Smokin' G's BBQ Catering — Restaurant in Marshalltown

OK. Since moving to Marshalltown in the late Summer of 2019, I have been to this dining establishment more than any other restaurant and I ....and my dining companions..... have never been disappointed. The decor is the common western and cowboy motif seen in many BBQ joints. But the food is uncommonly excellent. Locally owned, not some BBQ chain! Food choices include smoked and BBQ items. My favorite is the smoked pork chop. Incredibly delicious. The smoked prime rib available Friday and Saturday nights is also excellent, some of the best primer rib I have ever had. I have also sampled the ribs, beef brisket, and chicken... and all are fantastic. An unbelievable choice of sides. Don't get too many or you will be stuffed. Service is very friendly and accomodating. There is a small full service bar with beer on tap, wine, and as well as the hard stuff. The crowd is diverse and the place was crowded on several Fridays and Saturday evenings that I was there. Yes. You need to save room for dessert. All-in-all a great dining experience in a casual atmosphere. You will not be...

The food was excellant as always but got to thinking later was suppose to get half chicken and didn't but could be I'm wrong but the place is great and it feels very homey and comfortable there.I meet a very old and dear friend there whenever we can and we get great food and spend 2 or 3 hours eating and talking and no one seems to mind us just sitting there and don't bother us unless offering more to drink or dessert.If you want a great place to meet friends or take your family and love great BBQ then this is the place to do that.And celebrating Birthday or holidays or just getting out of bed another day and want enough to eat right then or for a couple meals they are great doggie bags just for that because you won't walk out hungry and if you do that's all on you because the staff strives to make sure you get more then enough to eat .And guys if your looking for that special place to take your best girl you'll...

I have been there since the restaurant opened. At first we got great service and amazing food. But now that the restaurant is very popular I feel like they are trying to pick out their customers and just have a white customer base and keep mexican/latinos out. Last time I was there I felt like the ribs where days old, very tough and dry. I have talked to some of my friends both hispanic and white and it seems that my thoughts on the situation check out. I once recommended this place to a friend who wanted to take his wife out for dinner and he told me that the food seemed like it wasn't done that day either. I felt so bad, specially because they don't speak the language very well and couldn't complain about it to the server. I hope I'm wrong and next time I come to this place to have a meal as great as it was the first time...
