antidote to the chain restaurant scene. Prices are reasonable and the food is consistently good. It's a little bit off the beaten path - not near the interstates or restaurant clusters - but it's worth seeking out. This is the place that I take "food snob" friends who... more
