The sandwich portions are generous and come with a small side portion and sliced pickles. The pulled pork comes without sauce and when we went, they only had spicy and blackberry sauce. As far as flavor, we agreed the pork was kinda dry but okay. I had the blackberry sauce, which I found runny and not so flavorful. My boyfriend had the spicy and said it was good, but the kick lingered in his mouth. My coleslaw was weak too. Overall, the location is perfect for this kind of meal. It's a reasonable price for what you get - sandwich, side, and drink. Probably great for local lunches, but we wouldn't go out of our way.

Chubbs BBQ is a fairly new food truck in the Marion area and overall I must say I'm impressed…read more They are quick, well priced and consistent. The meat has a great smokey flavor and is very tender. The baked beans have quickly become a favorite and the coleslaw is a close second. They offer huge sandwiches which include 6 oz. meat, one side and a drink for $7.50 or larger platters for around $11. They never keep me waiting long and they have many BBQ sauces to choose from including some interesting ones such as cherry habanero and blackberry. They are usually located around the corner of 7th Ave. and 44th St. in Marion behind Arnold's motor supply. So if you find yourself in the area around lunchtime it's definitely worth the stop!

We stopped in here today after visiting the nearby Czech museum. We shared the 2 meat/2 side…read moreplate with baked beans and Cole slaw. Cole slaw is just one of those foods that you never know if it's going to be good, lol. I did ask when I ordered it if it was mayonnaise-based or vinegar based, and he told me they use both! I had the pulled pork, and I thought it was very good and a generous portion, hubs had the brisket, which he said it was very good but a different consistency than what he is used to at a barbecue joint. I was definitely not a fan of the coleslaw as I found it a too salty for my taste so hubs had that one to himself. The baked beans were very good and I liked the addition of orange and yellow peppers. There are four different kinds of sauces to choose from, and they were tasty. $26 for the two meat to side plate, along with two iced teas. Friendly service.

Been meaning to give this place a try and finally made it. I got my food to go, but the interior…read morewas nice. Not large, kind of homey. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I got the 2 meat plate. Pulled pork and brisket. It was supposed to come with 3 free ribs on Wednesday, but I didn't get them. Kind of disappointed. The pulled pork was good, but I found the brisket a little dry and salty for my taste. The hickory barbecue sauce was very good and the iowa gold was great, a mustard based sauce. I though the Mac and cheese and peach cobbler was very good, although the cobbler was small. The cornbread muffin was amazing. Very moist and sweet. Didn't really need butter or honey.

We had hired Pop's to cater our family reunion but a few days prior, we stopped in to their…read morerestaurant to try the food. The pulled pork sandwich I had was possibly the best ever, and their root beer flavored BBQ sauce is "to die for"! The catered food for our family reunion was just as good, if not better. The brisket and chicken were amazing. Also, I'm not a big corn bread guy but I knew my family would want corn bread so we had that included. Let's just say, if all corn bread tasted as good as Pop's, I might eat more corn bread. If you're in the Iowa City area, do yourself a favor and stop at Pop's!

As I walked through the door I couldn't help but notice all the memorabilia on the wall and the smell of smoked meat. The service was great! The girl at the counter answered all my questions and made good suggestions. The food was amazing! I ordered a smoked brisket Philly and it was on point. Overall Pop's BBQ was on point and I highly recommend it!

10/10 SMASH BURGER, best I've ever tasted, they use ground brisket for the meat, only $5 on Monday!…read more We also ordered, pulled pork, brisket, coleslaw and the baked beans with pork. Overall, a solid 7.5/10. The pulled pork wasn't particularly remarkable. The brisket was falling apart (perfect) and had a nice Smokey tang to it but the bark needs serious improvement. The coleslaw was dry, crisp and refreshing. Baked beans with pork were solid. Overall my 2nd favorite BBQ joint in CR behind "Up in Smoke." I deducted a star because the entrees were underwhelming with exception given to the smash burger AND they do NOT have POTATO SALAD, dear Asian owners, this is America, we like some tater salad with the BBQ, thanks you! Friendly staff, clean environment, kind of a sports bar/family sit down type environment.

We literally saw 3 people walk out when Told that, Seriously! You're a bbq joint. How the EFF are you out of pulled pork at 6pm in the middle of the week? My partner ordered the brisket combo. If I'm able to post pics I will. If you can imagine a Frozen Banquet Salisbury steak dinner that's what he had with bbq sauce. I will say the tangy bbq sauce was delicious. I had The Bases are Loaded fries. Served cold. This was such a disappointment. We are going to try it again but will call to see if they have pulled pork. We hate that Q Dogs in Marion is no more.

I noticed today that I have not reviewed Willie Ray's. That's pretty crazy, because I eat there A…read moreLOT. Like, I own multiple Willie Ray's t-shirts. How have I never reviewed them? Well, I guess my 500th Yelp review is as good a time as any. I don't eat potato salad, but I have to start with the potato salad because my wife loves Willie Ray's potato salad so much that I actually order it as my side just to give to her. So, I guess it's pretty good. I'm pretty sure I've had every entree at Willie Ray's. I think their best entree might actually be their barbecue chicken, but I also love their ribs. A lot of places make ribs that I think are too fatty. My guess is the ribs are the same before they go in the smoker, and the ones I consider too fatty just haven't fully rendered. Regardless, the ribs at Willie Ray's never seem too fatty, or too greasy. They're always cooked just right, and have a great flavor. The entree I get the most is probably the pulled pork. It's also very good. It's not as good as the ribs, but I usually go to Willie Ray's for lunch, and something about ribs just makes me sleepy. Their brisket is awesome, too. They seem to run out of that pretty quickly, though. If you ever go there and they have a side called chicken ro-mac, definitely try it. They don't seem to have it often. So, you don't want to pass up an opportunity to try it. Based on the name, and the flavor, I'm assuming it has Rotel tomatoes in it. Other than that, it's mac and cheese with pulled chicken. I highly recommend it. Anyway, I've never had a bad meal there, and I've had a lot of meals there.
