 Joe’s is one of those destination places for a lot of folks. It has a reputation for good pecan-smoked BBQ with a clean and friendly atmosphere. The building itself has been there since 1929. They have done a great job in the dining room with lots of knickknacks including a beautifully restored John Deere tractor.

What should I eat at Joe’s Real BBQ?

Some great meat choices include brisket, pulled pork, hot links, pork ribs, and bone-in chicken. The plates are served up by weight; one can decide on a 3/4-lb mixed sampler, a 1/2-lb meat plate, or sandwiches of either 1/3-lb or 1/4-lb.

Side items are included with your order: choose from slaw, potato salad, corn on the cob, cheesy potatoes, BBQ pit beans, or mac and cheese. Other noteworthy items are their gigantic baked potatoes, which you can order stuffed with your choice of meat; and for dessert, among several choices there is the root beer cake… wish I had room to try that!

The ribs were finger licking good, and pulled away from the bone with just the slightest tug. The brisket had a nice smoke ring and was moist and flavorful. It did not need the sauce!   Next time order without the sauce. Additional sauces are available.  The hottest sauce has the spice of habaneros. Also available at the condiment station are pickles, sweet peppers, diced red onions and jalapenos.

Joe’s Real BBQ is quick, consistent and very good BB Q. Is it the best in town? Probably not. But it is right up on the list to be sure, winning several awards over the years. *original post Dean Olsen*
