Wobbly Boots BBQ - Clive, Iowa

Our hotel during the four day baseball tournament was located within walking distance of a place we were anxious to try…

Wobbly Boots BBQ

We ate outside on their patio…

And I was happy when I noticed the NO SMOKING ON PATIO sign!

It was a beautiful evening, and we enjoyed sitting outside together…without the smell of smoke to ruin our meal…

Fred and I split a Smoked Turkey Open Face Sandwich with Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans…and we got an extra “side” of potatoes to round out our meal. (It was plenty of food to share…)

And Big Bro is a “Mac & Cheese” kid. (He finished every bite.) Our son Aaron said his Smoked Meatloaf was another great choice.

The inside of the restaurant is filled with lots of quirky signs and “country” decor…

It was a great place for an early dinner…

And later that week Fred and I headed back by ourselves for some “bar food” and adult beverages!
Our bartender, David, was friendly and was quick to share information about the restaurant, and he suggested we try their famous onion rings.

When our HALF ORDER arrived, I thought they gave us donuts instead!

They were HUGE.
I am not a great fan of thick onion rings. And these were good…but not great. The onions were still slightly crunchy and the batter was quite thick. But not bad.

And. like most places these days, Craft Beers were on tap. But I was happy to see good old Miller Lite as well…

Our Side Salads were OK too…I don’t like to see crackers and dressings sitting on top of the greens since you have no idea who handled the pre-packaged items-or what they were sitting on in the kitchen. And the lettuce was slightly wilted.

Again…not great…but OK for bar food.

Ahhh…but then came the SMOKED WINGS…

Ta DAH!!! DELISH!!!

They were smokey and cooked perfectly. And because of the delicious dry rub flavoring there was no reason to add sauce!

So I guess the moral of the story is…
When you go to a BBQ place…ORDER BBQ!!!
We were NOT disappointed in any of the smokey entrees!
