Rib Shack of Iowa

Slow-cooked in our barbecue pits over white oak and cherry woods, The Rib Shack is dedicated to traditional, southern-style BBQ. Never boiled or baked, once you taste the distinctive smoky flavor and fall-off-the-bone tenderness, The Rib Shack’s BBQ will be the flavor you crave for any event.
