A couple days ago my wife Pam and her sisters met for lunch so I took the opportunity to dash over to Moo's BBQ and treat myself... to a generous scoop of pulled pork, three bones of baby back pork ribs and a side of fabulous BBW baked beans. That pulled porkliterally melts in your mouth, it's really that tender. The ribs are very meaty and every bit as juicy and tender. I opted forthe Texas Toast instead of the cornbread, it was nice and buttery, really tasty. I particularly like a 50/50 mix of Moo's sweetand hot rib sauce, has a very nice flavor and just a bit of heat, a just right balance. This is the kind of meal you just hateto see the last bite coming, or even worse getting full before done. Read more

Just happened across this place while motorcycling across the USA. I've been to lots of BBQ joints in my travels & this is by... far & away the BEST I have ever been to. Their meats are smoked all the way through, not just a thin rind on the surface. Thestaff is very friendly & attentive. They made sure I was one satisfied customer by the time I left. Newton may be a little outof the way but if you like really excellent BBQ, go to Moo's. Voted the best BBQ in Iowa for good reason! Read more

I had a Melody burger with bacon mac & cheese & he had a brisket sandwich with fries. The burger was one of the best I've ever... had. The brisket was meaty & delicious with just a little fat on the edge. It was sliced thick & piled high-lots of meat! Allthe sauces were yummy! Next time I'll stay away from the mac & cheese. Not the slow baked kind I prefer, but more pour somesauce on noodles, stir & top with some bacon. I wish I'd taken photos, but we were too hungry & forgot. Definitely a great placeto stop if you're on I-80 & hungry for barbecue!! Read more

A hidden gem. We arrived here on a whim as I made the mistake of leaving the DM metro area around 11 AM heading east on I-80... (without taking into account a couple of very hungry kiddos). The staff was very friendly and the food was equally amazing. Best mistake ever, and the best BBQ I?ve had in years. Read more

Food was great. Ordered Sausage, Brisket, Chicken, Coleslaw, BBQ Baked Beans, Cornbread. Chicken was the so good! We would love... to give this restaurant five stars but they were out of several food items. We do recommend this restaurant for BBQ lovers! Justget there early or expect some items to be sold out.

Stopped here off of 80, and was really pleasantly surprised! A fun, quirky atmosphere with movie title order names and a good... crowd inside, as well as some good food. The brisket was great and we loved the sauces (hot BBQ and Mojo!). Staff was generousand welcoming, I recommend it to all! Read more
Stopped through on my way back to Kansas City. Reviews got me to stop in and I'm glad I did. Family ordered ribs, brisket, and... a pulled pork spud. Fantastic. Sauces were all great too, but I liked the sweet the best. Building was a bit dated, butgenerally clean. Service was friendly and patient, while they helped us through the menu. Great find! Read more
