Jim's Barb-IE-Q shack Wisconsin Rapids WI

Not just a shack any more. Barb and Jim Schmidt have been serving great Hickory smoked ribs for years out of a great southern yankee smoker with a shack that Jim built around it on a traveling trailer. This is truly a family run BBQ place. They have now moved into a great place on 8th street in Wisconsin Rapids. They still do wedding and events with the catering biz but are focused in on making this the "go to" place for BBQ in the Wisconsin Rapids area. I had the Rib tip dinner with 2 sides. The tips here are more like Rib nuggets they put allot of work into taking the little bones out no left over parts here. I had the beans and cheese potatoes. they use a sauce from Des moines Ia Ray and Franks the Sassy was very good. Stop in and see Barb and Jim When in WR call 715-424-0880 Don't forget to get some ice cream from the ice cream shop at the same counter

Neighborhood Chinese food with 100's of items to choose from on the menu. Way too much food and great pork fried rice. they have a menu for eating in and one for take out.

They also have a large lunch buffet.

Rouix Orleans Downtown Waterloo IA  Too Bad it Closed in 2011  try Newtons Cafe across the street get the pork tenderloin!

This great Downtown Waterloo restaurant is classy and casual fun just like Bourbon street in NOLA

A great variety of Orleans food along with some American dishes. I was served the white bass with crawfish sauce. it was a great twist. The gumbo was excellent and the side of Jumbolia was OK. service is great with a nice atmosphere. if your in Iowa and need to get a bit closer to NOLA get you fix here.
