Wholesome Weirdos
Iowa is no stranger to the Bar or Tavern but have you ever been to a proper Roadhouse? Well someday soon you’ll have to be like Swayze (or Sam Elliott) and head over to Smithland and Buffalo Joes Roadhouse. Stepping in to a clean and unpretentious dining room with a bar and beers on tap, take a seat for some chicken sandwiches (crispy or grilled), pork sammiches, wings (with abundant sauces available) and bodacious burgers. Brisket is available Friday and Saturday nights. We had the daily special: Nashville Hot Sliders (with sauce made in house!) Coleslaw was tangy, sweet and crunchy and the fries were crispy as requested. Our waitress, Justina, was knowledgeable about their offerings, attentive and super friendly. Pack up the kids, hop on the bike or just take a drive for some great food, great prices and fun service.

Stopped in here about 11:30 for lunch, and the place was empty, except for the staff. The bar/restaurant itself is very nice, really big; seems oversized for as little business that it was doing (but Fri & Sat nights seem like it could be a fun place).

Stopped in for lunch while on a motorcycle ride. Really nice friendly staff. The pulled pork was amazing. Easily one of the best I’ve ever had. Don’t pass this place up. Go find out for yourself.

We really enjoy coming to Buffalo Joe’s. The staff is always friendly and our waitress Tina did an amazing job. Pictured is the half rack of ribs that were one of the Friday evening specials available after 5pm. The 30 minute drive is definitely worth it, keep up the great work!

Food is amazing! The staff is equally amazing! Worth the road trip out of the city if you’ve got the time.

My daughter & I came from breakfast, served Fri-Sun, amazing maple glaze on the cinnamon roll and choose your meat bicuit & gravy: bacon, sausage, rib meat, or chorizo or build a breakfast sammich. YUMMY!

Well, we made it back for our second visit finally, as my first 5-star review said. Everything was perfect, the same as the first time. Staff was very friendly, restaurant was clean and not packed with people, food came out fairly quick and was delicious. Two thumbs up!
