I enjoyed the ribs he let me try as well as the pulled pork. I can be a brisket snob but I enjoyed this one. I thought their sauces were good as well. The servers were friendly plus always moving about and stopping at tables talking to people. I thought the restaurant was clean, not overly loud and seemed spread out enough. I am glad they opened here and hope to try them again!

I love having another great restaurant on the Southside!…read more I'm not a huge BBQ person, and in fact, I usually hate ribs. This place changed my mind! The burnt ends, ribs, and jalapeno sausage are great. I don't know what it is about the macaroni and cheese, but it's my favorite in Des Moines. The corn muffins are delicious! It's hard (but possible) to mess up fries; theirs come out hot and crispy. I'm not sure what others are talking about with bad service, both times I've gone, I have had good service and felt welcomed. The place was clean.

As the potato is very large, the cheese sauce runs off into the container. As a result, my only suggestion is to ask for a side of cheese sauce. I went to the location in the skywalk before 11:30am to beat the crowd. I'm so glad we did because the ribs are only available on Wednesdays and it's normally a crowd. The location in the skywalk is nice but there is not a lot of space inside to sit and eat. I will definitely have it again soon.

We tried every side today because my in laws were visiting who havent had much Korean food and were not sure what they would like. And a little of each sauce. The black garlic was my fav but its very thick so not a great texture for everyone; not overwhelmingly garlic. The lava egg was delicious, very spicy especially with the little red pepper slices. I eat a lot of spicy food and it still gave me hiccups, but not so spicy I was sweating or tearing up. A healthy pang of spice but not a complex flavor and it disappears pretty quick from the mouth. The double dunk everyone liked very good texture good mix of sweet and spicy. The sweet butter one we got the kids was good not spicy at all but extra sticky. I liked it but preferred the double dunk. The asian bbq I really disliked but everyone else liked it; it was very strong saltiness and sweet. MiL ordered the pork ribs which were fine, a little tough but good flavor. The kids wanted fries so we added some on but they tasted a little stale and the spice mix on them wasnt popular they were barely eaten. The cucumber kimchi is just the cabbage with cucumber added! We got both and I was like oop. It was a little dry and not very strong to me. The sweet potato was disgusting nobody liked it. VERY strong salty muso flavor overpowering, very soft mushy sweet potato. We threw it out. The egg salad the kids loved and it was a good flavor, pretty crowded pleasing. LOVED the daikon perfect flavor texture etc. A nice snap just a bit sour. The mac was popular with the kids, I did not like the extra thick cheesy sauce personally. LOVED the spinach side dish what a surprise! Very refreshing and well cooked, a bit of sourness but not too much.

I ordered their Italian Beef. They asked me all the right questions. What kind of giardiniera did I want, mild or spicy? Wet or dry? I went with mild and wet. This was the best beef I have had outside of Chicago ... no contest. The gravy is wonderful. The beef is cooked perfectly, and has obviously been living in that gravy all day. The giardiniera added that nice bit of texture. I may try a bit of the spicy next time. The bun it was served on kept it's structural integrity even after being soaked in the gravy. The fries have that chewiness that good fries should have. I forgot to ask if they blanched them first, but it seems to me that is likely. If you want a great Chicago style Italian Beef, and I am not talking that chain restaurant style, a beef that you expect to get in a little walkup place actually in Chicago, this is the place to go. It was marvelous. I am going to go with my wife's comments on her meal. I will say that I had a taste of the Oxtail and it was luscious! ------------------ The oxtail. in one word: decadent. If you're from the south, you understand that you have to start with good bones. Oh they did. And then they seasoned things just enough to let the bones SING. And they do. A chorus of umami, tendernism, and soul warming goodness. This was a religious experience. A joy for all the senses. The sweet potatoes were lovely. Not too sweet, spiced just right. The Mac and cheese was delicious. And the service was impeccable. You can tell the owner loves people. ------------------ Both of us loved this place. It's wonderful

The fries were also seasoned well. They were incredibly filling and plentiful. The service is great.
