Tried out The Concessions Stand yesterday. BBQ is my husband’s favorite type of food. I like it too. I tried a corn dog, Mac & cheese, and a BBQ Chicken egg roll. All were delicious. Mac & Cheese was creamy & a touch of garlic! Loved it! The egg roll was a surprise and delicious! Corn dog was a good treat since I usually only get at the fair. My friend got ribs and they were very moist. Was glad to see they sold meat only by the pound.
I took brisket home for my hubby. He thought it was delicious as well. Moist and well seasoned. He loved their baked beans. I wasn’t a fan because they had red peppers in them.
I’ll be back!

Kansas City born and raised BBQ girl in Des Moines and I came to say these are the BEST ribs I’ve had. I’ve been searching for the last 5 years to find anything comparable to KC BBQ, and this is IT.
We got the combo platter: 3 ribs, 2 meats (jalapeño cheddar sausage and pulled pork), 2 sides (Mac & cheese and jalapeño cream corn) and a drink. While the pork and sausage were just okay, the sides were great and the ribs, I’ll be dreaming of the ribs. They were well seasoned, juicy and cooked perfectly. I am not a huge fan of sloppy, fall off the bone, sopped in sauce ribs. These are not that. You actually have to bite into it, but the meat releases with zero effort and maximum flavor. To me, the sign of great BBQ is excellent flavor without having to add BBQ sauce. These ribs are it. Perfect. Will drive 30 minutes just to get them again. Also, the homemade pickled onion was not something I’m used to but could eat a pint of on its own.
The restaurant is new, it was FULL. We got our food and drove to a nearby park to eat. Quick friendly service, can’t wait to go back!

My husband and I each tried the pulled pork sandwich. The meat was moist and tender! We look forward to eating there again soon!!!

Amazing BBQ. The ribs were outstanding and the brisket was delicious. Beans had great flavor, as well.
