Great BBQ at a good price. It's close to Drake and our son's apartment, so we've been here a few times now. Usually noisy, busy and loud, but that's OK for a BBQ joint. Usually plenty of seating.

This place is good! Some of the best rubbed buffalo wings I've ever had. Each portion no matter what you order is big so you won't be going hungry. Me and my wife will definitely comeback. By the way the Adam emenecker challenge is nearly impossible for average fella, don't care how hungry you are.

If you want a HOT sauce that will make you scream like a little girl, try the GHOST. How brave are you?? I think their prices are on the high side, so I go on Tuesdays for their 1/2 price bone-in wing special. Then it's affordable.

Saturday night: Bad thing: Place was packed. No call ahead seating. Wait was about 20-25 minutes. Good thing: I love their bbq flavor choices. I never know which one to select, so I use several. Alternative restaurants don't have the atmosphere that we like here. Our wait staff was attentive, which is great, because I hate to have to ask... More

We have been to three of the Jethro's location and each menu is different but we have had the same very good service and food from each of the locations. A good value.

This place was BUSY on a Saturday night. They must be doing something right or else DesMoines doesn't have much for BBQ places. I had the 2 meat supper with sausage and pulled pork.. Both meats were very dry and needed a lot of sauce to get down. The sausage was tasty and large. The corn muffins were average and... More
