Editorial Datebook Review: Jethro's BBQ
Jethro's BBQ Your Drake Neighborhood Sports Bar
Jethro's BBQ in Des Moines offers a three meat diner for $12.95 that comes with pulled pork, brisket and smoked sausage. (Eric Rowley/Juice)
Jethro's is not just some joint run by a barbecue nut with a serious smoker and a good sauce recipe. These guys are professional restaurateurs as well as barbecue enthusiasts, and a commitment pervades everything they do. The sides are typical but with Jethro's twist - try the jalapeno creamed corn, sweet potato fries or the baked beans. They also offer five distinct kinds of homemade barbecue sauces.
