This past weekend Fort Madison had a little festival going on at Central Park, I noticed a BBQ food truck and knew my boyfriend and I had to try this. Don’t think twice. Go! This was hands down the best place for a brisket and I’m not a big fan of BBQ items! Their bake beans were amazing along with the broccoli pasta salad! I was blown away by the pasta salad on how good it was along with the garlic mash potatoes I loved how there were pieces of potato skins in it. Now let’s get to the main dish, the brisket was so tender it melt in my mouth and the sauce along with it went great with it! I bet their restaurant in Montrose is great but their food truck was also amazing.

Loved everything about this place. The owners were very personable and friendly and went over and above. The meats and sides were A+. The mashed potatoes were some of the best I’ve ever eaten. We highly recommend this place!!

Food was good but bartender sucked. Bartender ignored me for 20 minutes and served everyone who came up to the bar after me. All I needed was the beer I already paid for at the food register, and she gave me attitude when she finally served me. Food was completely cold by the time we finally got to sit down and eat. Ribs, brisket, and burnt ends were good. The rest of the staff serving food were good.

Amazing food. You walk in to a walk up ordering area. Pick your meats and sides. Pay at the end, then find your seat. Beautiful scenic seating area outside. This can be hard to find so use your directions. Worth the travel

So it’s refreshing when you get to see people who love what they do. Fat Jimmy’s BBQ is one of the best places to see this. The food is spectacular, the service is fast and friendly. You order straight from the line. They have all of your standard BBQ fare (it’s simple done right) the sides are excellent- we had the Meat Trio ( pulled pork, brisket, and shredded chicken)and the Burnt Ends. The meat is kept very simple but smoked perfectly. You have the option of four sauces, my favorite is the Blues Hog. The Garlic Mashed red potatoes are some best ever. We had the Snickers Apple salad and mashed sweet potatoes are good. We saved room for dessert which was the Fire side Vanilla Cupcake- made that day. The buttercream frosting was very scrumptious. As for the vibe and ambiance of the place both inside and out is simple elligance. We got a real kick of the pin-up girls in the men’s room. You can see the smokehouse where they smoke the meats for up to twelve hours. This is worth the time and money. Fat Jimmy and Skinny Kimmy got it right. We’ll definitely be back.

The food was amazing! The prime rib is next level good! This is also a really good place to go if you’re gluten free because all their meats and most of the sides are gluten free. We live 1-1/2 hours away and we’ll definitely be back. Was worth the drive
