The sandwich portions are generous and come with a small side portion and sliced pickles. The pulled pork comes without sauce and when we went, they only had spicy and blackberry sauce. As far as flavor, we agreed the pork was kinda dry but okay. I had the blackberry sauce, which I found runny and not so flavorful. My boyfriend had the spicy and said it was good, but the kick lingered in his mouth. My coleslaw was weak too. Overall, the location is perfect for this kind of meal. It's a reasonable price for what you get - sandwich, side, and drink. Probably great for local lunches, but we wouldn't go out of our way.

Chubbs BBQ is a fairly new food truck in the Marion area and overall I must say I'm impressed…read more They are quick, well priced and consistent. The meat has a great smokey flavor and is very tender. The baked beans have quickly become a favorite and the coleslaw is a close second. They offer huge sandwiches which include 6 oz. meat, one side and a drink for $7.50 or larger platters for around $11. They never keep me waiting long and they have many BBQ sauces to choose from including some interesting ones such as cherry habanero and blackberry. They are usually located around the corner of 7th Ave. and 44th St. in Marion behind Arnold's motor supply. So if you find yourself in the area around lunchtime it's definitely worth the stop!

We visited this town today and we're driving around looking for somewhere to eat for 20 minutes and we stumbled upon this place. What a hidden gem! Cool decor and lots of conversation pieces.

Will definitely be coming back, and pointing bbq lovers to this cool spot!

You can tell they're making their food from scratch and smoking their meats daily. Our food was WONDERFUL. I had brisket and their jalapeno cheddar sausage (made especially for them) and it had a great kick to it! I was so excited I forgot to even take a picture for this review. I assume this is typical but one worker walked around offering samples to try-- they will let you try something before you commit to ordering it as well if you ask! The staff was the friendliest I'd had anywhere, and they were passionate about it too! The atmosphere speaks for itself... my coworker being a veteran got his meal for less than $5! This team was happy, welcoming and beyond helpful. Restaurant was clean and well taken care of. The items were all donated. Very neat to see.

I travel to Clinton a lot for work and am always less than impressed with the food options, this place was randomly recommended and wow, it's going to be a normal spot for me. We came in around dinner without a reservation and were immediately seated, by the window at that! The view was GORGEOUS. The dining space was bright and airy, very welcoming. It feels like a family establishment. Now the service. We were joking we literally had 5 seconds between each thing, they were BOOM BOOM BOOM. Drinks, apps, meal, dessert, I swear everything was out within 5 minutes from each other. Maybe some of the best service timing I've ever seen, we were amazed. The food, wow. For the middle of Iowa? This is it. The onion rings, the fried goat cheese. I was here for it. People at the table got the crawfish? boil and they all loved it, apparently the lobster Mac is some of the best the table has ever had, and I just got a couple sides - the asparagus and regular Gouda Mac - because there was so much food. Literally everything I had was so tasty. The cheesecakes were bomb too. I will absolutely be back every time I'm in town.

Secondly, the person at the counter was warm, gracious and very, very patient as our group of 6 waffled over which tasy option to try. Thirdly, and most important - the food was amazing. I was feeling adventurous, so ordered the ribs (I was pretty hungry). Service was super fast, like less than five minutes, and what came out was six HUGE meaty ribs. I think I managed three before I called a retreat (and saved the rest - they were delicious two days later). I liked their sauce so much that I bought a bottle. I honestly don't remember the sides but there were two and they were tasty. Others in the group enjoyed their choices too - not much left in baskets 15 minutes later! We got there in the dark, so can't report much about where they are. I think they might be on a golf course, based on interior cues? There is a walk-up window and a smallish dine-in area - maybe 5 round tables. Not big on decor, but that's not what we were looking for! Will definitely be back when we're in the area again!

Cole slaw is just one of those foods that you never know if it's going to be good, lol. I did ask when I ordered it if it was mayonnaise-based or vinegar based, and he told me they use both! I had the pulled pork, and I thought it was very good and a generous portion, hubs had the brisket, which he said it was very good but a different consistency than what he is used to at a barbecue joint. I was definitely not a fan of the coleslaw as I found it a too salty for my taste so hubs had that one to himself. The baked beans were very good and I liked the addition of orange and yellow peppers. There are four different kinds of sauces to choose from, and they were tasty. $26 for the two meat to side plate, along with two iced teas. Friendly service.
