Iowa Barbeque Company - Le Mars

Cornbread, Mac Cheese, Chicken, and sauces were absolutely amazing! Ryan was very friendly and welcomed me with a smile? I will definitely be back!

The Mac and cheese is amazing!!!!! The meat and sauces wow....most importantly the staff are super friendly.

Great barbecue! That brisket sandwich is to die for! Cool place, outdoor seating, and great service! Nice people!

It’s hard not to comment on others posts. Buuuuut…I’m resisting…We came through Lamar, Iowa on some “ice cream festival”weekend, our brief stop proved incredible. The town itself was charming-and then we found the Iowa BBQ Company. I’ve run barbecue restaurants whose names many would recognize and have no trouble loading up my house, yard, and acreage with folks when I choose to barbecue and smoke meats-which I’ve been doing for over 30 years. That said-this place is legit! There is no shortage of great meat in Iowa and these folks know what to do with it! They have one of the most impressive smokers I’ve ever seen. Even the sausage, which is hard to get right, was great. The brisket, ribs, chicken, and pulled pork (yes, we sampled all of them all pretty smoking amazing! The engaging staff, even the free beer(! (interesting we were driving so I had to decline that one oh, this place was really well thought out Overall-from someone who has sampled barbecue throughout the company and will be a judge at a competition this weekend-I was extremely impressed. I would not have been going by and found the welcoming staff, the awesome proprietor, the kind lady behind the counter who makes all the sides (seriously, the macaroni and cheese should be its own food group but for an odd side trip. A nearly perfect experience in an off the beaten path, kind of hard to find place. When my travels take me even remotely back to this area, we will return here. Thanks so much-great job!

Very expensive for what you get. The man behind the counter was also grumpy and uninviting. The food was decent, but I do not see myself returning. It is what it is.
