KC BBQ Des Moines IA

KC BBQ Des Moines IAThe nicest BBQ run buy all Latinos I have been to. Ribs looked Great full rack $16.00. They have a chopped Tip sandwich I tasted some of the tips was great. The special of the day was the Fat Boy Tenderloin. I couldn't pass it up. Fresh tenderloin Pounded flat and round, Lightly breaded like all good tenderloins the kicker is, it has lettuce, tomato, cheese and a big Slice of Ham, on a bun. Served with Fries and drink this was only $4.99. When I go back I will get a southern style sandwich with the coleslaw piled on BBQ Pork or Beef. Great place on 14th a few blocks from the Capital of IA

Battles Bar-B-Q Ames IA

The original owner George Battle passed away about 3 years ago. The new owners are trying to keep with his tradition I hear they are but I have nothing to compare to. Tried the 2 meats Dinner, Pork Ribs and Rib tips with 2 sides Beans and Potato salad. The ribs were smoked to perfection. The tips had a GREAT crust. The beans had some brisket in them and tasted like they had some of there signature sauce in them the potato salad (for my taste) could of used some mustered. All in all a great place in Ames IA. Also another location in Nevada IA. Open Mon-Sun 11am-9pm Other Items they have are Beef Pork Ham Turkey Chopped beef also sold by the pound. Didn't try the Homemade lemonade but others in the restaurant highly recommended
