We had the bucket of wings, which, of course we could only make a dent in because there were so many wings so well worth the $30. The onion rings were crispy Krunchy and every sauce we got, especially the Carolina sauce was killer. I don't know who smoking their wings, but they know what they're doing. Get here enjoy the atmosphere, enjoy the music, by yourself one of their fabulous T-shirts for only 20 bucks, I mean come on who sells T-shirts for $20 anymore. That's just amazing.

Whether it's their brisket, pulled pork, Mississippi beef. (my favorite), macaroni and cheese, or even their smoked cream cheese, you have to try it for yourself. When we were there yesterday, a woman told me she drives from Ponca just for their barbecue and walked out with a whole tray full of ribs. It's that good. Make sure to watch their Facebook page for updates on when they will be open and when they are sold out for the day. They also will give you a preview of what the menu is for the day and what is upcoming. I hear the seafood that they do is amazing. I can't wait to be there for that sometime. If you're on historic fourth in downtown, Sioux City, you won't see a restaurant with this name. Look for the bar Major's and as long as they are serving, you have found your place! This place is a sports bar with plenty of TVs, beer on tap, and your basic mixed drinks. So grab some barbecue, grab a beer, and watch a game while you stuff your face!

The other is outside of Baton Rouge, a place called Couyon's. I'm adding Iowa BBQ to that list. This place was fantastic, I could have made a meal off of the Smoked Jalapeno Poppers alone. Only complaint, and I'm Southern now, I NEED some fresh sweet tea in there!!!

It felt like the kind of restaurant you'd find in a college town, and that impressed me. Personally, I think we could use more places like that around here. But the food is probably what you're more curious about, and to that end I can say I never had anything there that I didn't personally like. My favorite is the Southwestern Burger, as it has just enough of a bite without being overpowering. They also serve a delicious corn bread there that is very sweet in spite of the fact that it has some green pepper in it. The times I've been there, the service has been excellent and friendly. In fact, on one occasion some time back, I was eating there with my father and a woman at a table near us began to choke as a piece of food that got stuck in her throat. A situation I'm sure we've all seen on tv or in movies, but the reality of which is horrifying when you see someone in trouble but is trying not to cause a scene and people freeze as they don't know what they should do - all in an instant. But one of the wait staff there quickly came over and performed the Heimlich, helping the woman out. A unfortunate circumstance that no one wants to happen, but just one of those situations in life and it was cool to see someone who worked there handle the situation in such a quick and effective manner. So, kudos to the waitress who was on the ball that night. If you're looking to go out to eat some night in Northwest Iowa and are tired of the usual options in Spencer, consider going over to Crazy Bob's in Hartley. Try 'em out for yourself.
