Try the Brisket Bacon Melt and the Meaty Marys! Their spicy pickles take it to a whole new level. Otherwise a typical Jethros experience... If I wrote 50 Shades of Grey... "Christian takes Anastasia into his playroom. They've been here before. Soon she finds herself bound and blindfolded on the bed. His satin sheets caressing her smooth skin, her stomach, her breasts. But something's different this time. A warmth. Sizzling flesh. What's that smell? It's decadent. Heavenly. Christian removes her blindfold as he takes a seat in a chair just inches from her face. She knows and he smiles. She struggles, pulling against her restraints, trying to wrap her lips around it... She's wanton. He slowly devours the entire pound of bacon by himself, one piece at a time, as her eyes plead for just a single strip..." Oh come on... You knew it was going to end in bacon.

Long waits and a long menu. The appeal at this location is the bacon. My husband got the sandwich with bacon.... Way overpriced for only bacon and sauce. The dinner posted after not the same as at other locations. My turkey dinner I stick with at this location comes out like spam, not shredded smoked turkey as it does at others. Not the best bbq in Des Moines, but they do have great apps. Love the fried cheese and onion rings.

Great service and GREAT when you are feeling breakfast, even at supper time. I had the bacon biscuits and gravy and they were fantastic. The biscuits had great flavor and were very fluffy. My fiance had the bacon peanut butter pancakes and they were GREAT as well. Our server was a bit quirky, but that's okay with us. Just like the other Jethro's, the tables are a bit too close to each other for my liking, but that's not enough for me to knock them down to 4 stars. We will be returning soon!

My friend, Sam W, would be screaming 10 f words in excitement spewing it like a machine gun if he goes to Jethro's. In fact, he would get weak in the knees just looking at the big sign outside that said.."Jethro's BBQ n Bacon, Bacon." This place would make the bacon whisperer very happy. I went here for a business lunch and people I worked with had been promising to take me here to try the Adam Emmenecker's sandwich. That thing was supposedly gynormous and filled with all kinds of meats weighing 4 pounds or 8 pounds..we didn't really know. People at the table was debating on the weight but to me either sounded like a suicide waiting to happen. What a great way to go though? Mh...maybe if I ever get desperate enough to off myself, I just eat this sandwich. LOL. That Man vs. Food guy tried it but he failed. However, there was a tiny local woman that had devoured it several times like it was nothing. She must be what people refer to as "bottomless pit." It took awhile for me to decide as there were tons of things that sounded great but I wanted to be able to get a perfect combo of some BBQ and also some bacon. I ended up following suit of the choice of the table - brisket bacon melt. Hell yeah! If that wasn't a perfect combo, I wouldn't know what else, other than perhaps that giant sandwich above or The Jethro sandwich that was still pretty huge. The others ordered bacon cheeseburger, buffalo chicken wrap, and Ultimate BLT. I was happy with my choice. They chopped the bacon and incorporated it in the brisket patty, some thousand island dressing and tucked it in two slices of toasted rye bread. Oh my! Deeeelicious! Nothing about the sandwich screamed healthy. I felt somewhat guilty eating it but I couldn't say that it wasn't tasty. In fact, it was too tasty! Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. I liked my sweet potato fries. Some ordered regular fries and tator tots. The buffalo wrap was quite spicy it seemed like as my coworker who had participated in hot pepper eating contest said it had quite a kick. The BLT looked ridiculously great. It looked like Medusa's head with the snakes being crispy bacons just protruding out from both sides. The place was an old Hooters building but I hardly recognized it if I weren't told. It was totally Iowa and the pork theme is definitely central. This Jethro's also serves breakfast all day. Service was fair and price wasn't bad for the amount of food you got. I was so full I couldn't even finish my meal. Plus, I skipped dinner because I was still full. I guess there are several Jethro's in Iowa and each has its own theme. Maybe, I would make it a project to try each one when visiting Iowa. Sounds like a yummy plan! People said there's nothing better than bacon. In fact, there's something better than bacon. What is that? More Bacon. Jethro's is that place that can deliver more bacon on every turn of the menu page. You can pretty much eat all the bacon you want from a bucket of bacon appetizer to a bucket of chocolate covered bacon for dessert. It's not just bacon. It's Bacon, Bacon!

Bright and early 8:30 rolled in with our niece. Sat right away with no wait. Our first time in since the remodel take over of the old Hooters. Bacon bacon bacon all over the menu. Our niece got a fun twisty toy instead of crayons. Picked out our meals. I got the recommended French toast and big glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. Yes the oj was fresh. And delicious. The French toast tasted really good. Done just perfect for me. We got a Mickey pancake kids breakfast. It was enough food for me. I really enjoyed my French toast. It came with the crispy bacon like i asked. Perfect. Wish the butter hadn't been cold single servings. He had a meal with brisket with his eggs and biscuit. The Jake. The biscuit tasted like it was made in house. So overall good experience. Good food. Nice overall feel. The hype was a little much but it was a good experience.

It's fine, but not the most consistent Jethros location. Wings are almost always really good. Other items have been hit or miss. Expect to wait on the weekends and even some week day evenings. We've had good service each time we've been there.

Slash M.
Some of the best BBQ I've ever had. Went in to try the food challenge burger without actually doing the challenge. The waitress talked us into splitting one since we weren't doing the challenge. I am so glad she did. I was able to just finish my half my son had to ask for a box. Great food and fun atmosphere. Going back soon. Open one in Omaha please?!

Waited 30 minutes and gave up on the promised table. Then went to the bar and felt ignored. There was hardly anyone there- so we just left. Sooooo Avoid eating on a game night. It's terrible service.

The pulled pork is some of the best I've had and the portions at well worth the cost. Not a great amount of beers to choose from but the do have some decent drink specials. Wait staff is great and very cordial. Best part is being able to smell the smoker as soon as you enter the parking lot out of all the different locations I would have to say this is the best one

The ribs are no joke. I had the half rack with 5 wings. The wings had a very good smokey flavor and a great tasting sauce. I'm sure they have great bbq sauce but the ribs don't need it. Good local brews and good staff.

Jethro's Bacon Bacon was the highlight of my business trip to the area, went 3 times in two weeks. Twice for dinner - beer was cold, service was fast at the bar and staff was friendly. The rib taster was amazing, 3 rib bones wrapped in bacon and served over tater tots. meat fell off the bone. Bacon ice cream was so good and unique. Went for breakfast as well - the French toast with hash browns and bacon, kept me eating it way past the point of being full. Do order it with bacon butter and the apple bacon topping. Bacon lovers will fall in love with this place!

I don't totally understand all the excitement around Jethro's. It's totally Iowa, which is awesome, and the prices are very fair for the [huge] amount of food you get. It's just not what I usually like to eat...but to each their own. My coworkers from out of town always like to visit Jethro's while in town. We usually hit up the Waukee location, so visiting this location was a nice change of pace. The restaurant, occupying the old Hooters location, is on the small-side, so the wait was pretty long, especially for our Tuesday evening visit. Once seated, our server was very helpful. She made recommendations and was attentive. We started with wings and drinks and took some time to chat while we decided on our orders. I will say: I LOVE breakfast, and it's pretty awesome that breakfast is available all day here. I tried the breakfast quesadilla with brisket, which was good, but I'll try something different next time (other things just looked better). My coworkers got the club, French toast, one of the breakfast entrees with eggs, bacon, a biscuit, etc., and a pulled pork sandwich. Everyone was very happy with their meals, and no one left hungry. In fact, that's probably my one piece of advice for Jethro's: come hungry and wear stretchy pants. You.will.eat .too.much. 'Merica.

I was really looking forward to going to this new Jethro's because everyone had spoken highly of it. I was really disappointed in the quality. I ordered an omelet (this location does breakfast all day), and it was over salted and super greasy. My husband got a breakfast platter, which had a bit of everything. I will say that their biscuits and gravy were pretty good, but overall everything seemed like it was just frozen then microwaved, or out of a can! So sad. The environment is really casual and laid back, so I did enjoy the atmosphere but I would not pay to eat there again. The service was so-so. When we were able to get the waitress attention, she was very sweet, but we could never find her when we needed her. This was a similar experience with another Jethros Jambalaya. Try it for yourself, but I don't see what people find in this that makes them line out the door.

It's been 5 years since I walked in to a Jethros location because of service problems, but I decided to give them a shot today, had the Triple Bacon Bacon Burger, and was not disappointed, the burger, although cooked a little too well done for my taste was still juicy and very tasty, the bacon was not cooked to a crisp like at some other places, it was cooked just right, a little crunch but still meaty, the hash browns were right up there with some of the best I had, crispy outside and moist on the inside, oh! And the sweet tea! Just awesome! Even though I've had problems with service at Jethros before I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Got a chance to try out the new Jethro's for a late Sunday breakfast. And after hearing all the rave reviews I had to try it. The newest Jethro's takes over the old Hooters building and I was curious to see how they would transform the inside into Jethro's. It's definitely smaller than the other new Jethro's in Waukee and Ankeny but bigger than the original on Forrest Ave. Really my only complaint of the visit is this, I got there at 10:50 and the wait was still an hour and 15 minutes. Yet, there were a few empty tables at any given moment. Apparently they are still having staffing or kitchen issues because I'm not sure why those weren't being used to get more people in the door. Because of the size it's also pretty apparent that they scaled back the amount of TVs in the place. The bar still has a good amount though. At the time it looked like they didn't have NFL Sunday Ticket since they were only showing the two games on CBS and Fox. They will probably just wait until next year since the NFL season is half over. Compared to the other Jethro's this one didn't have as many beer taps. Still had a good selection of craft beers but I counted 10 or 12 taps compared to around 20 or more at the others. I grabbed a bacon bloody mary while we waited and it was very good. The bacon salt on the rim was awesome! So for the food, I got the Biscuits and Gravy with eggs and hash browns and a side of bacon. The gravy was outstanding as it not only has sausage in it but also (of course) it has bacon. Some of the best restaurant biscuits and gravy I have ever had. My over easy eggs were a little runny but it wasn't enough to take away from the main part of the meal. And the bacon! Oh the bacon! Nice thick cut with good crunch yet still had a little chew as well. Fantastic! I think I found a new place for breakfast! Another home run for the Jethro's folks. Once they get some of the wait time issued addressed this place is going to be killer!

Now I can say that I ate at Jethro's Bacon Bacon. If I don't go there again, I don't really care. Of the five Jethro's locations, I liked this one the least. I had the Smoked Tom Turkey Wrap with a cup of Bacon Potato Soup. My food was ordinary. It was tasty enough but could have been better. The waitress did her job but that was it, no extra smiles. Disappointing.

Michael M.
My friend and I had breakfast here last Sunday, and thought the food was solid. We both had egg dishes, and while they were not out of this world, they were still better than places like Village Inn or Denny's. The service was great and the portions are generous. Very easy to get to right off the highway.

Not really crazy about this location. I like the one by Drake a lot more. Maybe this one is just getting warmed up but I could pass it up pretty easily. Been twice and neither time was I really wowed by anything. Last time the waitress was not rude but just "doing her job". I'll spend my $$ elsewhere. Too many other choices that knock your socks off in Des Moines. Hate to knock a business but this is my opinion. Maybe you'll have a better experience.

Maiden voyage to local legend Jethro's, now in West Des - Jethro's Bacon Bacon. What's not to like? Bacon. Sunday afternoon, a half dozen people waiting, multiple tables open, 20 minute wait. Ok...10-15 minutes later our LED hockey puck lights up, we're in. Expectations run high. 5 minutes pass. No server. 10 minutes pass, server makes a cameo...we order drinks and appetizer. ( Brisket quesadilla, delish). Another 10 minutes, our drinks arrive, we order and the table next to us leaves. 10 minutes later a new table seats and within minutes they order. 20 minutes later their food arrives, several minutes later our food arrives. WTF? We've been seated for 45 minutes waiting for a burger and sandwich. Server shows and apologizes for delay in our food, "sometime some menu items take longer to make than others". Yeah, but a burger and brisket sandwich?! Ok, enough about the service, the Breakfast Stout was good. Very smooth on the front with bitter finish. Very tasty and worked great with with bbq. Brisket sandwich with bacon and a free side of tots was ok. Just warm, greasy, and disheveled. It was clearly tossed together and sat under a warming lamp for toI long. My son's burger he said was good, but he only ate a couple bites. Left overs are in the fridge. Maybe he was full from the brisket quesadilla, hard telling from a 15 yo. Second point of stout show's just as I wrap up my meal. I have years of experience in restaurant kitchens. Maybe they were short handed..out front and in back, perhaps the Sun. dishwasher was a no show and one of the cooks was chin deep in slop, or maybe morale sucks and general. I hope our server was just new - I know trial by fire. I'm pretty forgiving with experiences like this. They WEREN'T that busy. I'll give Jethro's one more chance, after my tummy settles.

Jeremy F.
Usually end up coming here with friends. The food is good, but not amazing, it's the gimmick of so much bacon that brings everyone in. Also so many things on the menu are additional charges so you can rack up a bigger bill then you would expect pretty quick. The service is pretty good and the food is very fast. The biggest disappointment I have found here is there is nothing very original here, I've seen items like bacon ice cream else where. I would not discourage anyone from trying jethros, but don't have very high expectations, the food will be good but there is more hype then substance here.

Bacchus C.
Atmosphere is great and I would certainly go back with friends, but not going to go back on my own. Reason being the food just wasn't that amazing. The bacon (let's be honest the reason your even there) is just thick cut bacon. Not sure what I was expecting, but I can cook better at home. I had the Pickle Chips which were simple and great! With these, I sampled the collection of BBQ sauce they have there. Thumbs up on the sauce! For my meal I had the Bacon Bacon Sandwich with the Hollandaise sauce. Came on a cheap store bought bun with bacon and sauce. The side was the best part with mashed potato's and sausage bacon gravy. It's food, just don't expect a wonderland of amazing bacon.

Myself and 2 other friends decided to grab lunch there on a Saturday - which also happened to be a Hawkeye Saturday. The place was packed so we ended up having a 45 minute wait (went by pretty fast). There are enough TVs when you first walk to be easily entertained. If you thought deciding where to eat was a tough choice wait until you get here and grab a menu. It has 8 pages full of bbq, bacon and breakfast items. I ordered the The Bacon Bacon Steak Sandwich.The menu describes it as: Jethro's own dry aged and slow smoked bacon steak, hand carved thick and piled high on a toasted hoagie. Eat it plain or add Hollandaise. Comes with your choice of a side 10.95. Double the Bacon 15.95 The waitress did notify me that the sandwich does NOT have a steak with bacon on it. It is literally a bacon sandwich with a hoagie bun.The bacon though was indeed cut pretty thick and three slices was enough to make me full and literally feel like bacon grease. Wash it all down with a Des Moines IPA from Confluence Brewery and call it a day. They have a great selection of available smoked meats to put on your nachos. This time I order the pulled pork and it was super tender and had a great smoky flavor with it. Fresh fried corn chips dusted with a special rub, smothered in white cheddar sauce and shredded cheeses are topped with a choice of taco meat, blackened chicken, brisket or pulled pork, and finished with smoked corn pico, guacamole and sour cream ($10.95 whole, $8.95 half order). I ordered one platter and it fed two of us with ease.

great and fun place to eat, and family friendly. Had to wait for :30 minutes, but that was not a big deal. We split a meal for 2 that included 4 meats and 4 sides. This was more than enough for the 2 of us. Meats ordered were pulled pork, brisket, ham, turkey. I would highly recommend the pulled pork! flavorful sauces are on each table, we tried most of them, but kept going back to the "bigger bottle" of the original sauce.

He And She I.
Can I have another star, pretty please? This is one place that rates six. Despite the wait. I had the brisket nachos, half portion, and had to leave it half done...I nearly cried. He had the half slab and brisket with mashed potatoes and bacon gravy and apple sauce. He smiled for the whole meal. Charlie's Rendevous in Memphis is going to have to be really good on Tuesday to top this (we are on the road to NOLA).

Jenny Z.
Longish wait despite the empty tables around. Finished the bloody mary before we sat and was really disappointed to see they use a name brand bloody mixer. Ordered fried cheese and it arrived overcooked and with all of the cheese cooked out. Sent it back and said we didn't need a new one. They sent a new one anyway and it too was overcooked, over greasy and missing the cheese as well. My Jake meal was not good. Did Jethros just phone this restaurant in? Seriously this had zero flavor which made the dry brisket and undercooked hashbrowns even more apparent. Gross. My boyfriend had the club and said it was eh. Said the best part was the tater tots and they were overcooked too. The staff was friendly which is why it gets two stars but the whole menu and the food we received was subpar. They really need to go back to and reevaluate here. Seems like they were trying to ride the bacon train but forgot to actually get on the train.

Service was wonderful. I sat at the bar (by myself) on Valentine's Day and the staff was very accommodating for being very busy. They have a fresh squeezed juice extractor behind the bar. Combined with the Grey Goose, I had the smoothest and most refreshing screwdriver I've ever had in my life. One of the girls tending the bar was sharing some homemade chocolate chip cookies her grandmother had brought her for V-Day, which was very nice. Unfortunately, the food was just meh. The turkey tasted burnt and salty; the kielbasa was just so-so. As with other Jethro's, they have a vinegary Carolina style BBQ sauce that I haven't come across yet in Des Moines (haven't been to a couple of the other "hot spots" yet, however). The cole slaw was creamy, but I thought the inclusion of pickle chips in the slaw was off-putting. Food trends towards a 2, service gets 5 stars.

Annie O.
Breakfast is really good with one exception, scrambled eggs they just can't make them. The menu says scrambled eggs, but they come fried or as an omelet. Really disappointed! I have been back three times to make sure it wasn't just a fluke. Every time fried! Very sad. Again great food! But they just can't make scrambled eggs

Service was terrible. That's the long and short of it. I went on a random weekday, mid morning and there were like 7 people at the host stand! I get seated and NOBODY comes to bring me water, introduce specials. Nothing. I watched them fraternize at the host podium. About 3-4 different waitresses walked by me with no water or anything, served their respective tables and went back to the host stand/bar. I was about to walk out & then finally someone came. I ordered the Papa breakfast with french toast and it was DROWNING in oil. I love breakfast & bacon but this was just nasty!

Went here for brunch this morning with a party of 5. We ended up waiting for about 50 minutes which is to be expected since it's a new restaurant and we went at a peak time. We started our meal out with a half a plate of onion rings as an appetizer which was pretty huge and perfect size for the five of us! I also got the bacon bacon Bloody Mary which would have been perfect had there been a little less bacon salt and pepper. The service was pretty good the waitress seemed a little overwhelmed, but she did a good job still. For my main course I ordered the cookie dough pancakes and they were amazing!! Definitely some of the best pancakes I have ever tasted. I also got a side of the Mac n cheese and that was also phenomenal!! All in all we had a great experience at Jethro's and can't wait to go back!

Eric I.
Bacon? Yes lots of bacon on or in everything. Jethro's is exactly what it is supposed to be. They have more beer choices than I have seen anywhere else in Iowa. The burgers are good and the sauces are even better. I can't find a single thing to complain about this place. I will definitely be back.

Tyler O.
Have had the chance to eat at the new Bacon Bacon twice now and both times was not disappointed. 1st time I got breakfast and tried hashbrown skillet called the 'Des Moines' which was very good normal breakfast style food. 2nd time I was suggested the Bacon Philly which was outstanding. At first I was skeptical that it was not going to have enough meat,but was wrong. It was loaded with tons of thin shaved bacon that almost had the texture of pulled pork once it was piled on. Add some onions, peppers, and cheese and I was enjoying every bite.

I tried to visit this new Jethro's last week, the second week it was open, but at 11:30 A.M. there was already a line outside the entrance. To be expected with a new place. Today, only two people waiting outside at lunchtime, so Sis and I tried it. Only a short wait -- 15 minutes at most. Lots of room inside, although it is smaller than their restaurant in Waukee. We got a corner table and had a pretty good view of the place. I don't go to a restaurant to watch TV, so I have no idea how many there are. I'm interested in the food!! And it was interesting. I settled on the Brisket Bacon Melt, and Sis had the Billy Bacon Wrap. Service was quick, friendly and attentive. We had our dishes within five minutes. Portions were big, but not unpleasantly so. My sandwich was hot, crisp and juicy. And full of flavor. Sis was very pleased with hers as well. Our waitress, Tina, was quick to bring extra napkins (as I said, Juicy!) and to refill our glasses. In sum, a very good lunch in pleasant surroundings. I'll be back.

They are still 'opening up' this location, but the food was good. We arrived about 6:00 on a Wednesday night. Not too terrible amount of people waiting, but they told us an hour wait. When we went inside to the bar we saw a ton of tables open. Guess they don't have their routine down yet. Anyway, three bar stools at the bar opened up, so we sat there. We all had the brisket and bacon sandwich. Very good. Staff was really friendly, and I'd like to go back to try a few other things on the menu - probably after the 'newness' crowd dies down a bit. We've eaten at other Jethro's locations, and so if you like that food, this will seem familiar.

Taylor A.
We ate on a Sunday night and the whole place was pretty empty so we got a table as we walked in. I was very hungry and ready to eat. Another reviewer commented that the food is not the same as the other Jethro's. That comment sadly turned out to be true. I ordered the Nachos with pulled pork and my parents split a sandwich with sweet potato fries. The waiter made a mistake [no big deal] and the sandwich came with regular fries. I started to eat my Nachos and they were cold first bite. Now, maybe there are cold ingredients that brought the temp down, but this food was cold--no exaggeration. What disappoints me is that the waiter came back no more than 15 seconds later with the remake [sweet potato fries]. A new basket of fries should take 3 minutes minimum meaning that this food was prepped and ready to go. Make no mistake this food was definitely cold. I hate to insult others who work at this restaurant, but somebody is cutting corners here. If you are reading this review to see if you want to eat here, go to another Jethro's or better yet; patronize other local bbq places. I had a bad experience and I don't think I have high expectations.

Lunch time. Very diverse diners. We arrived at 12:25 and were seated 15 minutes later. It seemed like there were several empty tables yet the waiting room wasn't keeping up with the empties. We selected Jethro's Bacon Bacon Steak sandwich and the Pork Tenderloin, both with tater tots for a side. It's just like the Jethro's you expect, but with an infusion of bacon everywhere. The Bacon Bacon Steak description in the menu was lacking, so in case you are wondering, we don't know what flavor the bacon is. There is no steak, it's all slices of thick cut bacon. Thick slices are the bacon steak. A few spots were all fatty and not crispy, but overall cooked well enough. The bread seemed to be ciabatta. Pickles came with it. Tasted great. The tenderloin was humongous compared to the bun. Breading was very crumbly and crispy-good, with plenty of pickles to cover the surface. Lettuce, two tomato slices, and onion slices came with. Tasted great. The tater tots were excellently crisp on the outside and tender on the inside! Drinks were refilled in a timely manner. There is a small 'store' inside the breezeway that includes pork related miscellany and a cooler of bacon. The bacon is marked for flavor but not weight for $7.95. We're assuming the packages are one pound. They appear to be hand sliced. We were finished by 1:20.

Good food and nice atmosphere. Staff was on point and very attentive. Bacon was a little disappointing considering its their signature theme (not bad, just not what I expected). Will try again for sure

Jennifer K.
Dined on a Sunday afternoon with two others. Not sure what the hype is about. All agreed that the bbq was fine, but that the sides were not up to par. The macaroni and cheese was tasteless (one of my companions described it as tasting like paste), and the jalapeno corn was nearly inedible with a funky flavor. Beans and coleslaw were described as "OK." I ordered Texas toast but got a corn muffin which was a basic jiffy-type muffin. Service was fast and friendly, however. I'd try it again, but maybe stick to the fries.

15 min wait not bad for a to go order. the staff was friendly the ONLY bad thing is that there was no clear place to stand and not be in the waitstaffs way or someone wanting to sit at the bar. I suppose you could sit outside and guesstimate how long to wait for my food because, no one comes out and no announcement is made. beyond that the new place is great and busy.

Had the grandmas breakfast. Two thin pieces of toast , two eggs (were okay )but the bacon that came with it were super thin. I assumed it would be thick bacon considering the name. Staff was friendly. Place was clean and new. I'll stick with hy-vee for breakfast-cheaper plus it comes with has browns there and a buck cheaper too : )

Great service and GREAT when you are feeling breakfast, even at supper time. I had the bacon biscuits and gravy and they were fantastic. The biscuits had great flavor and were very fluffy. My fiance had the bacon peanut butter pancakes and they were GREAT as well. Our server was a bit quirky, but that's okay with us. Just like the other Jethro's, the tables are a bit too close to each other for my liking, but that's not enough for me to knock them down to 4 stars. We will be returning soon!

My friend, Sam W, would be screaming 10 f words in excitement spewing it like a machine gun if he goes to Jethro's. In fact, he would get weak in the knees just looking at the big sign outside that said.."Jethro's BBQ n Bacon, Bacon." This place would make the bacon whisperer very happy. I went here for a business lunch and people I worked with had been promising to take me here to try the Adam Emmenecker's sandwich. That thing was supposedly gynormous and filled with all kinds of meats weighing 4 pounds or 8 pounds..we didn't really know. People at the table was debating on the weight but to me either sounded like a suicide waiting to happen. What a great way to go though? Mh...maybe if I ever get desperate enough to off myself, I just eat this sandwich. LOL. That Man vs. Food guy tried it but he failed. However, there was a tiny local woman that had devoured it several times like it was nothing. She must be what people refer to as "bottomless pit." It took awhile for me to decide as there were tons of things that sounded great but I wanted to be able to get a perfect combo of some BBQ and also some bacon. I ended up following suit of the choice of the table - brisket bacon melt. Hell yeah! If that wasn't a perfect combo, I wouldn't know what else, other than perhaps that giant sandwich above or The Jethro sandwich that was still pretty huge. The others ordered bacon cheeseburger, buffalo chicken wrap, and Ultimate BLT. I was happy with my choice. They chopped the bacon and incorporated it in the brisket patty, some thousand island dressing and tucked it in two slices of toasted rye bread. Oh my! Deeeelicious! Nothing about the sandwich screamed healthy. I felt somewhat guilty eating it but I couldn't say that it wasn't tasty. In fact, it was too tasty! Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. I liked my sweet potato fries. Some ordered regular fries and tator tots. The buffalo wrap was quite spicy it seemed like as my coworker who had participated in hot pepper eating contest said it had quite a kick. The BLT looked ridiculously great. It looked like Medusa's head with the snakes being crispy bacons just protruding out from both sides. The place was an old Hooters building but I hardly recognized it if I weren't told. It was totally Iowa and the pork theme is definitely central. This Jethro's also serves breakfast all day. Service was fair and price wasn't bad for the amount of food you got. I was so full I couldn't even finish my meal. Plus, I skipped dinner because I was still full. I guess there are several Jethro's in Iowa and each has its own theme. Maybe, I would make it a project to try each one when visiting Iowa. Sounds like a yummy plan! People said there's nothing better than bacon. In fact, there's something better than bacon. What is that? More Bacon. Jethro's is that place that can deliver more bacon on every turn of the menu page. You can pretty much eat all the bacon you want from a bucket of bacon appetizer to a bucket of chocolate covered bacon for dessert. It's not just bacon. It's Bacon, Bacon!

Bright and early 8:30 rolled in with our niece. Sat right away with no wait. Our first time in since the remodel take over of the old Hooters. Bacon bacon bacon all over the menu. Our niece got a fun twisty toy instead of crayons. Picked out our meals. I got the recommended French toast and big glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. Yes the oj was fresh. And delicious. The French toast tasted really good. Done just perfect for me. We got a Mickey pancake kids breakfast. It was enough food for me. I really enjoyed my French toast. It came with the crispy bacon like i asked. Perfect. Wish the butter hadn't been cold single servings. He had a meal with brisket with his eggs and biscuit. The Jake. The biscuit tasted like it was made in house. So overall good experience. Good food. Nice overall feel. The hype was a little much but it was a good experience.
(4)Erin H.
It's fine, but not the most consistent Jethros location. Wings are almost always really good. Other items have been hit or miss. Expect to wait on the weekends and even some week day evenings. We've had good service each time we've been there.
(2)Slash M.
Some of the best BBQ I've ever had. Went in to try the food challenge burger without actually doing the challenge. The waitress talked us into splitting one since we weren't doing the challenge. I am so glad she did. I was able to just finish my half my son had to ask for a box. Great food and fun atmosphere. Going back soon. Open one in Omaha please?!
(5)Brian W.
Waited 30 minutes and gave up on the promised table. Then went to the bar and felt ignored. There was hardly anyone there- so we just left. Sooooo Avoid eating on a game night. It's terrible service.
(2)Brooke H.
The pulled pork is some of the best I've had and the portions at well worth the cost. Not a great amount of beers to choose from but the do have some decent drink specials. Wait staff is great and very cordial. Best part is being able to smell the smoker as soon as you enter the parking lot out of all the different locations I would have to say this is the best one
(4)Sho N.
The ribs are no joke. I had the half rack with 5 wings. The wings had a very good smokey flavor and a great tasting sauce. I'm sure they have great bbq sauce but the ribs don't need it. Good local brews and good staff.
(4)Jill W.
Jethro's Bacon Bacon was the highlight of my business trip to the area, went 3 times in two weeks. Twice for dinner - beer was cold, service was fast at the bar and staff was friendly. The rib taster was amazing, 3 rib bones wrapped in bacon and served over tater tots. meat fell off the bone. Bacon ice cream was so good and unique. Went for breakfast as well - the French toast with hash browns and bacon, kept me eating it way past the point of being full. Do order it with bacon butter and the apple bacon topping. Bacon lovers will fall in love with this place!
(5)Amy S.
I don't totally understand all the excitement around Jethro's. It's totally Iowa, which is awesome, and the prices are very fair for the [huge] amount of food you get. It's just not what I usually like to eat...but to each their own. My coworkers from out of town always like to visit Jethro's while in town. We usually hit up the Waukee location, so visiting this location was a nice change of pace. The restaurant, occupying the old Hooters location, is on the small-side, so the wait was pretty long, especially for our Tuesday evening visit. Once seated, our server was very helpful. She made recommendations and was attentive. We started with wings and drinks and took some time to chat while we decided on our orders. I will say: I LOVE breakfast, and it's pretty awesome that breakfast is available all day here. I tried the breakfast quesadilla with brisket, which was good, but I'll try something different next time (other things just looked better). My coworkers got the club, French toast, one of the breakfast entrees with eggs, bacon, a biscuit, etc., and a pulled pork sandwich. Everyone was very happy with their meals, and no one left hungry. In fact, that's probably my one piece of advice for Jethro's: come hungry and wear stretchy pants. You.will.eat .too.much. 'Merica.

I was really looking forward to going to this new Jethro's because everyone had spoken highly of it. I was really disappointed in the quality. I ordered an omelet (this location does breakfast all day), and it was over salted and super greasy. My husband got a breakfast platter, which had a bit of everything. I will say that their biscuits and gravy were pretty good, but overall everything seemed like it was just frozen then microwaved, or out of a can! So sad. The environment is really casual and laid back, so I did enjoy the atmosphere but I would not pay to eat there again. The service was so-so. When we were able to get the waitress attention, she was very sweet, but we could never find her when we needed her. This was a similar experience with another Jethros Jambalaya. Try it for yourself, but I don't see what people find in this that makes them line out the door.
(2)Tony M.
It's been 5 years since I walked in to a Jethros location because of service problems, but I decided to give them a shot today, had the Triple Bacon Bacon Burger, and was not disappointed, the burger, although cooked a little too well done for my taste was still juicy and very tasty, the bacon was not cooked to a crisp like at some other places, it was cooked just right, a little crunch but still meaty, the hash browns were right up there with some of the best I had, crispy outside and moist on the inside, oh! And the sweet tea! Just awesome! Even though I've had problems with service at Jethros before I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Got a chance to try out the new Jethro's for a late Sunday breakfast. And after hearing all the rave reviews I had to try it. The newest Jethro's takes over the old Hooters building and I was curious to see how they would transform the inside into Jethro's. It's definitely smaller than the other new Jethro's in Waukee and Ankeny but bigger than the original on Forrest Ave. Really my only complaint of the visit is this, I got there at 10:50 and the wait was still an hour and 15 minutes. Yet, there were a few empty tables at any given moment. Apparently they are still having staffing or kitchen issues because I'm not sure why those weren't being used to get more people in the door. Because of the size it's also pretty apparent that they scaled back the amount of TVs in the place. The bar still has a good amount though. At the time it looked like they didn't have NFL Sunday Ticket since they were only showing the two games on CBS and Fox. They will probably just wait until next year since the NFL season is half over. Compared to the other Jethro's this one didn't have as many beer taps. Still had a good selection of craft beers but I counted 10 or 12 taps compared to around 20 or more at the others. I grabbed a bacon bloody mary while we waited and it was very good. The bacon salt on the rim was awesome! So for the food, I got the Biscuits and Gravy with eggs and hash browns and a side of bacon. The gravy was outstanding as it not only has sausage in it but also (of course) it has bacon. Some of the best restaurant biscuits and gravy I have ever had. My over easy eggs were a little runny but it wasn't enough to take away from the main part of the meal. And the bacon! Oh the bacon! Nice thick cut with good crunch yet still had a little chew as well. Fantastic! I think I found a new place for breakfast! Another home run for the Jethro's folks. Once they get some of the wait time issued addressed this place is going to be killer!
(5)Marilyn R.
Now I can say that I ate at Jethro's Bacon Bacon. If I don't go there again, I don't really care. Of the five Jethro's locations, I liked this one the least. I had the Smoked Tom Turkey Wrap with a cup of Bacon Potato Soup. My food was ordinary. It was tasty enough but could have been better. The waitress did her job but that was it, no extra smiles. Disappointing.
(2)Michael M.
My friend and I had breakfast here last Sunday, and thought the food was solid. We both had egg dishes, and while they were not out of this world, they were still better than places like Village Inn or Denny's. The service was great and the portions are generous. Very easy to get to right off the highway.
(3)Sheila Z.
Now I see why they say Jethros has the best wings in Iowa! YUMM!!! Great food, friendly and fast service. Will visit again when back in Des Moines. AND great pickle chips
(5)Greg B.
Not really crazy about this location. I like the one by Drake a lot more. Maybe this one is just getting warmed up but I could pass it up pretty easily. Been twice and neither time was I really wowed by anything. Last time the waitress was not rude but just "doing her job". I'll spend my $$ elsewhere. Too many other choices that knock your socks off in Des Moines. Hate to knock a business but this is my opinion. Maybe you'll have a better experience.
(3)Jed N.
Maiden voyage to local legend Jethro's, now in West Des - Jethro's Bacon Bacon. What's not to like? Bacon. Sunday afternoon, a half dozen people waiting, multiple tables open, 20 minute wait. Ok...10-15 minutes later our LED hockey puck lights up, we're in. Expectations run high. 5 minutes pass. No server. 10 minutes pass, server makes a cameo...we order drinks and appetizer. ( Brisket quesadilla, delish). Another 10 minutes, our drinks arrive, we order and the table next to us leaves. 10 minutes later a new table seats and within minutes they order. 20 minutes later their food arrives, several minutes later our food arrives. WTF? We've been seated for 45 minutes waiting for a burger and sandwich. Server shows and apologizes for delay in our food, "sometime some menu items take longer to make than others". Yeah, but a burger and brisket sandwich?! Ok, enough about the service, the Breakfast Stout was good. Very smooth on the front with bitter finish. Very tasty and worked great with with bbq. Brisket sandwich with bacon and a free side of tots was ok. Just warm, greasy, and disheveled. It was clearly tossed together and sat under a warming lamp for toI long. My son's burger he said was good, but he only ate a couple bites. Left overs are in the fridge. Maybe he was full from the brisket quesadilla, hard telling from a 15 yo. Second point of stout show's just as I wrap up my meal. I have years of experience in restaurant kitchens. Maybe they were short handed..out front and in back, perhaps the Sun. dishwasher was a no show and one of the cooks was chin deep in slop, or maybe morale sucks and general. I hope our server was just new - I know trial by fire. I'm pretty forgiving with experiences like this. They WEREN'T that busy. I'll give Jethro's one more chance, after my tummy settles.
(2)Jeremy F.
Usually end up coming here with friends. The food is good, but not amazing, it's the gimmick of so much bacon that brings everyone in. Also so many things on the menu are additional charges so you can rack up a bigger bill then you would expect pretty quick. The service is pretty good and the food is very fast. The biggest disappointment I have found here is there is nothing very original here, I've seen items like bacon ice cream else where. I would not discourage anyone from trying jethros, but don't have very high expectations, the food will be good but there is more hype then substance here.
(3)Bacchus C.
Atmosphere is great and I would certainly go back with friends, but not going to go back on my own. Reason being the food just wasn't that amazing. The bacon (let's be honest the reason your even there) is just thick cut bacon. Not sure what I was expecting, but I can cook better at home. I had the Pickle Chips which were simple and great! With these, I sampled the collection of BBQ sauce they have there. Thumbs up on the sauce! For my meal I had the Bacon Bacon Sandwich with the Hollandaise sauce. Came on a cheap store bought bun with bacon and sauce. The side was the best part with mashed potato's and sausage bacon gravy. It's food, just don't expect a wonderland of amazing bacon.
(3)Corn M.
Fun place for the entire Fam! I had a blt salad! The waitress was very good and had our kids meals out fast to keep our kids happy!
(4)Nick L.
Myself and 2 other friends decided to grab lunch there on a Saturday - which also happened to be a Hawkeye Saturday. The place was packed so we ended up having a 45 minute wait (went by pretty fast). There are enough TVs when you first walk to be easily entertained. If you thought deciding where to eat was a tough choice wait until you get here and grab a menu. It has 8 pages full of bbq, bacon and breakfast items. I ordered the The Bacon Bacon Steak Sandwich.The menu describes it as: Jethro's own dry aged and slow smoked bacon steak, hand carved thick and piled high on a toasted hoagie. Eat it plain or add Hollandaise. Comes with your choice of a side 10.95. Double the Bacon 15.95 The waitress did notify me that the sandwich does NOT have a steak with bacon on it. It is literally a bacon sandwich with a hoagie bun.The bacon though was indeed cut pretty thick and three slices was enough to make me full and literally feel like bacon grease. Wash it all down with a Des Moines IPA from Confluence Brewery and call it a day. They have a great selection of available smoked meats to put on your nachos. This time I order the pulled pork and it was super tender and had a great smoky flavor with it. Fresh fried corn chips dusted with a special rub, smothered in white cheddar sauce and shredded cheeses are topped with a choice of taco meat, blackened chicken, brisket or pulled pork, and finished with smoked corn pico, guacamole and sour cream ($10.95 whole, $8.95 half order). I ordered one platter and it fed two of us with ease.
(3)Scott A.
great and fun place to eat, and family friendly. Had to wait for :30 minutes, but that was not a big deal. We split a meal for 2 that included 4 meats and 4 sides. This was more than enough for the 2 of us. Meats ordered were pulled pork, brisket, ham, turkey. I would highly recommend the pulled pork! flavorful sauces are on each table, we tried most of them, but kept going back to the "bigger bottle" of the original sauce.
(4)He And She I.
Can I have another star, pretty please? This is one place that rates six. Despite the wait. I had the brisket nachos, half portion, and had to leave it half done...I nearly cried. He had the half slab and brisket with mashed potatoes and bacon gravy and apple sauce. He smiled for the whole meal. Charlie's Rendevous in Memphis is going to have to be really good on Tuesday to top this (we are on the road to NOLA).
(5)Jenny Z.
Longish wait despite the empty tables around. Finished the bloody mary before we sat and was really disappointed to see they use a name brand bloody mixer. Ordered fried cheese and it arrived overcooked and with all of the cheese cooked out. Sent it back and said we didn't need a new one. They sent a new one anyway and it too was overcooked, over greasy and missing the cheese as well. My Jake meal was not good. Did Jethros just phone this restaurant in? Seriously this had zero flavor which made the dry brisket and undercooked hashbrowns even more apparent. Gross. My boyfriend had the club and said it was eh. Said the best part was the tater tots and they were overcooked too. The staff was friendly which is why it gets two stars but the whole menu and the food we received was subpar. They really need to go back to and reevaluate here. Seems like they were trying to ride the bacon train but forgot to actually get on the train.
(2)Mark O.
Service was wonderful. I sat at the bar (by myself) on Valentine's Day and the staff was very accommodating for being very busy. They have a fresh squeezed juice extractor behind the bar. Combined with the Grey Goose, I had the smoothest and most refreshing screwdriver I've ever had in my life. One of the girls tending the bar was sharing some homemade chocolate chip cookies her grandmother had brought her for V-Day, which was very nice. Unfortunately, the food was just meh. The turkey tasted burnt and salty; the kielbasa was just so-so. As with other Jethro's, they have a vinegary Carolina style BBQ sauce that I haven't come across yet in Des Moines (haven't been to a couple of the other "hot spots" yet, however). The cole slaw was creamy, but I thought the inclusion of pickle chips in the slaw was off-putting. Food trends towards a 2, service gets 5 stars.
(3)Annie O.
Breakfast is really good with one exception, scrambled eggs they just can't make them. The menu says scrambled eggs, but they come fried or as an omelet. Really disappointed! I have been back three times to make sure it wasn't just a fluke. Every time fried! Very sad. Again great food! But they just can't make scrambled eggs
(3)Espresso T.
Service was terrible. That's the long and short of it. I went on a random weekday, mid morning and there were like 7 people at the host stand! I get seated and NOBODY comes to bring me water, introduce specials. Nothing. I watched them fraternize at the host podium. About 3-4 different waitresses walked by me with no water or anything, served their respective tables and went back to the host stand/bar. I was about to walk out & then finally someone came. I ordered the Papa breakfast with french toast and it was DROWNING in oil. I love breakfast & bacon but this was just nasty!
(2)Dan P.
Amazing BLT and the cheese squares were awesome. Great service great food! I would love to try more things maybe next visit.
(4)Karrissa A.
Went here for brunch this morning with a party of 5. We ended up waiting for about 50 minutes which is to be expected since it's a new restaurant and we went at a peak time. We started our meal out with a half a plate of onion rings as an appetizer which was pretty huge and perfect size for the five of us! I also got the bacon bacon Bloody Mary which would have been perfect had there been a little less bacon salt and pepper. The service was pretty good the waitress seemed a little overwhelmed, but she did a good job still. For my main course I ordered the cookie dough pancakes and they were amazing!! Definitely some of the best pancakes I have ever tasted. I also got a side of the Mac n cheese and that was also phenomenal!! All in all we had a great experience at Jethro's and can't wait to go back!
(5)Eric I.
Bacon? Yes lots of bacon on or in everything. Jethro's is exactly what it is supposed to be. They have more beer choices than I have seen anywhere else in Iowa. The burgers are good and the sauces are even better. I can't find a single thing to complain about this place. I will definitely be back.
(5)Tyler O.
Have had the chance to eat at the new Bacon Bacon twice now and both times was not disappointed. 1st time I got breakfast and tried hashbrown skillet called the 'Des Moines' which was very good normal breakfast style food. 2nd time I was suggested the Bacon Philly which was outstanding. At first I was skeptical that it was not going to have enough meat,but was wrong. It was loaded with tons of thin shaved bacon that almost had the texture of pulled pork once it was piled on. Add some onions, peppers, and cheese and I was enjoying every bite.
(5)Robert B.
I tried to visit this new Jethro's last week, the second week it was open, but at 11:30 A.M. there was already a line outside the entrance. To be expected with a new place. Today, only two people waiting outside at lunchtime, so Sis and I tried it. Only a short wait -- 15 minutes at most. Lots of room inside, although it is smaller than their restaurant in Waukee. We got a corner table and had a pretty good view of the place. I don't go to a restaurant to watch TV, so I have no idea how many there are. I'm interested in the food!! And it was interesting. I settled on the Brisket Bacon Melt, and Sis had the Billy Bacon Wrap. Service was quick, friendly and attentive. We had our dishes within five minutes. Portions were big, but not unpleasantly so. My sandwich was hot, crisp and juicy. And full of flavor. Sis was very pleased with hers as well. Our waitress, Tina, was quick to bring extra napkins (as I said, Juicy!) and to refill our glasses. In sum, a very good lunch in pleasant surroundings. I'll be back.
(4)Tony S.
They are still 'opening up' this location, but the food was good. We arrived about 6:00 on a Wednesday night. Not too terrible amount of people waiting, but they told us an hour wait. When we went inside to the bar we saw a ton of tables open. Guess they don't have their routine down yet. Anyway, three bar stools at the bar opened up, so we sat there. We all had the brisket and bacon sandwich. Very good. Staff was really friendly, and I'd like to go back to try a few other things on the menu - probably after the 'newness' crowd dies down a bit. We've eaten at other Jethro's locations, and so if you like that food, this will seem familiar.
(4)Taylor A.
We ate on a Sunday night and the whole place was pretty empty so we got a table as we walked in. I was very hungry and ready to eat. Another reviewer commented that the food is not the same as the other Jethro's. That comment sadly turned out to be true. I ordered the Nachos with pulled pork and my parents split a sandwich with sweet potato fries. The waiter made a mistake [no big deal] and the sandwich came with regular fries. I started to eat my Nachos and they were cold first bite. Now, maybe there are cold ingredients that brought the temp down, but this food was cold--no exaggeration. What disappoints me is that the waiter came back no more than 15 seconds later with the remake [sweet potato fries]. A new basket of fries should take 3 minutes minimum meaning that this food was prepped and ready to go. Make no mistake this food was definitely cold. I hate to insult others who work at this restaurant, but somebody is cutting corners here. If you are reading this review to see if you want to eat here, go to another Jethro's or better yet; patronize other local bbq places. I had a bad experience and I don't think I have high expectations.
(1)Julia M.
Lunch time. Very diverse diners. We arrived at 12:25 and were seated 15 minutes later. It seemed like there were several empty tables yet the waiting room wasn't keeping up with the empties. We selected Jethro's Bacon Bacon Steak sandwich and the Pork Tenderloin, both with tater tots for a side. It's just like the Jethro's you expect, but with an infusion of bacon everywhere. The Bacon Bacon Steak description in the menu was lacking, so in case you are wondering, we don't know what flavor the bacon is. There is no steak, it's all slices of thick cut bacon. Thick slices are the bacon steak. A few spots were all fatty and not crispy, but overall cooked well enough. The bread seemed to be ciabatta. Pickles came with it. Tasted great. The tenderloin was humongous compared to the bun. Breading was very crumbly and crispy-good, with plenty of pickles to cover the surface. Lettuce, two tomato slices, and onion slices came with. Tasted great. The tater tots were excellently crisp on the outside and tender on the inside! Drinks were refilled in a timely manner. There is a small 'store' inside the breezeway that includes pork related miscellany and a cooler of bacon. The bacon is marked for flavor but not weight for $7.95. We're assuming the packages are one pound. They appear to be hand sliced. We were finished by 1:20.
(3)Jason G.
Good food and nice atmosphere. Staff was on point and very attentive. Bacon was a little disappointing considering its their signature theme (not bad, just not what I expected). Will try again for sure
(4)Jennifer K.
Dined on a Sunday afternoon with two others. Not sure what the hype is about. All agreed that the bbq was fine, but that the sides were not up to par. The macaroni and cheese was tasteless (one of my companions described it as tasting like paste), and the jalapeno corn was nearly inedible with a funky flavor. Beans and coleslaw were described as "OK." I ordered Texas toast but got a corn muffin which was a basic jiffy-type muffin. Service was fast and friendly, however. I'd try it again, but maybe stick to the fries.
(2)Vanessa H.
15 min wait not bad for a to go order. the staff was friendly the ONLY bad thing is that there was no clear place to stand and not be in the waitstaffs way or someone wanting to sit at the bar. I suppose you could sit outside and guesstimate how long to wait for my food because, no one comes out and no announcement is made. beyond that the new place is great and busy.
(4)L W.
Had the grandmas breakfast. Two thin pieces of toast , two eggs (were okay )but the bacon that came with it were super thin. I assumed it would be thick bacon considering the name. Staff was friendly. Place was clean and new. I'll stick with hy-vee for breakfast-cheaper plus it comes with has browns there and a buck cheaper too : )
