We were heading out for a date night drive, figuring out dinner on the way. Central Iowa houses so…read moremany amazing smalltown options and we love hopping in the car and just going somewhere - no plan, no destination. With both of us being absolute control freaks, this is quite possibly the only hobby or activity, in our lives, of which we can have no plan and be OK with it. We decided to drive south, thinking maybe Winterset, IA. We made it as far as Van Meter from WDM/Booneville (so like 8 miles?) and decided to try out 5th Quarter Bar & Grill. It didn't disappoint - less than 10min down the road and we're just now finding this place. We will be back! Wings: plain with sides of Bourbon, Asian Chili, Garlic and Ranch. Even without sauce the wings were good, and we liked that they weren't heavily battered. Rueben was awesome - in-house sliced pastrami yielded thicker slices (not shaved like so many) and it was so good. Got an extra side of sauerkraut and yummmm! But the onion rings drove this one home - definitely made in-house and so good. And they have the good ranch. This is important! Grilled Tenderloin was good - could've used a little more seasoning but it's grilled pork so ‍ altogether in the sandwich it was still very good. Coated fries were piping hot, and yes - it came with more "good ranch". They no longer do Breakfast - sadly - wish we could've tried it but our fantastic server Tegan said it never took flight, so they stopped doing it. Attentive service. All food + 3 Mic Ultras was $67. We will be back! -- at 5th Quarter Bar & Grill.

I really liked this restaurant. We came here for lunch and were seated right away. Their menu…read morefeatures barbecue items. They have all of your favorites like brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and burnt ends. They also have breakfast items, desserts, ice cream, burgers, pizza, pastries, a cereal bar, and salads. There is a private parking lot for you to park. They have a huge dining area with private rooms for large parties and special events. The staff there was very friendly. This restaurant is special because it is a place where individuals with special needs learn real-world job skills. I saw them training while I was there and it was awesome. Our server was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the 2-meat platter with pork belly burnt ends, pork belly bacon, potato salad, and baked beans. Be sure to check out their daily specials. They also host brunch. My food was ready in about 5 minutes, and it was fresh and hot. It tasted really good. The burnt ends were my favorite, but it all tasted good, though. I was glad that I made it here and had lunch. I not only liked the food and service but also their mission. This is a very special restaurant, and I highly recommend checking it out.

Triple B's opened at a former Jethro's location in Johnston right along 86th St. Their open house…read morewas in November of 2025, but I think they may have opened in limited capacity before that. Last week we had a chance to stop in. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the empowerment through employment concept here! Triple B's partners with a few of the different school districts as well as Goodwill and Best Buddies to employ around 30 people with special needs. It not only gives teens and young adults with special needs a chance to enter into, and participate, in it's workforce... The restaurant caters to families with special needs children as a safe space where they aren't looked at differently. It's their world...we're just sharing their table for a few minutes. Parking is plentiful and we had no issues. We were greeted shortly after we walked in and seated towards the East end of the restaurant. Denny was up front along with Brenden. Seating is a mix of high top and low top tables and chairs along with a few bench, table, and chair combos along the walls. The daily hours vary some so check out their online presence's posted hours to make sure they are open when planning your visit. The menu is extensive! Offering everything from breakfast and BBQ, to sandwiches, pizzas and baked goods, and even ice cream deserts. There is a large menu board above the front counter. For dine-in ordering and payment is done via standard table service with your server. They also offer take-out ordering online through their site via skytab. Pay attention to their weekly/daily specials! We ordered the following: 2x Fountain drinks (Pepsi products) 1x 1/4 lb of beef burnt ends 1x 2 meat platter with pork ribs, pork burnt ends, cucumbers and onions, and mac n cheese. This was served with a small slice of cornbread 1x complimentary cinnamon roll Be aware the yellow and red squeeze bottles on the table are not ketchup and mustard. They're their two house BBQ sauces. One traditional (yellow) and one a little more spicy (red). I really liked both my sides! They were fantastic. The mac and cheese was hot and gooey. The cucumbers and onions were crisp and fresh. The meats all had good flavor. But maybe they were having a little bit of an off day...? The burnt ends dry were a drier than I prefer. The same with the cornbread and cinnamon roll. The ribs were better but still a little dry. Don't get me wrong... I cleaned my plate! I just used a little more BBQ sauce than I normally do. It's a personal preference and it really just might have been the day... That happens with BBQ. I would strongly encourage you to try it for yourself, but I want to be transparent in my experience. Our service was wonderful. The woman who seated and served us did a stellar job (Brenden's mom I think). One of the gentlemen working tables stopped by our table for a visit. Great kid with an even greater smile! Even with a bump or two. I'm already planning my next trip back to Triple B's to try their breakfast and their brisket cheesesteak... The cheesesteak is advertised as coming on a Amorosa roll. While smoked brisket is a spin to the classic... If you've ever been near Philadelphia you know Amorosa rolls are quintessential when it comes to cheesesteaks! Not something we see here in the Midwest on the reg. Be aware of their mission. Enjoy the food. Be patient, respectful, and most of all... Be kind! https://www.bubbyb.com/ https://www.facebook.com/TripleB.BubbyB/

Located in the heart of downtown Des Moines, and parking was an issue as they do not have a private lot. Welcomed kindly.

Liked how spaced out the booths and tables are from each other, noise was acceptable as a result. Credit Card surcharge (2.75%) was applied. Enjoyed my Southwest Bowl, a large gathering of tasty vegetables, and my added seared salmon was good and plentiful. Liked my ample-sized Side Caesar.
