Expensive. Menu is not clear. Ordered pulled pork and it just was not seasoned all that much. Jalepeno corn was fantastic. Son ordered half rack of ribs. They were good, but again nothing to wrote home about. Baked beans were also really good. For the price I would expect more.

Very limited menu. Food was very subpar. My kids wouldn’t even eat the Mac n cheese. Person at register was not nice. Advertised easy eddy beer in window but only had coors/bud light. First and last time here. This place does not belong in the district, waste of prime location.

Just had Big Al’s food for the first time tonight! It was excellent. I’d say the best barbecue in ankeny.

Fantastic food as always and a fraction of the distance! The smell and service is wonderful. It’s a little smaller atmosphere than I’m accustomed to, but the smell permeating inside and out is more than enough to draw in customers. Wonderful service and kitchen staff

Ordered burnt ends which were delicious. Got to meet Big Al himself who was kind enough to check in on how we were enjoying our food. Very friendly guy. Inside was a little loud for my liking but didn’t detract from the great food and service.

Best ribs I’ve had in Iowa. Ordered a full slab plus onion rings and it fed two of us with leftovers. Ribs were Smokey and fell off the bones. Very casual cafe style seating and atmosphere.

The pulled pork sandwich that I ordered was terrible. The meat was cold and soggy with zero flavor. Got a new one that tasted like it was thrown in the microwave. I think they expect you to cover it in sauce to forget how bland it is. Only 4 people in the place at 5pm on a Saturday. Other people must have gotten the memo on the poor excuse for bbq. First time here, last time here.

Visited their food truck in Perry. Ribs, coleslaw, and potato salad were awesome! Some barbecue bothers my stomach, but all good. Very tasty, and I will visit their truck again in Perry! Thank you Al and staff.

Excellent food. All in our party agreed. Seating was uncomfortable and the place echoed. But service was fast. Great tenderloin! Were out of baby back ribs tho☹️
