Patti's Pit Stop is a gem in Correctionville. The BBQ is great, especially the brisket, and the macaroni salad is one of my favorites. Always a solid stop for great food! read more

I wanted to leave a review on your Facebook page but I can't post on your page so I'll message you. "Today on my way back from a conference near Sioux Falls we stopped at the Correctionville Casey's gas station next to Patti's Pit Stop. As I filled up we happened to see the signs near the road and the signs on the building of the old station building boasting of brisket, ribs, pulled pork and more. About that same time a fella wearing overalls stepped out the front door of the shop looked at us as we were refueling our truck and waved at us being friendly. Thinking that it was lunch time and that we were getting hungry that friendly wave sealed the deal. After we refueled the truck we pulled over next door and went inside where we met "Cowboy" our cashier and cook and was immediately welcomed in. After looking at the menu wall and asking our questions we settled on a BBQ Burrito and a Train Wreck grilled sandwich with sides. (next time I'm trying the pork nachos!) When the food came out Cowboy brought us both their original bbq sauce as well as their special Habanero Mango sauce of the week. Let me tell you, this was some of the best BBQ I've had in ages and being from Des Moines there are plenty of places in the metro to choose from but none compared to this little shop. This food was AMAZING. I'm surprised the location didn't have standing room only because if this place was better known about there wouldn't be an empty seat in the house! This is like Correctionville's greatest best kept secret! You've got to try this! The only bad thing about this experience was the realization that Des Moines where I live is nearly three hours away! You've got to try this food! read more

I've just moved back to Iowa after 47 years of living in metropolitan areas. I've had some good bbq over the years but today I had lunch at Patti's Pit Stop in Correctionville and let me tell you......ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Very unassuming place but very cool and unique! The salad bar was one of the freshest, the staff were nice and the food was excellent! Best I've had to date! I'll be back, for sure!!!! read more

Pulled pork was so tender, brisket sandwich was very tender also. Sides of beans and macaroni salad were great! Will stop again! read more
